Young Jeezy

by eldin from

Alright, Young Jeezy is the type of rapper that helps out with the community and helps other victims of tragedies. Young Jeezy is not the type of rapper that goes out and shoots people and sells drugs or just spends his money on cars and houses and stuff like that.

Young Jeezy was born in South Carolina on October 12, 1977 and his family struggled with debt and got kicked out on the streets with his family. He moved to Atlanta when he was young and when he grew up he started to sell drugs when he was 16 – 18. But when he quit selling he met def jam records and he started rapping. Now he is in rap groups boyz n da hood and usda and is also ceo of CTE.

Young Jeezy opened his house and let hundreds of people stay there and also rented out hotels for hurricane Katrina victims. He also donated 250,000 dollars to hurricane Katrina charity, saved thousands of peoples homes, and supplied food.

Young Jeezy is inspirational, because I listen to his music and he talks about real life and how it goes. Now I rap about similar things. Young Jeezy is committed, because he is good at what he does and he also commits to being strong and helping out for who ever needs that certain amount of support. Young Jeezy is giving because he gives support, inspiration, and commitment .

Young Jeezy inspired me to write music because he talks about the realistic stuff and I actually listen to the words of his songs. I watch his documentaries and I learned a lot of stuff that I didn’t know about him. He always says stay in school don’t drop out don’t get in trouble with the law and now I rap about some of that stuff.
