His last album is pretty solid. The beats are knockin and he does what he does best, flow to the beat talking about coke, cars, and money.
-
every mainstream rapper has talkin bout coke money and cars for the last 10 years, shits gettin old.
-
If it's old for you, don't listen to it.
I can't feel most underground rappers because most don't have swagger. You can rap your ass off but if I can't relate to you then off it goes.
-
Jeezy is cool..Both his albums are avg, I think he can do better
-
I gutta admit tho hes got a couple tunes that i just couldnt deny. but i dunno man, it seems pretty sad that u judge an artist on his "swagger."

its not so much the "swagger" but i think "energy" is a better word...fuck a rapper even if he gonna spit AMAZING BARS, in the most boring way possible (*cough Pappose cough*)
-
he's ok but fuck listening to a whole album,like a lotta dudes out, one track sounds like the last

yeah for an artist to be good, they gutta have it all. Flow, crazy metaphors, style, voice, and intelligent lyrics. I think thats all that it takes. Sure theres a couple songs out there that are dope that have the dumbest lyrics ever, but its got everything else, so its acceptable.

Yeah that's what I should of put. I've outgrown caring all about their lyrics and nothin else. Shit bangs, he flows good and has alright lyrics. Would rather listen to him then some washed up rapper.

You're damn right! Jeezys lyrics don't carry the tracks, it's the other way around. The Inspiration would make a fucking great instrumental LP but fuck it he doesn't ruin the tracks.
-
its all about entertainment..fuck gettin all intellectual about it 24/7...sometimes you just want to light a bleezy or crack a 40 and ride with a beat.

you're damn right! i still fuck with the classics but i can't be fucked with listening to the same bullshit 10 years later!

Yer his albums are just lacking that little something. I don't know what it is. I like his guest appearances most of the time.

Jeezy's the kinda rapper whose fans are people who are obsessed with two things: (1.) street cred, (2.) the rawness of his music. More raw = more "street", which is a lesson too many labels forget nowadays in their quest to push shit that's catchy and pop-oriented. That's why, every couple years when a rapper who seems ultra-gutta gets put on by a major label, the mainstream devours them thinking they've just found the definition of "what the hood's feelin". Problem is, it doesn't take long before said rapper becomes too visible and doesn't seem so street anymore, and then everyone ditches them and moves on.
Jeezy's that kinda nigga. He may be just about the most gutta rapper on a major label right now, but it sure as hell doesn't make his music better. So, I don't think he catches too much shit from anyone (certainly not the people who have pushed both of his last two albums to Platinum sales, which I really don't believe he deserved at all). Personally, I stick to UGK and T.I. for my "trap star" fix and at least hear the shit done well.

How raw is it to moan in every single one of your songs?
This nigga be doo doo.

Mainstream rap these days is all about "hustle" and "swagger" but where is the dope music :grumpy:
-

Totally agree. Being a great MC requires numerous qualities: lyrics, delivery, consistency, charisma, etc. What Jeezy lacks in unique lyricism, he makes up for in presence. His distinctive rasp - which definitely makes him stand out from a lot of his peers - often compliments the agressive productions he chooses too. Yup, dude may only rap about coke, but that's his lane and he owns it for sure.
Your point seems to be along the lines of the one I made in the DubCNN review of Jeezy's "The Inspiration." That writeup dropped around the same time the album did, but you can check it out here if you want: http://www.dubcnn.com/features/reviews/theinspiration/

i actually like his shit...
songs like "im the realest" are dope
-
Jeezy is an entertainer, not a rapper, let's git that str8 first. Second, rap isnt all about how many times u can rhyme "nigga" wit' different words and end it with a punchline. If u dont git it, dont buy it, let alone download it. Stick 2 that Talib Tweli album instead.
-
Young Jeezy's flow is just awful and he doesn't sound credible when rapping about cocain and guns. He's just another cheesy bling bling rapper.
-
If Jeezy was from L.A. dudes here would love him.
-
I wouldn't be hard on him if every song of his wasn't a brag fest. Production on both albums is sick though.
-
hes good in my books.

thenn u aint an official nigga then
-
I think Young Jeezy raps too much bullshit.
-
jeezy's stuff is not the type of shit i could listen to at home or whatever, but in the car on the way to the club, or in the club. His shit is good to me

So you can relate to coke, good for you! :raisetheroof:
