FADER TV: Young Jeezy Talks About The Recession

THE FADER

“When times are hard, reach for that card,” went the slogan of the fictional weed delivery service in Half Baked. Young Jeezy doesn’t have a card (at least not one he was willing to exchange with us), but he has a monumental album called the The Recession dropping September 2nd that he’s hoping will provide some type of relief and/or advice for those being hit the hardest in these times. When we sat down with him recently, Jeezy was as candid as we’ve ever seen, explaining what his album means to the state of the union, how he used to hate rappers, and even how Sade´ made him want to be a “Smooth Operator.”
