If you watch this entire interview and then listen to the Jeezy album, the album will make a lot more sense to you. Trust me. The interview provides a lot more perspective
Yeah, I was going to say. Dude's were like "We want that old young back". In the interview he's like "Why I'm not going to grow, that's like I talk to you, then see you 10 years later and talk about the same thing while you moved on in life". I'm on the 4th track, Gold Bottles, it's got slaps. It's not that same Jeezy talking about straps, but honestly I'm glad he's approaching music differently with new things to write about. He's still talking about motivational stuff, but he's not out there like "I'm whipping the dope, hope we make it across the boarder", he's saying "even if I'm rich, I'm still going to get it, how can I not"
I just started on "Hell You Talkin Bout", this slap too. The production on point too. Lost Souls is nice too, people just ain't listening to what he's saying.
