MTV Shows

“That joint hard, ain’t it? It was crazy,” he said about working with Mariah. “It was big.” Gucci said 50 Cent’s manager, Chris Lighty, orchestrated the guest appearance.

“Shout-out to Mariah Carey and her whole squad and my boy Chris Lighty,” Gucci said. “He got me and Mariah together. I appreciate it. He put me on there as well as her. Both of them are smart for doing that. The song came out hard. Mariah knew I wanted to do a song with her. It finally happened, and it turned out hard. I just flew up there to New York, went in the studio with her. I flew right out and went back on the road. When I do a song with people, I like to really get in the studio with them so I could feel they swag and they could feel mine. The music comes out better.”

Gucci said he actually heard the Black Eyed Peas remix all over the radio when he came to the Apple to work with Carey. “My boy Will.I.Am put me on there,” he said. “He said he’s been liking my stuff. So he got the record to me. It was hard.”

Earlier this week, Gucci debuted the song “Awesome,” featuring Snoop Dogg, on V103 with DJ Greg Street. It was one of four records the pair recorded in one day during Snoop’s recent trip to the ATL.
