(121 Customer Reviews)
His hypnotic grunt-heavy flow and intense vocal presence has listeners by the throat from the album's opener, "Hypnotize," on which he hauntingly chants, "Now I command you n*ggas to get money." On the production side, the synthesizer-driven beats from Shawty Redd, Midnite Black, the Runners, Timbaland, and Mr. Collipark, among others, range from nightmarishly seething to upbeat and dreamy, always rising and falling in effectively dramatic arcs. Young Jeezy has put together another instant classic, consolidating his position at the top of the Dirty South.
Still soaring from the enormous success of his 2005 break-out album, LET'S GET IT: THUG MOTIVATION 101, Young Jeezy released a string of hot mixtapes before returning with the studio-album sequel,THE INSPIRATION: THUG MOTIVATION 102. With the usual powerfully grim vignettes of street life, all-consuming snowman paranoia, and trademark "yeaaaaahhh"s that litter the backgrounds of every track, Jeezy maintains and elevates the infectious style that made THUG MOTIVATION great.
Rolling Stone (p.114) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Atlanta rapper's flow is warm and distinctly Southern, with drawled rhymes delivered at a near-molasses pace." Spin (p.88) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Jeezy just shows up with the attitude, the ad-libs, and the punch lines, and lets it snow. Hell of a storm..." Entertainment Weekly (p.87) - "[I]t's the Atlanta MC's immense personality that truly inspires." -- Grade: B+ Vibe (pp.121-122) - "He makes staggeringly good albums....Staying on message has helped Jeezy become one of hip hop's great self-made myths." XXL (Magazine) (p.135) - "[Jeezy] showcases his knack for crafting commercial fare without forsaking his thugged-out mystique....[With] plenty of inspired material..."

| | Lil Scrappy Bred 2 Die, Born 2 Live CD (2006) Parental Advisory
The Inspiration
$16.15 Lil Scrappy was already a certified Dirty South superstar (having come up strong under the tutelage of Crunk virtuoso Lil Jon, and recorded alongside fellow Atlanta acts like Trillville) before he signed to 50 Cent's G-Unit South label. His first album for the budding sub-label, BRED 2 DIE BORN 2 LIVE, represents a maturation of sorts for Scrap. Lyrically he's in the same place he's always been, recounting street-hustle ...

| | Nas Hip Hop Is Dead CD (2006)
The Inspiration
$10.45 The title cut, with its pounding Iron Butterfly beat and nihilistic lyrics, is profoundly provocative. And while the long-awaited collaboration with Jay-Z on "Black Republicans" will inevitably draw attention, Nas shows he's best on his own--doing his Sam Spade impression in the hard-boiled detective story "Who Killed It"; producing an unapologetic swansong to his hood life in "Not Going Back"; and spitting introspective street poetry in "Can't Forget About You." Nas is past trying to relive his ILLMATIC glory--and that's ultimately the point--yet HIP HOP IS DEAD contains both the gutter ghetto anthems and gritty brilliance that made him a legend in the first place.
Title and all, Nas's eighth solo album clearly intends to spark controversy. But what gives Nasir Jones the right to ...
