Jeezy was tha motivation that helped me walk away from the streets and start looking for another avenue to change my life. I've been retired now for over 12yrs and never felt better about where i am."
I was on the fence about buying the book until he dropped that bar , “they say you look like your daddy when you’re born and you look like your decisions when you die.” That hit hard. He’s still motivating and staying on top. Thank you for the consistency.
Nobody is saying you gotta let people punk you or put hands on you but at some point as an adult you gotta get out of the street mentality because it's something that will always hold you back.
“when you go through so many losses in life you come to grips with the fact that it’s just a part of life but you still have to allow yourself to feel” 💯 I’m working on that last part too Jeezy.
What he said about Tupac is why he’s great. He did touch your heart and mind that’s why people feel how they feel about him. They say he wasn’t a great rapper this and that it don’t matter because he touched people. No rapper has done it like that. This is why he’s so loved while others aren’t. Thank you Jeezy❤
We got to keep supporting the "old heads" in hip hop. Hip hop is only 50 years old so its still growing and we are finally seeing the evolution of our favorite artists. These guys were children (practically) when they were shaping our lives through their music. Now we see the lessons learned and can grow with them as (and into) men. The younger generation will be able to learn from this too. Shit is so dope. Hip hop 4ever.
Respect for “Jay Jeezy Jenkins”, I’m with you💯 We have to keep evolving! Change is always good. I’m supporting you in whatever you do. Music going to be forever classic.
Real talk ! This conversation is for every young man and older male’s that think that they have to mask their feelings by being tough and building walls and not feeling ,they need to know that they can have feelings and cry out loud , and that by doing so does not make you any less of a man , but it will help you grow in a positive way , then you’ll be able to move on with your life and help others , like these gentlemen are doing.
He never changed he just being hisself now.. look at interview from him when he first came out he always been same person.. It’s just now he don’t have to fake like a drug dealer cuz he’s older and could be more hisself without portraying a fake image nomore.. So I don’t c change he always been this person in all his interviews
Respect to C tha God, everyone wants him to go back to the old him but he’s been putting people on which is more important and Jeezy just showed that at the beginning of the interview 💯💯
Nah it’s the fact that he never been solid he made a career off fake drug dealing life he claimed and when ppl got to kno him or signed to him they seen he wasn’t really the image he portrayed .. He always been a non street dude it’s jus now he older he could b hisself without worryin wha others think he don’t have to b the fake drug dealer nomore
What is yall talking bout. This dude really got money. Nobody who even mad at him says he's a fake drug dealer. He just the average selfish black man who basically always had some to lose and chose hisself first everytime. If he figures it out and brings his gang back in he will be larger then life.
@ericponder8161 so should we exclude Jay-Z&many other rappers before Jeezy who came up on the same narrative🤷🏾♂️?!!At the end of the day this is the rap entertainment business,the job of rappers is to "entertain"😂.In Nore's voice "Ya"ll need to relaaaax in these comments"😂
I enjoyed this interview and both Charlemagne and Envy. They did their homework and touched on topics about evolvement . THAT'S now you do it💜 Jeezy a real one #Legendary
This interview is so in line with my affirmation when I started my day. Growth. Putting in the work to confront and overcome roots of my issues. So I can have a greater outcome that is mine to have.
Been a Jeezy fan since TOD Vol. 1.... And it feels good to still be able to be a fan @ 44 because of his growth and maturity. It's almost like 2 different ppl... A lot of these street rappers r more scared of growing up than prison. I honestly thought Jeezy wld be in that category.... Happy I was wrong. Love to see it... ✊🏾
How could he talk about her and his marriage as his sacred place and one month later, there’s divorce. Guess he didn’t want to talk about the marriage because he knew he wasn’t staying.
I would’ve never thought jeezy would turn out this way… I’ve been a jezzy fan since he first came out, he made me wanna rap like him… I’m glad he turned himself around
I remember when Mariah Carey did MTV cribs. She showed everything except for her bedroom. Later on, I spent a weekend at our youth pastor's house. It was like for young adults. We had only one rule, "Do not enter the bedroom at the end of the hall." Now as a married adult, I fully understand it on all sides. Some things are meant to be personal.
I love the person you have became! I think it teaches black men it's ok to grow Change and forgive and also be vulnerable within there truth. I love it continue to give and lead by example king flowers. I'm such a fan and I've always have been you are the shit jenkins. I love these types of interviews we need more. Knowledge is power!!!!! Rip long live Nip! Message well Received! 🎉🎉💜💙💜💙💜💙💙💙💜💜💜 #Shout out to hip hop because it truly changed alot and alot of lives. Its so much to b grateful
When was he ever not like this he rap about street stuff but this has always been his personality since tm101 every interview he wasn’t really living no street life so the whole I’m change now image don’t make sense cuz he’s always been this way fake gangsta
Most important thing I've learned in this interview is not to take everything personal which I do because really the world is not centered around you. Just keep it moving. Thanks ⛄
@@realfle3nom611 so that means to all the wise ppl throughout your life, who told you this, you still caused them problems over every little thing. You played victim. Not taking things personally is something you supposed to know early in life. But not you huh? Smh
@@tyizzirael5132 I see what you doing. I don't take it personal because growth and development is a life journey. People is not perfect and it takes others longer through different avenues to finally get it
Everyone is Talking about the subway convention But my favorite quote from Jeezy "I took a Gatorade break to get everything straight now I'm sitting here thinking how much Gatorade make" -get allot 2008
Beautiful understandings to come into. Thankful, that he’s delivering a message to be your own man and to learn from the lessons in life. The lessons where we gain the wisdom to produce the light to show the way for those looking to rise. Keep Shining!!!
Just turned 34. My name is Jesus. I was given the nickname Jeezy when I was 18 and been riding with it ever since lol Jeezy always been one of my favorite artists since 2007 ⛄️
Alot of these hiphop books are better than most ppl give them credit for.. 50cents & Gucci Mane books are really good, Look forward to reading Jeezys book aswell
S/O to J. Jeezy Jenkins! I've been a day 1 Jeezy fan since T.U.I. when he went by LiL'J (2001.)I feel like Young has always been growing throughout his career, but you can tell with the move to end the drama with Gucci he entered a new maturity level. Plus getting married, kids, etc. is only motivating him to continue his growth and stay consistent.
That’s y it’s funny he said he never wrote rap in his life until the boys n the hood days when he had 2-3 albums as lil jay when he wasn’t the fake drug lord persona
It all just come with time. The foolishness gets pushed out of vour vibrations and you start to see what really matters..I'm glad this cat survived to mature and see that there's a better life and a better way to do things. MOTIVATION 101💢
Jeezy is the greatest E.V.E.R!! The growth this man has made is simply amazing 2:17 ❤Jeezy’s laugh I got my book 📕 “If you know you know if you don’t you’re not supposed to” 😯
I listened to this interview an wanted to give it a heart reaction love it everything he said especially about pac because there ain't another artist that touch me like he did great interview guys ❤❤❤
Who would have thought jeezy would turn out to be who he is today! This is how you suppose to age and evolve! Love it!
Facts
Tell me more, I don't know of him at all . I hear the libra in him for he is well spoken and serious. However who is he other than a Arthur?.
That’s the same guy who tried to whack Gucci mane
@@debrajames3865he's an author of his own book😂.Anyone can write a book about themselves not knocking his accomplishments&all.
Jeezy was tha motivation that helped me walk away from the streets and start looking for another avenue to change my life. I've been retired now for over 12yrs and never felt better about where i am."
Lol …
Retired from streets is WILD😂💀
💯💯

