While “Fake Love” and “4PLAY” both sound like stereotypical commercial rap songs, they each have strong messages behind them. On the real, if it wasn’t for him, I would’ve went to sleep halfway through this joint… I think Rick Ross killed his verse on “’06!” In my opinion, he brought well-needed energy to the song through his animated delivery of his raps, and his bossed-up lyrics. While he never excites me all that much on the song, he does give you a few pointers that are worthy of being jotted down on your trill notepad. Over this beat, Jeezy talks about having quick trigger-fingers, bad b*tches, bricks and money using this raw/uneventful style of rapping. The beat attached to “’06” has a very slow pace to it, almost like it was made in molasses. I don’t like “’06” all that much, but since it features Jeezy and Ross, I’ma go ahead and put it as a top 5 song on this album (I’m paying homage to two rappers I think is on their last hurrah). Today, Jeezy decided to hang the mic up with “TM104: The Legend of The Snowman,” possibly ending what I believe is an underwhelming career with a bang. Unfortunately, since releasing it, he hasn’t been able to create any other timeless projects. The beats are very well produced and Jeezy’s flow is unique compared to a lot of the other MCs out there.Jeezy’s “Lets Get It: Thug Motivation 101” is one of my favorite albums of all time. Almost every 2 lines he has to throw in a “yeeeaah” or something else to that effect making the album seem very polished and less raw. Another flaw with the album is the use of over dubbing. If he would have cut out the five-six filler tracks, it would have made a bigger impact. The main flaw of this album is that it is seventy-five minute long with nineteen tracks. While the track is good on its own, it isn’t that worthy of an album closer. The beat changes from a keyboard to a scrunchy type section, then the beat drops for the chorus and a heavy synth picks up leaving you in an eerie place. It is basically stating that you couldn’t walk a mile in his Air forces. and Lil Scrappy which also has a nice nicely produced military-esque beat to it. The instrumental on this track is great it has an uplifting type atmosphere to it that you can hum to, it also induces slow head bobbing. “Trap Star” is a trumpet based song, and is one of the strongest tracks on the album. It utilizes the classic stomp, stomp, clap rhythm at parts, with a pretty catchy chorus. The tracks leading up to “And then What” is strong, honestly who didn’t like this track. Afterwards, “Standing Ovation” starts up with a synth-based instrumentals and the sound of an audience clapping while throughout the track Jeezy claims he is the trap. The title track (also opening track) has a stop and go motion, he says his verse then everything goes soft, with audio from a microwave in the background further explain why he is dubbed the snow man. Once the verse starts, Young Jeezy is already in the kitchen working two pots. The album opens with a piano melody and Jeezy going with a Soft “heeey”. The guest appearances include Mannie Fresh, Jay-Z, Trick Daddy, Young Buck, T.I., Lil Scrappy, Akon, and a few others. The instrumentals are mainly focused on the synths and bass thumps which actually give some of the tracks an epic feeling. They don’t call him the snowman for nothing. His lyrics are usually about the usual stuff money, drugs, alittle about girls, drugs, bling, and drugs. His lyricism is enough to label him above average lyricist. He actually pulls out the slow flow is pretty good most of the time. It usually has a slow “Yeaaaah” or an “Ayeeee!” and even a “Thaaats Riiight” accompanying his flow. The length of the album is about seventy-five minutes and it is littered with Jeezy’s slow raspy rapping. He shortly left that group to release this album. He was part of the rap quartet Boyz N Da Hood. He then got taken under the wing of Puff Daddy, who actually thinks he still got street cred. Prior to this major-label debut, he released two independent albums since 2001. This is Young Jeezy’s major-label debut, “Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101”. This is one of the albums I am going to put on. At times I just want to sit back and relax, listening to some slow hood-esque music.
