He need to go back to the hood. Literally go sleep in one of the homies basement for a month or so, walk to the corner store, smoke on the porch, so he can get some inspiration

He took charlamagne to his old hood and visited his infamous aunties house

Mannie Fresh discussed Jeezy’s complacency almost 10 years ago...

Home - BET UK

Aside from his work with Lil Wayne and Cash Money, Fresh had a major hand in the early success of Young Jeezy. Fresh produced Jizzle's breakthrough hit "And Then What" off the rapper’s 2005 debut Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101. The beatmaker said he'd like to work with Jeezy again, but the two of them haven't been able to see eye to eye.

“I think he’s a good artist, but it’s time for Jeezy to show growth. So, that’s kinda like where me and Jeezy bump heads at," he said. "And it’s supposed to be that, he’s supposed to have his opinion and I’m supposed to have my opinion, and we still can be friends and we still can hang out. But, basically what I see is – It’s like, if I present some songs to Jeezy, it’s not the songs that he’s looking for. He like, 'Dude, I want that sh** that’s like right now.' And I’m like, 'Dude, but if you hired me to do something,' and I’m telling you, I’m like, 'Hey bruh, I wanna give you what it sound like right now but it’s time for you to get on another train. You gotta show some growth.'"

Fresh said that despite the success of their original collaboration, there were people around Jeezy who were trying to prevent the two of them from working together.

"In all honesty, let me just tell you the situation," he said. "When 'And Then What' was made Jeezy already had a street appeal, but 'And Then What' put him on the national appeal. But then it was guys in the room going like, 'Some of that sh** that Mannie do is kinda corny, bruh. You a gangsta.' So when you hear that this is my six friends telling me, 'You don’t need to do another one with him, because that ain’t really what you represent.' And I’m like, 'Dude, that’s the song that everybody know. How you let somebody talk you out of [doing something else with me]?”

He bought that song from Bankrolls people, it wasnt his song originally.

Listening to this just made me wish it was Bankroll Fresh tape instead tbh he would have killed these beats.

of course Jeezy hasnt shown growth, hip hop was always a hustle to him he was never invested in the craft. He peaked on his first album.
