    With his rumbling, slurring baritone and unyielding force of will, he rhymes with a preacher's power, only he's proselytizing from the corner, not the pulpit.

    It's the Atlanta MC's immense personality that truly inspires. [15 Dec 2006, p.87]

    With no shiny, distracting megabeats in tow, Jeezy's inherent flaws stand out much more sharply.
