Clapping: Either You'll Keep a Tool, or You'll Get Caught Lackin'

[DISCLAIMER]

On the song “Trappin Like a Fool” by rapper Fat Trel, from his third mixtape No Secrets (2010), is a sample from rapper Gucci Mane’s freestyle on the Hood Affairs Ent. Gucci Mane - Trap-A-Holic DVD (2008). I recall hearing the non-written lyrical content when it was first released!

Gucci Mane stated, “I was trappin’ [selling drugs] like a fool, me and that fat fool. Kept that fuckin’ tool [firearm]. Didn’t go to school. I was trappin’ like a bitch. I sold a lot of bricks [kilos]. I hit a lot of licks [robberies]. I really don’t give a shit ‘bout a pussy-ass nigga!”

When first hearing the freestyle, I laughed at how confidently Gucci Mane rapped about what was plausibly an honest accounting of his life. This is because he reportedly had an extensive criminal history, yet he was apparently presenting an accurate depiction of his ordeals.

Of course, I’m not judging Gucci Mane or his behavior. I see him merely as a fallible human being, as am I. I maintain the same perspective regarding Fat Trel who stated on “Trappin Like a Fool”:

Trappin’ like a bitch, till ya man start talkin’

Then your man start hatin’, now he actin’ like a bitch

Nigga disrespectin’, then ya man don’t check ‘em

Then we reachin’ for the weapons, and they clappin’ like a bitch

In those lines, the rapper ostensibly stated that he distributed illegal drugs until someone apparently behaved in a manner of which Fat Trel didn’t approve. Therefore, when using “weapons,” he began “clappin’ like a bitch.”

In rap, clapping is slang for shooting guns. Also, when a “bitch” (per Fat Trel) is twerking (sexually suggestive dancing characterized by rapid, repeated hip thrusts and shaking of the buttocks, especially while squatting), the audible sound from her booty cheeks is called clapping.

As well, one hip hop slang term for firearms is “tools.” When someone is caught “slippin’,” as was stated in my youth, the individual is discovered not to have a tool on one’s being, or to simply be caught off-guard. These days, the term often used is “lackin’.”

Given this background information, I now invite you to consider an example of how Gucci Mane purportedly didn’t have a tool on his person—in accordance with convicted felon laws, as he apparently got caught lackin’. For context, one source states:

Nine people, including rappers Pooh Shiesty and Big30, have been arrested in connection with a robbery and kidnapping plot of award-winning rapper Gucci Mane.

The Department of Justice [DoJ] said Thursday that the gang of nine kidnapped and robbed various victims, including Gucci Mane, 46, at gunpoint in a music studio in Dallas in early January.

Eight of the nine suspects were arrested Wednesday [4/1/2026] in Dallas, Memphis and Nashville, the agency said. […]

According to the DoJ document, Shiesty reportedly pulled out AK-style gun to force ‘one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract at gunpoint.’

The remaining members of the group then proceeded to rob the other victims at the meeting of their Rolex watches, jewelry, cash and other high-value items.

Shiesty has been signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 label since April 2020. 

The document alleges that one of the victims was choked close to the point of unconsciousness during the assault. Memphis rapper Big 30 then reportedly barricaded the door of the meeting room to prevent victims from escaping.

When reading this violent account, I’m of two minds. Remember, I’m a fallible human being. Thus, I’ll give my professional and personal views about the Gucci Mane ordeal. First, I begin with the response of a clinician (a person qualified in the clinical practice of psychotherapy).

When providing psychoeducational lessons on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), I teach people about the ABC model of self-disturbance (how people upset themselves through use of irrational beliefs). Now, I’ll address a finer point of this psychotherapeutic model of wellness.

For context, REBT uses the ABC model to illustrate how when an undesirable Action occurs and you Believe an unhelpful narrative about the event, it’s your unfavorable assumption, not the occurrence itself, that causes an unpleasant Consequence. That negative outcome is disturbance.

In particular, there are four predominate irrational beliefs which people often use to disturb themselves: global evaluations, low frustration tolerance, awfulizing, and demandingness. When contemplating these unproductive Beliefs, think of the acronym GLAD.

It’s worth noting that the two forms of should, must, and ought-type demands with which people most often self-disturb are associated with use of absolutistic and conditional should beliefs. Generally speaking, these serve as rigid commands used toward oneself, others, and life.

An absolute must narrative is, “You absolutely must do as I say!” A conditional should narrative is, “Either you should do as I say, or you should be punished!” Significantly, in REBT literature, demandingness of this sort is said to function as a primary appraisal mechanism of disturbance.

Global evaluations (i.e., self-downing, other-downing, and life-downing), low frustration tolerance (also known as frustration intolerance), and awfulizing (e.g., terrible, horrible, etc.) function as secondary appraisal mechanisms. Together, GLAD will make you sad or mad, etc.

Noteworthy, with my approach to care for mental, emotional, and behavioral health (collectively “mental health”), I invite people to consider mental scripts which are rational (in accordance with both logic and reason) – especially regarding events which correlate with strong feelings.

Logic is the interrelation or sequence of facts when seen as inevitable or predictable, and reason is a statement offered in explanation or justification. As such, I often use syllogisms (deductive schemes of formal argument consisting of a major and a minor premise and a conclusion).

