Huge episode! Love hearing rappers talking about this kind of stuff, especially given how rap music tends to glorify drug use/partying. Thanks Doug!

Women don’t understand just how much they can break their sons. A mother can make their son a narcissist as well. Father can too but an unhealthy broken mother can ruin her son. I’m glad Jezzy forgave his mother.

@@dougbopst1 So many. But If I were to say that something resonated with me the most was how tied in dreams can be to reality and how that reoccuring nightmare Jeezy had him change alot of his ways. Lots of respect for his humility

Great interview! After watching this, I have an entirely different view of Jeezy. He's everything I believed that he wasn't. He's analytical, business-minded, honest, introspective...LOVABLE! It's amazing what you learn when you actually "listen" to a person! Many thanks for sharing this helpful video with us Doug!🙌❤👍

And I've learned something about being around a person you just don't feel like being around a long long time ago and I would never wish to cause anyone to feel that way because it brings out a very personal disgusting side in someone and then people lose people that way and I'm sure I can show you proof that not one single individual wanted to be uncomfortable throughout their life, not ever

Around this place while you are having to go through this process in changing selfs life which is something I presented and applied myself to... Can someone afford me a tooth brush Everytime mine is missing or nasty .?

@MiseryVaughn-Krause-fp5gc 2 ай бұрын

So as you see something was posted called the victim mindset... Which gives me this negative feeling because I don't understand it and I'm definitely so open because I have confidence in my stance as a "victim" or whatever else you would like calling me but technically I am the only one that has say over me because I got approval from the white house only because they believe in me. A person has to have approval from Texas before the White House before this can be approved.

I hope my homeboy dont flip out and make me get off track. I know he dont really like me and i dont like him either seeing how he has been screwing other women. But i couldnt live through much out there because everyone is on some no good something and i dont want to have to change who i am that much because im a daughter and a grandchild and a mother and sister and a aunt and who would ever actually want to be seen by their peers as something so negative and or degrading that nobody can stand to be around them

Jeezy be saying anything to make himself sound intelligent. Jeezy is a good rapper, & that's it. are we supposed to pretend that Dre wasn't apart of "F The Police!!" & caught a case for slapping Dee Barnes? or that Jay also rapped about selling drugs also? The truth is that Jeezy (to his credit) maximized his opportunities. Jeezy is not selling quality merch or putting other great talent on. Jeezy comes off as selfish, & solo. Which is why Gucci punked him on the versus. No one has Jeezy's back.

It’s the machine. They prop up the lowest forms of the community that only promote destruction to be looked as role models. And then they reward them so the youth will see that this is only way out, multi generations lost due to this mental brainwashing. These fool don’t even realize how much damage they’ve done smh.

@sv1global599 4 ай бұрын

dang my bad I wasn't even trying to be lol my point was that the hiphop Forbes listers are all pushing product. everyone in hiphop has rough past. snoop beat a murder case & rapped about it. the snowman logo is one of the dopest & most famous in hiphop history. was there no way to monetize the wave? off the top of our heads we don't know what jeezy pushing

He can be a good rapper and intelligent which he is. Keep ur hate to yourself

@sv1global599 3 ай бұрын

it's the excuses that I was commenting on. SnoopDogg claimed crip throughout his whole career, & caught a murder case. being a gangster rapper enhances your career, not diminish it. if I told a lie, or you disagree, please point it out. as opposed to calling what you may disagree with hate.@@MY-qm6yz
