Free Music Review: Jeezy is back with another tight album - maybe 4.5 stars
Hit: 4 Stars
While he is far from the best lyricist, Jeezy has his own style and delivery that makes him different (although the majority of the material is about husting coke and similar themes) and makes this a good album which I like better then his "Thug Motivation: 101" album. Over the last year the Snowman recorded over 100 songs for this album and put 16 on here (and it has a 2 song bonus disc which I don't see why they just couldn't put them on the regular CD). Of the 18 songs, guests are on only 3 rapping and 3 doin teh hook so you get a good deal of Jeezy. It has 1 classic, 2 almost classics songs, 6 ok ones and the other 9 are goood songs. Production is nice as well and mostly handled by southern producers. Shawty Redd does 3 songs, DJ Toomp & the Runners each do 2 songs and DJ Speedy, Three-6 Mafia, Midnite Black, Timbaland, Cannon, Drumma Boy, Cool & Dre, Justice League, Key Pushas, DJ Smurf, and Anthony Dent all do 1 song. I'd recommend coppin this one.

Free Music Review: Real Recognize Real
Hit: 4 Stars
Jeezy's been recognized as a representative of real hip hop after his debut album. This album solidifies it.
You will only hear of maybe two tracks through MTV or radio - but honestly the whole album is dope. Jeezy's flow over sick beats is a match made in heaven - and shouldn't be confused with any kind of one-hit wonder or short lived rap.
having said that, my favorite tracks are;
"U Know What It Is"
"Still On It"
"I Luv It"
"I Got Money" (featuring T.I.)
not many guest features on here - taking it back to the old school. T.I. and R. Kelly make appearances - and the copy I picked up at Best Buy has two exclusive tracks, featuring Three 6 Mafia.
This album has the feeling of a raw mixtape style release - not hyed much by any labels or promotion as far as I remember, I didn't know it was coming out until a week before it's release. The production is tight, and as he has consistently done; Jeezy delivers. Go buy this album!
Free Music Review: It is a Inspiration
Hit: 4 Stars
When I first poped this CD into the CD player. I was worried that it would not be a good look for Mr. 17.5. However, as the CD went on, the music got better and better. Jeezy finishes this CD at the Top of the Mountain looking over at the future of Hip-HOp. It is hard to do better than your first album, and these days it is as hard to out do your Mix Tape. Moreover, this CD is a compliment to his last Mix tape. It is not as good as his first album, but how many artist can say that their second albums were better than their first. Nas, Jay, and many others got their worst reviews on their second albums. If that is a judge of the future, then music is about to wittness a great MC take the crown of god MC. This album is good in that it seems to telling his story from his heart, rather than through the streets. His last album was what he has experianced in the street, but this album is from his heart, and yes, Atlanta is on his back. Music Review: 4.5/5.00 Good for what it is!Hit: 4 Stars I dont see why so many people dislike Jeezy. Either these people already hate Jeezy and his personality and/or these people like referring to themselves as "real hip hop fans." Well, I'm just a fan of music in general and I have to say that this album is pretty good, being what it is. Jeezy's whole shtick is rapping bout drugs and 'street life' with a swagger, and thats exactly what he does on the album. Although Jeezy's lyrics aren't that creative, at least he delivers them with style. At least Jeezy aint like MIMS or Chingy, whose songs get annoying within the first 10 seconds of listening. Also, the beats on the album are high quality and catchy, which combined with his okay lyrics make the CD above average. I recommend this album for people who likes uptempo beats and aren't too anal about lyrics. [PS, I didnt listen to Jeezy's previous album]
Free Music Review: Your Favorite Rapper's Favorite Rapper!
Hit: 4 Stars
No one has to make room for this artist; he is `bogarting' his way to the lime light. People who say he's overrated most likely either can't relate to or don't understand his music. He proves that with this album. If you liked Thug Motivation, you'll love The Inspiration.
Why 4 instead of 5? The topics that are mentioned in this album aren't very broad, which might be somewhat of a turn-off to certain people. He does have different types of tracks, this album is very similar to Thug Motivation except for different production and different lyrics. As far as I'm concerned, he's killing the rap scene whether you like it or not. The Billboard Charts don't lie. Motivation, Inspiration... what's next?
