Every so often I’ve got too much good ish in my inbox to post it all, so I just throw them all in the oven and cook up some Hot Links. In today’s addition we explore the news that Gucci Mane is headed to jail for up to a year, watch a hilarious video from Amp Live called “Gary is a Robot” and blast the latest dope track from the Strange Fruit Project, “Crash”. See more to read, watch, listen and download…

Considering that Gucci Mane’s gotten more media attention lately than the swine flu I spend most of today avoiding posting this, but in the end the comic potential was just too high for to to hold off any longer. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Gucci Mane’s official video for “Spotlight” featuring Usher. Enjoy.

It’s not that I hate Gucci Mane, it’s that I’m confused by him. Or more accurately, I’m confused by why everyone else seems to like him so much. Suddenly the man’s guesting on more tracks than Weezy, and not always for the best. So believe me, I feel a little odd saying this, but I’m kind of digging Gucci’s new “Spotlight” single. The production’s dope, Usher does the damn thing on the hook and, yes, Gucci’s flow is pretty damn catchy. See more to download…

Two videos hit my inbox this morning and they were they couldn’t have been more different. “Passing By” from Baltimore indie artist Black Sunn is the definition of low budget, focusing entirely on the music. On the other hand, Gucci Mane’s “Wasted” is an alcohol soaked ode to mutli-millionaires featuring more groupies than a “For the Love of Ray-J” casting call. Put them side-by-side and the two videos become a testament to the current state of the hip-hop game.
