you're 9 years younger than me. You see how that works? Jeezy is worse than the mcs generations before him and those after him are worse than him, and you can't convince someone that the Migos are trash even though you hear it yourself. The way you feel about the migos is the way I feel about Jeezy
Nah I get it. I still disagree about Jeezys skill level though.

i was a freshman or sophmore when 101 dropped and remember it getting played everywhere at school and around the bay. jeezy became a legend off 1 album :wow:

that was probably the peak of the hyphy movement so not too many rappers outside of the bay were getting played much but jeezy was one of them.

Last of a dying breed. The hype when guys like 50 and Jessy were prepping debuts after legendary mixtape runs was crazy. Something like that will never happen again
Waiting on Banks to go when they would all rap at the radio stations was :whew: .

Not a single one of these groups or labels can do that because their rapping styles don't translate to anyone without a hook attached to it.

You invited Migos to rap, them nikkas would be better off just jumping from hook to hook.

Id rather listen to a wack nikkas like Spider fukking Loc on a radio freestyle than them nikkas

It was Jeezy’s delivery and charisma that made his lyrics sound hot.

If Jeezy came out today, he would be looked as a good rapper compared to 2005 when hip hop still had heavyweights that were nice with their pens.

I never bought into Jeezy being wack….you gotta have some kind of talent/skills to create something special like 101 and no other album has sounded like it ever since.

This

Just basic creativity and cleverness, Jeezy is Rhakim compared to a nikka like NBA Young boy.

Them nikkas don't even fall in the category of rap imo. That's a whole different type of music.

I can honestly say, I've never heard a Young boy song id play in my own car. None of that shyt is good imo, not even for the style it represents.
