What You Talkin Bout'- More of a "Thug Motivation 101" track, but it's still legit. A different hook and instrumental would make this a classic.ġ2. Dreamin'- Despite Keyshia Cole this song fucking rocks. Maybe it's just the hook, the instrumental is too dramatic for my liking, the lyrics don't exactly grab your attention either. The Realest- I can picture a suburban high school kid riding to this song. but there's not much substance to this track.
Go Getta- The second single, the beat bumps, the R Kelly hook is hot. not necessarily a bad song but I've heard better.Ħ. I Luv It- You can tell why this was a single. J.E.E.Z.Y.- Shawty Redd produced this track too and it sounds a lot better than the two previous tracks. "They think I'm shallow but I think so deep/ Deep as the abyss/ So when you get a second take a look at my wrist/ Perfect.Ĥ. Shawty Redd produced almost all the great songs off TM 101. Hypnotize (Intro)- The perfect combination of Jeezy boasts, ad-libs, and Southern production. On a side note, this may be a longer review, because I have heard this album countless times:ġ. I believe Young Jeezy is the one thoroughly "mainstream" rapper who stands out from the heap of bullshit clouding the top of commercial rap. Even though the spares probably became mixtape fodder, you don't see Kanye throwing away instrumentals simply because their not album material. But Jeezy's work ethic sets him apart, most people have heard how he recorded over 100 songs for TM 102 and only chose 17 to make the album. which makes him seem like other southern rap kingpins (T.I. Jenkins releases about a mixtape a month, mixtapes not featuring him, just his face. What separates Jeezy from the rest of the pack is subtle, and something you probably would have never known about. which have gone down in history chronicling actual good Southern music.
and then he released "Thug Motivation 101" and 102. then he started featuring on Akon and company's tracks. I first heard of Jay Jenkins as Lil J, and paid very little mind to him. a decent album that is not worthy of Jeezy's name. I'm obviously not doing the reviews in chronlogical order, so "I'm feeling this cat" doesn't exactly pertain to "The Recession". Jeezy is the first southern rapper that I really could listen to, and "Hypnotize" has got more than 100 plays on my Zune.
I will admit I'm biased when it comes to Young Jeezy, this is the first album I ever bought.