Importantly, a syllogistic statement, proposition, or belief may be logical while simultaneously unreasonable. In this case, even though the logic consequentially follows (the conclusion is a necessary and inevitable result of previous facts or premises), it’s considered irrational.

While still functioning as prescriptive rather than descriptive, flexible use of recommendatory, preferential, ideal, empirical, moral and ethical, and legal ought beliefs won’t inevitably cause disturbance, as they may align with distress. Thus, rigidity versus flexibility makes a difference.

As well, a rigid form of irrational belief results in self-disturbance (e.g., rage) while a flexible form of rational belief results in self-distress (e.g., righteous indignation). Ergo, what one thinks, feels (i.e., emotions and sensations), and behaves reveals what type of beliefs are being used.

Addressing how people upset themselves with unhelpful attitudes, the ABC model incorporates Disputation of unproductive philosophies of life in order to explore Effective new beliefs. Whereas rigid beliefs cause self-disturbance, flexible beliefs result in an un-disturbed condition.

Remarkably, natural forms of distress are tolerable (e.g., mild anxiousness, sorrow, frustration, annoyance, disappointment, etc.). Even though unnatural forms of disturbance are also tolerable (e.g., enragement), my approach to REBT seeks the outcome which is more likely to be endured.

Now, I offer a finer point of understanding in regard to the ABC model. In particular, I invite you to consider use of a disjunctive syllogism—a conditional form (rational or irrational) that uses a disjunction with two alternatives (disjuncts), eliminating one, and forcing the conclusion.

Form –

Either p, or q; not p; therefore, q.

Example –

Major premise: Either you’ll practice REBT, or you’ll continue self-distressing or self-disturbing.

Minor premise: You won’t practice REBT.

Conclusion: Therefore, you’ll continue self-distressing or self-disturbing.

Presuming you comprehend how disjunctive syllogistic beliefs function, I now turn to the Gucci Mane ordeal. Keeping with a professional perspective, my flexible beliefs regarding the reported episode of violence is thus:

Either you’ll keep a tool (p), or you’ll get caught lackin’ (q). You won’t keep a tool (p). Therefore, you’ll get caught lackin’ (q).

Understandably, my unconventional perspective may be rejected by other clinicians or professional practitioners of REBT. After all, I imagine that some people may confuse ideal-world and real-world circumstances, advocating a no-firearms approach to living.

In consideration of Gucci Mane’s presumed disarmed status during which Pooh Shiesty and Big30 allegedly hit a lick, I argue that even if one advocates that people absolutely should live without firearms, other individuals clearly don’t abide by this infantilized view of life.

Following that naïve method of existing, as said by Fat Trel on “Trappin Like a Fool”, somebody will inevitably start “reachin’ for the weapons, and they clappin’ like a bitch.” Therefore, although I don’t give advice to clients, I also don’t discourage them from tool ownership.

Of course, I advocate legal gun ownership. Thus, I’m not encouraging my clients to violate applicable laws—regarding which, the Second Amendment’s clause about “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” is pretty straightforward. Yet, I digress.

Finalizing my professional view of the Gucci Mane ordeal, I get why he didn’t keep a tool and how it was that he apparently got caught lackin’. Unfortunately, there are other people in the world who will prey upon members of a disarmed populous. Now, I offer my personal view.

I make an attempt to daily practice both, or either, the ABC model and unconditional acceptance (UA). One reason for doing so is that I have an interest and goal to remain out of a box and above ground (i.e., to not become subject to incarceration and to stay alive).

Therefore, I frequently – and imperfectly (recall, I’m an imperfect human being!) – practice Stoicism which is intertwined with UA principles. Still, from a personal view of the Gucci Mane ordeal, I’ll reiterate what I said in People Have the Right to Self-Determination:

[I]f I’m in public and an individual unfavorably decides to commit a mass shooting while blocking my ingress to a facility or egress from the event, then it’ll be time to cue The Diplomats’ sample of Marvin Gaye’s song “Let’s Get It On”, because I control my index finger.

Personally, with little control and influence in life as is, I recognize that either I’ll keep a tool, or I’ll get caught lackin’. If I can help it, I won’t get caught slippin’. Therefore, being choked close to the point of unconsciousness, robbed, or being barricaded in a room is a bad option.

Thus, I got it on me! I ain’t goin’ out like Gucci Mane reportedly did, because tools will be clappin’ more than in a shake joint, ya dig? Understandably, not everyone wants to work with a clinician who maintains this personal perspective. For me, that’s not a problem at all!

I realize that my approach to REBT or life in general isn’t shared by all people. Nevertheless, I also maintain that I’ve seen no evidence for objective rationality or objective morality, so I can maintain my worldview while you can maintain yours.

Additionally, as stated in Gucci Mane’s freestyle on the Hood Affairs Ent. Gucci Mane - Trap-A-Holic DVD, which was sampled in Fat Trel’s “Trappin Like a Fool” to instead express, “I-I-I-I really don’t give a shit,” I’m unbothered by differing views. You live your way, I’ll live mine.

Alternatively, if you’re searching for a clinician that doesn’t retain a childish view of life—rigidly prescribing that no one should have guns, rather than advocating legal self-defense that I’ve supported herein—then perhaps you and I may be a proper fit for mental health services.
