Ya boy Jay Jenkins done, done it again. Yowsers! Last year I wasnt expecting his first album to be any good. Really I thought it was going to be shit, period. But I copped it anyways just based off the second single “And Then What” and because it was the only album I knew at the time that would have some bass blasting in my car…you know…so I could see the sco downs butts jiggle when I ride past ’em. Turns out that this bald-headed, ninja turtle looking guy had some real talent. Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, has got to be one of the undeclared “classics” albums that have came out in a long time. I could actually listen to that cd all day long. It really does get better everytime I listen to it. Whats funny is I’ll never get tires of Jeezizzle’s ad-libs either (thhhattss rrriiiggghhhtt). He set the world on fire with Akon *nasal voice, konvict mmmmuuuzzzikkk* on “Sole Survivor” and became the unofficial King of New York, which is funny indeed since he’s from and resides in Georgia (notice I said the state not the city of Atlanta). All in all I knew the kid had a bright career as a rap star head of him, even is he considers himself a trapstar .
Recently I heard an advanced copy of his sophmore opus, “The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102″ and I’ve came to this conclusion: many rappers fail to have or start a catalougue of music that outdoes itself and have a long shelf life each time. Yes, ladies and gents JEEZY has indeed put out another album that is superior to an all ready superior first album. In a musical world of ” walk it outs, zooms, stuntin like peoples daddies, and folks show em what they got”, Young Zeezy has some how put out his version of Outkast classic second album “ATLiens”. This album a tad darker and more cinematic that the previous. He slowed the music down a bit, which aint that bad. He seems to have put himself in a small bracket of few artists who actually either brings out the best in a producer or selects only the hottest tracks. As Jay-Z managed to form an artistic connection with timbaland and Just Blaze, Jeezy does the same with “Let’s Get It” producer Shawty Redd. I’m telling you, the albums extremely hot tracks mostly come from this guy. Its amazing to hear their work. I tell you one thing, those ninjas should take a whole year and a half and concote a ten track album and maybe have DJ Toomp do a track, and this ninja will have an “ILLMATIC” on his hands, trust. Like I said the rest of the album his hott especially the one track he did with Timmy (I dont know how he got him to stray from putting out pop shit and give him some of that “Come and Get Me” type shit) titled 3 a.m.. For the ladies, there’s no “Tear it up” record with a Lloyd singing guy on here. The closest thing to a song like that would be the standout track “What you talkin bout” produced by Mr. Collipark which is more akin to And The What. Of course Don Cannon (*cue echo* Cannon, cannon, cannon!) had to give him some heat on Mr. 15.
Like I said the boy has a bright future ahead of him, his music his like whine, only for the true lover of it and the longer it exist the better it will become.
