(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.
B+

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.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Kanye West Albums Ranked (2026 Revision)

16) Vultures 2 (72)- It should be no surprise this album is the worst of the bunch. It just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time. The production is decent tho. “Bomb” features Yuno Miles and his daughters: North and Chicago West…..and it's really corny. “Husband” is just god awful. I don’t know what he was going for with that one! “Fried” is pretty dope tho….and you can see the potential of “530”. 15) Donda 2 (75) - I haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this one. It’s not that bad tho…in fact it’s kind of average. I really like “City of God” which features Alicia Keys and Five Foreign. Sure lyrically its not great but the production again isn’t bad. Ultimately I feel like this has little to do with the first Donda album…. 14) 808s and Heartbreak (83) - You may be shocked to see this still near the bottom of his discography. While I bumped the score up a little from last time, I still feel 808’s isn’t all that. I love “Heartless” as it’s probably the best song. “Love...
