Jeezy has solid albums and solid mixtapes. TM 101 wasn't just an album, it was a fucking MOVEMENT!
Factz From AKT FACTS
Naw, mane. Trap Or Die had the streets AND clubs on lock before that. But TM101 still and forever will go hard as fuck!!!
I think The Recession is his best album ,but both of yell right about the movement of those albums
Factz From AKT Right
Wasnt a movement tm 101 MY LIFE AND IF THE HOOD WAS A BATTLE FIELD I EARNED STRIKES
"Seen It All" was a dope album. Didn't listen to his latest works though. 101 and Recession will forever be classics...
Mychal_ Corleone factz !! I fucc wit Trap or Die, my ultimate motivation cd!!
Jeezy vs Gucci in the south is like the hood equivalent of Marvel vs DC
JokerL1000 😁😁😁
This nigga 😂
Well marvel sucks so who is who
Lmao basically
Gucci Clone like The Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Don't sleep on The Recession
Timothy Dodd back away from the camera, ugly ass nigga
His best album if you ask me
Joe Budden is great at what he does. If he wasn't on this show the ppl who ask "why is Joe still here" wouldn't watch this show.
He is is intelligent and says what he thinks. When he calls Ak on bullshit it's funny.
Your comment aged well, you called it.
Tm103 is a classic imo. There's not one track that I'd skip, used to listen to that shit every day in 9th grade.
Big Ro trap or die 3 you heard that ?
To me thats his best album overall. It had sony many different type of bangers.
Big Ro TM101, The Recession, n TM103 are his best bodies of work...i will even go as far as say TM101 is undeniably a CLASSIC n (imo) The Recession, especially bc when it came out was perfect timing but that album could be considered a classic...might not be a unanimous choice but maybe close to a consensus choice...TM103 would be his 3rd best body of work (imo)....now Trap or Die 3 had its moments but it's not up there with those 3....this is just for his albums
#justMYthoughts
I'm in the 9th grade rn and I'm listening to the recession
Jeezy first album is the shit
Britney Spears the recession too
Britney's black out album is fire
What’s his first album I forgit
Really Wavy Let's Get It: Thug Motativion 101
Britney Spears trapstar is iconic
Jeezy got the most memorable Adlib of the rap game
HOOVER EVERYWHERE TM
Yeaaaah thasss right
"Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaa"
THAATTSSS RIGGHHTT
NLMB Ralph YEAHHhHhH
Both Jeezy and Gucci ad libs are all you hear now
Uncle Joe is right ..he is fighting the quiet storm..And I'm a fan of Jeezy..I get what Joe is saying
Christopher Magee every artist who came out in 04 05 is not quiet they just don’t put out music like the new artist and they, jeezy is for grown men who don’t sit on the internet all day and search lil pump and pop zans
I don’t think jeezy is relying on rap though! He owns a lot of property in Atlanta
Joe Hit it on the head. I’m a heavy jeezy fan he had 2 joints on his last album that’s bout it. I need that old jeezy back.
Way more than 2. Trap Or Die 3 was 🔥
JOE MADDOG jeezy is 40 years old... his music is never going to sound like Tm101
Lol Joe buddens wants Jeezy to throw on the snowman shirt and a averex coat. Might as well through on some evisu jeans too.
Plug Industries
Trap or Die
Jeezy is One of the Realest people you will EVER listen to! Its hard to listen to another album when he isnt in that same space anymore.
In Detroit we Fuck with snow
boss trap Meh I got dawgs who are related to Meech and T and who hate the nigga.
FastMoney Willie he owes the family money
FastMoney Willie if that’s the case, why lil Meech say on his IG that his pops n jeezy relationship still solid. He still looks out for meechs family. Y’all say y’all know ppl, I call bullshit on that
Joshua Ingram Meech nephew told me to my face Jeezy was a bitch way back in 2007 and that's cool.some niggas just good rappers bro
Tee Grizzly on his 1ST new single 🔥
I get what Joe is saying. I like Jeezy and he has some ridiculous albums & tapes under his belt, but his last 3 or 4 projects haven't been his best work. I think the last one I really liked was Seen It All back in 2014. This new tracklist has me interested though so I look forward to hearing it!
