WTF is this? There's a rapper that actually named himself "Young Jeezy"? And people actually bought it? What is the hip-hop world coming to?
I would never listen to a rapper with a name like that. Could it be any more unoriginal? I'm sure his music is as dope as his name.
And the album title is actually worse.
