Jeezy's full of isht...

Hey family....

I am sorry, I have a mini rant on everyone's favorite hood godson, Young Jeezy. While I acknowledge that most rappers have a thread of hypocrisy in their lifestyles and music, I just couldn't get over the most glaringly, self righteous piece of bullshucks that this album is comprised of.

Young Jeezy's newest LP is called "The Recession." Correct? Correct. In his interviews, he has gone on record numerous times exclaiming that the "coke prices have dried up", "the streets are hungry", and people's situations are really kcufed up. Okay, you want to play ghetto CNN, cool. You want to play the hood's voice, great!

BUT....

Not only a moment later, on the same album entitled "The Recession", does he go on to sing about how "blue is Lambo is" and "it's rims better be blue too." (My President's Black). If you are the hood representative, the hood savior and so on, to toss ones wealth in the face of the downtrodden is quite shameful. And please don't give me that "Well, when I do good, the hood does well." Negro please... Enough with the fake foundations, turkey give outs, and etc. I'd rather you talk about how rich you are and coke sales than pose as this servant of the people.

One...

"My president is black, my Lambo's blue/And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too/My money's light green and my Jordans light grey/And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?" - Young Jeezy
