Free Music Notes for The Inspiration
Free Music Review: I remember when dudes spit bars like they life was at risk!
Hit: 1 Stars
I never thought I would see the day when garbage rappers could actually get away with rhymin all of ten words. But Jessie has some how stuck around. This dude is proof that the majority of rap listeners got the brain capacity of gnats. You know what? I want all of you goofs to stay far away from Jeru, Gangstarr, KRS, MC Lyte,PM Dawn, Rakim, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Ras Kass, & EPMD just to name a few. Cuz seriously, I would be embarrassed if you liked those albums!Free Music Review: Jeezy From a Golden Era Perspective
Hit: 3 Stars
When Jeezy first came out I could not stand him. I like old school (L.O.N.S., EMPD, PE) but I love fresh production. To me the this era's MCs are dead, recycled and washed up, but the production in this era is extremely good (some people have trouble analyzing both separately). For example, I love The Runners and their new sound . My love and appreciation for production has lead me to Jeezy.
My favorite hip hop magazine is "Scratch" which is hip hop for a producer perspective (it got discontinued in Oct of 06; very disappointed ), interviewed Jeezy specifically about this album and he said the following:
"You know how Jeru the Damaja's first album sounds like Brooklyn? How 8ball & MJG sound like Memphis?"
Well Jeezy has a distinct unique sound for ATL (I love 8ball & MJG and have the same respect for them as I am finding with Jeezy). That is what I like about this album, Jeezy is different; I don't love his message or care for the same topics but when he raps, he does it in his unique way which I gotta respect.
So I was kinda impressed because my standards were low. The good parts are that the production is kicking and Jeezy has a distinct sound. The lows are that he is very one dimensional.

Now Jeezy was never a great rapper and his first album, Thug Motivation 101 showed that. When you listened past the kick a** production you would have found out that Jeezy would use the same word to make a rhyme throughout THE WHOLE ALBUM! On this album, he does less of that but for some peculiar reason the end result is 100x worse. The Good: I Luv It wasnt a bad first single and Go Getta(R Kelly) was a decent follow up single. 3AM with Timbaland is probably the best song on here plus that is the best beat that Timbaland has made in a long while. Mr 17.5 is okay but that is where it stops. The rest of this album is murder on the ears.
The Bad: Hypnotize was a horrible way to start off the album(plus why does he sound like he's saying hypmatize in the hook?)and that hook is suspect to say the least. Still On It, U Know What It Is are as horrible as Jeezy's rhymes were on those tracks. J.E.E.Z.Y. has the dumbest hook on the album("Jeezy likes to drink/Jeezy likes to smoke/Jeezy likes to mix arm and hammer with his coke/)plus the song its self is weak. He throws a weak jab at his corny archrival Gucci Womane on Streets On Lock and the track The Realest is laughable at best. The Ugly: Dreamin with Keyshia Cole is hands down the worst track on this album. Keyshia Cole's horrid singing+ Jeezy's weak rhymes+ corny beat= awful track. His wack homeboys USDA show on the horrible Keep It Gangsta. What You Talkin Bout is a certified snoozer and TI busts a rhyme that sounds like it was written by Jeezy on I Got Money. To make matters worse he closes off the album with a boring track called The Inspiration(Follow Me). Dishonorable Mention: Bury Me A G. Bottom Line: Young Jeezy's The Inspiration makes Thug Motivation look like Ready To Die. Jeezy rhymes got weaker than before, He sounds bored, the beats are horrendous and the guest appearances are just as weak. In short this album is one of 2006's worst releases period. Standout Tracks: I LUV IT, GO GETTA, 3.AM and MR 17.5.
Free Music Review: 4.5 stars actually, decent sophomore album but the first was better
Hit: 5 Stars
Let me just say that I've been a fan of Jeezy ever since I heard him on the first single from the "Boyz N Da Hood" album 2 years ago. After I heard that I got that album and fell in love with it. I had finally found some hardcore violent southern gangsta rap that didn't talk about hoes and money. It was dark, bloody, and violent. After I heard that one of thier members was coming out with a solo joint, I was psyched. I heard Jeezy's first single "And than What" and thought it was decent but lacked the appeal of "Dem Boyz". I got the album anyway and was impressed. I must be honest that this one doesn't live up to the first. However it is still a good CD. It's dark, grimy, and has a somewhat erie feeling to it. It's Trap Music at it's darkest. Jeezy isn't a great lyrcist, so if your looking for that go check out Young Dro, T.I, Lil Wayne, or Chamillionaire. This album has more ups and downs but it lacks the charm of the first and that's why it doesn't make my top 10 for last year.
