The beats are very well produced and Jeezy’s flow is unique compared to a lot of the other MCs out there. Almost every 2 lines he has to throw in a “yeeeaah” or something else to that effect making the album seem very polished and less raw. Another flaw with the album is the use of over dubbing. If he would have cut out the five-six filler tracks, it would have made a bigger impact. But its Jeezys charismatic centerhis growling vocals and brash personalitythat electrified. The main flaw of this album is that it is seventy-five minute long with nineteen tracks. Atlanta MC Young Jeezy’s 2005 debut studio album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, helped reorient the genre to a new Southern capital and shifted street raps sound toward the metallic horror film symphonies of producers like Shawty Redd. While the track is good on its own, it isn’t that worthy of an album closer. The beat changes from a keyboard to a scrunchy type section, then the beat drops for the chorus and a heavy synth picks up leaving you in an eerie place. It is basically stating that you couldn’t walk a mile in his Air forces. and Lil Scrappy which also has a nice nicely produced military-esque beat to it. The instrumental on this track is great it has an uplifting type atmosphere to it that you can hum to, it also induces slow head bobbing. “Trap Star” is a trumpet based song, and is one of the strongest tracks on the album. It utilizes the classic stomp, stomp, clap rhythm at parts, with a pretty catchy chorus. The tracks leading up to “And then What” is strong, honestly who didn’t like this track. Afterwards, “Standing Ovation” starts up with a synth-based instrumentals and the sound of an audience clapping while throughout the track Jeezy claims he is the trap. The title track (also opening track) has a stop and go motion, he says his verse then everything goes soft, with audio from a microwave in the background further explain why he is dubbed the snow man. Once the verse starts, Young Jeezy is already in the kitchen working two pots. The album opens with a piano melody and Jeezy going with a Soft “heeey”. The guest appearances include Mannie Fresh, Jay-Z, Trick Daddy, Young Buck, T.I., Lil Scrappy, Akon, and a few others. The instrumentals are mainly focused on the synths and bass thumps which actually give some of the tracks an epic feeling. They don’t call him the snowman for nothing. His lyrics are usually about the usual stuff money, drugs, alittle about girls, drugs, bling, and drugs. His lyricism is enough to label him above average lyricist. He actually pulls out the slow flow is pretty good most of the time. It usually has a slow “Yeaaaah” or an “Ayeeee!” and even a “Thaaats Riiight” accompanying his flow. The length of the album is about seventy-five minutes and it is littered with Jeezy’s slow raspy rapping. He shortly left that group to release this album. He was part of the rap quartet Boyz N Da Hood. He then got taken under the wing of Puff Daddy, who actually thinks he still got street cred. Prior to this major-label debut, he released two independent albums since 2001. This is Young Jeezy’s major-label debut, “Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101”. This is one of the albums I am going to put on. Partial list of benefactors: Mannie Fresh, Trick Daddy, Young Buck, Bun B, Akon, Shawty Redd, ColliPark, Jazze Pha.At times I just want to sit back and relax, listening to some slow hood-esque music. Like Boyz N da Hood, the album was made as if crunk never happened. A definite product of the South, it's apparent throughout Let's Get It that his claim of being raised by the group UGK and the label No Limit is no joke. More a businessman than a traditional MC, his boasts are either deliberately pronounced or mush-mouthed and are often stamped with a druggy "Aaaayy!" Far from the South's best MC, he nonetheless makes up for it with his storytelling ability and obvious desire to inspire hard work, even if the "million dollar dreams" are followed by "federal nightmares." His mentality is almost permanently stuck on monetary gain, whether he's talking about moving "white" (his nickname is Snowman) or doing whatever necessary to keep up appearances. His prominence has come hard and fast (and not without a fair share of controversy), but in truth, he has been active in the underground since the mid-'90s.
Boyz N da Hood hit the Top Five the week it was released, and Young Jeezy - the group's most visible member - wound up releasing Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 only a month later. A sequence of events juggled the release dates for Boyz N da Hood's first album (issued on Bad Boy) and Young Jeezy's own widely distributed breakout (issued on Def Jam).
