My ratings

1. The Real Is Back - 4.5/5. Dope intro. This is why I listen to Jeezy.
2. How U Want It - 3.75/5. Not bad but Jeezy can do better.
3. Skit
4. Win - 4.5/5. This is jammin'. Jeezy flow on point over this beat. Hook catchy too.
5. All the Money (feat. 211) - 3.75/5. This is tight but not as good as "Win" or "The Real Is Back" for example. 211 is dope!

6. Snow Go (feat. Slick Pulla) - 4/5. This rides. The hook is the best on the tape so far. All these beats is jammin'.
7. Broads (feat. Scrilla & Slick Pulla) - 3.75/5. This is decent. I got a corporate bitch! lol
8. Flexin' (feat. Fabolous & Yo Gotti) - 4.5/5. Fab's hook is catchy. Beat is ridin. Flexin! Jeezy & Gotti kill it 2.
9. Ballin' (feat. Lil Wayne) - 4.5/5. If you a Jeezy fan u been heard this. Pure banger. Hope they put the radio budget behind this and make it pop.
10. Rollin' (feat. Fabolous) - 4.5/5. A dope track made over the slept on instrumental of the bonus track on Rick Ross' "Ashes to Ashes" mixtape. A Lex Luger banger!

11. Slow Grind - 4/5. This beat is very different for Jeezy. This is a slow trap anthem right here. Fire for real.
12. Hoodstar (feat. Slick Pulla) - 3.75/5. Very energetic. Hook is decent. I prefer some of the other tracks to this one though.
13. Count It Up (feat. 2 Chainz AKA Tity Boi) - 4.5/5. Been out a while now. Straight fire.
14. Talk About It (feat. Boo & Scrilla) - 3.75/5. "She wanna give me some head, I say I'll take mine to go" lol. This is dope.
15. RUN DMC (Feat. Freddie Gibbs) - 4.5/5. Been wantin' 2 hear this collab. Wow, Gibbs kills this. Flow is really on point. I hope he doesn't get shelved.

16. Count it on the Floor - 3/5. Not sure who featured on this. It's alright but easily forgettable.
17. Four (feat. Alley Boy) - 3.75/5. Love Jeezy & Alley Boy collabs. This is straight. They're capable of better though.
18. I Ball, I Stunt (feat. Scrilla) - 4/5. This hook sounds awfully familiar. It's bangin' though. Straight fire.
19. Skit
20. Do It For You (feat. Freddie Gibbs) - 4/5. Freddie kills it again. Lil Lody shows some versatility with this beat. Very nice closer.

If you ain't feelin' this tape, don't ever bump Jeezy again (unless it's his old shit u dig). It's not gonna get any better than this really. I fuck with this tape.

im just about to download it, from your review it sounds like it worth a listen

Wow, Gibbs kills this. Flow is really on point. I hope he doesn't get shelved.

from what it sounds like hes still doing his thing on the side too, i read he has a colab album with Staik Selektah, plus his mixtape in a couple weeks, and his album on Jeezys label. i think were in for some real good music!

these were my favorites, this tape is a banger indeed but like Lunatic said you will only like it if you're a fan of Jeezy... nothing here but bangers for the whip and money/coke talk 

btw that "Rollin" track was produced by Lil Lody too

[SCREWFACE]

seriously dope

lil lody is on fire right now

aside for a small handfull of tracks this shit is trash.

jeezy might as well get into promoting something besides rap his best days at music are far behind him.


he needs to put al his energy into making gibbs blow up...that way he dont have to turn out anymore excruciating mixtape material his fans have to humor...when i look at the momentum he had when the recession came out and then his jealousy over gucci mane and ross and how that fizzled his own career out...its hard to feel sorry for this fuck.

[Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation)]

meeh, Jeezy aight but he tyrin as fuck.
who can dig thru a whole album or mixtape wit him back2back?

i will download this, but ill listen to 1 song every 3 days. thats enuff

XXL actually wrote an on-point review for once, I agree with pretty much the whole thing

[BiggBoogaBiff]

it was pretty decent.  ''win'' is that gangsta chit

[Lunatic]

when i look at the momentum he had when the recession came out and then his jealousy over gucci mane and ross and how that fizzled his own career out...its hard to feel sorry for this fuck.

I disagree.. TM101 & The Inspiration albums had way more momentum than The Recession.. I'd actually say The Recession is where he started to lose momentum (also his worst album in terms of sales)

^^

The Recession grew on me over time though, only liked a few songs when it first dropped

I just bumped this tape again today, really am feeling it at the moment especially ridin' around but I know in a few weeks I won't be playing it much after more music comes out lol

[Sir Petey]

recession was grown man music...he showed alot of growth on that thing.

i was loving it...then he came out with mix tape after mixtape of shawty redds greatest shits...that and the feuds with ross and gucci killed it for me.


jealousy is not an endearing quality in a rapper.

id attribute that more to the stae of the industry...trust me when i say that he went platinum in the hood.

I agree about the Ross beef, dumb move on Jeezy's part with that since Def Jam obviously favors one more than the other and its clear who's winning right now on the charts

Gucci was still dissing him for years though on mixtapes so I didn't blame him when he dissed him on "24, 23" in 2009

[Sir Petey]

the thing i didnt quite like was that he truced with gucci then talked more shit.


i think recession is jeezys sleeper gem
