He wasn't really in the industry before that though. I know he released Come Shop With Me independently but when he got the BMF stimulus package them nikkas was all about letting people know they hustled with street money. Not that much of a stretch to me that Jeezy didnt know the right way to move and probably assumed thats the way it was done. I mean T.I. released Trap Muzik a few years before Trap or Die and 101 so he probably was under the impression thats the same way he was doing itI never said they never warned him. I'm just saying when T.I said, "you can't be a street nikka and a rapper at the same", and Jeezy responds "Ain't that what you doing"
I believe Jeezy is street smart, his been in the industry for a few years before the BMF stimulus package, so him not knowing not to separate the music and street shyt doesn't sound believable.
