Six years since the release of his RIAA platinum seminal classic debut album, TM 101 (aka Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, on July 26, 2005), rap superstar, trap hero and CTE/Def Jam recording artist Jeezy today announces the scheduled September 20, 2011 release of his long-awaited fourth album, TM 103.

The most anticipated street album of the year, TM 103 contains the street ... Read more in Amazon's Young Jeezy Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Wander through the coke-lined lyrics of Young Jeezy's Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 and now The Inspiration, its keep-it-entirely-real follow-up, and you may never look at a snowman or a box of baking soda the same way again. But what you lose in the way of crack-trade innocence you gain in a clear picture of why few rappers in the game get Jeeps to rattling as reliably: Jeezy--never mind the hopped-up hustler bluster--is a hugely magnetic figure, a ghetto go-getter capable not only of laying down the kind of loosey-goosey lyrics that make you want to clap him on the back for untangling street-wiseness from seriousness but of inspiring some kind of out-there superhero comic book series, too. Other rappers drip on the ATL drawl, but none as winningly (check the Timbaland-produced "3 A.M."). And other rappers spit trademark phrases a la James Brown's "Good God!," but few as adroitly (Jeezy's "ha ha" sticks). Friends help--something divine issues from the pipes of Keyshia Cole on "Dreamin,'" and DJ Toomp puts the T.I. treatment on "I Luv It"--but at the end of a long day of trappin' and playin' this is Jeezy's party. --Tammy La Gorce

Product Description

A year after his smash hit debut Thug Motivation 101, Young Jeezy takes it to the next level with The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102. Executive-produced by Jay-Z, with additional input from Slick Pulla and Blood Raw. With monster tracks from DJ Toomp - on the smash 'I Luv It' - Timbaland, the Runnerz and more, Jeezy's still got both feet firmly in the Trap, but shows incredible growth as an artist; on the track 'Child Of God (Bury Me A G)', Jeezy envisions his own death and judgment. One of the biggest rap releases of the year from Def Jam's newest superstar.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jeezy From a Golden Era Perspective February 3, 2008
Format:Audio CD
When Jeezy first came out I could not stand him. I like old school (L.O.N.S., EMPD, PE) but I love fresh production. To me the this era's MCs are dead, recycled and washed up, but the production in this era is extremely good (some people have trouble analyzing both separately). For example, I love The Runners and their new sound . My love and appreciation for production has lead me to Jeezy.

My favorite hip hop magazine is "Scratch" which is hip hop for a producer perspective (it got discontinued in Oct of 06; very disappointed ), interviewed Jeezy specifically about this album and he said the following:

"You know how Jeru the Damaja's first album sounds like Brooklyn? How 8ball & MJG sound like Memphis?"

Well Jeezy has a distinct unique sound for ATL (I love 8ball & MJG and have the same respect for them as I am finding with Jeezy). That is what I like about this album, Jeezy is different; I don't love his message or care for the same topics but when he raps, he does it in his unique way which I gotta respect.

So I was kinda impressed because my standards were low. The good parts are that the production is kicking and Jeezy has a distinct sound. The lows are that he is very one dimensional.

3.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PRODUCTION....NO NEW CONCEPTS April 2, 2007
Format:Audio CD
I love jeezy's swagg, delivery, & beats, but for some reason this album will become annoying after continuously listening to him rap. Maybe it's just me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Young Jeezy is not a source for Inspiration January 29, 2007
Format:Audio CD
Young Jeezy even proclaims not to be a rapper; yet, he is a motivational speaker. So, in this case, he is trying to speak to the youth of hip-hop culture that selling drugs and carrying guns is the cool thing to do. He should just consider himself a rapper; that way, when he's using grade-school rhyme patterns to get his message across, we can just call him a bad rapper instead of a bad role model.

Anyways, with that diatribe aside, this album is nothing new from Jeezy. We all saw it coming. He picks out some great beats, but cannot provide the great lyrics to go along with them. Therefore, an uneven album ensues. "I Luv It" was the first single and is a prime example. If this beat might have reached someone such as T.I. or maybe even a group like Clipse, this would've been a great song. However, it's Jeezy, so it's gonna be a letdown.

That's pretty much what this album is; a letdown. After guest spots on "Grew Up a Screw Up" with Ludacris and the posse cut remix "Top Back" with T.I. & B.G., i was expecting alot from Jeezy this time around. However, all i got were two tracks ("Go Getta" with R. Kelly & "3 A.M." with Timbaland) that are recommendable. The rest of the album is plagued with horrible lyrics over average-to-above average production. If you're looking for "inspiration," look away from this "trap-star."

Who's The Best
All three of these rappers have gone through the same phases, the shift from raw street material to more commercial stuff. Luda is the best in terms of popularity and selling power, Jeezy's still early in his career and got the streets sewed up, and T.I.P. is kind of blend between the two with a... Read more
