One of the men that first taught me everything about the streets from a rapper perspective , then showed me how to handle myself accordingly when it comes to being a grown man with kids , and leaving the streets alone . Real street legend 💯💪🏽

[@savvyv4182]

I love the way he speaker on the generations and young black men needing leaders and other black men to relate to preaching positivity, politics, hardships and how to move. Instead of all the killing and beef crap it’s whack! Because losing PAC did something to us fr, and BIG. Much love from Detroit where we love Jeezy! Cam your interviews have been banging lately, keep it funky ❤

[@christinebryant8354]

Jeezy your book was great I read it in three days! As I was reading your book I kept saying to myself this brother should be dead or in prison. How you made it over is nothing short of God! I grew up on the eastside of Detroit. Have known brothers that went down the same road to no return. Some dead & some in prison for the rest of their lives. I’m glad you’ve changed for the better. They say when you know better you do better.

As a Panther fan that was good to see💪🏾💪🏾

[@AHealingSanctuary]

There’s nothing I love more than to see a man respect another man to his face, and give him his flowers. Today’s culture is so “you gay this, you gay that”, it’s great to see Cam stay true to himself and not care about outside validation or opinions.

[@bettylanns330]

Awesome interview with two Awesome men. Jeezy mentions Easy E, two months later Compton has given Eazy some flowers, by naming a street after him. Eazy E street Congrad’s to his family. Cam is great when he does his interviews . He allow them to speak an express their story . Jeezy took us back with some history of some great artist Michael, Dolph, Eazy an so on. Just a Stella podcast.💯 keep keepin it funky.

[@silverlight1344]

[@BLVCKSEA]

Bro I honestly didn't even know that this was the same Cam Newton from the NFL when I started seeing them shorts on YT..he's like a whole other person! The man done grew his loccs out and everything. Jeezy on the other hand looks deadass the same as he did from the TM 101 days..his clothes might've gotten smaller..but it did for all of us. He's def one of my top 10 rappers.

[@kimmilleratl540]

JEZZY THIS INTERVIEW WAS SMOOTH AND EASY .THANKU TALKING THE PEOPLE THROUGH. THE CANVAS IS DESIGNED TO MAKE IT CLEAR, TO SHOW THEM THE WAY , IF YOU GO THAT WAY IT UNNECESSARY TROUBLE. IF YOU GO THIS WAY IT AIN'T GONE BY EASY BUT THE REWARDS BARE BLESSING OF GOD GUIDED DECISIONS 🙏 THANKU JESUS WEE NEEDED IT . HEY CAM IM GOING TO FOLLOW U NOW 👌

I remember my mom was babysitting one of his sons when my brother was playing AAU ball for Atlanta Select. I remember watching jeezys fashion show from the rooftop on Auburn Ave. This is one of the best interviews I’ve watched. Love what both of these men have going on. Keep working and motivating.

[@jamalmccrea]

Excellent Interview! Jeezy dropped some gems 💎

[@Pgpadlock]

Thank you Cam once AGAIN 🙏!!! I gotta know... was this your easiest interview??? I felt you when you said "my mind racing right now"... Jeezy is the archetype... Snoop does business but it's something missing.. Ross and Gucci do good business but they got limitations... Jeezy is Corporate Thuggin yet embraced by EVERYONE!!! "I'm not a rapper" -Jeezy

[@daleoswaldodangerfield85]

Snoop is the OG who is literally embraced by everyone. He is the most famous guy in hip hop of all time he's more famous than Tupac. Snoop is a legendary hip hop icon nothing is missing and there are no limitations and I love Jeezy but he's nobody compared to Snoop. It was a bad comparison from the get-go. Ross and Gucci is who you compare Jeezy to, not the Bigg Boss Dogg

[@Pgpadlock]

@@daleoswaldodangerfield85 Snoop is a puppet and gets on TV for publicity (Martha Stewart? stop it)... he can't escape it and could never stand with a president because he sold out to weed

[@Pgpadlock]

@@daleoswaldodangerfield85 He said Snoop is more famous than Tupac!!! Lol... he must be white 😭... PAC been dead since 1996.... Jeezy relate to that movement not Snoops' ... he's limited bro... he never motivated or inspired anyone for a positive cause only to get high
