He comes off kind of... tired?

It sound like jeezy jumped out the bed and recorded the whole album wearing pajamas.
Yeah and the beats not being that good dont help either, like they cool but its not Who Dat or Get Ya Mind Right level. I actually liked some songs off TM104 tho :patrice: maybe that shoulda really been his last shyt

Jeezy my favorite rapper but he's been declining since the recession

Fam, its not even that the music since then has been “bad”...the problem is that it all runs together. His first 3 albums are all very distinct from one another. After that though, nearly the same production and delivery on every single song and project.

Seriously...there is literally no difference between TM103, Seen It All, Church in the Streets, Trap or Die 3, Pressure, TM104, and this. You could randomly mix all the songs up from these albums and you wouldn’t be able to tell which songs belong on which album or what time period they were made in. It’s like he’s been in the same continuous studio session for the past 12 years with no variation. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this level of artistic stagnation from someone In game long as Jeezy.

Only Jeezy projects I’ve thoroughly enjoyed since Recession are probably Trappin Ain’t Dead and Trap or Die 2, and It’s Tha World

Great points.

Yeah, Jeezy's career is a very interesting case study.

He went from consistently making distinctive, high quality, creative music, to a consistent uninspired stagnant run.

He had some glimpses of his former self along the way after the recession (Fame, Trapped, I Do, Seen It All, Holy Ghost etc),

but everything started to dwindle down slowly

From someone who made such high caliber music early in his career, I wonder why the hell he would release light shyt like this?

Think about this shyt, we just had a entire project with Shawty Redd & Young Jeezy and they came out with light shyt like this?

I think Holy Ghost is literally the last time he dropped a high quality, distinctive song.

Since the majority of the Coli are Gucci stans. I'm gonna take alot of nikkas for a grain of salt and listen for myself

Y’all gotta stop making excuses for Jeezy. This EP and his last album were flat out bad. Pressure, TDO3, Gangsta Party, and Politically all had good amount of listenable bangers. These last two projects sound like a guy that should move on to another career.

He recorded this EP in two days so I am not going to be too critical on it. It was dope to me, especailly since it was cooked up very quickly. I feel like if the two actually do a full lenght project with a gameplan it could be something special.

As a huge Jeezy fan since day 1 this is probably his worst project yet. Even his weaker projects have some standout tracks. This has nothing worth revisiting :francis: very disappointing especially after TM 104 which I thought was a step in the right direction
