Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101

2005

Top 3-5 Songs: Soul Survivor, Go Crazy, Standing Ovation, Bottom of the Map

Album Score: Beats-4, Lyrics-3.2=3.6

Rapper Stats: Flow-74, Versatility-75, Relevancy-83

Rapper Rating: 77.3

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

2006

Top Songs-Go Getta, I Luv It, Bury Me a G, Dreamin, 3 A.M.

Album Score: Beats-4, Lyrics-3.4= 3.7

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.

2007-Non Album Year

Rapper Rating+1=81

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

The Recession

2008

Top Songs- Put On, Vacation, Crazy World, Welcome Back, My 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

RS: F-82, V-82 , R-83 , Critical Acclaim-70
RR: 79.3

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.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

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

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways. The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
