When asked by MTV News who he thought was the hottest in the game at the moment, New York rapper Saigon chose Young Jeezy.
“I think Jeezy did his thing. There’s dudes that built their careers talking about hustling—because that’s pretty much all they know since thats how they came up. Sometimes I think it could be a little less forceful but the reason I picked Jeezy, is because he came in on his own lane as far as the sound.”
“He made the adlib game real popular, now you see everyone doing it. Jim Jones is doing it, Uncle Murda’s doing it alot. His adlibs mean more than the actual track, and I see alot of people bit his swagger, took that shit and ran with it, so I give him his props.”

i fucks wit this nigga
Jeezy? He's hot right now.. (no homo), but he ain't the hottest. I'm not a big Lil Wayne fan but he is. Either him or 50.
50 cant rap
This shit ain't about rapping you Dipset groupie.. it's about who's the HOTTEST RIGHT now.
lol Jeezy? he cant be serious
Yeah i read it twice to make sure he said Young Jeezy! He had to be high! or hungover! lol
Didn't see that one coming but he kinda has a point. People have been running rampant biting the "ad-lib" game of Jeezy. This is about who’s hot today though.
WAYNE IZ DA BEST RIGHT NOW TOMORROW FOREVER DESPITE WUT HE DO
HIS FLOW ALWAYS COLD
this faggot added 'DESPITE WHAT HE DO AT THE END OF HIS COMMENT'
his favorite rapper turned homo and he is still on his dick despite what he do

saigon got a point. i dont think a lot of people think of jeezy that way. even wayne jacked the yaa digg
and by even i mean not suprisingly
hha they gon hate that
You Need to go and listen to that OLD CASH MONEY. Niggas been saying Ya Digg in New Orleans since the Mid 90's.
Also Saigon is Reachin...
Jeezy is puttin up numbers but he aint an MC!...
saigon choosin jeezy cuz of his adlibs is just plain retarted, even though jeezy is cool
now criteria on this would be who sells more records, who has the sickest flow, and who lyrics are the best.
who do you guys think?
personally i think its kanye
After his last album Talib has to be the hottest at the moment.
^^^^^Now I wasnt about to say nothing about the Talib comment because he's one of my favorite of all time but YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT OF THE WHOLE DAMN ARTICLE lol! Its about who's hot today! Man Talib is my guy but he ain't poppin all over the place like Jeezy and Wayne....hell even Kanye for that matter. Its cold but its true.
yeah but he released the best album so far this year,and i think it will be the best hip hop album of 2007.you can't say he ain't hot today.
he's not the hottest if he cant sell shit.... haha, shit, niggas like Mr. pop lock drop it more hotter than talib right na.... yea he's dope, but his career is in the freezer right now
50 is the hottest he done more then anybody in te rap game since 2003
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Cosign!
Jim Jones has used adlibs all over his tracks long before Young Jeezy was around.

YES HE TALKS ABOUT DRUGS AND HUSTLIN A LIL TOO MUCH, BUT AT LEAST HES TELLING THE TRUTH AND HES MAKING HIT RECORDS SOMETHING YALL FAVORITE RAPPERS" LIL WAYNE " AINT DOING. LIL WAYNE IS A MUSIC WHORE, GETTING ON A TRACK WITH ANYONE , EVEN NIGGAZ WHO WORSHIP THE DEVIL " BONE THUGS AND HARMONY ". COMMON NOW. AND ALL THEM TATOOS WAYNE HAS ISNT THAT A LIL WEIRD!? UR NOT SUPPOSE TO HAVE ANY TATOOS AT ALL IF YOUR A CHRISTIAN OR MUSLIM.
HYPOCRIT ASS NIGGAZ. STILL GOT LOVE FOR WAYNE BECAUSE OF HIS WORK ETHIC, BUT HE NEED TO CHANGE UP HIS STYLE. ALL OF HIS SONGZ ARE MEANING LESS, THEY HAVE NO MEANING , I CANT SEE WHY YALL DICKRIDING. MOST OF ALL HE KISSES BABY IN THE MOUTH!! HES ON THAT " M.O.B. SHIT "IN THE MOB, IF YOU KISS SOMEONE IN THE MOUTH, THEY SUPPOSE TO OFF U!! NOT PRAISE IT!...WAKE UP!! START LISTEN 2 REAL NIGGAZ LIKE JEEZY, SAIGON, PAPOOSE,ALI VEGAS, 50 cent, Juelz santana, and some others. Those are real lyrisist!

Young jeezy aka the ninja turtle is ok but definitely not the hottest. he get props for the ablib thing but in every song he say's the same thing; you have to be more versatile.
Yeah since when did Jeezy's ablibs mean more than a actual track. Lets get it. Yeeeeeeeeeah Eh. Personally if he wanted to say something about ablibs Ross has hot ablibs there more than one word make thesong better. But hottest today. I would say Wayne cause he is everywhere. or 50.
Saigon is sweet but Jeezy? Jeezy sucked on the insperation and that usda bullshit i respect saigon but jeezy fell off
ya niggas forgot bout Eminem...Game....Kanye....Lupe....luda...Juel...cassidy
Jeezy is not even close! He sells but nah stop it Saigon! I dont even like Saigon! Matter fact my motto is "Who The Fuck Is Saigon?"
whos ravenh20 is what sai would say too
na man saigon is good,some of his shit is weak tho,but its just like papoose;after a while everything sounds the same.
Jeezy is who this man think is hot rite now. He aint speakin 4 every1 else jus himself so dont take dat shit 2 da heart
JEEZY IS ONE THE FEW RAPPERS THAT ARE CONSISTENT. AD-LIBS OR NOT. YOU CAN'T HATE ON THE FACT THAT HE MAKING MONEY. AT LEAST HE ISN'T ONE OF THOSE RAPPERS THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER IS KILLING HIP HOP. HE SELLS RECORDS. CONSISTENTLY!!!
I mean I fucks wit Jeezy but Almost every COMMERCIAL AKA TV RELATED track weezy is on is Number 1 ex. Make it rain, You, Anything he's on by (himself) Etc....
and only reason UH oh not gonna be number 1 is cuz its JA RULE (LOL) REAL talk
Dont fuckin flame me for this shit listen to what Im sayin first then THINK ABOUT IT then make a REPLY which I wish every1 actually tried to do on this site....
dis nigga dont no wat he talikn bout, jim jones aint bite jeezy!
i think u guys r fuckin up wat sai is sayin. i think he feels in the past couple years jeezy is someone who significantly changed the sound of hip. he had a his own sound and wasnt bitin anyone.
and ya jim jones bite jeezy he say ballin on every fuckin track like jeezy says yeahh and i aint on jeezys dick i dont necesarrily agree with saigon and my name has nothing to do wit the snowman
he didnt say anything about bein most talented
YOUNG JEEZY LEGEND LIL WAYNE BEST RAPPER ALIVE NIGGA
