Review: Young Jeezy- Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition



Don't call it a comeback! Just like his other colleagues such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, T.I., and Eminem Jeezy was beginning to lose his touch in many of the fans' mind. But just like his other colleagues Jeezy came back harder than ever showing some new growth that his fans weren't ready for. In a way this is Jeezy's Recovery (pun not intended).

Variety is certainly a nice aspect of the album. Unlike his past albums, Jeezy has more than just coke laced street tracks. Tracks like F.A.M.E., Trapped, I Do spices the album up. Not to mention that said tracks have features on them with a diverse set of artists such as Jill Scott, and Andre 3000.

Of course there is still some of that same ole Jeezy that we love on the album. .38, Ballin, and other street anthems run across the album with well placed timing. They come hard and heavy as expected from Jeezy but still feel refreshing. Even Ballin which was released months prior was still great with the help of some retouching on the tracks by an engineer.

There is a story that can be found in the album. Leave You Alone, Everythang, and Trapped has the emotion and structure that takes the real to a whole new level. You can feel just truth in between each line.

Altogether the album is a great quality of work. It's different appeals and well put together tracks make the album stand out much more than some of it's commercial competitors. If you see the album in the store you should definitely pick it up but to each it's own. I give the album a solid 4 out of 5.
