Young Jeezy - Greatest Trapper Alive
Artist: Young Jeezy
Producer: Needlz
Album: Trap or Die 2: By All Means Necessary
Label: CTE/Def Jam/IDJMG
Like Bow Wow, Romeo, Diddy, and the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays before him, the artist formerly known as Young Jeezy has cut down the fat on his name and is now officially, and simply, Jeezy (not that anyone thought he was that young to begin with). Minor changes aside, Jay Jenkins is back to his old form, making heavy-hitting bangers such as his latest track, Greatest Trapper Alive. With a fast paced production reminiscent of an 80’s car chase soundtrack, Needlz provides the momentum that allows Jeezy to flow through his classic witticisms with ease (“Like an illiterate *****, I hope I never see a pen.”). If you liked the return of Jeezy to your headphones, be sure to look out for his Trap or Die 2: By All Means Necessary mixtape, the official prelude to TM103. Oh, and if you need any more anticipation for the album drop, check out this link. As always Booth Heads, keep it locked here for more.

Solid mixtape track from Jeezy. Needlz production work here was worthy of a slot on the album, but if this mixtape does big things it won't be a semi-wasted effort. Name change or not, I am looking forward to the new album. This summer should be interesting...

Think the production catches my ear more than Jeezy's verses. Although I am optimistic he'll pick it up in time for the album!

Bring back the 'Young Jeezy' name. It sounds better then just 'Jeezy'.
To this track, the production is good from Needlz, who is probably one of the more underated producers floating around at the moment. Jeezy's verses were alright, though I thought he would of came harder over some quality production. |

The production on this steals the spotlight. Needlz deserves more recognition. Jeezy was Jeezy on this; catchy lyrics with little substance or originality and, personally, I'm perfectly okay with that.
A lot of bangers on the Booth today. |

I feel that this beat and production outdid jeezy on this one. It's a good song for his mixtape but shouldn't be on the album. This mixtape will be just as hot as the album though. I always called him jeezy to begin with so no change there. He does an average spit on this but I don't feel he went in hard. He is probably the greatest trapper alive because they are dying out nowadays. Hope him and gotti can save it before it's gone. Nice work Needlz on this. Hope your on the album too.

Honestly, I was expecting a little more, but not disappointed. I have to agree, the intricate production is what earned banger status. Jeezy's verses were alright, but props to Needlz for making what would have been a good song better.
Can't wait to here the album, have a feelin' its gonna be hot. |

haha for some reason i just thought of starchky and hutch when the intro played it sounds semi-funky definitely old-school inspired.
i like jeezy and how he works with this beat really making it enjoyable but its not something id put on my mp3 player at all. its doesnt have that wow factor, im not blown outta my mind right now and so far its been that day. however its not bad and the beat has its moment like that solo part at the end is pretty sweet and jeezy does too plus the chorus is nice but yeaa its not special or anything overall it was a nice one listen though. |

This is alright, the production is good, but doesn't do enough to keep my attention. Jeezy does little to help that cause either, with recycled flows and lyrics. 2.5 stars

I really can't stand rappers changing their name. I mean did Game really have to drop "The" from his name? I mean most people already called him Game. And I'm not sure why, I guess just Jeezy now, had to drop "Young." No one would have said that his name didn't sound "hood" enough, and if they did I am sure they changed their mind right after they heard/saw him. I blame Sean Combs for this. Should have just stuck with is real name.
O yea the song! Love the vibe of the boardwork. Melds together well with Jeezy's rough vocals. Great drum, piano and trumpet samples. Just like Sigurd said, it has an old car chase feel to it. Some tight verses here but not his best work. He might be the "Greatest Trapper Alive" but this song doesn't do that title justice. Should have been something more raw and powerful. Just missed it on this one Jeezy but I am sure we are going to get what we are waiting for soon enough. |

Someone needs to tell YOUNG jeezy and THE game that instead of worrying about name changes, they should worry about the crap quality of music that they're making right now. Let's go!

I didn't really like it, for no particular reason just wasn't something I'd listen to. I also think he shouldn't have taken the young out of his name, because Young Jeezy sounds better than just plain Jeezy.

Jeezy's lyrics were better than yall are giving him credit for. Not the best, but there was some good wordplay in there. I can't think of another word, the production was just plain enjoyable.

Personally, I got the cheesy 70's kung-fu movie vibe from this beat.
It's upbeat, airy, and I agree with Blaze31, Aussie_Pride, and Phantastic, and others, that the production was the real winner in this track. Somehow, Lil Jeezy seemed a bit too serious. There's nothing wrong with intensity, but when your beat is this entertaining and dynamic then it shouldn't be a battle to see who comes out on top. Maybe David Carradine will like it more than I did. |

This ain't bad at all. The production is definitely on point. I don't really see Jeezy on this joint. He aight though but I could see someone else doing better on this joint.

I think Jeezy is slowly but surely falling off...ever since he dropped The Recession I haven't heard too much I've been impressed with. I'm glad to hear that this is just a mixtape track because I would have been really disappointed if this were going to be on his coming up album. He didn't do a bad job on this Needlz beat but it seems like he could have come harder or brought some more catchy Jeezy lyrics that he normally brings. Still looking forward to 103 when it drops!!

I hate to say this, but ever since Thug Motivation 101 and his Recession albums, I really feel as though "Jeezy" fell off a little bit. I remember listening to him back when he was in Boyz in the hood, and instantly noticed that he over shadowed the three other members, so I wasn't surprised to see him finally go solo. This track, however, doesn't really get me going as much as his previous material does. Trap or Die 2 was just horrible and this track is close to following in it's predecessor's footsteps.
Beat was the real star of this song. Jeezy's lyrics were really dwindling in this one. Wasn't sure if I should concentrate on the beat, or what Jeezy was trying to tell me, which after one listen really isn't too evident. All together I'll agree with all the other two star ratings and say that this was just Ok. |

I'm with y'all. I like this and Jeezy has an acceptable performance right here, but I also can't help but to think that beat is not utilized to its maximum effect.

ok i assume. and young jeezy has confirmed that the word 'young' is still associated to his name and that he wont ever remove it from his moniker therefore making him known to the world as young jeezy always and forever.

Man, I was afraid what Jeezy was going to pull off with that picture reference to Malcolm X. I admire the man so greatly that I was cautious with what the song could imply. Feared that it could be one giant ego stroking, you know?
The raspy, thumping signature sound of Jeezy is there. But fell off, not enough intensity, and other comments made here I agree. The voice carried the song right away, but I could just hear the slow and gradual disintegration. It was like listening to a man disappear almost to the beat. Rain washing away Sandman. Could it be such that this is an indicator of what is to come? How ironic it is that the performance disappoints the title and the production greatly... Step it up, Jeezy! |

I really enjoyed the beat, percussion and overall melody. Jeezy is better than given credit for, that line on the blurb is dope! This reminded me of "Real", from Lupe Fiasco. |
