Gucci Mane’s Ice Cream Cone Tat or Kanye’s Self-Portrait Watch?
Which is worse?
@KanyeWest @gucci1017
Yesterday, we had some very good discussions about politics in light of the recent events in Tuscon, Arizona and I hope you all continue to offer valuable insight but with today being Friday I figured I’d lighten the mood just a little bit. (You know Highbrid Nation can’t ever become predictable.)
There’s no secret that Hip Hop might need to see a psychiatrist. She’s totally out of her mind. So should it surprise us that in the age of tattoo overkill that Gucci Mane might bless us with perhaps one of the silliest of all time? The design which features a three-scoop ice cream cone, is adorned with the word “brrr” on it and plastered on the side of his face…well you can see that for yourself. Birdman would be proud.
Tattoo artist, Shane Willoughby told VIBE he was very apprehensive about the work but noted that the entertainer was completely sober.
“I was [hesitant] like ‘Are you sure you want to put that much [ink] in that area? He came straight to the counter and that’s where he pointed. I won’t tattoo anybody if their [drunk] or high because I can’t stand the smell of weed… [Gucci] seemed completely sober. He knew what he was doing. When [Gucci] said he wanted to do the ice cream thing I said ‘Well why don’t we do it somewhere else?’ But he was like I don’t have anywhere else. He said ‘I want something rock ‘n roll.’ There’s nothing more rock ‘n roll then lightening bolts.. I don’t think I’ll ever do [that] again… no matter how successful [the celebrity]. He was stoked. Had no regrets… was jumping up and down. That’s the way he rolls.”
Not to be outdone, the very talented but most nasasistic human alive, Kanye West unveiled his new custom-made yellow gold iced out Tiret watch complete with 8 karats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds and of course a portrait of none other than himself on the face. Fresh off the success of his recent album the $180,000 price tag was probably but a drop in the bucket. Must be nice. Didn’t his mom just pass? Maybe that might have been a nice tribute to her but ehhh I guess he missed the boat. At least he toned it down from that huge $300,000 Egyptian Pharaoh pendant and the four-finger pyramid ring he wore at the BET Awards last year.

Silly question, Juan: Kanye can take the watch off; GM’s tat is on for life! He can get it removed and have a big scar on the side of his face…what an ASS! I have to see some things to believe it. If someone told me he did that, I would have accused them of lying. Nobody can be that dumb! Obviously, …
Gucci’s tattoo is worse! That shit looks so damn stupid! And then people wonder why they are judged or always being looked down upon. Its because of stupid ass niggas like Gucci. Even worse than Game’s dumbass butterfly tattoo before he inked over it. If anybody out there in my HN family thinks this tattoo is dope, then please kill yourself. As for Kanye’s watch, I wouldn’t expect anything else from him. At least its better to look at than Gucci’s stupid fucking tat. You know the tattoo artist was thinking WTF?
Eehh, I disagree with Gucci Mane’s actions as well as the actions of anyone who would tatoo anything anywhere that couldn’t be covered, but i”m not going to go as far as to tell them to kill themselves…. its kinda extreme…
Never thought I’d see the day when Mr. Bad Guy would think something is a little extreme! LMAO! Ok maybe I was a little extreme with my choice of words…I wouldn’t want any of the HN fam to kill themselves over this….but you should slap yourself. TWICE lol
LOL!!!
.
Yeah I know I’m trying to turn over a new leaf this year. I’m softening up a little, like beating up people with wooden bats instead of aluminum ones… and using lower caliber ammo..
LMAO!!!
This what I was meant when I commented on influence… There are kids that see Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne & Soulja Boy with their facial tatoos and their full body Yakuza style tatoos and think its cool and want to emulate this type of nonsense…. What the hell is going to happen when these kids need to interview for jobs? This shit is not accecptable everywhere…
i hope gucci is smart with money b/c NO ONE will hire his A$$ with such a stupid tat on his face. as for these kids out here who thinks its cool to destroy your face for fashion sake you will pay in the end when you cannot get a decent career.
U ain’t never lie @”i hope gucci is smart with money b/c NO ONE will hire his A$$ with such a stupid tat on his face.”…..
I just dont understand how he came to that conclusion and why no one in his camp talked him outta of that tatoo, it really shows how mentally challenge this man is…!?!
i agree with all you dudes, people now a days do way 2 much when it comes 2 ink, especially these half assed so called celebreties, tattin themselves up like they actually have talent, i mean an ice cream cone on ur face, dumb ass dude, he better b a great business man, kuz, if his rap game doesnt go 4 15yrs plus, wtf is dude gonna do n u have these dumb ass people that dont got shit goin on 4 themselves that wanna copy rappers, actors n people they “idolize” by gettin dumb ass tatts or piercings 2, thinking they’re gonna ball like them, then reality slaps ‘em on the face n either they get surgery n look dumb ass thru, end up with a crappy job or grindin’, gucci shud slap himself, real talk, sad thing is, its the mindless leading the mindless, bout kanye, aftr momz passed away, duez been on 1.
Another rapper making “Dummy Moves” WTF kind of drugs is he taking ? I do hope that was the case he was on some shit. I hope when his last 8 mins of fame is up he can work at Baskin Robbin or Braum’s in the Midwest we have braum’s ice cream or Ben and Jerry’s , my son listens 2 this lame ass rapper. Any rapper that gets tats on their face should never be allowed 2 speak or grab a mic again in public. Where are the old school artist shit I am so sick of these corny ass rappers.
I agree with u, 2 many corny bootsy ass rappers, either people dont got taste anymore or they dgaf bout what they listen 2, dudes shud chk out “how many mc’s’ by black moon, aaw the days of real hip hop/rap, miss ‘em
