There's no parsing through flow and lyrics and drum machines. For Jeezy, it's the essence of his persona: maniacal shouting, catchphrases, euphoria, instant gratification. For most MCs this would weigh down their words. Unbridled "Daaaayuums" and everlasting "Yeeeeaaahs" or "Thaaaaat's riiiiight"s punctuate each song. By now Da Snowman's ad-libs are things of legend. He punctuates the song with his calling card. He breathes hard on the track and stares down his microphone like it hates him. It's a joyous moment but also the scariest album opener I've heard this year. On opener "Thug Motivation 101" Jeezy pounds his chest and growls, "I used to hit the kitchen lights, cockroaches er'where/ Now I hit the kitchen lights, there's marble floors er'where" over tense, eerie keyboards.
