I was hopin you would bring this up. YG didn't even need Jeezy. Did Jeezy give YG a boost? Of course, but YG was already buzzin heavy, especially on the west and Midwest.
YG has/ had the rap games hottest producer in his back pocket. A producer that even Jeezy used for beats. YG and mustard already had shyt sewed up. Jeezy was just the icing on the cake.
It's kinda how jay z was takin credit for jeezys success when TM101 dropped. When in reality jay z didn't really do shyt but use his name to give Jeezy an extra boost.
Jeezy already had the streets on lock with come shop with me and the gangsta grillz tapes and the boyz in the hood buzz he had. Jay didn't deserve a pat on the back for jeezys success simply because he was president of def jam. The same thing holds true here with Jeezy and YG
I gotta at least give Jeezy credit for making YG take his raps more seriously and helping him with the flow becuz YG said as much that Jeezy helped with the rap side,and I could see the improvement on My Krazy Life....far as everything else I don't think he needed Jeezy to do what he did number wise,he coulda did that without him,but even with Mustards success I remember YG on crickets status in the mainstream before CTE,and Def Jam not payin him much mind....I think its safe to say they helped each other

....I just know the album far exceeded my expectations of what a YG album would sound like a couple years ago,i don't care how good Mustard is,the old YG consistently mailing it in definitely had potential to ruin those beats

...Freddie aint release no wack projects on CTE,he basically was in the same boat he's in now I think. He got great revies on BFK but nothing came from it,we gotta see whats gon come from Cocain Pinata...making good projects aint never really been his issue,i actually wish he woulda stuck around longer,CTE would be lookin pretty strong right now
I question exactly what Gibbs was doing while he was on the label or since he been in the industry,YG seem like he BEEN makin connects and networking.....Gibbs

,maybe he don't wanna play that game,but without having the movement a YG got nikkas aint gon come to you

.....hopefully he ready to play the game now
