CD Reviews / News Mixtape Review: Young Jeezy's "Trap Or Die 2"
Posted By Mike McCray on Tue, May 4, 2010 at 4:45 PM
The Deal: New mixtape from trap rap star temporarily blows up the Internet during lunch breaks today.
The Good: Everything people love about Young Jeezy is on display here. A blend of trunk rattlin' and soulful beats, slick lyrics perfectly balance the shine and the grind. "Lose My Mind" with Plies is so dope, I can completely ignore the fact that Plies is a college-educated man playing a goon. "Ill'in" featuring Clipse is exactly why "cocaine rap" has never gone away. "Ride Wit Me" with Trick Daddy and Scarface preaches the gospel of keeping your crews small and close knit from the mouths of seasoned vets in the game. Also happy to see Jeezy get a couple Shawty Redd beats before the producer was locked up.
The Bad: Repetitive, but so what.
The Verdict: Maybe not the classic the first Trap Or Die was but it definitely blows other recent mixtape releases out of the water. If these are throwaway tracks, imagine how good Thug Motivation 103 is going to be. A helluva prequel you'll hear blaring in traffic every sunny day this summer.
