Young Jeezy - Scared Money
Artist: Young Jeezy
Featuring: Lil Wayne
Producer: Boi-1da
Album: Thug Motivation 103
Label: CTE/Def Jam/IDJMG
Out of all the possible phobias (heights, spiders, clowns), a fear of currency would have to be the worst, unless by Scared Money Young Jeezy means “don’t be scared of committing crimes to get money,” in which case a healthy fear might just be a good thing. Criminal pursuits aside, Jeezy’s back on the block with his new street single Scared Money, a track that only took me ten seconds to decide is much better than his DJBooth un-approved last offering Trap or Die 2. First, Boi-1da delivers a synth-soaked banger of a beat worthy of Jeezy’s always raspy rhymes, which he delivers here with his trademark intensely-relaxed style. Second, while Weezy’s guest verse is hit or miss, I’ll give to him for the hilarious Bonecrusher reference. All that adds up to a track that falls well short of classic status, but still has me much more excited about Jeezy’s upcoming album Thug Motivations 103, which still has no release date. Keep it locked to DJBooth.net for all the latest updates.

This is officially the new Put On, and my favorite song right now
This is the jeezy that i like to listen to Sick beat, i thought Weezy had a couple of good lines, his verse was alright, but i could care less about the verses cuz the hook just pumps me up! Just like Put On did |

His first two tracks had gotten me a little worried about this album, because neither of them were really very good. I like this one here though. This is the kind of beat Jeezy works well with, though, and Wayne was solid on here. Jeezy is back to bein Jeezy. This gets a 4.

I dunno if this is the new Put On, though its still a pretty dope track.
Production is good and both Jeezy & Wayne delivered in their verses, though I dont like the hook 3.5 |

Jeezy's officially back. The other songs released had me worried but it's safe to say he's finally back to those "anthem/motivation" tracks. Wayne was kinda forgettable, he didn't bring the song down but didn't elevate it either. Jeezy could of held it down himself and with the hook, I didn't care what he rhymed.

It's better than "Trap or Die 2," so thats a step in a better direction! Just kidding. Dope record. Wezzy mailed in his verse, but even a mailed in Weezy verse is better than most.

Still confused on why Jeezy said "Illuminati" and then said Pac said that, when Pac clearly said "Killuminati", which meant "Kill The Illuminati".
I guess he's down with the #AllBlackEveything movement now too...lol. The song was dope though. |

When Jeezy released "I Got This".... He never had it...
When he released Trap or Die 2 the whole Dj Booth just wanted that track to die.... Now Jeezy releases scared money and well this track is to say the least HOT!! Boi-1da totally takes the show IMO but Jeezy doesn't disappoint and Wayne is descent!! Banger |

To me, Jeezy is the only one that could have spit over this beat, such as Put On. But the Wayne verse is mediocre.

For me this isn't one of the best Jeezy song's, but it's definitely a welcome return to the Snowman I've grown to love. Speaking of which, how great would a Jeezy Christmas album be? Let's make this happen.

Its Rotation fa sho! but I'm not totally impressed, and comparing this song to "Put On" is laughable.
It should've been better, first off beat mos def knocks proper but it ain't that catchy. Secondly, hook is repetitive but I give it to Jeezy for once again coming up with a catchy phrase, not many can do that! As for verses, just like @Nathan, I too have found a new-grown liking for Jeezy's rhymes. Wayne had a tight flow, but what about that intro! |

Damn computer viruses! Now I can only get on the Booth at work during lunch :( But!!! We're working on getting my laptop fixed.
This song IS NOT the new Put On, because Weezy's verse is not near as good (or long) as Kanye's was; the hook was too repetitive for me as well. I'm not saying this song was all bad, because the beat was dope. I'm just saying that it isn't, and won't become, the next Put On. |

Didn't like the chorus and if you gonna make anthem/motivational tracks the hook should be the best part. Let's get a remix with Kanye with a better chorus. Then it would truly be the new Put On

Having started to like Lil Wayne and Jeezy a little bit again I was really excited to see this song. However, Jeezy's verse was similar to trap or die 2, just ok and wayne was good but not nearly as good as he was on no ceilings. Overall its just an ok song to me.

Wow, Wayne murdered this track. Sick verse from him.
Not quite the sequel to Put On, but Jeezy has great taste in beats and he brings the goods here. |
