Young Jeezy Cares None About Gucci Mane & Rick Ross, Just New Rap Songs

Rapper Young Jeezy has been the topic of many headlines related to the 2012
BET Hip Hop Music Awards. Caught in a 30 second shoving match, where Rick Ross was pushed by
his security detail, the rapper isn't phased. Remaining quiet about the matter for two weeks,
Jeezy finally opened up about the incident on Los Angeles radio show, Big Boy's Neighborhood.
"So What happened between Young Jeezy's Team and ..ughhh.. Rick Ross" asks the radio show host,
Big Boy.
Jeezy replies "I mean first of all, it was a great awards show. Umm, I mean basically it was just a
good show to me. I went there and got down with Wiz (Khalifa), it was cool, you know we did our thing.
So in the hallway, you know we walking out.. whatever, whatever... so me and him never really
seen each other, you know... Face to Face... For real For real. And umm, you know, I just felt like
he spoke, i Spoke .. and that was basically it. But at the end of the day, it's been
going on a while and I just felt like if it was to be handled, it should be handled there."
A detailed response, it was obvious Jeezy was trying to remain professional through the explanation.
As an new executive at Atlantic Records, he's obviously looking to keep his mogul image
in tact.
He continued about the Rick Ross 'fight' in a sum-up statement. Jeezy continued with
Big Boy saying "So in my words, I just feel like a lot of these cats are Actors, Rappers, &
I'm Jeezy. You know what I'm saying? They can never be me"
Referring to his gangster past, the Atlanta rap star is accurate with the statement. From the
school of hard-knocks, Jeezy's struggle before rap was much different than Rick Ross and
Gucci Mane.
When speaking of Gucci Mane to Big Boy, the rapper said "Everybody know that boy retarded man...
Ain't nobody taking him seriously. You know he got an ice cream cone on his face, lets be for real."
Before going too far into re-fried beef, Jeezy stops himself talking about Gucci Mane. The
Atlanta rapper continues, "I'm not going back. I'm going forward."
The interview with Big Boy goes on but Jeezy's statements on the rivalry, are enough said.
Born in one of the most dangerous cities in the South, Macon-Georgia, he did not
have the opportunity to attend college and was a known gang banger. Still he's made his way
into the corporate offices of Atlantic Records, as a respected black business man.
Compared to his rivals, fans of Hip Hop can't deny the rapper's organic struggle as a youth and past.
Young Jeezy's hometown of Macon was so gang influenced, that at one point in the
early 2000's, police would warn tourists of danger. It was not a wise idea to have bandanna
in a car window nor be at Macon's largest mall with anything that looked too gang oriented. Only
recently have police said the violence is dying down [ click here ].
Young Jeezy's rivals, Gucci Mane and Rick Ross are quite different. Both were able to attend
college on earned scholarships. A far contrast from their dope-dealing, kill or be killed,
rap images. Though one must keep in mind rap is entertainment, their public appearances
always seem to be looking to push a lifestyle of a struggling, resource-less, inner-city youth.
Rick Ross attended Albany State University. Rated one of the most beautiful campuses in
the United States, the Maybach Music boss earned a football scholarship to the school. He
dropped out and moved back into his mother's house, where he became a jail/prison
correction's officer.
Gucci Mane attended Lawson State College in Birmingham, Alabama according to
TheDJholla.com.
He's apparently a very smart gentleman, as it's reported he was there on an
academic scholarship. This reflects in his independent music sales. Gucci Mane is a
very solid-minded black business man that gets more dollars per CD sale than most
music artists, all genres.
Young Jeezy's words have credibility fans should not take for granted. While
all came into rap with references to drug dealing a street capers, Young Jeezy was seemingly
the only striving to actually get out the hood and born into a low-resource struggle.
Young Jeezy's maturity through all the rapper's claims, speak loudly of his future's
potential. Focused on building a solid album in 2013 and working with his artist
Freddie Gibbs, it's obvious the Georgia music star's new rap songs will be lyrically inclined.
