First Young Jeezy motivated, then he inspired. But now? Times are hard, so the Atlanta trapper appropriately titled his upcoming album, The Recession. “I told [John McCain] the hood was fucked up and he was like, ‘How you doing?’” Jeezy told Mixtape Monday, explaining meeting the AZ. senator after performing with Usher on SNL. “Real talk. The know entertainers, so they shake your hand, ‘I’m your friend.’ But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out my pocket because she can’t get insurance. I dont really feel McCain. It ain’t just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression.” Jeezy’s new album is due in August. [MTV News]
Walking disaster Amy Winehouse performed at the Glastonbury Music Festival and aside from getting into it with a fan, she also took a dig at Kanye West. The British singer called ‘Ye a “cunt” during one of her songs, apparently a swipe at his late arrival at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. West, however, laughed off the remark on his blog. “Amy Winehouse hates me! Now I’ve really made it!” [Yeezy blog, bitches]
Will Smith and his wife are opening a new private school in Los Angeles and rumors are already starting that the project is a Scientology center. The former Fresh Prince and Jada Pinkett’s New Village Academy is set to open in September. “We are a secular school, and just like all non-religious, independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religion or pass on beliefs of their particular faith to children,” a spokesperson for the school told the Los Angeles Times.

I was never a fan of Jeezy but I’m feelin what he said.
Amy Winhouse is right Kanye is a cunt.
I hope The Will Smith makes those kids wear those jackets he wore on Fresh Prince of Belaire. That would be tight dress code.

The hood is a hood because there ain’t no jobs there in the first place. The hoods are merely a symptom of the problem. And by the way: there are plenty of “jobs” that don’t offer health insurance.
Jeezy watch ya back. The hip hop police got you in their sights.

BORN RAISED AND STILL IN THE HOOD
WESTSIDE DETROIT SEVENMILE EXIT 14
AT NO MORE HOOD THAN THAT, I DONT CARE WHERE YOU FROM, I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.
THERE IS ALWAYS WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, ESPECIALLY IN A CITY. BUT WE AINT DONING NOTHING BUT TALKING SHIT ABOUT WHITE MEN AND THROWING TRASH ON THE GROUND IN OUR OWN HOODS, BURNING SHIT DOWN IN OUR OWN HOODS, STEALING FROM OUR OWN HOODS, GETTING PIMPED BY THE DOPE BOYS, PREACHERS, AND PIMPS IN OUR OWN HOODS.
WE SIT AROUD WAITING ON AMERICA TO DO FOR US, WHEN WE COULD DO FOR OURSELVES.
NOBODY CARES
THE REASON MY HOOD IS FUCKED UP IS BECAUSE OF HOODLUMS. BECAUSE OF NIGGERS LIKE JEEZY. THEY DON’T CONTRIBUTE TO THE INFOSTRUCTURE. THE BLACK KKK ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WE HAVE.
IGNORANT YOUTH, THINK THEY ARE GETTING BACK AT AMERICA, BUT ARE REALLY FUCKING UP THIER OWN NEIGHBORHOODS. JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT SELLING DRUGS AND KILLING PEOPLE IN MY HOOD, IT’S NIGGERS LIKE JEEZY.
IT’S NOT MCCAIN, NOT TAKING CARE OF THIER SEEDS, IT’S NIGGERS LIKE JEEZY.
JEEZY MOTIVATES THUGS TO DO WHAT?

I hope Young Jeezy doesn’t get on this Album and just talk about his Day’s as a D-Boi. I hope it has some substance. I relate to him cause I’ve been in the Middle of that Lifestyle. But come on Man! Lets get real with it. I know its more to you than that. Because its more to me ,than that.
