WesM.Sep 8, 2008I don't know... I thought the beats were serviceable but unremarkable and the rhymes remarkably weak. On the other hand, most everyone I've spoken with has RAVED about the album, so it's probably worth a shot if you've enjoyed any of Jeezy's previous work and singles.

Even if it falls a distant third out of the first three, the scattershot Recession is still a welcome and even risky step forward, one carried by its highlights and the newfound awareness that the cocaine grind isn't everything.

Young Jeezy balances commercial/ pop aspirations with core hip-hop sounds on The Recession, getting a lift from DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, Midnight Black and longtime collaborator Shawty Redd on this sonically enjoyable follow-up to 2006's "The Inspiration."

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.
