When Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion, and N.O.R.E. switched to P.A.P.I., their fans seemed OK with it, but Gucci Mane's legion of followers weren't having it.
This morning the 1017 Brick Squad boss made the announcement via Twitter that he was changing his name to Guwop.
The decision drew an immediate and angry response from his fans.
Finally Gucci had seen enough and said to hell with the name change.
Do you think it was wise to scrap the name change?

MTV continues to roll out their list of the Hottest MC's in the Game as we countdown to No. 1. Today three more artists names were added.
24-year old Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky was one of the most talked about emcees of 2012. His debut album Long.Live.A$AP made it's debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts with sales of 139,000 copies when it was released in January 2013.
By that time he had already dropped two hot singles with "Goldie" and "F*ckin Problems" in 2012. He was also featured on Schoolboy Q's "Hands on the Wheel" and the remix to Rihanna's "Cockiness."
Add to that his successful Long Live A$AP Tour, and that was enough to place him at No. 8 on MTV's list.
Kanye West is next up on the list landing at No. 8. The Louis Vuitton Don didn't have a solo album in 2012, but he kept his name ringing by releasing the G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer, which produced the hit singles "Mercy," "Clique," "New God Flow" and the remix to Chief Keef's "I Don't Like."
West made guest appearances on 2 Chainz's "Birthday Song" and the remix to Rihanna's "Diamonds."
Yeezy also successfully took over Europe for part of the year with Jay-Z on the Watch the Throne tour.
Is No. 7 a good spot for Kanye?
Big Sean is an interesting choice for No. 6 on the Hottest MC's in the Game list. The Detroit rapper didn't have an album out in 2012, but he did release the Detroit mixtape which featured "Mula." He also dropped the single "Guap."
He appeared on "Mercy" with Kanye West, 2 Chainz and Pusha T. Sean was also featured on "Clique" with Kanye West and Jay-Z.
In your opinion was that enough to rank him so high on the list? The brain trust at MTV certainly thinks so.

When casual fans think of the best player currently in the NBA they usually pick either Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. It's easy to see why. Both of those players have won championships and are born leaders.
Bryant has five championships in seven trips to the NBA Finals. James finally got his first in three tries last June.
Michael Jordan recently picked Bryant over James because in his mind winning more rings is the easiest way to measure greatness and Kobe agreed.
"I don't understand what the big hype [is]. It's real. It's real talk. I mean, we're in it to win championships, period," Bryant said on SiriusXM's "Off the Dribble" recently. "When I was growing up, [Shaquille O'Neal] and myself, we were both measured by championships," said Bryant. "For us it was championship or bust. It wasn't about MVPs, it wasn't about numbers. It was about, if you don't win a championship this year, you're a failure."
So does the talk about the best player in the NBA exclude Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder? The 6'9 All-Star doesn't have a ring, but he has led the Thunder to a championship series in 2012, where the Miami Heat beat them 4 games to 1.
Although he doesn't have a ring yet, Durant does have all the other intangibles to at least be in the conversation as one of the best players, if not the best in the NBA.
Since entering the league 5 years ago out of the University of Texas, Durant has won Rookie of the Year, made All-NBA First Team three times, is the seventh player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring three consecutive seasons, is a 4-time All-Star, won the All-Star game MVP in 2012 and as a member of the U.S. national teams won gold medals in the 2010 World Championship and the 2012 London Olympics.
His career averages are 26.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 3.1 apg and 1.3 spg.
Durant recently sat down with ESPN's Magic Johnson to talk about his friendship with LeBron what it will take for the Thunder to win its first NBA championship.

Future definitely made his mark in 2012. With the release of his debut album Pluto, the Atlanta rapper had the clubs jumping with "Tony Montana," "Neva End" "Same Damn Time" and "Turn On the Lights."
Future has also become a go to hook man. He's appeared on records with DJ Drama, Ace Hood, Pusha T, Rihanna and Lil Wayne with his signature singing style.
In the minds of the people over at MTV that was enough to earn him the No. 9 spot on their Hottest MC's in the Game list.
Do you think Future deserves the No. 9 spot? Or should he be placed higher?
