Jeezy Recalls His Time Working With Boyz N Da Hood

[@unbiasedtv6525]

I just need jeezy to stop saying "I wasn't a rapper" 😂🤣 nigga was rapping for YEARS before that 🤣. Nigga had a whole album under the name "Lil jay" years before that. Stop fronting jeezy

[@godsgrind414]

I'm saying he tryna save face

[@ianmullins4387]

Lol. I think that's his way of saying he wasn't a good rapper, because Lil Jay was trash.

[@andrewdoster2905]

I came here just to say this 😂😂😂 wtf wrong with this man

[@gerardovega4641]

Exactly. I'm like what in the world. Lil j album dropped in 01, dude was in the game for a minute

[@ProdByBashP]

Yeah and when "Dem Boyz" came out he already had a huge buzz as a solo artist which is why Diddy wanted him in the group in the first place. Thug Motivation came out in July 2005 and the Boyz N Da Hood album came out in June of the same year. So he definitely capping here lol.

[@robmaddenrymediacompany]

That Boyz N Da Hood album STILL gets rotation in 2022.

[@LRrealest]

Damn I was about to post something similar, Salute

[@cedrickcarson]

“Trap N*” was one of my favorites. Funny thing is it’s cause Jeezy x Jody was going line for line on the whole song. All while Jeezy was putting him on game. Safe to say Jody didn’t quite listen to him. 😅

[@Dmonchild]

Jody breeze and big gee were underrated them boys were fire!

[@DFRNTVIEWSTV]

Duke was too he literally did shit with cash money and wrote for bow wow and was on bow wow first album he dnt get no credit

[@NatHenrickClarke]

I thought Jody Breeze would blow first, I didn't care for Jeezy back then, but I'll say this, Jeezy had some of the fastest progress I've seen from a rapper, he got better and better every time I heard him, salute!

[@TheYellowBrickRoadTV]

Agreed. TM1,TM2, The Recession and TM3 was all solid. Then after that to me he didn’t seem passionate about his craft really. I did cop The Recession 2 it was cool. I liked that he link back with DJ Drama.

[@BlackJohnnyCage]

Put up his own money

[@DTVidz-lq5zi]

Watch the Jody Breeze interview from podcast Big Facts, which may allude to why Jeezy blew up before Jody Breeze.

[@DFRNTVIEWSTV]

People keep saying that jeezy already had independent albums and bmf funding him i felt jody was gonna be the wayne of the south but jeezy was always gonna blow first

[@brettthomas6327]

Very true 👍

[@isaacfisher9858]

I still listen to recession regularly.people need to realize how hard it is to find a album you can listen to strait through and not skip a song.

Boyz N Da Hood was a fire group. Both their albums were pretty solid

[@K_SwindleFBK]

Boyz N Da Hood first album was so fire

[@Primetimeford]

The inspiration one of my favorite albums from jeezy !

[@domodacutee1731]

I thought Jody Breeze was so underrated

I agree 💯❤

[@DLosr]

“Last time I checked I was the man on these streets They call me residue, I leave blow in these beats”

[@bradboss818]

Bruh was rapping waaaay before Boyz N Da Hood...literally had albums before Boyz N Da Hood and was doing mixtapes with DJ Drama. WTF?!!! These Rappers are always sticking to the script 🤣 just keep it real homie. And those lambos popped up right around the time BMF got in the picture and helped pushed you. I like Jeezy but bruh come on lol

[@ya2boyington]

1? That was sold out his car. 😂Y’all niggaz weird

[@BladimirButin]

Right he went by Lil J in 2001

[@Ziplok_]

his lyrics on the verse are so critical I love how he talks about how long the verse takes to make on the verse that is so dope Salute Jeezy

[@rocko_M]

Thug motivation 101 & the recessions best albums. CLASSICS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@biniamaraya6009]

When he say he wasn't a rapper he means he was half way still in the streets and wasn't fully focused like the polished jeezy we all grown to love now.

[@williewakawhistle9058]

It's not hard to understand

[@dottywaad1249]

Exactly people so hard of hearing dam

[@BrandonM803]

Yal be reaching like yal know niggas. Jeezy stay fronting in interviews. He was a street nigga, he just always wants you to know, when nobody cares. The nigga even elaborated on how new he was to rapping (which was a lie) by saying how he didn't know how to write or record. All niggas is saying is, he had been writing and recording for years by then and thats ok.

