With the release of “F.A.M.E.,” Young Jeezy discusses a similar topic Fat Joe discussed years earlier, with his own twist on the acronym. The topic of envy is one that comes up often for Jeezy on his track with T.I. and the two recently spoke with MTV about what the song means to them individually.
“I wanted to let them know ‘Fake-Ass Motherfuckers Envy,’ because they really do, and I just wanted to go in like that,” Jeezy noted before explaining how the song differs from his usual work and lyrical content. “The song to me meant a lot, because I don’t normally talk about how I feel and what’s going on in my world.”
T.I. also shares his feelings on the track. The single features T.I. discussing the legal woes he’s overcome and the criticism he’s had to face.
“It’s an honest interpretation of where I am mentally and how I feel about others volunteering their opinion on my circumstances without having full knowledge,” T.I. added. “I felt that it was appropriate when I listened to it. It musically said everything that I wanted to say verbally. I felt that it was a perfect meeting of the minds.”

The “People keep hating on me” line is getting old. When you’re growing up your parents told you not to tease a dog with food cause the dog would eventually bite you….The same applies to human beings. When rappers stand on tv, strip clubs and wherever throwing money and teasing people with what they have then people will bite back at them. It’s not “hate”…It’s a natural reaction that every living mammal on this planet experiences.
