Right around the time Lil Jon, Young Bloods, Lil Scrappy and many more Crunk Artists were putting Atlanta in the music forefront with the Crunk Movement, there was something else brewing beneath the surface just waiting to blossom into a craze that would continue to evolve to this day.
"Streets is Watchin" laid the foundation and "Trap or die" set the world on fire!!!!!!! To this day i still conisder Trap or Die Jeezy's 1st mainstream album. To me Jeezy embodies the term "dont have to bump this plus please respect it" He may not be the most rappinest rapper of all time but he gets his point across and i think that makes for good entertainment.
"Am the realest N***a in it you already know, got trapper of the year four times in a row...." that's was all u needed to hear and u were hooked. I have watched as up and coming rappers try to duplicate the formula that launched Jeezys career and it just doesnt work. Adlibs were underlying factor in song construction and since Jeezy hit the scene everybody turned their adlibs a notch or two higher.
There is not enough ways to explain just how much of a buzz Jeezy had and a a result put DJ Drama's Gansta Grillz Mixtapes on the map.
I remember when every artist coming out had to drop a Gangsta Grillz Mixtape Prior to album release.
When its all said and done Drama and Jeezy made History with their Mixtapes and hopefully they can put that BS they have going on between them right now and create another classic. The streets need it.
