I think tracks like 'Holy Ghost' and 'No Tears' and a lot the content throughout, shows a much more nuanced and stripped down Jeezy, losing some of the flossing and softer edges, and getting into the darker side of a hustlers psyche, even tracks like '4 Zones' have a haunting tone to them, 'The Inspiration' was great, and showed the first glimpses of Jeezy stepping up his craft, tracks like 'Dreamin' are the groundwork for this album.
Those songs were still very much anthems about hustling, much more glam and glitz.. and they sounded great, and are, but this is an artists progression, I mean it's jeezy and it's street, but thats what it is. This is past the bottles and booths and designer shyt, and into the near nihilism of a hustlers mind state.
