Young Jeezy Trap or Die, 10 year anniversery

It's been ten (!) years since Jeezy dropped Trap or Die. This sh*t dropped jan. '05. This mixtape set it all off for Jeezy. This joint changed the way rappers made tracks, shot videos and gave rappers a rap personna to portray. Yeah, TI came out earlier. Cool Breeze talked about the 'trap' in the late 90's. This joint had a bigger impact than both of these n*ggas though. In hindsight this regional classic was the transition between crunk and trap/ d-boy rappers. Crunk was already on its way out, but after this dropped you didn't see these Trillville/ Collipark/ Knuck if you buck n*ggas like that.

While I f*cked with this tape heavy, I have to honestly say I never expected Jeezy would be around a decade later. I also didn't expect his level of consistency. He stepped his game up tremendously.

Post your favourite joint from Trap or Die. Mine is "Rap sh*t". "5 whole days just to count that reup money."

    "Keep it in my lap n!gga/ Not the glove department..."

    Not to go offtopic in my own thread, but TIP is still cool to me. Can't deny his discography. The brother still drop heat when he wanna. He a hustla, so if he can make money on something he's gonna do it. If he tells you he selling poison to 'his' people to make ends meet and he's been convicted for that sh*t then why wouldn't he push a garbage gimmick rapper from Australia.

    Jeezy x Shawty Redd was the best combo. Dropped classics.

    ToD and TM101 changed my life lol. Was my soundtrack back in 05.

    I think a great part of Jeezy's appeal is his relatability. In a way he's the black equivalent to the American dream. Come from a bad situation and better yourself by any means. Jeezy symbolizes the struggle to alot of real n*ggas. Ambition, grinding, trying to come up, making new connects, bettering your position, lose dead weight. Whether you a 9 to 5 n*gga doing your corporate thing or a street n*gga, his story and the music he makes is relatable. N*ggas are happy to see Jeezy make it, because it's motivational.

    I really aint like him too much when I first heard of him and then I heard trap or die in a coworkers whip system bangin.....daaaaaaammmmnnnnnnn....

    10 years, ? im old...I used to go to the club and it would sound like the dj would just put his whole cd on and just let that ? ride...and the club would stay hype.

    Low key, the best song off that album is "Standing Ovation". That track literally gives me chills b/c u can hear the realness in his voice of a dopeboy/hustla who grinded and some how made it out. He made u FEEL every single word! Not to mention that's one of Drumma Boy's best beats (top 10 imo and we all know he has a crazy catalog) b/c it just has this stadium/anthem type vibe to it.

    And for those who weren't in Atlanta when it dropped, u could go to any club (definitely the shake jawnts) and they would damn near play the album front 2 back all while BMF nikkas (no matter what club u went 2 they were in da building) were makin' it monsoon money like no tomorrow. ? was phuckin' surreal! Although I do blame them for spoiling them skrippa hoes and makin' them lazy. lol

    man it was like that here in nc.

    Probably my fav off of TM101 too. That ? is what made me a fan of Drumma Boy. lol. That and that "Trap ? " Track he did with Jeezy and Jody Breeze off of that Boyz N Da Hood Album.

    And that was everywhere bro. You damn near couldn't go nowhere with out someone bangin that ToD and TM101. lol.

    This ? is way overrated and so is Jeezy. Wasn't very impactful around my way. People saw him and it for what it was.
