Before They Were Stars: Boyz In The Hood - Dem Boyz

[5th Letter]

Young Jeezy’s mainstream debut before any of his solo music took off. What are y’all thoughts on this record.

 

[Infamous114]

"Plus the weatherman said there's a light chance for snow". Track went hard.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I'm pretty sure Jeezy had his own buzz before that song came out.

 

[Duwop]

this was like the rap version of destiny's child... just much much much much shorter...

we all knew who the star was....

I'm pretty sure Jeezy had his own buzz before that song came out.

It was his FIRST mainstream appearance. There is literally nothing to debate about that.

He was the breakout rapper but star is a stretch

man jody breeze should've been a bigger rapper than he was

 

[T. Sanford]

man jody breeze should've been a bigger rapper than he was

Everybody look over his part because of Jeezy's appearance but Breeze killed his verse.

Big Gee was that nigga for a minute too. Niggas in the city used to ride to his music back then

 

[AP3.0]

jody had a FIRE mixtape after this that was hosted by jazze pha

i cant find it anywhere

 

[5th Letter]

Like wasn’t Jody Breeze already semi known before this though or am I misremembering?

 

[BRIAN B.]

We'll swap it out


Jeezy had my city on lock round trap or die/tm101

 

[wadupdoe!313]

My nigga from atl told me that Jody was from Griffin about an hr outside the city. He was on some arrogant shit thinking he would be bigger than jeezy and the city was never riding for jody

 

[RozayTabernacle]

Didn't Diddy convince Jeezy to stay for that first album even though he already had a solo deal and album on the way? At least that's what I remember hearing back in the day

 

[genocide_cutter]

I remember this song

 

[RozayTabernacle]

lol they literally dropped the boyz n da hood album 1 month before jeezy's solo

 

[5th Letter]

lol they literally dropped the boyz n da hood album 1 month before jeezy's solo

And this single dropped before And Then What too.

 

[Goldie]

Never fucked with this joint

 

[grYmes]

I remember in XXL they were trying to hype them up as 2000’s NWA.. smh. Other than that one hot single it was clear Jeezy was bigger than the group.

 

[RozayTabernacle]

this song isn't even that dope in hindsight

 

[AP3.0]

lost in all this was how Diddy tried to create Bad Boy South

you can add this the list of reasons of how hip hop fell on a decline
