Young Jeezy had already experimented with themes of his compositions and entire albums. Thereby the album got a title Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition. By 2011 the rapper prepared the fourth long play, which is about to become a logical continuation of his first two records. In the year 2008 the musician surprised his fans greatly by issuing a highly political album The Recession, where he discovered what was going on in the USA and about his attitude towards the situation in the country in general. The alike title was chosen for a good reason, as soon as that record was a kind of a development of the first album’s ideas. Well, the rapper did not make his fans wait for a long time: in just a year he presented the second studio attempt, which was titled The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102. Rhymed stories, told with the accompaniment of a powerful beat were really enjoyed be listeners, who were looking for the continuation.

Within this album he spoke about drugs and about total rejection of that thing, and also about his life in general. Probably that was the defining moment in Young Jeezy’s career, because the official release of the long play titled Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 took place in 2005, and that was the studio work, which let the musician reach the new level. It is no wonder that the musician was noticed by representatives of major record companies, so pretty soon Young Jeezy signed his very first contract. That creation found its listeners in practically no time and they got another album two years later. Initially he was releasing his albums on the independent label, and the musician’s debut long play saw the light back in 2001. Album DescriptionAt the very beginning of a new century the hip-hop and rap stage welcomed its new member - Young Jeezy. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. Strange thing is, Jeezy should have worn out his welcome in the land of drug talk by now, and yet everything here feels fresh and inspired, perhaps validating the rapper's pre-release declaration that some lyrics are here because "the statute of limitations is over." Whatever the reason, Seen It All: The Autobiography shakes off all the challenges of Jeezy's lesser releases and finds new inspiration from the same old rap sheet.


"Beautiful" with Rick Ross and Game delivers "Bricks, they were beautiful, yeah, Mona Lis(a)/Streets introduced me to money, nice to meet" in such a grateful way they seem like Jeezy's beloved surrogate parents, while "No Tears" is an ambitious surprise where an Auto-Tuned Future croons the chorus while YJ rattles off his memories over what sounds like a Tears for Fears backing track. Rarely has this big baller come off as poignant, but his hard truths drive guest Jay-Z to offer the amazingly ironic admission that he used to "Park bricks in front of 560 State/Now the Nets a stone's throw from where I used to throw bricks", and suddenly the Don King-like dream of drug dealer to NBA owner is oh so real. "Seen It All" is the reflective flipside of "Me OK," where Cardo's exotic production and Jeezy's tale of no regrets and night sweats ("Not only got my fingers crossed, but I pray") add up to something equally vital. This evidence for the prosecution shows up here on the hooky thug cut called "Me OK," a Drumma Boy and Jeezy wonder where criminal-minded lyrics are packed tight into a singalong list of dirty deeds done dirt cheap ("Mister, if I'm talkin' you should listen, game is free, ok?/Got two whole ones and two half ones, mister that's three, ok?"). Stuck in prison on gun charges as this seventh studio album saw release, Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy - or now, just Jeezy - mentions he doesn't "eat, sleep, or shit" without his m-f'n pistol.
