Free Music Notes for Cold Summer: The Authorized Mixtape
Free Music Review: Not good
Hit: 1 Stars
Disclaimer: I love Young Jeezy. I thought Thug Motivation 101 was one of the best rap albums in recent years. Slow, crispy southern beats, fresh rhymes, and the raw grit of a veteran. Thug Motivation 102 had better singles but was a less consistent effort overall. But I'd buy that album all over again just for "Still On It"-- ultimate driving jam.
This album, Cold Summer: The Official Mixtape by USDA, is just really bad. The first track ("Focus") has a good beat, but as with every Jeezy album, it more or less all goes downhill from there. Lazy beats. Repetitive subject matter (crack, rims, glocks... Jeezy made these themes seem fresh again but USDA can't). A rapper who sounds like he's constantly on the verge of tears. The list goes on and on.
Save your money and buy the first two Jeezy albums. Even after several years they are much fresher.
Cold Summer: The Authorized Mixtape Poster
The themes may be familiar, but the spirit is fresh: Working with his United Streets D-Boys of America crew, Young Jeezy finds his flow on Cold Summer and has no compunction about settling into it, even when that means his compadres Slick Pulla and Blood Raw get bumped to the side of the beat. From the hot, hooky "White Chick" (street code for cocaine, despite all the shout-outs to Christina Aguilera) to the bangin' second single "Corporate Thuggin'," this is Jeezy's baby--introspective, Jeez-ified joints like "I Keep Tellin' Myself" and "Live My Life" lay street life out for close inspection, and "Check" and "Focus" chug along to characteristically unstoppable choruses. Slick Pulla and Blood Raw step up most notably on "Get It Up" (Pulla) and "Respect the Shield" (Raw), and they give off an energy Jeezy clearly coasts on; overall, though, the title gets it right. Jeezy's doing the presenting here--he's a cool, capable leader in a unit whose players don't yet equal him, but probably will in the space of a few mixtapes. --Tammy La GorceRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
