Descripción (en inglés) :
Personnel: Laura Edwards, Trina Broussard (vocals); Peter Drew, Lora Cain, Frank Charlton, Chris Davies (spoken vocals); Miykal Snoody (keyboards); Larry McRary (drums).
<p>Audio Mixer: Leslie Brathwaite.
<p>On album number three, ATL icon Young Jeezy spreads his wings-- flirting with radio-friendly R&B-influenced tracks and soul-tinged nostalgia-- while maintaining the same intense feel with his trademark slow-rap delivery and crack-peddling subject matter. THE RECESSION largely relies on the same stable of producers who've been with Jeezy since LET'S GET IT-- Don Cannon, Midnight Black, Shawty Redd, Drumma Boy, and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Thus the overall production sound is consistent with his first two solo albums--cinematic and brooding, built on seething synthesizers and frantic drum kits--while a handful of R&B hooks push THE RECESSION closer to commercial appeal. For the most part though, Jeezy keeps it gangsta as he reworks 2Pac's "Ambitions as a Ridah" on "Hustlaz Ambition," sneers at his enemies on "By the Way," and revisits his crackspot origins on "Crazy World." The biggest departure is undoubtedly the album's closer, "My President"--that sees Jeezy, alongside Nas, pondering the possibilities of a black president.

- Jeezy is Underrated
Jeezy is an underrated rapper. His lyrics are pretty sweet. There is nothing on this track that can compare to lyrics from something like Soul Survivor, and a handful of tracks on this CD I can not get into... but the others are superb. Stuff like Don't You Know, By The Way, Amazin are songs I will always listen to when I'm in the gym. 1 personas de un total de 1 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- "WHY THEY KEEP SAYIN YEEAAH I DONT EVEN KNOW"
Young Jeezy is growing up. The young man who brought us the term `Trap or Die' and those ridiculous Snowman T-shirts is transforming right before our eyes into a respectable artist. He started off as a `thug rapper'. He followed that up with a more retrospective side. Some people thought he went soft, so he came back with "The Recession".
Jeezy is a throwback to the B-Boy days of the 80's and early 90's. You can see him chillin with Rakim or slamin' with Onyx. He has improved his lyrical content as on "Crazy World" which is about as real as a Channel 5 news report on why the hood is so messed up. "Who Dat" is a great hype song. If you listen to this song and don't start slam dancing then you don't have a pulse. NaS shows up for the political anthem "My President". "Put On" ft. Kanye West is excellent even though I wish the remix with Jay Z was on here. I also like "What They Want", "Don't Do It" & "Amazing". The album is kind of long and certain songs could have been left off. Like the regretful "Everything" ft Anthony Hamilton. And "Circulate" just doesn't fit. All the other songs aren't standouts but they flow nicely with the vibe of this CD.
Yes, Young Jeezy raps about guns and selling drugs but he's not bragging. The way he does it is reminiscent of the way Jay Z did on `Reasonable Doubt'. He's not promoting it. He's telling stories from the hood the way he sees it. No alternate persons. No made up Mafioso characters. Jeezy isn't trying to be someone else. He just wants to be himself.

- Takes Time to Get Used To
I personally am not a huge fan of Jeezy to begin with. But I figured well maybe since I like 'Put On' I'll like the rest of the CD. And I listened to it, and was like eh.. it's not a big deal. But it takes some time to get used to obviously. It is extremely repeative. Like the line in 'Put On' ..."Call that bitch my bodyguard, call that bitch your bodyguard? yeah that's my bodyguard." He does the same thing in another song, maybe more, but with different words. In 'My President,' he doesn't stay on topic, or make a point. Like the person said that rated the CD 1 star. Nas killed him on his own track, but is that much of a surprise? It's Nas. His verse made sense, but listening to the rest of the words, it's like what are you even trying to say? "My president is black, my lambo is blue, and I'd be goddamned if my rims ain't too"??? It's more about his life, or someones life. Not even trying to relate to the actual topic. No doubt it's a good song, but it defeats the purpose.
The songs somewhat sound the same, but that's usual from him.
My favorite song are...
Put On
Get Allot
By The Way
What They Want
Takin' It There (Mostly Trey Songz part)
Circulate
- Da Realest!
This is the most realest album yet, other than TM103. From the lyrics to the beats. Cop this, you won't be disappointed. 87/32!!! - Awesome
Had this CD before, however, someone stole it, I loved it so much, had to get it again. My favorite song is Take It There featuring Trey. |
