Jeezy Talks To One Of His Biggest Fans Jay Bilas

ESPN basketball analyst and former Duke assistant coach Jay Bilas recently had a little fun with Vibe magazine. The self proclaimed Young Jeezy fan gave a sample of his rapping skills before being surprisingly  interrupted by the “Me Ok” rapper himself.

In the interview Bias told Vibe, “The thing that drew me to Jeezy’s music was the hard edge to it.” For some time the analyst has been known to drop a Jeezy line when covering college games but more so for his daily tweets quoting the rapper's lyrics.

Jeezy said he had a good friend hit him up one day and ask him if he knew Jay Bilas. After relying "yea." His friend went on to inform him of Bilas' appreciation for his music, which the Atlanta rapper had to see to believe."So he pulled the pic up and Instagram and showed me and I was like it no way, somebody probably hacked him. But I was impressed. Just to see somebody from a whole other walk of life just understand my path and use it to motivate themselves and others and even more that was a big deal."

Bilas said the ritual of tweeting Jeezy lyrics started at a Michigan State game when he asked former Spartan and current Golden State Warrior, Draymond Green what he was listening to. "He (Green) said Young Jeezy and Hubert Davis one of my colleagues said jokingly 'you listen to Jeezy?' And I was like 'yes I do.' And it got out. I talked about it on the show, joked about it and somebody hit me on twitter and was like 'you don’t really listen to Jeezy' and I shot a lyric back at ‘em."

They lyric would spark a series of lyrics and Bilas' coined phrase "I gotta go to work." The phrase along with a shout out to Bilas, even made it in Jeezy's verse featured on the "Function" remix.
