I was living in New Jersey when TM 101 dropped and I'd ave to admit Hot 97 played Go Crazy (remix) , And Then What, and Trap Star in heavy rotation.

 

[Eastbay510]

I hated Jeezy when he first came out cuz it wasn’t “real hip-hop” I came around though. This shit definitely a classic. Maybe 1 skip on the whole album
