Big Quote by GloRilla
“When you think about Memphis music, you think about Gotti, you know what I'm saying, and Three 6 and them. That was the face of Memphis when you think about rap. They had the city in a chokehold, and you can't go to the club without hearing a couple of Gotti songs. So he was a big factor growing up.”
