“I was a boy in the ‘hood before I ever knew Puffy, bitch,” spits Young Jeezy right from the jump-off on his latest pre-TM:103 hype-stoking mixtape “The Real Is Back 2.” The boast is Jeezy in capsule form: The content in his raps still hails from the trap, but now he spits his stories of slangin’ from a superstar status. But while your favorite trapper’s most favored rapper’s upcoming Def Jam project will call on a bigger budget and bring in his new A-list rap pals, the 11-track short “Real Is Back 2” sounds like Jeezy distilled down to his dopest best. From the brooding opener “Trump” 
with its talk of “niggas pulling home invasions” to the marginally more introspective closer, “Real Nigga Anthem,” the mixtape unravels as a concentrated blast of Jeezy’s street sermons layered over productions patched together from the triple threat of beastly bass-lines, searing snares, and sinister synth lines. At under 45 minutes, it’s an undeniable ride.
Beyond “The Real Is Back 2’s” buzz-building function though, it also introduces the subplot of Freddie Gibbs’ role in the CTE empire. Granted verse time on a quartet of tracks, the blend of Gibbs and Jeezy works stylistically, with the Gary gangsta’s fleeter flow often flipping into double time and embellishing Jeezy’s economic and guttural voice to smart effect. But too often Gibbs still sounds like a rapper yet to find the voice he’s comfortable with. As singular in subject matter as Jeezy’s trap raps can be, he always sounds like he believes what he’s spitting, even when he’s one-upping Kanye by claiming to use “Louis Vuitton toilet paper.” In his new mentor’s shadow though, Gibbs still veers between wanting to establish himself as a new generation Scarface who pens nuanced gangsta narratives and going with his baser, street-centered instincts. His contributions here don’t offer a solution, but at least rolling with CTE will give Gibbs the benefit of a consistent production sound.
But Gibbs is just the secondary story here, and “The Real Is Back 2” comfortably underscores the strength of Jeezy’s all platinum rap formula. The only drawback? Someone’s yet to invent an app to surgically remove DJ Drama’s voice from mixtapes.
DX Consensus: “EP-worthy”
Listen to Young Jeezy The Real Is Back 2

Liked this and the first one. Hope def jam release this album
Hope you know the album has already been postponed #trash Young Yeezy
alright if it got postponed i have plenty of jizzle to hold me over while i wait. like i said i hope def jam release the album, whether its 9/20 or wheneva. Your negativity is not needed. and Def Jam never changed the date
@Micah , you have plenty of jizzie to hold u over? sounds like you need a towel to wipe off the jizzie. gay porn must be a rough job
lmao, did you just refer to Young Jeezy as jizzle? that sounds terrible haha

