The Audacity of Dope

Like my man Nphared said yesterday, this battle between Jeezy and Wayne for the WLotD crown is like old school Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal.  Who will come out on top?

“They love me out in DC, just like go-go/
Said go-go, yeah I said go-go/
See I’m back with Don Cannon, it’s a go-go”
–Young Jeezy, “Circulate”

Does he know he’s supposed to use different words?  Dope beat though, even though Cannon’s about the 21928192189 person to flip the sample.  Still bangs…and still gibberish.

Young Jeezy – “Circulate”

Uh oh, The Recession has leaked.  Jeezy’s coming for Wayne’s crown:

“M.I.-yayo in the kitchen, Scott Storch everywhere/
White Vette, black top, kung fu panda bear (deyyyyyyym!)/
Call me sensei, I got that tae-kwon-dooooo/
On my Angelina sh*t, I want that Brad Pitt dough”
–Young Jeezy, “Welcome Back”

Welcome back indeed, though +1 point for using Storch’s name to refer to cocaine.  I wonder how it feels to be so white that your name is a euphemism for coke.  “Only thing whiter is Brooke Shields” – Cam’Ron

Jeezy’s fighting with Wayne for the WLotD crown.  The Recession is really gonna put the pressure back on Wayne to raise his wackness to the next level.  Truly, a clash for the ages.  Today’s:

“Stuntin’ on Martin Luther, feelin’ just like a King/
Guess this is what he meant when he said that he had a dream”
–Young Jeezy, “My President Is Black”

Yeah, that’s funny actually.  That’s exactly what he meant.  Guess Jeezy never saw “Return of the King.”

“I ain’t a X-Box, so why you n****s tryna play with me”
–Young Jeezy, “Crazy World”

It’s so painful when Jeezy tries to be lyrical:

“I really ain’t buyin’ all this bull***t they sellin’ me/
When the government throwin’ more curves than the letter C/
I said the letter C, I guess that’s for correctional/
They tryna box me in, sit me still like a vegetable”
–Young Jeezy, “Crazy World”

Reminds me of his other epic food reference, “it’s goin’ down on aisle three/I’ll bag you like some groceries,” from “Love In This Club.”  Get ’em Jeezy.

It’s 2:30 in the morning and I just got home from the Wyclef/Kardinal Offishall concert, which still has my ears POUNDING.  I’m only posting up this new video for Young Jeezy’s “Put On” for 2 reasons.  One, I wanted to show y’all I managed to survive a crazy hectic few days (including our Summer Jam – watch all sorts of recaps here and find me in person for a million behind the scenes stories).  Two, Kanye’s verse is really dope.  Unfortunately, the first 3 minutes of the song are all Jeezy and filled with more wack lyrics than any other single song performance this year.  Look at it like Yin and Yang, if you will.

I’ll have (extensive) interviews with The Game, Kardinal, and Clef coming in the next week, so be on the lookout for those.  And to explain the title of this entry, me and the homey Lala registered 71 new voters at Summer Jam, 99% of which will be voting for Obama in the fall.  I put onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…
