His prominence has come hard and fast (and not without a fair share of controversy), but in truth, he has been active in the underground since the mid-'90s. Boyz N da Hood hit the Top Five the week it was released, and Young Jeezy - the group's most visible member - wound up releasing Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 only a month later. Also note the jeah's at the end of nearly every sentence, something MC Eiht was doing about 15 years ago.A sequence of events juggled the release dates for Boyz N da Hood's first album (issued on Bad Boy) and Young Jeezy's own widely distributed breakout (issued on Def Jam). I'll leave you with the words of Jeezy himself, on Sky's The Limit watch how this genius rhymes opportunist with opportunist, and John Madden with John Madden, all in the space of a few bars. A catchy hook by an R&B singer and a club beat combined with earlier said reputation is enough to ensure sales now, a damn shame. I'm only 22 but already I sound like an old man, I long for a return to the early to mid nineties, when talent and subject matter actually mattered. I have heard enough of Jeezy to know that he is s**t, he raps slower than most people speak, his songs all revolve around the fact that he used to sling caine and his rhymes are weak as hell. It seems all you need in the rap game these days is to either have been shot, or have sold coke and with the right promotion you can become a millionaire. I mean seriously Jeezy is a borderline retard, how can someone with such an obvious lack of talent shift millions of albums. Thanks to underground testimonials like 'Airforces', 'So Icey', and 'Trap or Die' Jeezy's confidence and authentic style has quickly made believers out of some the biggest players in the game. With Atlanta serving up some of the hottest product in the rap game, native son Young Jeezy stands as one of the most exciting merchants of cool to emerge in years. No matter what is being supplied, a hustler is only as good as his word. 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 Product Description 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.

As the stand-out member of ATL's Boyz N Tha Hood, Jeezy has distinguished himself against the field of contemporary rappers.

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. He joins a distinguished line of former 'caine slangers turned MC-Scarface, Jay-Z, the Clipse, Biggie, etc. Young Jeezy is hardly breaking new ground in rapping endlessly about the similarities between the trap game and the rap game.