[@muchoswago]

It's sucks how good groups fall apart. That introduction album was fire 🔥

[@dre-p954]

Wait a min what about the 'come shop with me' album that was before

[@johnclark6302]

Jeezy did a alot of cap in this interview

[@TerranceT-Milli]

How? Other than the not a rapper part

[@RodC1987]

Meaning he's not taking rap seriously in the beginning because of his street money and hustler..for the people never hustled wouldn't understand where he is coming from

[@jeffcrayton9596]

A whole lot

Thank you ​@@RodC1987

Ur not a rapper u wasn't familiar with the studio but u already had 2 albums our before Boyz in the hood 🤦‍♂️

[@milagrosbreijo628]

He said he didn't know how to rap his 1st time was Dem Boyz in the hood.....he's had albums and mixtapes and other song's in 01 and 03 and 04 lol 🤣🎯🔥😂💯

[@korancebland]

You're rapping in the studio for a major label. You're recording songs. How are you not a rapper?

Shout out to jeezy for signing haiti babii coldest outta Stockton CA!

[@georgedylan7901]

Legendary times!!! His style was crazy!!! "USED TO HIT THE KICHEN LIGHTS...."

[@broderickbrown8698]

Whoever had Jody breeze signed at that time definitely dropped the ball. He should have dropped right after that Boyz n da hood album. Cause he was killing that MF every song

[@Carolina_Fresh]

He makes it sound good. I will salute the fact that in that time we couldn’t believe he was the one who’d get a deal with Def Jam and then to sign with Puff.

[@traekiful]

TM101 was a classic

[@Zoo757]

he def was a rapper at that time lol

Exactly

[@QUiNTiNBANKS]

[@mervcharles8365]

Not sure why he said he wasn’t a rapper at that time… He was already putting out music and rapping. He tried to make it sound like he ain’t never recorded a record before lol

[@MC302oils]

One of the best

[@Introverted-Trucker]

I like jeezy but I hate when he tries to paint this narrative like he stumbled upon rap like he never intended to be a rapper

[@ryanr20091]

back then, Jeezy was right cats were still kind of focused on ''bars'' and if you could actually rap not like today when you get on just because you talk about killing other niggas only to hide the fact that they can't really rap like that. Jeezy was respected because he was authentic and wasn't a studio thug. technically he wasn't ever going to be the greatest rapper of all time. I think he knew that, and it didn't matter to him he was a real one

[@Introverted-Trucker]

Jeezy had bars and the south had a stronghold. He just pushes that narrative he was a street cat who didn’t care about rap he was just doing it to be doing it. If that was the case why would he be pressing up 5-600k cds passing em out. I believe he got money but not to the extent that he tries to portray.

[@ryanr20091]

@@Introverted-Trucker yeah he definitely had quotables like a 50 cent but he wasn't a lyrical mc like that which was cool not everybody has to be in hip hop. He got his point across without saying too much and was really effective kind of like 50 cent that's why i made the comparison they are similar . I believe him he was a street nigga that actually decided to rap and his music was based on that when you hear his album the whole snowman theme trap or die shit that's all street shit

[@henrydaniels7287]

Wtf you talking about? He never intended to be a rapper. He started a group as the money man or boss, but his artist got killed. So instead of letting all that studio equipment n shit go to waste he was forced to rap n as we can see it paid off

[@nvm7191]

Lol He acting like he ain’t already have a whole solo album 2 years before Boyz n the hood

[@Onlylifenotlabel]

6:59😂😂😂

[@amb-yz9ee]

It’s a shame that they weren’t a real group who didn’t do a couple albums together . I just recall Jeezy not being with them for any time at all.

[@TheYellowBrickRoadTV]

NORE doesn’t do his research on journalism to well 😂😂

[@shaunp253]

I think he means it in a sense that he rapped, but he wasn't truly a rapper (like Eazy E), originally he wasn't supposed to be the rapper for his label, but had to after all his artist kept getting locked up. He has said in a past interview he didn't start learning to rap well until I think TM 102 or The Recession.

[@BiG_Daddy_Hollingsworth_843]

He saying rap wasn't his profession it was a hobby he didn't consider himself a rapper because he wasn't making money for it

[@christianjames92]

@@shaunp253 Exactly. He tried making a label, which most dope dudes do to try to launder the drug money through a legitimate business. That's what is rumored Cash Money did back in the day.

[@cam2xx688]

Big meech was def behind pushing jeezy jeezy ain’t have no money to push his music meech did all that for him

[@finnessejets4231]

So he used the group to create leverage for that 101 album. That shit hit like a hurricane when it dropped. From bars, beats, mixing that album it was perfect from top to bottom. No skips either btw and it had 19 trax on it. He has not topped that album since it dropped.

[@ianmullins4387]

I think that's hilarious because he literally bragged on the Boyz N Da Hood Gangsta Grillz and Trap or Die, that he had 2 deals. I'm not sure, how that fact was missed by the members and when I say members I mean Jody.

[@dee7665]

One reason i cant listen to drank champ is because they always keep interrupting and throwing off the interview

[@BiG_Daddy_Hollingsworth_843]

He didn't consider himself a rapper because he wasn't making a Majority of his income in the streets, having music doesn't make you a rapper it you can't claim a profession you don't get paid for at that time he was rapping to make it now he making it off rapping.....💯
