Many artists seclude themselves while recording an album in order to minimize their distractions. Young Jeezy can be counted among that group, as the rapper reportedly locked himself inside producer Shawty Redd’s home for three months to work on Thug Motivation 103.
“I had just got off tour with Jay-Z when Shawty got home,” said Jeezy to GQ Magazine, referring to Redd having posted $200,000 in bail after being held in jail on a murder charge. “I went to his crib, we chopped it up, and finally I said, ‘I’m gonna go home and grab my stuff.’ Shawty was like, ‘Grab what stuff?’ I came back with all my clothes and shit and moved in.”
Jeezy revealed that he hung a flat-screen television in his new bedroom,, and stocked the cupboard with Cinnamon Toast Crunch – his favorite cereal.
Despite initial plans for a June 22 release, which was then changed to September 28, there is no current release date for the album.

Daaaaamn, this is why albums don’t succeed anymore. Artists and Lables push releases back so much people get tired of waiting and just bootleg or download the cd. One reason could be because the artist is hott then they get pushed back and the album sucks because they switched material and the material they once had is not as good as the new material on the album. Jeezy was due in March, “Lose My Mind” was a crazy record that came out March 3rd. Then he got pushed back till June, then July, then August, then again to September and now to no date at all??? Wtf? Look what happened to Plies. He had the club/r&b records on lock, came out with “Becky”, then pushed back for months, took the lead single “Medicine” off the album and barely sold anything.
People download because it’s easy and free with no consequences. Doesn’t matter if the album is delayed or not.
amen thats why music is fucked up now i personally feel artists should stop putting out music cause of shit like downloading
All the delays and pushbacks, by the time the album drops if a nigga aint got no paper, he downloads for free, use to be a time wher albums dropped on the scheduled date so niggas saved they paper for it, but pushing it back, fuck it download it for free
if he locked himself up so long why cant he get enough material to release the album? probably that flat screen television in his room…
Do you realize he just came out in 2005 and is bout to drop his 4th album. And speaking of enough material, he has dropped 3-4 mixtapes in between each album. How much material do you really want. The game done got so messed up that consumers expect an artist to drop an album every 7 months it seem, and then yall want to download it free or get the bootleg. Ain’t no love…
Its gettin pushed back because “All White Everything” and “Jizzle” was weak tracks……
shawty redd destroyed shit on TM101
Locked himself away? Hell, hip-hop should be so lucky. I’m hoping he lost the key and never comes back out. Trash rappers need to disappear from existence.
Lol tru story
If his album sells well, he’ll have to thank the makers of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
1st of All, I dig Jeezy’s music. People and critics is way too harsh. Look at the big picture. Jeezy’s 1st album came out in 2005. It’s 2010, so that means he’s gettin ready to drop his 4th album in 5 years which is a hell of a track record. Not to mention in between each album he has dropped like 3-4 mixtapes full of new material. What the F**k do ya’ll expect from an artist. It’s not easy to drop album after bangin ass album if you want quality. Give the man Some credit. What rappers that came out after 2005 have really been bringin it like Jeezy. I’m talkin bout that sh*t you can really feel. Stop hatin and see what it’s like to really be an artist before you sit up here and critize. Bottom line, he’s made a solid impact. and regardless of all his other work, How many albums can really fu*k with the first Thug Motivation over the past 5 years? Not many, just put it in and listen to the first 5 trax and tell me that ain’t groundbreakin…
Real talk all u hate’n az nic’cas need 2 stop ya’ll publicity intrnet stuntin’.simple mofo’s that’s call being ‘Focus’on goals.Make it intense my nic’ca,4 them cocksucker’s!
Shorty Red on the track……….
I said who dat, who aye aye, SHawDty REdd on the track!
That shit album still gonna trash
lame ass faggot always hatin on a notha motherfucka…. go beat yo meat duck ass punk pussy fuck boi
Locked himself away like his lyrical ability is gonna be “unleashed.” Please. Lyrics are 6 outta ten and will stay 5 outta ten IMO.
You can lock him up in a room w/ Rakim and Premier and it would still be hot shwag. Yeaaaaahhhh!!!!
man he has had plenty of time to polish this album off and they say he was sent thousands of beats to choose from this better be his best work by far or i dont see jeezy lasting much longer, he keep pushing it back cus he keeps putting out weak singles u gotta make this EPIC jeezy this aint just your new album this is 103!! THIS IS A DEFINING MOMENT IN YOUR CARREER
WTF is taking these dudes so long to drop albums!? they’re always getting pushed-back. might as well keep your mouth shut until you get an OFFICIAL date release. but hopefully this album tops TM 101 and 102. shawty redd’s a beast on the beats!! and jeezy the Truth!!!
The Machine needs to stop the bs and put out TM-103. Music Companies are losing money, so they freeze all of our big releases. They dont want to spend the money to promote, point blank.

