Artist: Young Jeezy
Album: The Inspiration: Thug Motivation:102
Label: CTE/ Def Jam
Review by: Jay Carter
“Critics say that I cant make one better then my first one/ How I feel
that will probably be my worst one/ and everyone after that will be better then
the last/ so real talk yall could kiss my ass” -Young Jeezy (from the
“Can’t Ban The Snowman” DJ Drama mixtape).
And it seems as though the fan’s agreed with Young Jezzy
with his album debuting at #1 on the Billboard charts, and selling 352,392 in
its first week. On this album Young Jezzy showcases some of his best work yet
with songs like “Dreamin” featuring Keyshia Cole
(produced by The Runners),”Bury Me A G”(produced
by Justice League), and the first single “I Luv It”
where DJ Toomp produces an automatic street anthem over Jeezy
catchy lyrics. Super producer Timbaland gets together with
Young Jeezy on “3 A.M.” and the king of R&B R.Kelly
fits perfectly on “Go Getta” produced by The Runners is a sure hit
single. I think that Young Jeezy made a great follow up album which is very
hard to do especially when your first album is talked about being a classic,
only a few artist can do that for example most recently was 50 Cent with his
first album “Get Rich Or Die Tryin” to his second album “The
Massacre”. Other honorable mention songs on the album are “Streets
On Lock”, I Got Money” featuring T.I., and “What
You Talkin Bout” produced by Mr. Collipark.
