Jeezy Says He's Inspired By 2Pac & Notorious B.I.G. On New Album
A new song by rapper Jeezy hit the Internet last night titled “Mamma Told Me” featuring Esther Dean.
The track is taken from Jeezy’s anticipated album, Thug Motivation 103.
In anticipation of the album, Jeezy has changed his name, by dropping the Young and will have a more focused attitude on this album.
Jeezy, who hit Miami where he took pictures for his Vibe Magazine cover spread, discussed the album in the latest issue of the magazine.
“I feel like the last Mohican dawg...I feel like the last man standing,” Jeezy stated. “I done seen it, I done done it. I done smelt it...I know what I am. But I know what I’m not about to become. I gotta stand for something, man. Who better?”
According to Jeezy, he is finding inspiration in rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., both of whom died in a violent feud.
Jeezy vowed to avoid similar conflicts in the future.
“Pac and Big gone...They no more. Only thing you can hear is they voice, my n***a, and you know what they voice telling me? You gotta keep it moving, man. F**k the dumb s**t...I’m four albums in. How many albums Big have, two? He ain’t make it that far. So I’m already ahead of the game.”
Jeezy is putting the final touches on Thug Motivation 103, which is due to be released in 2010.

Ludacris Disappointed With Failed Attempt To Get Lauryn Hill On ''Battle Of The Sexes''
Associated Press: NEW YORK – Ludacris' latest album features a number of female rappers — but the Grammy-winner acknowledges there's one lady he really wanted to work with.
"I think Lauryn Hill is like extremely talented and I can say I did try to do that, it just didn't work itself out," he says of the multiple Grammy-winning singer-rapper, whose only studio album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," has sold more than eight million units in the United States since its release in 1998.
While the reclusive former Fugees performer didn't make it on "Battle of the Sexes," Ludacris' seventh studio release, he successfully recruited Lil Kim, Eve, Trina and newcomer Nicki Minaj.
Though he's managed to surround himself with female rappers on the new album, Ludacris knows that women haven't had the greatest success in hip-hop, especially in the last few years. He says that's because female rappers misjudge their audience.
"They want to rap for the guys when they should be rapping and being themselves and talking about what's going on with them," said Ludacris. "We want to hear women talk more about what women do as opposed to trying to be like men or talk about what men do."
"Battle of the Sexes" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album charts this month.

Label Tells Joell Ortiz To Start A Beef If He Ever Wants To Drop "Free Agent" Album
For fans who are wondering what the holdup is on the Joell Ortiz album, Free Agent, Joell answered it via Twitter.
In a series of tweets, Joell spoke about his disappointment in the lack of support from his label.
“It's crazy to be on a label that says that no one knows me but when i get outside. the car horns beep and all yall yell YAOWA!”
“Its funny cause when I tell them to let me go cause Im such a burden the whole convo changes. I dont give a f*ck”
Although Joell has two singles in rotation that are burning up radio airwaves, “Call Me” and his remix to Lloyd Bank's “Beamer, Benz and Bentleys”, “Nissan, Honda, Chevy,” the label still feels that he is not received by fans as a “good rapper.”
According to Ortiz:
“The label asked me if I have a twitter account! Then they said I need to do something "controversial" (beef) to market myself. this is true!”
“I was told that I am marketing myself as a "good rapper" i need to be more rock n roll. I am not lying.”
Don't think that the lack of support is stopping Joell Ortiz as he is promising fans that there is more hot music to come:
“shout to all the promoters out there that support the real and all the fans that support. I give it all on that stage every night”
“btw, we leaking another joint next week with a video WE paid for.”
With constant statements like this, the majors are gonna be on pause in a second as being independent definitely seems the way to go in 2010.
