The Last Time Young Jeezy Released An Album
It’s a celebration snitches!
After years of waiting, Young Jeezy is finally, finally ready to release the TM103 album fans have been waiting on.
Earlier today, Da Snowman announced that his long awaited fourth album is set for a December 20th release date.
But considering we’ve all heard the “My album comes out on [insert release date here]” line from Young Jizzle, we’ll believe it when it’s in stores.
Young Jeezy’s last album, The Recession, was released on September 2, 2008. That’s over three years ago. That’s a long time ago.
And in Hip-Hop, three years is a lifetime.
Fans don’t realize how long it’s been. But to put it all into perspective, hit the next pages to see how things were the Last Time Young Jeezy Released An Album.
Drake Was On Degrassi
The last time Da Snowman released an album, Drizzy better known as Wheelchair Jimmy on the TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation. He left the show in 2009.
Nicki Minaj Was An A-Cup
Nicki Minaj didn’t have those Ds or a$$ the last time Jeezy dropped.
Amber Rose Was A Stripper
Back then, Amber Rose was probably hanging on a pole somewhere, dancing to “Put On” when Kanye scooped her out of a strip club.
No One In Hip-Hop Knew Who Taylor Swift Was
Speaking of Kanye, although, Taylor Swift’s 2008 album Fearless was the #1 album in the country and went multiplatinum, no one in Hip-Hop knew about Taylor Swift until Kanye West interrupted her.
Everyone knew about the Recession album though.
Trey Songz Still Had Braids
This was Trey Songz the last time Jeezy released an album.
Nas and Kelis Were Married
Nas and Kelis were a happily married couple in 2008. Right before Kelis took Nas to the cleaners.
Rihanna and Chris Brown Were Together
We all know how this relationship ended.
Jennifer Hudson Was Plus Size
While Hip-Hop fans have been waiting on a new Jeezy album, Jennifer Hudson was on that Weight Watchers diet.
Justin Bieber Was Discovered
Back in 2008, Scooter Braun discovered some kid from Canada. You might have heard of him. His name is Justin Bieber.
Lil Wayne Sold A Milli In A Week
During the same year as Jeezy’s last album, Lil Wayne sold a million albums in one week when his album Tha Carter III dropped on June 10, 2008.
Not to mention Wayne almost sold a million in one week for the second time in his career when Tha Carter IV dropped this year.
Needless to say, Jeezy only has a few mixtapes to his name during the same time period.
T.I. Was Headed To Jail
T.I. has been in and out of jail twice since Jeezy put out The Recession. (Gucci Mane has been in and out of jail more times than we could count).
