Young Jeezy's Discography

Young Jeezy Discograpy

The Raekwon of the South has a very good discography. I”ll go through each album and rank them also….

Lets Get It: Thug Motivation 101:The album that solidified Jeezy as a true rap star. This was one of my favorite albums back in late 2005(that’s when I copped it). Jeezy raps slow and some of his punchlines are predictable. Also the album is tad bit too long. Complaints aside this is a really good album. Jeezy has an impressive guest list here: Jay-z, T.I., Bun B, and Trick Daddy, Lloyd, and Young Buck. The beats are also fairly impressive. Some songs are a little too similar but this is a great start to a career regardless.

Rank #3

The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102: This has got to be one of the most difficult albums I have ever reviewed. The first few songs are completely lacking in creativity. Then the album picks up with I Luv It, Go Getta, 3 AM….well it actually just goes up from there. This album has a different sound than TM101…and for the most part that’s a good thing. Jeezy’s guest list includes Keyshia Cole, R.Kelly, T.I(again)….this is a good album but its not his best. Some may say TM102 is superior to 101 and in some ways it is, but ultimately the lackluster beginning drags it down.

Rank #4

The Recession: Arguably Jeezy’s best album….I think it’s his best. For one Jeezy’s lyrical ability has progressed. He really doesn’t do that “slow as molasses” rap here. Also the beats are varied, yet they all seem to blend together really well to give you that cohesiveness that every great album has. The guest list is short also, but every spot is used very well. Kanye steals the show on Put On, while Nas joins Jeezy for the anthemic My President. There’s just so many great songs here, with only a few that don’t really stand out.

Rank #1

TM103: Thug Motivation 103: This isn’t a difficult album to review, but it is constructed a lot differently than Jeezy’s other albums. I suppose its more similar to his first album out of the previous 3. Jeezy holds his own on most songs, and he has a few songs dedicated to the ladies, but none are raunchy like Takin it There and Tear it Up from Recession and TM101 respectively. He is joined by T.I.(again), Jay-z(again), Andre 3000, Fabolous, Lil Wayne, Plies, Jadakiss, Jill Scott, and some others….Overall Jeezy is still a lyrical force to be reckoned with, but the beats are nothing special…but they are effective.

Rank #2

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20) Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19) Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”. 18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
