It's not the average people that come to my show.
With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.
I feel like I'm married to what I do, to the streets. And I feel like when the streets are mad, it's serious.
You seen my shows; I bring the 'hood out.
It definitely changed the game. I happen to be in the game around [the time] when the internet kicked in.
I don't think nobody should compare me to anyone, 'cause, at the end of the day, you've got a 'Pac, you've got Snoop, you got Tip, you got Wayne - there's only one Jeezy, man. Ain't nobody walked in these shoes but me.
This rap game is just WWF; everybody wants points off somebody else.
I always try to go back and check my old stuff. It's like watching the tapes of the game. You want to go back and go as hard as before.
I felt it was necessary. I never ever paid attention to any election. Not really [into] politics or anything like that. It never benefited us. This time around, it's not a black-or-white thing — you got somebody in there for us that's well-spoken and gonna handle their business. I just wanted to do my part and let them know we need change, we need help, it's rough out there.
I've got to pay $5 for gas just like everybody else.
I'm a motivational speaker.
Sam Jackson is like the Jeezy of Hollywood: He's for his people.
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.
Music is how you feel. But if I can say one word, I'll say 'necessary.' I felt it was necessary.
I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.
Honestly, I'm on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.
All my albums always go with the times.
There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.
It wasn't necessary to speak on the recession, you know what I mean, but I just though it made a lot of sense. I was like, "okay, cool," I'm going to go with this approach for the name of the album [ The Recession].
The craziest thing is that the song ["My President"] is real but you can still hear it in the club.
