You dont see that many Italian rappers these days

As long as the concert still has "OJ da Juice Man," it should still attract enough white hatred and debauchery to make it worth selling some food stamps for.

Free Speech
Was Gucci Mane denied his right to free speech by NC A&T and it's administration. And where was the ACLU during this controversity. Even Neo-Nazi's and KKK types have free speech. We here about and from the Taliban and Al Qaida everyday. Well hello.

Are those his... underwear on his head? Wow. Yes, that's just who I would want to give my entertainment dollars to- a man who can't figure out which end is his a$$!

Is this the type of individual the future generation looks to? It is no wonder the country is going to hell. Am I a lot older than the crowd that supports him, yes, but I believe we should use our language and our influence to promote positivity in the African American culture. Not the love of drugs and gangs. I commend the University for dis-associating itself from him, he obviously was not 'fit' to come any way. Enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame Mr. Davis.

Good grief!!! Doesn't this 'Institute of Higher Learning' want to encourage higher eschelon thinking and activities. I almost cannot comprehend why any parent would want his/her child in such an environment that encourages such low level thinking. I have never even heard of this clown before (or any of the other clowns in the circus lineup). Kinda takes the luster and shine off my A&T alumnus status. The world is much different outside of Greensboro.

I think this poetic justice. NCAT should be commended for having the will to say this brand of hip-hop music is not welcomed on our campus. More of the HBCUs should make the same stand.Hip-Hop as a whole should and can do much better than this.

I hope this is the last story about this. Is there any other news to talk about . I think some in the city have their fingers crossed hoping something bad happens due to all the hype.. from the media.. Mind Eating Demon In America. NR has done a good job with running this issue into the ground but not covering that NC A&T Homecoming is this Citys biggest event ever which brings more money into the city than the golf tourney. I see we still have some Jim Crow minded people with lingering demons of underhanded ways controlling their agenda.. Will they cover any thing positive it seems some days I dont know if I am reading NR or the Rihno times which does a good job of slander and running issues into the ground.. Think about it

Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On?"
Jimmy Ruffin "What Becomes of the Broken-hearted?"
...just a couple of many songs about social commentary that didn't need to be racist or mysogynistic to make strong points. Even Run-DMC's "Fight the Power" sent the right message, if you listen carefully.
This rapper's First Amendment rights were not violated. Educate yourself if you think that is the case, because you're wrong. His issues with the law may improve his 'street cred' but they'll do little to improve his bank account. It's a shame that so many youths take 50 Cent's admonition to "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" at face value. Look around. Most are dying. That's not a good plan.
Chris Brown knows the difference between being rich and having wealth. He's not a stand-up comedian, he's sharing valid social commentary. Pay attention.

The Point is Gucci Mane has been to Greensboro plenty of times. NR has said nothing about him. None of the posters prob even knew about him until it was a connection to NC A&T. To go on and on about it is my point for what.. NC A&T dropped its name off the concert move on . It a lot of under handed stuff that goes on in the city that is more news worthy than a raper coming to a concert. Lock your doors be afraid be very afraid. The Issue is clearly black and white its 2009 and it seems like we still have some 60s minded people writing articles . GBPD is becoming a joke. Two murders with in walking distance of police sub stations and a 80 year old man had to defend himself against an intruder and his house was with in walking distance of a police sub station.. Thats a issue that needs to be talked about . They can do a good job of protecting down down blocking streets off writing tickets but besides anything else GBPD is a joke..

Only a few thousands are you serious are you connected to earth. Must not Mayberry minds kill me. Gucci Mane was here this summer man it was crazy the whole city was gang banging and there were a lot of drive byes car jackings robberies man they even recruited new gang members after his concert all the concert goers terrorized the whole city man if he came this weekend he would have took over the whole city and life in Greensboro would be destroyed .. Lol whats funny is that violence is blamed on rappers but when I go to Gander Mountain I see kids no older than 8 in the store with their fathers looking at fire arms picking up guns Ar 15s I guess this weekend sales at Gander Mountain went up due to the fear of Gucci Mane and NC A&T homecoming ..lol..ITs sad but violence is what this country was was founded on way before rap music just pick up a history book..

Unless this "rapper" has a positive message to bring to the table he needs to stay out of NC we have enough negativity and hate going on without the likes of this trouble maker I think the Aggies need someone like T.I. to visit , atleast he has a reality message about "DECISIONS" that you make everyday from the time you rise out of bed in the morning until you lie down to sleep.( praying before of course for another day and another way to get through it )

Not even gonna read the comments..AT&T has some of our best and brightest, to have some ghetto rapper spewing hate against women, cops and white people is just wrong..and goes against everyting that university stands for.

A&T Administrators are such hypocrites anyway. In 1987 under then Chancellor Ed Fort, A&T "defended" the right of the head of the Klu Klux Klan to speak on A&T Campus (wonder if the Klan represents the image A&T want to portray?) while at the same time denying Ted Mangum, a former A&T SGA president and Vietnam Vet the right to speak on campus--even though then SGA President, Mike Brunson had invited Mangum to speak. Fort and Vice Chancellor Welborne stood on stage and threaten to turn the power off if Mangum was allowed to speak. Less than 6 months later, they were defending the Klan leader's "right" to speak on campus. Question? How could the students sign a contract with the "rapper" anyway without the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs approving the initial expenditure of that much money? THey are a bunch of hypocrites who blame the students when they got "called out" for being incompetent. I ain't impressed.
