    1. Never heard the words “Trick Daddy” and “N.W.A” on the same sentence. Fuck a black nigga named Gunplay for that one. There is no way you can say you were influenced by gods N.W.A and bitch made Trick Daddy

    2. This dudes not bad on the cool, really, he’s what we in Texas call a damn fool….he’s not wack at all, give him a chance……

    3. Ain’t dis same dude who 50 exposed gettin knocked out and all rick ross did wuz just stand over him and looked man all dem niggas flaw except meek mill I guarantee 12000 or less first week watch

      1. Me thinks it would be a great idea for you waste yourself. Do it. I don’t think you have the guts to do it.

    4. The key to eating a black and white cookie is that you wanna get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate. And yet still somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie, all our problems would be solved.

    5. gunplay aint bad at all, he just gets hated on cuz he’s associated with Officer William Roberts aka the fakest rapper of all time aka Gusto from CB4..listen to gunplays shit and judge him based on that, not on his association with Officer Ricky’s fraudulent ass

    6. Andrew Luck was just taken first in the NFL draft. I’m proud of you, make that money white man. I can’t hate on a young white man making money.

    7. gunplay spits that street rap i cant wait for this album i hope he has a joint with meek mill that would be dope the both spit for the streets thats rare these days

    8. I’m surprised more people don’t credit Action Bronson with inspiring them. Action Bronson is on his way to Lil Wayne status. When Wayne was building a buzz, he put out a shitload of material, just like Bronson is doing now. All Bronson needs is one crossover single. Then people will start featuring them on their songs, and then he will put out a classic album. Even if Gunplay doesn’t shout out Bronson, and up-and-coming rapper will soon enough.

    9. this guy is pure garbage willaims team is trying to get him on next by paying all these sites and getting him out there his just another fake from the suburbs of miami who has watched Scarface to many times