LUUUUKE
Trap or Die 3 and TM 103 ..you tripping.
Luke James what about trap or die
Plus it's his age. Cuz he can't make that kinda music he had back 04 05ish
its gonna be dope but snowman 3 was tight asf
Jeezy ain’t relative Bc he don’t be in the media ? Smh shit crazy
People don't understand that these guys grow up. Some of the wealthiest people in the world have never been on T.V...... The Media don't pay no bills. He is selling Tequila now. What he can make off an endorsement is prob equal to 5 years worth of "Clean" money from Shows and Albums. These guys see that to truly be wealthy you need more than 1 stream of income. People talk about Gucci, hell Migos is his second stream of income. And all he has to do is sit back and make a song every other week and do a few features a month. I been jamming these guys since 2005 and what I do know is that they are paying their bills!!!!
This comment turned out to be so true years later
Joe Budden is speaking the Truth...Jeezy for the 1st time in his Career is Cold out here...Not too many Hip Hop fans who listen to Street Music is checking for the New Music...I don't know why but the 2 New tracks he just put out I only listened to once.Jeezy has to drop a banger like "Seen It All" or a track like "I Do" he needs a big name feature to push this New Record and I think that's what Jeezy will do before December 15th when his Album drop.I see a Future or Jay Z feature coming
DJ AK and Joe Budden both have points neither one of them are wrong, but Joe Budden says what others are scared to say, he’s been in the game along time.
DJ Guzman yeah he says tough shit about people when they’re not in the room
I grew up on jeezy but joe is right after that last album I'm not excited and his relevance is fading
*Joe is pretty much like-**--"Say it witcho chest!...little ass nigga!---** to Ak* 😂
All i know is Jeezy goes on tour every year
Rashad Stewart wake flaka still goes on tour. Camron on tour. You can go on tour as long as you have a fan base. Won't be as pack as others but you can still. Jeezy hasn't been hot in a long time. His best shit was trap or die and TM101
Jeezy music is always quality. Brand wise he hasn't figured what is going to take him to the next level. Jeezy career is on a comfortable plateau....there is no ups or downs...just horizontal. For the record, Joe Budden had no career or credible businesses....PERIOD
I agree your comment but tryna understand why did you mention Joe Budden name are they beefing?
jaydueces jaydueces joe always has advice for others people and how to advance but he can't give advice when he isn't & never will be a hip hop influencer....basically he is a non factor of hip-hop
Mr247star son where you from?
Davonte Dobosu what's the point of saying or are you planning to make a point depending on my response? State your cause
frfr all Joe had was pump it up
Jeezy has multiple classics...regardless of comercial success his shit is a movement for the times we are in...straight motivational shit
Jeezy has not made a wack album ever.
really him Hopkins?
Ikr. Joe is wrong period
Ever!
FACTZ
That USDA album wasnt even a good weed plate
really him Hopkins? TM102 n Church In The Streets were most definitely close to 🚮
I believe Joe Budden is talking about DJ Mustard he hopped on that sound around I wanna say late 2013 and 2014
ExtraOrdinary MUSIC no he was talking about shawty redd
Jeezy has never gave us a bad album or mixtape. He's the jay-z if the south with a work ethic like Fab
Difference between Gucci and Jeezy is simple. Everytime I listen to Jeezy. I don't feel like I'm losing brain cells...
Really????
Damn
Joe b keeping it extra real
I think Nadeska should ride the BangBus #FACTZ
LMAO!!!! Imagine that....
Let’s talk wale’s fall off from being a top mc. Use to be my favorite rapper
Malik ali FACTS. His last classic besides Attention Deficit was TMAN. He lost me after that.
