The self proclaimed weirdo and his tattoo which inspired an entire city of rappers (more like two) to follow his lead, Gucci Mane, graces the cover of The Source for their annual “green issue.” Even cooler, Rap Radar’s own B. Dot is the man behind the interview. Much respect to the guy for the accomplishment because he’s been putting in groundwork for years. It’s cool to see good things happen to good people.

Source: You don’t make Forbes by being stupid. Do you feel like people doubt your intelligence?

Gucci: Yeah. The critics and bloggers ridicule and scrutinize [but] it fuels my fire. I can’t say I want to enjoy all the spoils of the game without being criticized. I actually welcome it as a part of success. I don’t want everybody to like me. So many people feel like I don’t deserve the things I got. I know I worked so hard for ‘em, so [criticism] makes me work even harder.

For what it’s worth, The Return Of Mr. Zone 6 is going to be stupid (the good kind) in the car now that the weather is beginning to warm up.
