Above all, Gucci drawls a crowd

Being a rap fan is hard work these days -- so many blogs to check, so many feuds to follow, a never-ending sluice of mix tapes to download. If rap music was the black CNN in Public Enemy's heyday, today's rapscape feels like a Google-age Tower of Babel.

In 2009, the 29-year-old, born Radric Davis, has dipped in and out of jail and rehab, booked and bagged various tours, stoked and squashed alleged beefs -- and still found time to record more than 150 songs for a spate of mix tapes that made him one of the most beloved rappers of the year.
