Comments- Jeezy’s first album is a “cult favorite” of mine.
It has lots of good songs on it, but not much in terms of variety. However
Jeezy’s ad libs are good, and the guest list is great which includes Jay-z,
T.I., Trick Daddy,Bun B, and Akon. What stands out to me is that Jeezy can hold
his own on most tracks without a guest rapper.
The Inspiration: Thug
Motivation 102

Rapper Stats: Flow-78,V-77, R-85
Rapper Rating: 80
Comments- This album is a bit harder to review than TM101.
TM102 is better, even though it gets off to a bad start. The rest of the album
makes up for that. The beats are just as good, and Jeezy seems to be slightly
better lyrically. The Ad libs are still in effect.
His guests include Keyshia Cole, R.Kelly, T.I., and
Timbaland. Overall it’s a step in the right direction.

C-Jeezy remained pretty relevant in 2007. It was clear he
was a force in Rap.

President
Album Score: Beats-4.2 ,Lyrics-4= 4.1
R S: F-83, V-81, R-90
RR: 84.7
C- Jeezy came back hard on this album. It’s a great album
either way you look at it. Most notably is that Jeezy varies his flow on this
album, and he has more lyrical dexterity. He is rarely outshined on this album….maybe
only by Kanye West on 1 song but that’s about it. Guests also include Trey
Songz, Anothony Hamilton, and Nas.
2009-2010
Rapper Rating -2=
82.7
C-Only a 2 point deduction. Jeezy did have some guest spots
on Rihanna’s album…as well as some others. However he wasn’t all that relevant
as he was before.
TM 103: Hustlerz
Ambition
2011
Top Songs- I Do, Fame, Trapped, Leave You Alone, Lose My
Mind
Album Score: Beats-3.9, Lyrics-4= 3.95

C-TM103 is a pretty good album. I think it could have been
better. For one some songs don’t stand out that much, and there’s too many
guest spots. Overall it’s a good addition to Jeezy’s discography and I look
forward to another album from him. YEAA!
2012
RR-1=78.3
C-Jeezy wasn’t non
existant last year but you’ve got to think he could have been more relevant in
20 12.
Overall Album Score: 3.8
Non Album Year(s) Overall Score= 60.5
Rapper’s Overall Rating: 81.3
Final Rapper Comments: Young Jeezy is a dominant southern
rapper. His albums are all good, and he’s become a relevant and potent
lyricist. Unfortunately I think his best work may be behind him but time will
tell.