I was on the fence about buying the book until he dropped that bar , “they say you look like your daddy when you’re born and you look like your decisions when you die.” That hit hard. He’s still motivating and staying on top. Thank you for the consistency.
On the fence? The book is 12.99 bro….lol
@@312Freecity😂😂
Thanks for repeating that. I couldn't understand what he said.
Books dope!
Me too that was it for me and can’t wait to read it 😊
Nobody is saying you gotta let people punk you or put hands on you but at some point as an adult you gotta get out of the street mentality because it's something that will always hold you back.
I ageee @jayDee92133 your growth is stunted when you keep a street mentality.
So I bet you think those black people should have let those white people jump on that black man🤦
💯
Facts
This thought process could save so many people
“when you go through so many losses in life you come to grips with the fact that it’s just a part of life but you still have to allow yourself to feel” 💯 I’m working on that last part too Jeezy.
The definition of real right here, from the dope game to corporate level. We'll never see another jeezy.
We see people like this all the time clown
Never been in dope game ever.. Always been a rapper
@@zay7808 negative. My ppls down there can vouch for it.
Go to Macon and ask certified OG’s about Lil J. Jeezy been havin it before rap. Fucutalmbout. And that’s facts.
Corporate Thuggin💪🏾💕
Have a productive day everyone!
I will. You too💯
Same too you
You too
Jeezy is phenomenal!!! Love his continued evolution. 🫶🏾💯💪🏾
Grown man conversation, Jeezy's evolution is commendable, and what life is about. Great to see.
What he said about Tupac is why he’s great. He did touch your heart and mind that’s why people feel how they feel about him. They say he wasn’t a great rapper this and that it don’t matter because he touched people. No rapper has done it like that. This is why he’s so loved while others aren’t. Thank you Jeezy❤
Wow
Well said Kim, and that's why 2Pac has always been my favorite rapper for that exact reason.
Pac was my leader and mentor. He taught me and what I learned helped me thru life. Military minded 🤷🏾♀️🫡💯
@@Mone333Williams show is a picture of you and Pac
Tupac was a revolutionary. He would have evolved and harnessed his love for black people into a revolution.
Hearing Jeezy Talk Give Me A Moral Stories Of Growth & Life Never Too Late For Growth

Old Head just sounds so disrespectful to me but I feel you on the other part though.
Old skool sounds better
Idk about shaping our lives. I don't Stan none of them. I just enjoy their music. It is what it is.

Alot of us can learn something from Jeezy's Growth
True but He needs to make it right with the ones he fkd over lol
I legit feel he playing the waiting game to strike when unexpected
Learn what? Examples?
Who did he f ova?

I have seen a lot of videos of people talking bad about him but what I realize they are still stuck in the past!!

I like the old jeezy music better, but im proud of the mans growth.
If you live long enough, you will come to this realization. Not everyone can be on YOUR positive path.
Jeezy has always been one of my favorite rappers but now I see him as much more than that he has truly done a 360 with his life!!
Jeezy is one of my favorite artist 🎯💯....but the laugh is EXACTLY like the adlibs....big up and continued success to Jeezy 👊🏾❤

I love these type of interviews! They’re motivational!
Great conversation, many gems, sadly We all see the divorce “announcement” if ur here to see if he mentions Jeannie it’s brief @24:22
How could he talk about her and his marriage as his sacred place and one month later, there’s divorce. Guess he didn’t want to talk about the marriage because he knew he wasn’t staying.
I would luv to hear a grown up Jeezy album 💯💯.
I love Jeezy! Such an intelligent guy
Salute to Jeezy for the growth and change! Then also to talk about it!
Evolution is beautiful❤️🩹
