Gucci Mane, the OG who arguably birthed Atlanta's hip-hop renaissance, is having a real time of it right now. After being released from prison last year, Guwop has gone from strength to strength, getting engaged, putting out a stellar album, covering fashion magazines and even publishing a memoir. This is all well and fine, but there's one major project Gucci has had little to no recognition for: his Twitter.
Amidst the slew of hip-hop mag and Bri-from-Indiana retweets are Gucci's various gems of wisdom, popping up right when you least expect it. If Gucci were to give up his illustrious rap career, he would have a real future as a lifestyle Guru. Guwoop™, if you will, could have a real future. In fact, Gucci has advice for almost every situation this mad, mad world could throw at you, let's review.
The key to self-love is self-affirmation:

We would all do well to follow Gucci's lead in matters of facial expression:
#Focus! #Execute!
Don't ever be stale:
Give yourself credit where credit is due:
Hustle until you have no more hustle left, then hustle some more!
Finally, know your worth:
Gucci my sweet, sweet angel of music – never change.
