Free Music Review: young Jeezy is a JOKE
Hit: 1 Stars
I got half way through the album and cut it off. This man cannot rap, his style would put you to sleep and his lyrics are basic like a fools brain. Dont waste your time with this garbage cd if you know what good for you cause if this guy thinks he the best thing out. HipHOP is dead cause of people like this guy.Free Music Review: He's Back

I made the comment that Jeezy was about to fall off when he kept doin commercial $#@! last year but this cd was the renewal. If this cd had sounded any other way it would have been over. The last bit of his commercial antics seemed to have left with his verse on that TI remix song. Lets hope so because Jeezy comin too real to be on some commercial $#@!.Free Music Review: not very good
Hit: 1 Stars

Hit: 4 Stars
Young Jeezy took a page out of T.I.P.'s book with this release. Basically he took everything that was great about his Def Jam debut and repeated & where possible improved on it. "Bury Me A G" sounds like a follow up to "Soul Survivor", "Mr 17.5" is a redo of "Go Crazy". Why fix it if it ain't broken, right?
Unfortunately that is what stops this album from being a classic. On his 1st album he had the surprise factor. Few thought he could deliver an album that hot although the Trap Or Die mixtape should have served as a warning. This time around the expectations are very high because he's shown that he can easily overcome his shortcomings (I'll let you fill this part in).
For the most part he delivers, although his a bit slow out the gate this time. "You know What It Is" is the true opener and it is classic Jeezy. "I Luv It" is hot but it does comes off a little too much like T.I.'s summer anthem (NO surprise since it is the same producer - The underrated DJ Toomp). "Go Getta" shows off R. Kelly's versatility as this is not a typical Kels track. "3 AM" is Timbaland reminding us that he is still hip-hop.
On the second half of the album Jeezy does try to give the album a more universal appeal by employing beats that are less 'southern bounce'. see "Dreamin", "The Inspiration (Follow Me)" & "Bury Me A G"
Recording 100 plus tracks for a CD has its advantages as there is very little of what you would call filler material. Even the opening track which is not hard hitting still has some appeal largely because of the chorus and the nice concept.
Speaking of choruses, there are a few missteps here, "J.E.E.Z.Y", "I Got Money" & "Still On It" all suffer from lame choruses but they are still hot tracks.
Lyrically Jeezy continues right where he left off on 101, he shows off a little more hunger on this CD and less swagger though. The humour is still there and the adlibs are placed strategically to let you know where the punchlines are 'ha haaa'. The theme of thug motivation is continued and it ties the album together quite nicely. He gets a bit more personal than we are used to on "Dreamin" but he never strays outside the trap.
In many ways this album is better than his last one, more polished, more hunger in the lyrics, more universal etc. However the content, although a bit deeper is still trapped in the trap. Jeezy should take a chance and let us in on where he currently is and not just relating his past life.
Free Music Review: It's Not That Bad....

I've read a lot of reviews on here and there are a lot of people hatin. I'm not Jeezy fan by a long shot, but I give props when its due. The Inspiration by Young Jeezy is a pretty good album. Jeezy is definitely not the best lyricist out there but with a combination of his production and his unique way of putting simple words together to make it sound catchy puts this album over the top. Just because he is from the South doesn't mean anything, its time to get over that and realize the south is where it's happenin. Maybe if the rappers from New York would stop rappin about the same thing they have been rappin about since 93' and update then the rap-game would expand from bein dominated by the south to just an east coast thing. People like Jim Jones realize that and are adapting and there-fore is getting positve results.
