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.
So did Jay-z, Wu-tang, Nas, Snoop, Dre and many other rap nerds album wise. It's hard to top certain albums.
They dropped more classics and all that but the first album was out of this world. Same with Jeezy, obviously not on that level but TM101/Trap or Die were next level albums.

He still dropped a lot of dope shyt after that, tried different things, different flows etc. I just feel like for the past years he's been mad lazy. That go in the studio and the shyt just comes effortlessly is not for everyone, even if it worked in the past, it might not work forever. Also the production has been boring on the last albums

where you guys download this album from?

I just googled it (with zip at the end) and found a site that had a link.

EP sounds dated and uninspired. I don't mind artist giving us their old stuff, but it just doesn't have that "it" anymore. And it shouldn't, he's in a different space in his life now

His voice just lacks the energy you feel in his old jawns. Dunno if that's an age thing or what but I was hype for the project but only liked one of the tracks for real.

ill just say, judging some comments here its clear alot of people havent listened to him consistently. he's a far better rapper and artist now than when he began. thing is, he isnt attempting introspective tracks or those w/ social commentary here. this is a project full of bangers. just like the last laugh--the last project he a shawty redd did toghether. this isnt quite as good but still solid.
