Thug Motivation 102

MTV has a nice in depth article about Jeezy and his new album, Thug Motivation 102.  Here are some excerpts from that:

"I'm just trying to take that sh-- in a different direction," Young Jeezy said of the LP. "I'm thinking for more people now. It's like, the nonbelievers is the ones we gotta get, the people who don't understand this is how we really live. We don't mean no harm — this is just us. Everybody can't be the same — the world wouldn't work if everybody was the same."

His new album is scheduled to be released December 5th, is expected to sell more copies then 101 which was released last year and sold 2 million copies.

"I get, 'Can he do it again?,' but people don't understand [that] even on my mixtapes, I went at it like an album," he said. "Right now I'm working on my fifth album, in my mind [factoring in his first mixtape, Streets Is Watching, and his last street CD, Can't Ban the Snowman]. So I'mma be a little more advanced than people think. Because when I was doing that, I was preparing myself for this.

"I was training, I was getting ready for the fight," he continued. "You know everybody says 'the sophomore jinx'? Ain't gonna happen, man."

We all look forward for the new album and can't wait to see if he can follow up with another platinum record.
