The Recession and The Massacre

Jeezys best album. It didn’t have the impact TM101 did which is viewed objectively has a classic but god damn this album is great from beginning to end.

Same with The Massacre. The singles got overplayed but the music and songwriting is some of Fifs best m. Especially if you listened to a lot of g unit radio.

I thought “The Recession” was considered a classic. If not consider your sentiment seconded. Tied for my favorite Jeezy Album with TM 102.

I didnt expect the growth he showed on 102 so it was kind of a shock. I honestly thought 101 would be his ceiling, as far as concepts and rhymes. Pure winter album. The production was more cohesive, and its sound and organization was more cinematic than 101. Personal classic that I always feel gets overlooked. Never gets old, where 101 had the huge rollout and flashy singles, 102 equaled, and possibly surpassed it with depth and thoughtfulness.

I was completely shocked at how mature he was on “The recession”. When the album title was announced I thought it was going to be a whole bunch of “nikka I’m recession proof”, “couldn’t be you nikkas”, “caught your bytch in a bind” ass raps. The positivity and motivation he tried to offer, when most rappers, were shytting on their listeners is something I’ll always appreciate Jeezy for. He didn’t have to make this album the way he did. I know I’m not the only one who thought he would regress on this one. Not only did he vastly improve lyrically, the production may have been the best of the mid-ass late 2000’s. The album subtly rode trends, while dragging them forward, and somehow still bucking them. My favorite albums of 2008 were “Rising Down”, “Paper Trail”, Nas’ “Untitled”, “HNIC 2”, “The Renaissance”, “Theater of the Mind” and “Carter 3”. The only one that shocked me as much as “The Recession” was “Theater of the mind”. It felt like Luda finally put a cohesive album together that didn’t wander or fade. To me, Recession surpassed all of them.

One of the few categorized “Trap” artist to also be a conscious artist (Tip, like Luda is a standard lyricist at heart), in my eyes. I know the rhymes, bars, and syllables are kind of rudimentary but, like younger Boosie and Webbie, BG and Slim, those shyts cut deep when they hit.

 

[phrank kastle]

Maybe I’m just in agreement, but i thought some of these albums listed were widely considered classics lol

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Carter 1

Nah. This a classic. This the best in the series. Just straight raw rap. No conceptual shiit

[TheMailMan]

Good ones.

I gotta peep that sugawolf album . Heard it jams from a couple different people

 

[Chip Skylark]

Nas Untitled also

2008 all I listened to was Coldplay Viva La Vida, The Recession, and Untitled.

Minus we make the world go round. That album was perfect and many of the topics resonate today.



I just burnt my American flag
And sent three cracker Nazis to hell and I'm sad
Ugh, I'm loading tips in my Mag'
To send these redneck bigots some death in a bag
Choke him out with his confederate flag
I know these devils are mad
Little rap fans who live way out in safe suburbia
Would you stand with me, a United States murderer?

Man this song needs to be played to all these hip channels fantano, those two dweebs the heavy set one, professor dude etc






Who's the God of suckers and snitches, the economy
Lipstick from Marilyn Monroe
Blew a death kiss to Fidel Castro
He'd want me to spit this
Only the strong survive
Nas bear witness
The hypocrisy is all I can see
White cop acquitted for murder
Black cop cop a plea
That type of shyt make me stop and think
We in chronic need of a second look of the law books
And the whole race dichotomy
Too many rappers, athletes, and actors
But not enough nikkas in NASA
Who give you the latest dances, trends, and fashion
But when it comes to residuals, they look past us
Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us
Even in white tee's, blue jeans, and red bandannas

Untitled is a classic man

Scarface- The Fix


It didn’t really have any filler tracks tbh. Every track flowed smoothly plus it was Face who picked the producers and tracks.

It didn’t have a bunch of Rap-A-Lot nikkas on it like My Homies was.


13 tracks is short
