“Trap Star” is a trumpet based song, and is one of the strongest tracks on the album. It utilizes the classic stomp, stomp, clap rhythm at parts, with a pretty catchy chorus. The tracks leading up to “And then What” is strong, honestly who didn’t like this track. Afterwards, “Standing Ovation” starts up with a synth-based instrumentals and the sound of an audience clapping while throughout the track Jeezy claims he is the trap. The title track (also opening track) has a stop and go motion, he says his verse then everything goes soft, with audio from a microwave in the background further explain why he is dubbed the snow man. Once the verse starts, Young Jeezy is already in the kitchen working two pots. The album opens with a piano melody and Jeezy going with a Soft “heeey”. The guest appearances include Mannie Fresh, Jay-Z, Trick Daddy, Young Buck, T.I., Lil Scrappy, Akon, and a few others. The instrumentals are mainly focused on the synths and bass thumps which actually give some of the tracks an epic feeling. They don’t call him the snowman for nothing. His lyrics are usually about the usual stuff money, drugs, alittle about girls, drugs, bling, and drugs. His lyricism is enough to label him above average lyricist. He actually pulls out the slow flow is pretty good most of the time. It usually has a slow “Yeaaaah” or an “Ayeeee!” and even a “Thaaats Riiight” accompanying his flow. The length of the album is about seventy-five minutes and it is littered with Jeezy’s slow raspy rapping. He shortly left that group to release this album. He was part of the rap quartet Boyz N Da Hood. He then got taken under the wing of Puff Daddy, who actually thinks he still got street cred. Prior to this major-label debut, he released two independent albums since 2001. This is Young Jeezy’s major-label debut, “Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101”. This is one of the albums I am going to put on. There’s a timeless quality to the project, one that keeps its influence from fading and each play as absorbed as the last.At times I just want to sit back and relax, listening to some slow hood-esque music. Listening to Let’s Get It: Thug Motiviation 101 isn’t nostalgic. Then Jeezy’s solo efforts like “My Hood,” “Bottom of the Map,” “Air Forces,” “Trap Star,” “Let’s Get It/Sky’s The Limit” - every song needs its own space. and Lil’ Scrappy on a Jazzy Pha beat, still shining from Black Album Jay Z, Akon’s first major feature. It’s insane: post-Cash Money Mannie Fresh, early solo Bun B, T.I. Urban Legend continued T.I.’s shoot-for-the-singles style in the best way, and Who Is Mike Jones? – a very underrated album – rose to #40 on the charts on the back of “Still Tippin’.” But both pale by comparison. The Massacre fell off and took 50 with it. I spent the second half of 2005 riding around in my buddy’s rundown 92 Chevy listening to TM101 over and over and have spent hours revisiting it since. 2005 saw 50 Cent’s The Massacre earn Billboard’s best-selling album, Urban Legend and Who Is Mike Jones? were 39 and 40 respectively, while Jeezy clocked in at 55. But TM101’s colossal boast is its replay value. Jeezy pulled a three-way combo, with a trap narrative, Shawty Redd’s now-signature trap sound, and a city-first, us-over-everyone attitude that Atlanta thrives on (cc: Freaknik). While describing Atlanta’s increasing dominance in an excellent write-up of Jeezy’s anniversary show, Rembret Brown points out that Atlanta artists held the top spot of Billboard Hot 100 for 42 of 52 weeks, a trend that abruptly ended in 2005 and left a mega-hit void brought on by Outkast, Usher, and Ludacris in years past.Ī clear cut through the stale fog crunk left on Atlanta’s charts was a narrative used by UGK, 8 Ball & MJG, and, for Atlanta, Dungeon Family, and a sound structured two years prior on T.I.’s Trap Muzik. It was familiar in that it was unmistakably coming out of Atlanta, a city that was becoming rap’s epicenter more and more by the week. If you were near a radio 10 years ago, you heard “Soul Survivor,” and you recognized the raspy drawl. The seminal work for the Atlanta rapper was honored with a sold-out anniversary concert and critic re-praise, forums reopened debates of its importance, and the aura of 2005 crept back in the room it built. Young Jeezy’s Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 turned a decade old in July.
