![]() ![]() ![]() 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: My love and appreciation for production has lead me to Jeezy. For example, I love The Runners and their new sound. 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). I like old school (L.O.N.S., EMPD, PE) but I love fresh production. When Jeezy first came out I could not stand him. treatment on "I Luv It"-but at the end of a long day of trappin' and playin' this is Jeezy's party. Friends help-something divine issues from the pipes of Keyshia Cole on "Dreamin,'" and DJ Toomp puts the T.I. And other rappers spit trademark phrases a la James Brown's "Good God!," but few as adroitly (Jeezy's "ha ha" sticks). Other rappers drip on the ATL drawl, but none as winningly (check the Timbaland-produced "3 A.M."). But what you lose in the way of crack-trade innocence you gain in a clear picture of why few rappers in the game get Jeeps to rattling as reliably: Jeezy-never mind the hopped-up hustler bluster-is a hugely magnetic figure, a ghetto go-getter capable not only of laying down the kind of loosey-goosey lyrics that make you want to clap him on the back for untangling street-wiseness from seriousness but of inspiring some kind of out-there superhero comic book series, too. Wander through the coke-lined lyrics of Young Jeezy's Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 and now The Inspiration, its keep-it-entirely-real follow-up, and you may never look at a snowman or a box of baking soda the same way again. ![]()
