Jeezy hot as a firecracker for the rest of his life. Truly blessed to get off for that entire BMF case . Some other ppl too
He aint trying to implicate or get into no shyt .. thats why he married that Bay Area Paag and tried to go on .
He (his bodyguard) got a body in the bay too that he got off for . Idk who was in the right or wrong
This nikka is truly lucky , blessed or whatever you wanna call it ... but this what makes his raps so real and then its good to see him mature in the public eye and he reminds me of a lot of older brehs out here , I know personally , trying to mature and leave that life, along with its culture .. behind .
Witness: Young Jeezy received kilos of BMF coke
Young Jeezy gets caught up in the BMF trial :
" Testimony offered yesterday in the federal government’s cocaine-conspiracy case against alleged Black Mafia Family member Fleming “Ill” Daniels revealed a stunning allegation: According to a witness, Atlanta hip-hop superstar Jay “Young Jeezy” Jenkins received kilos of cocaine from BMF.
Jeezy has not been charged with a crime in relation to the allegation. When asked whether there is an open investigation into the rapper, Justice Department spokesman Patrick Crosby said he had no comment.
Scott Leemon, the New York-based lawyer who represented Jeezy on weapons charges out of Miami in 2006, told CL “obviously, I am not going to comment on anything. I will look into it.”
The allegation was raised in U.S. District Court in Atlanta this week by a BMF member named Ralph “Ralphie” Simms. Simms was indicted last year in a related federal drug case in L.A. He told the jury that in exchange for his truthful testimony in the case against Daniels, he hoped to receive a reduced sentence.
Simms testified that his job was to unload BMF’s cocaine from limos outfitted with secret compartments. He said he piled as many as 100 “bricks” of cocaine at a time inside the basement of one of BMF’s stash houses, an ultra-modern Buckhead mansion nicknamed “Space Mountain.” And he said that on one occasion, in the fall of 2004, he was ordered by high-ranking BMF members Chad “J-Bo” Brown and Martez “Tito” Byrth to set aside multi-kilo cocaine “shipments” for two customers. Simms said the customers picked up the coke from him at Space Mountain.
When asked by assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney who the customers were, Simms gave two names: William “Doc” Marshall, a high-level BMF co-conspirator who testified earlier in the trial, and “Jeezy.”
“Young Jeezy the rapper?” McBurney asked.
“Yes,” Simms answered.
Jeezy’s name cropped up several times in the first two days of testimony, but only in relation to his well-publicized friendship with BMF’s Atlanta-based leader, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory. In November, Flenory pleaded guilty in Detroit to running a continuing criminal enterprise. He faces a minimum sentence of 20 years.
BMF is believed to have employed 500 people across the country in its $270 million cocaine ring — nearly 150 of whom have been indicted in seven states. According to testimony in Daniels’ trial this week, BMF only dealt in multiple kilos of cocaine, which were distributed to other cocaine dealers.
Daniels, who was described during testimony as BMF’s third-in-command under Flenory, was indicted along with 15 co-defendants last year in Atlanta. (Daniels also faces a murder charge in Fulton County Superior Court.) He is the only local defendant to go to trial on the federal charges. Nine of his co-defendants, including the rapper Barima “Bleu DaVinci” McKnight, pleaded guilty over the past two weeks. Another four are fugitives.
Jury deliberations in the case against Daniels began today. (UPDATE: Young Jeezy arrested on unrelated charges; Daniels convicted] on one count.) "
The real authentic street culture died in 2004, and people that continued to push that paradigm released a lot of subpar and uninspired material that aged poorly. I'm talking about hood movies (straight to DVDs), mixtapes, fashion. Once Kanye West came out and showed the youth a better way, a lot of people moved on. The ones that didn't, became parodies of the sub culture years prior.
This somehow just seems like a slick shot at the south?
Authentic street culture happened to die around the time the south took over?
I think its safe to say technology put an end to alot of things. It made it harder to be a criminal and get away with it for long enough to become a kingpin. It also made it harder to lie about being a kingpin,since people who knew you could get online and tell the truth(or lie) about you. So there really wasnt going to be a mystery for long about your street resume. Or the truth would be so blurry you wouldnt bother yourself to see it as anything but entertainment. Which I actually think was a positive thing on the souths come up. Plus they didnt seem to take themselves as seriously as the west coast and east coast did.
Due to the fact they incorporated comedy and humor made the content more spoofish yet lighthearted. BUt I dont think thats really a shift in style. The west and south always had "spoofish" humorous rappers with gangster content. Maybe we just became to old to stop believiing in Santa,especially with the internet exposing Santas daily. But alot of good authentic street music,movements came out since 2004. Future,Plies,Drill rap, Sauce Walka TSF, Detroit hiphop.

Its the fact that Kanye West blew up and literally changed how young black folks go after music and could *finally* be themselves instead of some superthug parody that goes to jail often for being a "real nikka"
"Jewels From Jeezy: How $2 Million in Cash Ended Up on the Cover of 'TM 101'
All Jeezy had to do was make one phone call.
This weekend marks the 10 year anniversary of Young Jeezy's major label debut album, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. Back when it dropped in 2005, Jeezy was your "favorite trapper's favorite trapper" but also the Best Rapper Alive. But he wasn't a particularly gifted wordsmith so he relied on his uproarious voice, his clever references, but most importantly, the authenticity of his street talk.
But how real was it? Well, to hear Jeezy tell it, it was very real. Remember, Jeezy rose during the height of the Black Mafia Family. And he was well connected enough for BMF's head honcho, Big Meech, to drive from Atlanta to New York to personally appear in the video for Jeezy's "Soul Survivor." (It's also worth noting the "federal nightmares" Jeezy rapped about weren't far off: In 2005 many members of BMF were arrested and the organization was dismantled.)
Not only did his street connections show up in his music, they showed up on his album cover too. When we spoke with Jeezy to reflect on the making of TM 101, he told an anecdote about how he refused to do the photoshoot unless they had real money. Watch the clip above. "
They'd be part of the government. If you have no interest in anything other than power and control and are only loyal to whomever gives you that, then you're a perfect goon to a dictator.
They'd be living like kings in a place like Syria or Egypt because they'd be willing to say whatever their boss tells them to and kill whomever they're told to kill. Gangsta rappers that actually go to jail for their crimes are useful idiots to a power hungry dictator.
"nikkas always said that I wouldn't blow up
I touched rock bottom can't go but up
Left big cat and I signed back breezy Word on tha street that I don't like jeezy But f*ck that I'm tryna rape tha budget
Beat the murder rap.. change tha subject
Jumpin out tha plane with tha louieville luggage
Yellow diamonds same color as mustard "
When he explained it, it actually made sense. What he said was let the lawyer explain to them what happened. He said "first thing they say is you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be held against you.. So don't say anything they can use against you. Let your lawyer tell them what happened.."
