“When you first get into the music business, you’re excited to be there, you want to make records that everybody’s loving.”But, after you’ve got years in the game, you wanna give people the real side of you, show people some character.

“Life is good; there’s yachts, there’s nice cars, there’s movie roles.”We overcame… but, in the middle of all that… you can’t forget about the ones that didn’t make it with us. Life is good, but that still doesn’t erase all the horror out here.”

Rapping about cars and jewelry is ok, but you got to give some music the working class can relate too. Most people won’t be driving a Bently or Lamborghini in their lifetime. Jeezy got a few Lamborghinis but you see he is rapping about people struggling these days. I think it is all about having the right mix of content.
