[edit] Beef
A mixtape called Street Certified Vol. 2 was released with disses toward Young Jeezy from another artist on Big Cat Records named Black Magik, with Gucci only on a couple of them. Jeezy never responded to Black Magik's disses as said in one of the songs: "Gucci ain't bang first, I shitted on you, constipated and all I shitted on you, I left an enema output on yo face."[citation needed]. The three songs that were mainly Gucci Manes disses are: Round 1 (Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy), Mini 14 (Round 2), and 745. He is also currently beefing with Jay-Z, as well as Young Jeezy, and BMF. Jeezy actually did respond to one of the disses, the track is called "Stay Strapped" and it is placed to the instrumental of T.I.'s "A.S.A.P." Also in 2005 Gucci Mane released tracks on a Big Cat mixtape with shots aimed towards former artist signed to Big Cat named "C-Time." C-TIME fired back along with Young Jeezy on a track called "BIG CAT PRESENTS CUCCI MANE." Since then the feud has continued but neither artists have yet to speak publicly about one another. Young Jeezy then fired back with the song "Streets on Lock" where he is quoted saying, "What type a real nigga name himself after a bag / Nigga yous a hoe, a Louis Vutton fag." In turn, Gucci Mane replied on his 2007 mixtape "Ice Attack" on the track "The Benchwarmers".
