I never understood what was so hot bout this dude... From every album he dropped its like 2 or 3 songs that i fucc wit but I tell niggaz i dont like jeezy and they look at me like I said i dont like Biggie....All I hear is the same talk bout snowman and birds...then i hear those dumb ass ad libs "AAAAAA", "Damnnnnn"... He over glorifies hustling and then the shit he says I dont even believe he really hustled.....if your music is gonna lack substance at least be a crazy lyricist....I aint hating on the bull but I know niggaz round my way thats way nicer and its prolly nigga on AHH thats way nicer...I need someone to explain to me why I should be a fan of his music

Hype my nigga hype.

here's how it works.

Labels latch onto an artist, and they wanna make him a big star, so they figure out what will appeal to the masses. In Jeezy's case it was the "dope boy" imagery and the snow man thing. So what they did was the signed him, got (forced in some cases) credible artists to sing his praises, put him in every magazine on every radio show, and most of the fans (sheep really) will fall in line.

then comes the music. They know he has to be hot so they get the hottest artists out to sing his hooks, hottest producers to do his beats, and between a hook and a hot beat you can fill your mouth with marbles and say the pledge of allegiance and these fools won't give a what. nah mean.

thats how you build a successful artist

I'm an Illmatic/ Old School Wu stan and I get into Jeezy. I'm gonna tell you why.

Jeezy respects hip hop. Very few rappers put that raw emotion in their music that just tells the listener that he loves making music and putting his thoughts on a record. He combines this raw emotion with explosive beats, witty adlibs and a grimey voice that just sounds raw on record. If you listen to his lyrics, you can hear how he wants to be a respected hip hop artist and he gets offended when old heads say that his music is not hip hop. On top of that, he has shown growth through each of his albums and keeps getting better and better. He's not a complex lyricist and won't exite you with multisyllable rhymes and wordplay. But he has found an alternative means to create a unique sound and as a result, he has put together a string of three solid albums.

Listen to him closer and you will see what I'm talking about.

now when u say emotion i think of pac...when u say mic presence i think of big..... i think jeezy just says what people wanna hear as oppose to raw emotion
