Gucci Mane On Waka's 'Retirement:'

Gucci Mane claims his fellow Atlanta-born rap star Waka Flocka has gotten better as a lyricist. Gucci shared his thoughts on Waka's talent in a recent interview--and also shared that he'd hate to see Waka hang up his mic--as the rapper has threatened to do numerous times in recent months.

"He's got very, very, very, very, very good," Gucci told SOHH. "You know what I'm saying? He was already good when he started but now when he goes to the studio, he's so focused. He's doesn't even write down lyrics anymore. You see him just going in off the top of his head sometimes. He's putting every line together, smiling."

"Me just being honest, I'm one of Waka's biggest fans," Gucci added. "I'm a huge fan of his music, you know what I'm saying? Me just being a fan and seeing how he is when he goes into the studio, I would hate for him to stop rapping because I like what he's doing. Every song he's every made, I've liked. He goes hard. So I would hate for him to leave the game because I think he's bringing a whole new thing to the rap game. He's got his own style."
