Word From The Media Blocks

The Media Weighs In On YOUNG JEEZY's new album, "RECESSION".

THE GOOD:

RapReviews.com:

Jeezy manages to keep a strong unified album together without ever getting monotonous or tired.
____________

Entertainment Weekly:

Jeezy has assembled a politically tinged disc that will sound spectacular blasting out of dashboard speakers for the rest of the year...assuming anyone can still afford to drive a car by then.
____________

Slant Magazine:

There's a unique pleasure in hearing a once one-dimensional rapper discover complexity, and for that Recession is nearly indispensable.

THE BAD:

Rolling Stone:

While the usual approach is still good for a certain seductive brawniness, there's not much here that Jeezy hasn't done before.
____________

Hartford Courant:

The Atlanta crack rapper's third album is largely a faithful rehash of his first two platters, which transformed him from unrepentant hustler to unlikely inspirational figure

THE UGLY:

Los Angeles Times:

Jeezy's sonic sins would be partially pardonable were The Recession to flash any hint of fun or humor. Instead, the street-cred-consumed caricature is more content to rip off Tupac Shakur ("Hustlaz Ambition") and write abominable hooks.