follow me @therealWHOA
jeezy killed it on this one, good call
Review L.A.B.O.R., the true Hip Hop shit and not this.
jeezy been dropping hot music all year long… TM103 gonn abe a classic!!!!
I have a lot of respect for Jeezy as a person, but I just find his lyrics to be plain mediocre.
Same with Game.
I Tell You Tha Truth
Tha real is back
Real fake at that
You may have cooked crack,
made a couple of stackz
But, a “G†in tha real streetz
Fool you’re not that
Rappin’ don’t make you real,
jus because someone squeeze the trigger,
don’t mean they’ll kill
Loyalty is to die fo’
I recognize you read that
Now Duncan Blocc raised you
Tha truth lies,
you’re a fake image of the Gangsta Mac
Real hood dwellerz in tha city don’t respect that
I Tell You Tha Truth
You rap clownz fabricate so many lies in tha booth
You can shake the light,
but fool you can’t shake tha truth
Now you got DJ Drama shoutin out
Pookie Loc(L.I.P.) name in tha booth
“B†fo’ real
Oh, I forgot you can’t “C†fo’ real
One minute you don’t know tha Loccishmen
Yet, when tha realitytruth
Loyalty is to die fo’ spoke on your fake sins
Now it’s love for my love one again
Your lyrics express you have no love jus loyalty
Loyalty is to die fo’ free versed
Love is tha strength that bondz loyalty
For those that run behind you,
in tha real streetz that’z fake juice
You know what’s up with me,
it’s reputable on minez and real I define
This is not a dis,
jus tha blue blooded truth
I Tell You Tha Truth
You rap clownz fabricate so many lies in tha booth
Sleezy this is tha real Gangsta Mac,
Mu’Cunja Jungle is where gangbang rumbles enact
Tha city helped you climb tha rap scene
Now you’re emulating our Loccish image
Your locness is blemished
Tha Mac Town is hard liquor,
very hard to swallow
Your style is like a woman, who ass wallow
Telling Luc Rugah to transcribe loccishably hardcore,
due to tha Byrd Gang and more knoccin at your door
You didn’t morph from tha gangbang,
so it’s evident you don’t know how to loc-tain
BloodRaw know you fake kick it,
so he moved his plate
Don’t insinuate your fame I hate
This realitypoem was transcribed,
so tha real street “G’z†can relate
If it wasn’t for Pookie Loc (L.I.P.) demise
this realitypoem wouldn’t have your heart skippin a beat
My loccish brotha lost his life,
being loyal to your beef
Yet, you can’t see to it his youngstas forever eat
That’s not real street
Now everytime you get beef
You call on tha Gangsta Mac entourage for your defeat
Even tha DVD you shot in Mu’Cunja Jungle
is not of truth- you’re fake all tha way thru’
Wanting cred from tha real streetz,
as though you actually hanged and banged
Tha truth is you came thru,
but on a scavenger hunt that’s not of truth
It’s morelike you’re the hunted,
now that’s tha thorough truth
Thus, I can care less about your fame,
as a blackman continue doin’ your thang
Likewise,
as a LoccishMen your locness is fake game
I Tell You Tha Truth
You rap clowns fabricate so many lies in tha booth
Sleezy you’re actin’ like a breezy
Jealous of Rick Ross rappin about blowin’ money fast
Are you mad that your rappin time has passed
You should’ve been a good businessman,
and brought out your C.T.E. cohorts
You want all tha shine,
you dared to let your lyrical artist shine
Roccet C’walked
BloodRaw left to successfully incline
Luc Rugah didn’t even get put on tha rap frontline
Sleezy you’re a front,
who like to hold artists back
Even your bodyguard turned his back,
due to you not wanting to pay for your armor of protection
I am no rapper
These are jus realitytruth spokenworded facts
Business is business,
but after taxes where you at
A good businessman knows,
he must invest in his acts
Don’t think I am in your pocket
This is jus some game,
from a businessman with facts
I am on one with mines,
as I financially incline
Financial literacy got me intact
From tha pen to tha streetz
Expect me soon,
tha Loccishmen MR. BIGMANN is back
FO’LOCCISH (Forever Loccish)
I Tell You Tha Truth
You rap clowns fabricate so many lies in tha booth

can u not type like that and just spell the word correctly without puttin parenthesis on them and all that other stuff, wut the fuck do they mean
Damn, callin out names. Does it ever end? A real nigga would do what he got to do and keep it moving instead of taking time to focus on ruining another mans cred. And i fucked with bloodraw from Tally- ho, he was a real nigga but he was neva gonna blow, nor any of them niggas from Boyz n the Hood. Except, well Jodi. Jeezy been doin his thang for sometime and now that there aint a team no more, well fill in the blanks. Maybe I’m speakin outta turn, but shit nigga its the web! Call that nigga up… real recognize real
Now a nigga back on his shit nothing can touch me, I can buy 116 bricks move to Kentucky, might buy a big house on the hill, might buy a farm, bitch I’m im buy so many watches might buy a arm. lol The hardest mixtape this year. 5 Stars
Fire
real is back #1 is better
yes i agree
yea
I second that!
I third that. There are some good tracks on TRIB2, but the intro on the RIB1 just set the standard for this series.
Enough talk Jeezy, we’ve waited LONG enough. show us TM103 or every day from now on is me losing a lil respect for his word. no doubt it’s gonna be fire, but hurry up already.
s’cute though
His album will sell about 20k.
Who the hell cares?
Yo All Of Jeezy’s Albums Went Multi Platinum So 20k? Nah Bruh Go Back To Listening To Gucci An Fall Back Slime
garbage trash day
did they put the big 2 like that and in that font so it looks like a 2pac album from a distance?
I will never be able to take this seriously ever again, thank you.
I Like the mixtape but…..WHERE THE FUCK IS TM 103?
I stopped checking for Jeezy since his first album and I thought this was going to bring me back over…nope
If you saying this mixtape is weak, you obviously are 1. Young and DUMB 2. Probably would say “Wacka and Gucci are better or 3. You simply have never HUSTLED, and due to that fact you don’t understand 95% of the mixtape!!!
I guess I didn’t understand hustling. I just didn’t like the beats loved the intro and outro though.
Production had that same type of beats these as my neighborhood mixtape rappers in my town. Jeezy comes in though more power to the people that understand trapping cause lord knows Rick Ross, and Wayne have turned it into a gimmick for white kids. lol
#SMDH
Jeezy is da Realest dis will hold me over till TM 103
lol @ the choice of Birdman as a feature.
yup
yup..103
The Real is Back 2 is the TRUTH !!!
5/5
