Free Music Notes for The Recession
Free Music Review: Jeezy Delivers Another Classic for the Streets
Hit: 5 Stars
First off if you don't think Jeezy's Thug Motivation is a classic then I want some of what your smoking. Everywhere I go almost everyone I encounter, from like 15-30 years old, says it's their favorite CD and it definitely is one of mine. Why? Jeezy is real. He speaks for the streets, for the people who roll around smokin', for the people hustlin' to get by, and for the people who want to bang some fire music while rollin' round their hood. He never stops reppin' the streets and though he may not have the best vocabulary, his flow is grimy, its perfect for every beat he touches. So here we are with his third CD, The Recession. In one word: PERFECT. He could not have put out a better street-credited album than this one. The beats are raw, his flow is raw, and his lyrics are as real as they come and are much improved. Jeezy just doesn't give a **** and it's obvious. He's cocky, arrogant, and knows that the real "g's" out there are gonna feel him. The reason this CD is perfect is because its good for any situation. You can bang it in your car, chill out listen and dissect it, blast it in a club or at a party, or in any situation you deem fitting. No parents aren't gonna like it but almost everyone from his generation and after is. He doesn't put out albums for the critics, he puts them out for the streets. The critics are giving him 3 stars like on his first one but he doesn't care. He says it himself on Hustlaz Ambition, "It's Mr. Trap or Die, yeah y'all remember me; first album was a classic, them critics weren't feelin' me." Hate on Jeezy all you want but he put out a better album than Lil Wayne. I love Weezy and he may very well be the best ever, but his CD just doesn't ride like Jeezy's does. You can't really bang it in your car or play it a party. Wayne I think just tried to do too much, while Jeezy went back to what works. Like Jeezy himself said, The Recession is like Thug Motivation on steriods and it's real. I'm broke, I smoke blunts, I like to ride around my hood all G'd up, and I love rap music. There is no CD that has appealed to me and Urban America like this one, since Thug Motivation. Keep it up Jeezy, Weezy may be a better rapper in terms of talent and word play but Jeezy is a better rapper when it comes to streets. (Weezy has come close, though, on his Drought 3 mixtape which is a classic and might be able to approach this CD) One day, everyone will finally realize that Jeezy is one of the best to ever spit on the mic because he did it for the people not the critics. He's always improving and will go down in many people's minds, as well as mine, as one of the best when it's all said and done. Jeezy himself says it best, "Might not just be the best, just know I plan to be." Keep it up Jeezy, keep doing it for the streets, keep giving us what we want to hear, and let the haters keep hatin.
p.s. If you want to hear a great Jeezy song that addresses this subject very well see "I'm back" from his Can't Ban The Snowman mixtape; it's unbelievably real and lyrical, and he discusses his first album being a classic: "I shoulda got five mics in the Source; instead I got five bricks and a Porsche; they say I ain't lyrical; I wasn't tryna impress y'all n****s; If hatin' was a crime they'd arrest y'all n****s."
The Recession Poster
YOUNG JEEZY is the TRUTH! His story represents the struggle, pain, and pressure that anyone living in the hood deals with. It also gives you the inspiration and motivation to make it out, be successful, and achieve your goals. His motto is "If you can think it you can do it" Young Jeezy is one of the premier artists to emerge from Atlanta's ongoing "rap movement." Not only does he have high performance energy, but he is also a great story teller. He has the ability to bring color and flash to a story that has been told so many times before. He's a true digital age artist who doesn't need 16 bars to develop a picture in your head. He has also worked with artists such as Kanye West, Lil Jon, Usher, Young Buck, T.I., Trick Daddy, Akon, Mannie Fresh, Lil Scrappy, Bun B, Lloyd, Slick Pulla, & Lil Will and Mariah Carey. On his second album The Inspiration, the first single "I Luv It" peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. He also later released the album Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 which debuted at #2 selling 172,000 copies in its first week. He also loves to give back to the community and donate to charity events. He presented a toy drive for the first annual Toyz n da Hood toy drive which provided 1,000 toys for 1,000 kids in his home town of Atlanta. He also opened his home for those who needed shelter to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. He has received many awards and nominations such as the American Music Awards nominations for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip- Hop Album The Inspiration. BET Hip-Hop Awards nominations for Hip-Hop MPV of the Year and Hip-Hop CD of the Year for Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Awards include nominations for Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist - Male, Top Rap Album for Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, and Hot Rap Track for "Soul Survivor." He has won Dirty Awards for Most Bootlegged CD, Best New Dirty Artist, and Best Dirty Collaboration. He was also nominated for Dirty Boy of the Year, Dirty South Representative of the Year, and Dirty Song of the Year for "Soul Survivor". His Teen Choice Awards include nominations for Choice Music: Rap Artist. Vibe awards include nominations for Hottest Hook for "Soul Survivor."Pop Music CDs