Malik ali From 2011-2013, that nigga was dropping hit after hit, it's a shame that he fell off
His problem was when he would constantly whine and complain on twitter
Top MC? That's funny. He was middle of the pack at best...so he ain't fall too far
Malik ali wale? Lol he just avg.
Jeezy killing shit
AK flipping all over the place about the subject
Gucci Mane - The Truth
#NeverForget
As a Jeezy fan, he's right. Niggas in Atlanta love Gucci more than Jeezy due to Jeezy not really rocking with the younger generation
As a Jeezy fan. Might give this one a shot but not confident. Church in these streets was his last good work. He seemed to progress, all the dope boy talk got old and that was a breathe of fresh air. Then he dropped trap or die 3. An album all about selling drugs and I was out. It wasn't authentic anymore. Hope this one is more grown and progress
Donte' S me too and I love Jeezy. Been rocking with music since come shop with me
Exactly
Trap or die 3 was needed to keep the underground/mixtape jeezy music alive
See what alot of cats dont realize is that Jeezy is basically the creator of the TRAP SOUND. People have either forgot or just dont want to give him that credit. He and Shawty Redd are the creators and originators of the Trap Sound. Jeezy birth a whole sub-genre and all of these cats using the trap genre in rap. There is no Metro, Lex Luger, 808 Mafia, Mike Will, Gucci, Ross or any other trap producer or rapper if it was for Jeezy and Shawty Redd thats fact....
Rodrigo4391 and Drumma Boy!
Rodrigo4391 #MajorKey
i disagree gucci invented the sound.. gucci mane came out b4 jeezy
#coming from the south
Gotta do your homework sweetheart. Jeezy first studio album dropped in 01, but didnt get noticed til he dropped The Streetz Iz Watchin mixtape in 04 and Trap or Die in Jan. 05. Gucci didnt drop til 05 with Trap house and the lead single got hot because ironically it had Jeezy on it who was the hottest dude in ATL at the time. Gotta do you homework, and im from Ga
You mean when Jeezy used to sound like Trick Daddy?
Jeezy is a legend let’s get that clear as a jeezy fan I have to keep it all the way real jeezy has definitely fell off
Tm101 :Classic
Inspiration :Classic
The recession : Classic
Tm103: Great album
Seen it all: Good
Church in the streets: flop
Trap or die 3: Good
To end this off that Ferrari snippet has me excited I’m looking forward to this
yusef21595 good assessment
yusef21595 and I'm A heavy Jeezy fan
Seen it all classic imo
@@Eightohh4tosevenfive7 same
Let's be fair tho. There are only a handful of artist that can drop more than 3 classic projects there entire career. Its impressive when an artist can still make good albums past their prime. That's why imma have to disagree with joe.
That new Jeezy "Bottles Up" is my ish right now, I dare not lie. On repeat..
People hate Joe cause he says shit no one's willing to say but he's real af
Joe was quiet as a mouse today while interviewing Jeezy Lol.
Joe Budden last album: 20.4k
Jeezy last album: 80k
Why is Joe even allowed to speak on someone’s relevance😂😂😂👎
Asahd that has nothing to do with the point being made
Because *YOU* commenting on his videos 😪
Asahd because he's a very talented lyricist in an era where people don't appreciate lyrics as much. Sales don't mean shit when you're talking about rappers, leave that shit for the pop stars.
In Joe's defense, his last album was independent.....Jeezy is still releasing under a major (Def Jam) so i would expect him to sell more, but i do feel Jeezy is on a downslide....still has great albums under his belt though
20k as an independent is good though.
The inspiration was Jeezy's best album
dark phantom335 and the recession, and the first
dark phantom335 TM 101 lol
dark phantom335 YOOOOO FR
dark phantom335 It was not as good as Motivation
I agree with Joe Budden 💯% on this one
Jeezy gave YG a lane. Don't forget. YG dropped 2 classic albums.
