Young Jeezy is hardly breaking new ground in rapping endlessly about the similarities between the trap game and the rap game. He joins a distinguished line of former 'caine slangers turned MC--Scarface, Jay-Z, the Clipse, Biggie, etc. However, despite the familiarity of Jeezy's topics, this Atlanta rapper has managed to make a bi-coastal splash through the strength of his mic presence and charisma. As the stand-out member of ATL's Boyz N Tha Hood, Jeezy has distinguished himself against the field of contemporary rappers. More rugged than the Game, though not as charming as Cam'ron, Jeezy's work-horse flow and lyrics are draped into evocative street-level realism. Though the Southern influence is obvious in many of the album's bounce and crunk-influenced beats, he shows an impressive diversity of sound selection including on his current street anthems for this summer like"Trap Star," "My Hood," and the sublimely melancholy "Go Crazy." -- Oliver Wang

I luv it.......2006-12-14

Jeezy's first album reminds me of his boss's fist Album. Jay's classic is hard to come close to, but Jeezy comes very close. From start to finish this album set's itself apart from a lot of music that came out that year. The beats fit his style of lyrics, and he holds his own on tracks with other artist. Sometimes the greatest rime is not the most complex, but the greatest rime is the most understandable. Jeezy is not just a rapper, Jeezy is a movement.

Top 10 Rap Album of 2005.......2006-10-26

Jeezy did a song called Over Here with Bun B and I kind of liked it, but once I heard Go Crazy...I went crazy. The opening is a thing of beauty, so much so Hip-hop radio stations use it for their segues. Jeezy sold me with My Hood. I'm not from the hood, but I just get it. I listen to this album when I'm cleaning the house or styling my hair before work. Good album, one of the best of 2005.

Something about this release.........2006-10-10

There's something oddly appealing in Young Jeezy's work. His lyrics are typical hustler fare, that's clear. His production is top-notch, but how many releases off of Def Jam have wack production? It's something about Jeezy's style that is audibly pleasing. So, excuse me if I try to decipher exactly what it is in this review, all while giving a rundown of the material at hand.

I'm a large fan of east coast hip-hop, and when it comes to subject matter, Jeezy appears to fit in with the first coast moreso than the second and third, even if it's not where he actually hails from. The majority of this album shows you exactly where Jeezy's Snowman alias comes from; it's about moving the white stuff. No, I don't mean the powdered sugar you sprinkle over your pancakes on Christmas morning, although it is something else with a powderary substance.

When it comes to hip-hop, although New York's my home for the music, I also find great comfort in good Southern albums. I'm actually quite affectionate of them; I understand that most of the south isn't full of profound lyricists, but they do the best with what God gave them. Houston's my number one spot for hot Southern artists, but Atlanta's a place I visit quite often; before Jeezy, for OutKast, Goodie Mobb, and T.I. It looks like I'll have to stop at Young Jeezy's during my time there now, too.

But what is it that seperates Jeezy from the rest of the gangstas today? What seperates him from the 50 Cents, Tony Yayos, Jim Jones, and Rick Rosses of hip-hop, and where does he succeed where these artists fail?

Personality. Charisma. Microphone presence. Things that rappers better than him lyrically don't always possess. He also has one hell of an ear for beats, and no matter how cheesy his continuous "Yeeeeeeeeeeeahs" and "Riiiiiiiiiiiights" may get, they contribute to the infectiousness of Jeezy's music.

This isn't a classic release. There are a few mishaps here and there on the album, and no matter how oddly charming Jeezy maybe, he can get on your nerves after a long period of time. Tracks that never get old(in my opinion) are cuts like "Soul Survivor," the title track, "Standing Ovation," "Trap Star," "And Then What," and "Go Crazy." This is Southern fried hip-hop with a heavy east coast influence. Jeezy isn't getting it crunk, and Jeezy isn't getting metaphysical; he's just rapping about what he knows, and that's enough to make this a quality release. Recommended to those with an open-mind.

Its alright.......2006-10-02

Standout tracks: STANDING OVATION, GANGSTA MUSIC, AND THEN WHAT, GO CRAZY, LAST OF A DYING BREED(trick daddy had the best verse of the song), BOTTOM OF THE MAP, BANG(T.I and Scrappy floor Jeezy on this one), DONT GET CAUGHT, SOUL SURVIVOR, TRAP OR DIE(Bun B shuts it down), TEAR IT UP(slick pulla made this song alright) and AIR FORCES(the beat is crazy). Filler: My hood(chopped up version of T.I's rubberband man), Trap star(even the beat is awful), Thug motivation 101, Thats how you feel etc. Bottom Line: Although I hate the Sauce I do have to agree with them on the point that Jeezy is not lyrical. He tends to use the same word to make a rhyme on every other song. If this much is so then why give him 3 stars? For the songs that I like on this album and the production is crazy(minus Trap star and My hood) and his punchlines and metaphors are hilarious. But alas he'll fall off soon. How long can you rap about coke and guns before it gets tired?

