Young jeezy caught the public eye with his collaboration with akon "soul survivor", a single off his 2005 debut album, "Lets get em;thug motivation 101. He has been blazing hot ever since.
His style is gangster rap, and has a lot of content on women, money, dope, cars in his songs.
I can say what got jeezy where he is right now, is his delivery style of rap, where he slows the rap down and introduces a lot of "ad libs". He also drops a lot of metaphors to.
Another factor that has been noticed in the trends with jeezy is the fact that he drops enough singles to always stay in the public eye. His first album had 6 singles; "And then what", "soul survivor" "my hood", "trap star", "go crazy" and "trap or die".
His second album had 4 singles, "i love it", "bury me a g", "go getta", and "dreaming".
His third, which dropped sept 2, this year, is still fresh in the market with three singles, "put on", "vacation", "crazy world", and one more on the way. He is planning to shoot his next single, "my president", featuring nas, early next month.
Him naming the album, "The recession", really had more than him talking politics on the album, the recession has really hit, because it might be highly impossible for him to sell platinum {one million copies}, with this album.
He has only done 6114, 781 thousand copies ill date, and its not moving big figures weekly, just about 16,000 copies weekly. Lets hope he can have a boost, because his sales would be dropping every subsequent week.
It's more on the state of sales at this moment, nobody sells that much again. Even the great "50 cent had to push his album back, from fear of bad sales. His last g-unit album, "Terminate on sight" managed to sell only 190,000 copies to date.
Let's hope Jeezy's next single, "my president" keeps him in the public eye enough to boost his sales.