Ol Boy ? Lol
Fernando Alonso YG has really stayed true to the West, let's not play. Nothing Dj Quik, Kurupt, Warren G wouldn't approve or resonate with.
yg never dropped a classic
Karl Sylvain haha sure thing!
What classic. Lol gtfoh
You buggin if u believe jeezy got over on gucci with their beef gucci killed one of his affiliates n beat the case put most of atlanta on held down his career while being incarcerated i mean he had a mixtape out every other week all 🔥 came home n became a bigger artist with relevant n up to date hits on the charts at this moment n not takin nothin away from jeezy but he aint relevant no more
All good points
I always listen to everything Jeezy drop but his classic albums are his first and recession
Jeezy has never failed his fans.... ever he always sell good he drops classic after classic
Jeezy is the trap God
1cent if I had to rank his albums it's dead last... but it's not trash at all never settle is one of jeezy best songs ever too me the only bad songs was go crazy with French sexe was terrible that you know it song so what sucked too
1cent I'm listing to pressure now it's fresh forreal
1cent spyder hard as fuck it's actually pretty good on first impression I need another week with pressure but I'm loving this shit now
Budden is the most sane dude alive
1:43 look how fast ak's face changes lol 😂
You could literally see the confidence leave his body 🤣
"You aint neva seen them pies im talkin so much white itll hurt ya eyes... I really lived it man.. counted so much paper itll hurt ya hands". -Young Jeezy
Moral of the story: it's not insensitive to be honest and admit that a musician that you really respect is not as poppin as they were back in the day.
Joe is absolutely right because I don’t know what to expect from jeezy at this point
why does joe still work for complex
William Khanian why do you ask that?
Cuz he's such a bitch
When you look over the bitchassness, he actually made some good points
BC he keeps it real bitch
"Keeping it real" is not interrupting people during their time of talking on their own opinion. "Keeping it real" is not to be calling someone a pussy because of what they believe in for example in what state Jeezy is in, and not to mention he chose not to talk about this an stay out of the convo, yet he went back in to start attacking someone for something he's apparently not involved with.
Budden's the only reason I watch these. When people speak their mind and not care about who they piss off, that's entertaining.
Damn someone was highly upset at the end.
“You do not believe that Jeezy is fighting the quiet stORm?” 😂😂
Jeezy is better than Gucci! Gucci doesn’t have one good complete album to show for he just has good features. Jeezy dominated with his mixtapes and albums. Yeah, Gucci is relevant but when talking about overall body of work Jeezy is just much better!
isaac huerta facts
actually he has 1. "the State vs Radric Davis"
Isaac. H I was a strong Jeezy fan before Gucci but around 08 I switched up cuz Gucci came hard with all the mixtapes! Trap god 1 and 2 was 🔥
Joe Murked Ak on this conversation. This. Nigga really said that Jeezy and Gucci equally relevant ??? If Gucci drops its going crazy and might get 20 million views. Plus everybody he put on If Jeezy drop he doing a 1-2 million views to his fanbase.
Brooklyn youtube views aren't sales
But they r relevancy which leads to sales
Joe is right tho. I remember being in middle school and Thug motivation 101 came out. EVERYBODY was listening that shit. His next few albums were solid... but TM101 had everybody feeling like a trapper. Fans just wanna have that same excitement when it comes to his new project. Joe was speaking facts.
The Recession is classic too.
Joe: Jezzy is fighting a quiet storm
Me: uh... Halle Berry?
Joe Budden is real and a fucking genius
Joe made an excellent point on why Gucci is more relevant than Jeezy never thought about it that way . Gucci has helped Soo many artist it's ridiculous
Jeezy has YG. Checkmate.
1KAD yg not signed to Jeezy tho
Does it matter when clearly YG/Nipsey has the West Coast?
tyrus brown that’s a lie. YG is still signed to CTE World. Why you do you think both his albums have CTE Imprinted on them.