Jeezy has one thing to worry about. See when he first came out he was the only one that was doin that dumbed down trap rap mainstream (which I like before you all say I’m hatin we all know it’s not lyrical.) He blew the hell up off of it too. Now Gucci Mane got a big ass buzz and he doin the same thing Jeezy doin but Jezzy is on the backburner as far as the streets go cuz this nigga Gucci is heavy right now. He locked himself in the crib cuz he know he got that competion now so he need to get focused. All White Everything and Jizzle is not enough to make the label put it out. That was at best Mixtape Jeezy not album shit though. I think we shouild hear a solid album from him though. 103!!!
The Critic
Jeezy waaaaay better than Gucci. Fuck “goofy mane” he sucks its noooo comparison it aint even close. Jeezy been one of the most relevant rappers ever since Soul fukkin Surviver” TM101 and 102 were da shit. Most albums got 2-4 hot trax and evrything else is brushed off. Jeezy gets like 5-10 hot trax. All his music is real shit. Gucci rap about Trappin thats it. Jeezy made songs like Trapstar, Dreamin, Put On, Sky’s The Limit, Air Forces (Hottest Song by him IMO) see theres nothing gucci mane ever made that comes CLOSE to those. Jeezy ona whole other level
you locked yourself up. A very good plan. So stay there and never come out.
lame music from the “hood” promoting poverty and ignorance is cool!
whack as ever…welcome to the “trap” do you understand how silly yall sound???
“Peruvian cocaine”-by immortal technique can further illustrate the real story behind drugs…”yall niggas think yall hold blocks, these niggas got whole countries on lock”
dumb bafoons!
lmaooo i agree with this dude! that immortal tech song is crazy. sad thing is a lot of people dont even know who technique is. you would dig my boys rhymes he dont glorify dumb ignorant shit cehck him out thumbs up or thumbs down keep it real
if you tired of the bullshit simpleton lyrics with no depth or character at all check this new guy out

You niggas can’t be posting links to Immortal Tech here, you’ll give a nigga seizure when they listen to that! But in any case, Jeezy locked away for 3 months? I hope “Jizzle” isn’t one of the songs from those 3 months….

I fucks with Jeezy, at first he was on just that simple metaphor trap shit then he stepped his game up with every album. The Recession is still hot now. Trap or Die 2 should have been his album. I think Jeezy is about to switch it up on them like he did on Recession. He be around Hov too much to be on that ol’ ignorant trap shit every song now. He gave Gucci a style to run with and that nigga still wack. Rick Ross poppin in the street now and that nigga ain’t even platinum yet. I don’t know about ya’ll but as a person from the hood I’m embarrassed by that bullshit that be coming out of Waka and Gucci raps. I mean can these dudes even have reading comprehension. Do they understand the bullshit coming outta they mouth half the time?
no one is from the hood you are from your mother and father dont let the geographical location in which luck brought you to dictate the individual you are. Even though you are a product of your environment you are NOT limited to it!
