Gucci Mane & Rick Ross In Columbus Tomorrow

Posted on May 29, 2008 by Wes Flexner

A lot of people are riding pretty hard for “The Boss’”, Rick Ross decision to not wear a shirt.

I still am partial to a shirtless Gucci Mane. While Ross gets points for being super fat and having cool looking tatts, I feel like some sort of stylist gets paid 250 dollars an hour to make sure his stomach is angled correct and the right oils are applied.

You think Gucci Mane would let some South Beach stylist apply weird lotions to bring out the texture in his beergut? Fuck no! That would take time away from doing drugs and dancing as seen in the clip below.

When you got a Bart Simpson chain do you need a metrosexual belly?
