    Whatever the reason, Seen It All: The Autobiography shakes off all the challenges of Jeezy's lesser releases and finds new inspiration from the same old rap sheet.

    Seen It All: The Autobiography is a solid offering, and shows growth of Tha Snowman who is 10 years deep in the rap game.

    On his seventh studio album, however, he’s reinvigorated, dipping a toe into some of rap’s newer stylistic trends.

    On the whole though, while it might not be a classic, Seen It All will go down in hip-hop history as yet another dope album from an artist who's had an enormous (although under-rated) impact on rap.

    A strong collection full of vintage, uncompromising Atlanta bangers.

    At its very best, Seen It All is a glimpse into how Jeezy can make his living on the back nine in a crowded subgenre with no use for him anymore: By recalling the most chilling details of his drug dealing past with a flashback-like crispness.

    This is a strong, if unimaginative album.

    The usual Jeezy tropes of hustling and encouraging others to also hustle haven't gone anywhere — the rote "Been Getting Money (featuring Akon)" could be plopped on any Jeezy album and no one would notice--but there's a heap of real-life wisdom here, too.

    His voice remains a powerful, if inexpressive, instrument--like a gong, or something--but it feels out of place in the fraught electric guitars of “1-4 Block,” or the Mike Will Made It psychedelia of “4 Zones.”

    He tends to repeat himself and his punchlines lack punch--but Seen It All is an album you can listen to start to finish and not hate yourself for buying it.

If nothing else, Jeezy has proven that he's consistently good. He's never released an album recognized as great, but he's also never put out a record anything less than above average. I enjoyed this album, and there are several songs that I'll be revisiting for a long time. ~ 7.7/10
    Deluxe edition: 7.3/10

    Best songs:
    ~ "Seen It All" (feat. Jay Z): Jeezy is good, the production is exceptional, and Jay Z delivers an honest, masterful, hype-af-for-real-rap-fans verse.
    ~ "Holy Ghost"
    ~ "Me OK"    … Full Review »

I have listened to much of Jeezy's discography and, honestly, I never truly loved him. He has a lot of great songs do not get me wrong, but I never found an album of his that truly clicked for me until now. There are a few tracks here I did not love, but even then, there is nothing here that sticks out like a sore thumb among these tracks. Throughout, Jeezy's flow and delivery are good and the production throughout is on point. Truly, one of the bigger surprises for me of late and one I can certainly see myself pulling up later on to listen to.… Full Review »
