LISTENING to Young Jeezy is an immersive experience. Not just because he plunges listeners into a world of crack-trade narratives and gun-busting threats and grim late-night parties where no one ever seems to relax. (Though he does that, and does it brilliantly.) But also because he finds musical ways to suck in his listeners. He gravitates toward slow tempos, so he can sink into the beats, and so listeners have no choice but to slow down and sink with him. And his constant ad-libs — “Yeeeah” and “Ha-haaa!” and “Thaaat’s riiiight” and all the rest — cleverly blur the line between sense and sound.
Last year, after an impressive run on the mixtape circuit, Young Jeezy released “Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101” (Island Def Jam), a major-label debut that felt like a momentous event. He sounded utterly untouchable when he growled, “You better call your crew, you gon’ need help/Whole car strapped, and I ain’t talking seat belts.” The album yielded a handful of hits, most notably “Soul Survivor,” a collaboration with Akon. Maybe more important, the album established Young Jeezy as one of hip-hop’s most unimpeachable stars: an Atlanta upstart not even narrow-minded New York listeners could deny; a pop hitmaker who still sounded great on mixtapes. And you can hear Young Jeezy’s influence in Rick Ross, the Miami rapper who clearly patterned his recent major-label debut after “Let’s Get It.” Now, barely a year later, Young Jeezy is gearing up for his second proper album. He has plenty of motivation: his friendly (so far) Atlanta rival T I. released an impressive CD, “King,” earlier this year. And his recent collaborations and mixtape contributions suggest he hasn’t lost a step; in “I Do This,” he rhymes, “S550, yeah, the brand-new Benz/Bought two the same color, I call ’em Siamese twins.” Now the only question is: Will his plan — to release the album on Halloween — hold firm? Young Jeezy may seem immovable, but major-label hip-hop release dates are anything but. SOURCE: HIT THE REP I'LL REP YOU BACK |
