Zitat des Tages von Young Jeezy:
I think I got a lot of life skills; I got a lot of wisdom; I've seen a lot of bad things happen to a lot of good people.
You gotta have life your way. If you ain't losing your mind, you ain't partying right.
People who work every day are kind of scared of things they don't understand.
John McCain... looks like a fraud to me.
I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.
This rap game is just WWF; everybody wants points off somebody else.
When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I'ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain't gon' make it no more.
My hustle is nonstop. I never stop hustling.
Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain't productive, I get concerned.
When you're trying to bring the streets into rap to prove a point, then you already lost. You separate the two, and that ain't to be played with. You've got people that lost their lives and people that are doing real time. If we gon' make music, let's just make music.
Politics isn't only about government. Politics is about the people.
I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.
I, and others like me - trap stars - we always considered ourselves Robin Hoods: we go out and get the money. Just think, if you was in the village and you a hunter, you take pride in going out to hunt the prey and bring it back for the village to eat. In our situation, we took pride in getting money so that the hood could eat.
I never ever paid attention to any election.
I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.
Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.
I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.
With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.
To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there - and bigger.
Anything that looks good makes you feel better.
In middle school, I had an '87 Regal. That was unheard of.
I don't know how to be a rapper. I just know how to be me.
Music is how you feel.
All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.
I'ma continue to make records, continue to make hits, continue to be what I am, legendary.
When you a ghetto star, when you a hood star, you gonna take care of your grandmother, your mother. When you on that next level, you gotta take care of the city, the streets.
It's not the average people that come to my show.
I've got to pay $5 for gas just like everybody else.
I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It's, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you've got something. Nobody's putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.
