What would you be?” Before I can answer he said, “Nah don’t answer, what would you be?” I’m a true hustler. You still building and still striving? Who are you at that point? I talked to 50 Cent on the phone and he said, “If I was still in the streets I’d be an enforcer.” He said, “If Jay-Z was in the streets, he’d still be a boss. It’s like what do you do when you really trap? You get into this music game and you adapt. For me it’s like carving out that new space for trap, if you will. With these young cats coming in right now, it’s like they are not going to be able to keep putting out the same records with the same substance and have a career. I think it’s my duty and obligation with this record to carve out another space for that. How do you feel now that the sound is so mainstream? You helped usher in the “Trap Rap” sound. I go sit down with the higher ups and have those conversations. br>I’m not going to be like, ‘Know what I’m saying, know what I’m saying, know what I’m saying.’ I’ll go there tomorrow and talk to Craig Kallman. They think you just a rapper, it’s like, nah man. Sometimes you got to flex your muscle a little bit and you have to let people know where you stand. It was like, look, here’s where I am with it, I can do either or-know that though. I been at Atlantic over there head of A&R. I can go into these buildings and move things around too. Even for my fans and peers, I’m not going to be the person just all blacked out in hood atmosphere. I was basically saying I got options and putting it into the stratosphere that I am really a boss. What reaction were you going for when you called out Def Jam on “Me Ok?” ? If you have respect for Jeezy before you really have respect for Jeezy because there is no way any individual artist that will give you something so concentrated with so much emotion, so much passion, so much adversity, all this in songs because these aren’t songs you’re playing, these are songs you actually feel. Your A&R Carbon 15 calls Seen It All your transition record.

Well, thankfully, you’re still here, and now on your fifth album. That’s what I was thinking about when I was going out: This could be the night so fuck it, let’s just go. At that point in time I was like, ‘These ni–as are either gonna kill me or I’m going to kill them.’ That’s how I was living cause I would go places like, if you listen to those lyrics I’m talking about me being out in a club and me running into somebody who maybe it might not go right and them shooting me in my white tee. It’s crazy you said that because if you listen to “Bury Me A G” that’s those nightmares I was having. That sounds like some of the things you talked about on “Bury Me A G,” which is my favorite Jeezy record by the way. I didn’t get a chance to live the superstar part of it because I was in so deep. I think I’m going to be here.’ I felt like if it ain’t happen yet, it ain’t gonna happen. I think it was right around The Recession when I was like, ‘You know what? I think I’m going to be alright. I really went through a lot because I really wanted to do this and I felt like all this was going to be taken from me because of all the bad stuff that I had done before I got here. Was it more difficult than you thought?Ībsolutely, I couldn’t even explain to you what my nights were like. When you entered the rap industry, you were also really getting out of something else. Jeezy shared gems that unfortunately didn’t make it into our interview in this week’s issue of Billboard - such good gems that we couldn’t help but share them below. via Island/DefJam.During our near 90-minute conversation, Jeezy opened up on a range of issues, from his new album and decade in the music business to his relationship with Def Jam Recordings. TM103: Hustlerz Ambition is slated for release on Dec. (“Life’s a bitch but she’s the only love I know” –Jay-Z) Jeezy himself is in rare form on the track, displaying a rare moment of celebration and vulnerability. Though Andre’s verse leaked to the ‘Net some time ago, Jay-Z adds a monster to this well orchestrated number. “I Do” may be one of the biggest records of Jeezy’s career. “Leave You Alone” is destined for radio greatness.ĥ. Playing with Biggie’s infamous line, “ If the head right, Jeezy there every night,” he keeps it G while getting his mack on. Ne-Yo helps the ATLien get one out for the ladies on TM103. He referenced Juvy’s verse from “A Million and One Things” ( “I can’t please everybody, but I love my folks If I give ya everything, baby, I’ma be broke” –Juvenile ) as inspiration for the cut, which deals with folks who’ve helped Jeezy only in hopes of receiving something back.Ĥ. 3.ěefore playing “Nothing,” Jeezy cited Juvenile as one of his favorite rappers.
