Joe Budden Explains How Gunna Won

The rap world thinks Gunna is a snitch because he walked out of jail after taking a plea deal in Georgia's RICO case against YSL, while Young Thug and other crew members remain locked up.

But Gunna still moved forward with his A Gift & A Curse album.

And it didn't do half-bad.  The 83K it put up first week is a step down from his previous efforts, but also about the same as what Thugger's Business Is Business album is projected to do this week.

Joe Budden thinks he knows why Wunna may beat the snitch tag: talent.  [Jump to 18 minutes.]

"They can’t trick me with their little rap conditioning and rap ideologies, f*ck outta here. That Gunna sh*t sound good. It’s better than [Thug’s album] and the rest of th*m street n*gga albums that have dropped. It’s better than all of them — with no features and no Metro Boomin, with no help and no support. He did it," Joe declared.
