    After so many albums, I can only listen to Jeezy in small doses as his voice (although unique) is nauseating. Listen to his whole album at one time...I can't. I won't. None the less, the title track is a banger. He keeps up with the times by mimicking what others are doing-in terms of content and beats/production. Which is a bit disappointing. Outside the title track I cant rememberAfter so many albums, I can only listen to Jeezy in small doses as his voice (although unique) is nauseating. Listen to his whole album at one time...I can't.

    The best Jeezy music often exploited how far he could go with memorable ad libs and punchlines, a triumphant kind of simplicity. Here that gets muted to muddied results.

    Whether the transition marks his last shot at regaining his once dominating presence in the crowded trap-saturated landscape or just Jeezy shifting his purpose and place into a more mature direction, Church in The Streets is a respectable shot at both.

    With only a few guest shots, plus a long track list, newcomers might find this big LP a tough go. Regardless, the ambitious Church in These Streets stands with the man's great Thug Motivation 101 while beating that album on artistic merit and meaningful lyrics.
