That's pretty much what this album is a letdown. However, it's Jeezy, so it's gonna be a letdown. or maybe even a group like Clipse, this would've been a great song. If this beat might have reached someone such as T.I. "I Luv It" was the first single and is a prime example. He picks out some great beats, but cannot provide the great lyrics to go along with them.
He should just consider himself a rapper that way, when he's using grade-school rhyme patterns to get his message across, we can just call him a bad rapper instead of a bad role model.Īnyways, with that diatribe aside, this album is nothing new from Jeezy. So, in this case, he is trying to speak to the youth of hip-hop culture that selling drugs and carrying guns is the cool thing to do. Young Jeezy even proclaims not to be a rapper yet, he is a motivational speaker. The lows are that he is very one dimensional. The good parts are that the production is kicking and Jeezy has a distinct sound. So I was kinda impressed because my standards were low. That is what I like about this album, Jeezy is different I don't love his message or care for the same topics but when he raps, he does it in his unique way which I gotta respect. Well Jeezy has a distinct unique sound for ATL (I love 8ball & MJG and have the same respect for them as I am finding with Jeezy). "You know how Jeru the Damaja's first album sounds like Brooklyn? How 8ball & MJG sound like Memphis?" My favorite hip hop magazine is "Scratch" which is hip hop for a producer perspective (it got discontinued in Oct of 06 very disappointed ), interviewed Jeezy specifically about this album and he said the following: My love and appreciation for production has lead me to Jeezy. For example, I love The Runners and their new sound. To me the this era's MCs are dead, recycled and washed up, but the production in this era is extremely good (some people have trouble analyzing both separately). I like old school (L.O.N.S., EMPD, PE) but I love fresh production.
When Jeezy first came out I could not stand him. treatment on "I Luv It"-but at the end of a long day of trappin' and playin' this is Jeezy's party. Friends help-something divine issues from the pipes of Keyshia Cole on "Dreamin,'" and DJ Toomp puts the T.I. And other rappers spit trademark phrases a la James Brown's "Good God!," but few as adroitly (Jeezy's "ha ha" sticks). Other rappers drip on the ATL drawl, but none as winningly (check the Timbaland-produced "3 A.M."). But what you lose in the way of crack-trade innocence you gain in a clear picture of why few rappers in the game get Jeeps to rattling as reliably: Jeezy-never mind the hopped-up hustler bluster-is a hugely magnetic figure, a ghetto go-getter capable not only of laying down the kind of loosey-goosey lyrics that make you want to clap him on the back for untangling street-wiseness from seriousness but of inspiring some kind of out-there superhero comic book series, too. Wander through the coke-lined lyrics of Young Jeezy's Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 and now The Inspiration, its keep-it-entirely-real follow-up, and you may never look at a snowman or a box of baking soda the same way again.
