I had mentioned in the post for Young Jeezy's Crazy World that my homie Obese would be attending the listening party for Young Jeezy's Recession at one of the City's finest strip clubs. The homie came back with some notes and from what I hear the album is fire. Please visit Obese at www.itsanotherone.com for more details on the listening session
Young Jeezy Presents: The Recession
Amazing - 4 ½ Stars
Track had slow and steady kind of feel to it. A lot of bass with your typical Jeezy flow. Sounds kind of like a smoking song. Potential to be a club banger also.
Crazy World - 5 Stars
Big time banger. Track had a very energetic feel to it. Faster, with a drum based beat. Eerie sort of background effects. Fave line - “I aint xbox so why you niggas tryin' to play with me (no homo).” *Obese’s favorite track
SIDE NOTE: Thanks to Jeezy for releasing this today! Click the track name to listen/download!
Dolla’s Circulate - 4 ½ Stars
Track produced by DJ Cannon. Rumba style drum beat with a crazy bass guitar line mixed with a decent amount of horns. Quick paced Jeezy, with a sample in the hook that says "Dolla’s Circulate" during which the beat breaks down. It was a club/dance type of song that sounds like it had a Caribbean/Spanish influence.
??? - 4 Stars
No name for this track because the DJ is fucking stupid. Your average Jeezy track. Big evil 808 bass line with some double time cymbals. I thought there’s a possible Wayne sample in the chorus but once again DJ "fuck head" messed that up.
Put On Remix - 5 Stars
You know the deal. Crazy shit! Jay rides the hell out of the beat. Jeezy kills it with 2 new verse's. End of story. This is my favorite song. Don’t know why, but it never gets old no matter how many times I hear it.
Vacation - 4 Stars
A slower paced track then the others. A piano, and big bass beat as is the case so far on most of the songs. Turned out to be a ride type song. DJ kept chopping it up and restarting. I hate him more and more with every track.
??? - 4 Stars
Hey yet again, DJ "I should choke to death in my own vomit" forgets to say the name of the song. Track starts out with short bass notes then progresses into yet another big bass track. Jeezy rides the wheels off of it with lots of breaks, which he continues to rap over. I didn’t hear a hook just lots of breaks and lots of bass.
Welcome Back - 3 ½ Stars
Track had a dark orchestra intro that evolved into a fast paced rider music, with high pitched synth stabs. The DJ sucks dick for coke, and plays maybe 30 seconds of the track. I hate him!
Don’t Know You - 4 Stars
Not too much to say about this one. Except, yep, another big bass track with a progressive synth. Track had sort of an uplifting sound to it like Trap Star.
??? 3 ½ Stars
And Yet another track DJ "I’m too concerned with when my boyfriend's calls", decides the title of the track isn’t important. The beat has heavy bass just like every other song, with chimes and breakdowns. This is a song for the Ladies, and has a real dope hook. Don't know who is singing because DJ "fuck meat" didn't say. This has good single potential.
Put That On Everything - 4 Stars
Big Time Banger Alert. Big bass line, double time snares on the beat pick ups. Sort of uplifting R&B hook behind Jeezy while he says "Put That On Everything". DJ "my legs need to be run over several times by a car" neglected to mention who was featured on the track so bear with my crude comparisons; “some high pitched dude that sounds like Boosie an some weird R&B singer that sounds like Kellz a little bit.”
??? - 3 ½ Stars
Another DJ Cannon produced track. Good thing this dude loves self promotion otherwise I wouldn't have known who produced any of the tracks since DJ "I’m adopted" decides this is not important like the name of this track. A sort of dance track with a Kanye sounding soulful beat when the sample hook comes in. Track had a little less bass then the others and had bongos. Possible single. Defiantly going to be a club song at the least. Another song with a sort of Caribbean/Spanish influence.
Get It Up - 4 Stars
Last track we heard. Started out with horns. Big time anthem beat. Big bass following the pattern of the rest of the album with some double time cymbals thrown in. Featuring someone. I Couldn’t recognize voice, because God forbid DJ "kid toucher" did his job and enlightened us to the details. Song is about hustlin' and just gettin' money in general.
Overall the album was sick. Not really a bad track on it. Jeezy really got back on top of his game to make an album that doesn’t stray from his style. A lot of bass and his patented, steady as a train flow, make this album what it is. I really enjoyed how he didn’t follow the pattern that many artists do these days and switch something up just to sell more records. Jeezy puts himself on, on this album, and I might add with only 3-4 guest appearances (that we heard). Remember we were in a strip club. The system was loud, the DJ didn't get what a listening session was, and there were a lot of people there talking. But we definitely tried to bring you at least some feel of what the album is going to be like. Overall "The Recession" received a 4 star rating on our points system. Now I can't wait to hear it in a quiet room, sober, with no DJ! Go cop that September 2nd!
