(Young) Jeezy's Discography

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seen it All:The Autobiography: This is one of the more balanced albums I’ve ever heard. The beats are simple, and Jeezy spits some really raw rhymes. There’s a decent sized guest list: The Game, Rick Ross, Jay-z, Boosie BadAzz, August Alsina, and Future. All the guets do a good job. Overall it’s a dope album, even if it’s very different from the first 3 albums.
A-

Church in these Streets: For his 6th album, Jeezy relied less on guests and got back to his old style…but he mixed that with his new faster rhyming style. There also aren’t many guests, just 2 to be exact; Janelle Monae and Monica. Both do an excellent job. The album’s songs sound very cohesive, maybe a little too cohesive. Either way you look at it, the album is proof Jeezy is a great rapper.

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...