Terrible garbage........2006-09-04

Anyone ever see any of these rap "artists" perform live? They're the most boring, derivative "entertainers" in the world. They walk up and down the stage grabbing their crotch and YELL their lyrics. They go from talking on records to yelling on stage. Quite a stretch. All this is done with about thirty of their no-name friends prancing around stage with microphones saying "YEAH!" "UH-HUH!" "WHAT!" "THAT'S RIGHT!" "UH!" etc. Get real.

Meanwhile, the only "music" provided is a backing track cued by some dude backstage. It makes for the most dull, predictable "concert" you'll ever see.

I can't wait until all this nonsense just disappears. In a world of common sense, these idiots would still be flipping burgers at McDonald's.

Jeezy Represents Real Hip Hop.......2006-12-13

No wonder Jeezy got Jay's blessing, and a guest shot too! This album is a classic, if you don't have it by now; go buy it!

All Hype (2.5 Stars).......2006-03-09

Never underestimate the power of good hype. Good hype got Lil' Kim a 5 mic rating in The Source and good hype has people thinking Jeezy is more than a below average rapper. Don't believe the hype though, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 is simply a display of good production. The beats are the only thing that keeps this from being a certified drink coaster. I think the record execs out there know that no one listens to words anymore, otherwise the good people at Def Jam would've never let this record see the light of day. Even Jeezy would agree with me....just listen to "Gangsta Music" to hear what I'm talkin' about. Even on "Get Ya Mind Right" he says "I ain't gotta rap, I'ma do numbers..." Truer words have never been spoken. Honestly, if you look past the singles, a good 98% of this album is filler. The lyrics are elementary and his flow doesn't exist. So someone tell me, what's all the hype about? By the way, I'm not one of these people that hates southern or mainstream rap either.I really wanted to like this album, it just didn't happen. Hell, half the time he doesn't even rhyme on beat.

There are probably 3 or 4 songs on the album that are good (and when I say good, I mean the beat is bangin'.....there are no memorable lyrics on this album). Actually, the singles are the highlights of the album. "Go Crazy" is cool, but the remix with Jay Z is better. "Soul Survivor" features Akon and will definitely move some butts in the club. "And Then What" feat. Mannie Fresh is cool, but loses replay value after about a week. Also, "Trap Star" is another good song if you can get past the terrible hook. Once you get past the singles, all you have left is some gangster posturing (notice how I didn't call it rapping) over good/decent production. If you're looking for dope verses, look elsewhere. The best lines on the entire album come from Young Buck (and he only has one verse) on "Last Of A Dying Breed" despite its boring beat and mailed in verses from Jeezy and Trick Daddy.

I can't blame Jeezy for cashing in on good hype. It's the American way, after all. The fact is that the beats carry this album because the guy rapping sounds like he just got into rap a week ago. This album will easily go platinum, but that's the power of good hype. The people who actually respect rap music probably won't come within 10 feet of this album anyway. When it comes down to it, I can't recommend this album to anyone.

Standout Tracks: Go Crazy, Trap Star, And then What feat. Mannie Fresh, My Hood, Soul Survivor feat. Akon

JEEZY IS THE ISH!!.......2005-08-04

At first I was skeptical but i am glad I invested in the Jezzy CD. He is a very nice rapper. I personally enjoy the following songs in no particular order

* And Then What
* Tear It Up
* Last of A Dying Breed
*Soul Survivor
*Trap or Die

I think that success is in Jeezy's future. The buzz that he has right now is tremendous and I believe he will live up to the hype. This coming from an occassional rap listener.

CD is bangin, you can't go into any club in NC/SC without hearing Jeezy sooner or later. Whole cd is hot and puts the focus from TX back to GA.

Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper!.......2005-09-15

YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH! As a member of Boyz N da Hood, releasing his own solo debut album was a great career move. Young Jeezy's new album is on fire! With his own style and catchy lyrics, this guy has definitely stepped into the rap game very strong. From collaborating with several other heavy hitters in the industry such as; Mannie Fresh, T.I., Akon, just to name a few, Jeezy's new album was destined for success. The Snowman is all over the airways with hits such as "And Then What", "Soul Survivor", and "Air Forces". This album can be listened to anytime and anywhere, it's definitely a head banger. I highly recommend this CD to any one who loves rap music. The summer was hot, but the "Snowman" is here to stay.

THE #1 TRAPPER OF THE YEAR!!!!.......2005-09-15

Every song is a hit, this is one of the few cds i've ever owned that i listen to every song every time i pop in the cd. If u are from the south this is a must buy.
