You know what city has a really nice MLK Blvd? Austin!įor the most part, MLK Boulevards tend to attract hustlers are there bigger hustlers in the world than Jeezy and Meek Mill? In “MLK BLVD,” the two rappers join forces for this grungy banger that has Jeezy rapping like Rick Ross, referencing Rick Ross, attacking Trump and Kanye, and most importantly, returning to his trap ways. However, what tells me this n***a might be back to his old form is his lyrical content - It revolves around moving weight, threatening foes, and overcoming major obstacles on the way to success. The instrumental that powers the song is on some “Reasonable Doubt” s**t, while the approach Jeezy raps with on his verses and the hook is cool, calm and collected. “1 Time” is as trill as it is old school-sounding. It’s almost like he was intent on speaking to nothing but dope dealers on this s**t. What I love about the song is that Jeezy focuses on giving us something catchy on the hook, but trill overall. In “Better Tell ‘Em,” Jeezy feels on himself more than a porn star, rapping about having big money, big bottles, and big guns over this explosive trap instrumental. In my opinion, they add that last bit of umph their respective songs need. In my opinion, it doesn’t get any realer than those two topics.īoth “Fake Love” and “4PLAY” feature phenomenal contributions by R&B singers (Queen Naija & Ty Dolla $ign). In “Fake Love,” Jeezy touches on the topic of navigating through a life that features plenty of fake ass individuals, and on “4 Play,” he touches on the topic of being the type of thug that a girl can appreciate. 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.
Jeezy’s “Lets Get It: Thug Motivation 101” is one of my favorite albums of all time.
