Young Jeezy claims his second chart-topper on the Billboard 200 as "The Recession" starts at No. 1 this week. The Def Jam set moved 256,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, 92,000 short of the 352,000-unit start for his previous No. 1, 2006's "The Inspiration."

Meh, sounds like every other Jeezy song, which is good if you like this type of song. I personally can't get into his voice or his asides in the background.

not bad, but it does sound simular to every thing else on the album. tracks 1-5 all sound the same IMO.

Still jeezy is one of the better rappers in the game right now. He is real, thats what makes him a pro.

If you dont like the song, just say it. So when I see you hypin up a song you like, I'm commenting right behind you to ask you "why you on **whoever's** dick)

I THINK THE RECESSION IS A CLASSIC IN THE MAKIN.
SINCE DAY ONE JEEZY BEEN THE SAME PERSON, NEVER SWITCHIN UP, AND STAYING TRUE TO WHAT MADE HIM WHO HE IS.
UNLIKE EVERYBODIES FAVORITE INDUSTRY WHORE (do i really have to say his name ppl) LOL

I'M JUST KIDDIN

LET'S GET IT:THUG MOTIVATION 101- CRACK

MY FAV- GO CRAZY

THE INSPIRATION:THUG MOTIVATION 102- CRACK

MY FAV-DREAMIN'

THE RECESSION- MY SHIT

I'M STUCK ON WORD PLAY

But honestly that track "Done It" Harder than a bitch

"Magic City, Onyx, Strokers, Chevy's, Benz, Rarri's, Porches
You aint never seen a nigga like me this focused and i done it all in a pair of airforces"

I will cosign this.

The Recession is the album of the year, by the way, and the past 5 years in my opinion, by the way. I find myself bumping this album from end to end all day, by the way.

Seriously. The Recession is a 5 MICS album on the old school Source scale. It should be rereleased later with more tracks once it becomes successful. Once people hear it, they will agree that for now, Jeezy is that n*****.

I used to not like Jeezy, but I've crossed over hardcore.

This aptly named Album has strong themes and intense imagery. Jeezy is rich but he can really paint the picture of people strggling through this recession.
