Young Jeezy : The Recession

I love Young Jeezy....but this will NOT be a biased review. It took me a while to get around to actually listening to all of The Recession, but I finally did it! It starts out pretty good with the intro and the track "Welcome Back". Welcome Back screams "WE UP IN THIS BITCH!" every time I here it....I just LOVE IT! But then it immediately goes DOWN HILL with the third track "By The Way." This shit is just too repetitive....to the point of blinding annoyance! But it gets better...."Circulate" is a song with a very unique but not well known sample about the power of the DOLLA DOLLA BILL YA'LL! "Circulate" is actually my current ring tone, I downloaded it as sooooon as I heard the joint on a mixtape....FIRE! And then of course there is a joint up here for the LADIES.....w/the very talented Trey Songz entitled "Take It There." This track is really good which isn't a surprise seeing as how Songz is on it, he's no T-Pain but he does make a hot track every now and again. Overall I would rate the whole album about a 3.5 STARS on a scale of 5. I understand we're going through a recession and he's trying to relate, but I have a hard time believe that Jeezy is REALLY STRUGGLING out here in the streets, I'm just SAYIN'!