CeeMcCloud nigga no he not he signed with def jam or some other label he never signed wit Jeezy I remember YG sayin that shit in an interview
tyrus brown Wrong. Look it up.
Nedeska got fed up with Joe shit @ the beginning 😂😂💀
I gotta give Joe props for keeping it 100 on this. I have no idea what to expect but that tracklist looks nice.
Nedeska bout Ready to smack the shit outta Joe😳🤦🏾♂️😂🤷🏾♂️✌🏾
Joe really needs to up those bi-polar meds
I'M A SOUL SURVIVOR!!
YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!
You Are What You Eat everybody knownthe game dont stop
Jeezy right now is like Jordan with the Wizards. Always gonna be a legend, but falling off, missing dunks and shit. As a Jeezy fan I understand EXACTLY what Joe Budden means.
Nigga jeezy still one of the best in Atlanta.. Joe church in these streets is a raw album.. Seen it all is a hard album we ain't even talking bout jeezy tmz103 classic... Joe.. You can't sell out no concert.. Jeezy still doing this shit
Can't say I ever listened to Joe Budden's music but I respect him as an adult
Jeezy is the shit in Detroit so idk what this debate is about lol. My nigga was quiet before that TM103 but after that it’s be all flames 🔥
Yes and no he really act like he fuck with Detroit but we really show him more love than he do us I fuck wit Jeezy music but the trenches the "spots" as we use to call traps in thr D always had more love for Gucci that's just facts
Jared Franklin I know people in Meech family who hate Jeezy and sware he is a rat and nothing but a rapper.
The good thing is Jeezy still around and still making good music amazing artist💯
jeezy drops best albums and projects whole time. respect the legends
I loved this conversation. Both AK and joe are very intelligent
Brain Freeze Joe: I think he was talking about Lil Lody
Jeezy discography and mixtapes were the goat.
Joe actually made a really good point about Jeezy ! Sidebar: I don't think it's bad that Jeezy's been experimenting and evolving in his own time ! The man is human, ya know.
Jeezy is the truth
Deska with that look at the end tho... oooooh!
Jeezy got the hardest intros in the game
Buddens. Just said what the Fans have been feeling,honestly don't know what to expect from Jeezy's new project,still digesting the track with Puff .
The recession is one of his best works.... one of the best albums ever
bring gucci on the show
Props to Joe for speaking what he feel!!
that new single by jeezy bottles up is fire!
Drop the episode joe was on fireee!!!
Jeezy is one of the most consistent artists in the game and alot of relevant rappers dont sell as much as Jeezy with hella promo #Facts
Take this L
Reginald Austin u take it
@@FlameOn24 I can name 15 niggas more relevant than Jeezy Gucci being one of them
From a distance I used to think joe was trash but nah I was wrong. Every interview he’s on point with a dope perspective
he said he didn't want to talk names but brought up Gucci lmao
For the first time in my life I agreed with EVERYTHING THAT JOE SAID 🤦🏾♂️
Oh man, MuchDank is gonna have a lot of fun with this one.
Why AK always looking like, "...what the fuck is Joe talking about?"
40 seconds in, I see why this went down hill after Joe left 😭🤣
I'm one of the biggest jeezy fans. AK is right to a degree where we're loyal to jeez. His work is definitely different now, his last banging project was seen it all. Budden pin pointed it dot on, 100% accurate.
Jeezy Albums have been very solid
The reason Joe is so all over the place is because he's conflicted about being a media figure instead of a rapper. He's more known and has more of an impact as a fucking analyst and he hates himself for it. That's why he never speaks objectively or rationally, he still wishes he was a poppin rapper
Jeezy has nothing more to prove musically...he survived this rap shit for over 10 years...his body of work speaks for itself....
T.I, Gucci Mane, or Jeezy?
For me it's T.I > Jeezy > Gucci
All trap legends tho
