01/05/07 - Young Jeezy The Undeniable

hoodman · 01-05-2007, 02:25 PM

Better known for snow than flow, even he says he’s a trapper, not a rapper. But the Tony Robbins of hip-hop motivated thugs to the tune of some two million sold last time out. He’s back, just in time for winter, and even the snobbiest critics gotta admit: There’s something about Jeezy.

They call it Sprawl City, and with good reason. As big as it is and with as much land as it consumes in its ever-outward push—it’s the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the country, though its official city limits hold fewer than half a million residents—Atlanta is always one step away from the rural. Even in places like Bankhead, Midtown and East Point, side streets are green and houses nestle in among trunks and under boughs. Don’t let the backwoods feel fool you, though, because Atlanta is a hustler’s town. All kinds of hustlers. Until recently, the Black Mafia Family proclaimed their presence from the famous billboard on I-85. A certain Reverend King hustled the ultimate dream here. Sheeeit, even Coca-Cola, the biggest hustler of them all—who else could convince African children that they need to drink sugar water?—makes its home here.

So it’s in the town’s DNA, deep as the blues. And sometimes it crops up where you’re not even looking for it. Riding in the Range down Peachtree, for instance. Young Jeezy’s manager and consigliere, Coach K, is driving, with Cool and Dre in the backseat (they’re in town to mix down a track they produced for Jeezy’s upcoming album). It’s a Saturday night in the middle of So So Def Weekend. A couple of nights ago, Jeezy co-sponsored a $200,000 “strip-off” at an area club. Dre heard about the jump-off all the way out in the Midwest. “My nigga in St. Louis told me them niggas threw like a hundred thousand dollars cash in the air,” he tells Coach K. “They tryin’ to bring it back to the old guys that was doin’ it every Saturday night out here!”

“Yeah,” Coach K says, “them boys did it three times a week.”

“And it was over a hundred every time?”

“Maaaaan, they gon’ spend fifty at the bar.”

“Jesus Christ,” Dre says with a laugh.

And when the Range pulls onto one of those backwoods-looking side streets and then into the parking lot of Patchwerk Recording Studios, it’s no surprise to find Jeezy inside, dressed for the hustle. Black fitted, black tee, black shorts, black Chucks—pretty much how you would’ve found him back in the hand-to-hand days. He huddles with Cool and Dre, and snippets of conversation float out over the thumping sounds of the track. “To me,” says the familiar rasp, “a regular song ain’t good enough. These niggas comin’ up—it ain’t hard to get your music on these days. I’m gonna create my own lane.”

No time for parties tonight, Jeezy. You’re 80 tracks deep into The Inspiration. Focus, maaaan. Gotta be that way for your sophomore album. Especially when your freshman outing went plat-and-a-half in an age of barely gold, when your self-proclaimed movement sent shockwaves not only through the A, but through every trap in America—when the whole damn world is waiting to see what Da Snowman does next. You’re not a rapper, but you’re working harder than damn near any rapper out there. Hustle is as hustle does.
