What’s up? Regardless of my non-street background and lifestyle, I’ve been a fan of your music since your Come Shop With Me days from 2003 on. You had a fantastical way of weaving gritty tales and making ab-libs the thing to have in 16 bars. Hell, your rhymes were like the Grimm’s Fairy Tales of the streets.

 

After TM: 101 dropped you had everybody tagging things "Your Favorite **insert title here*** Favorite **insert secondary title here". I mean even to this day Ozone Magazine calls their website Your Favorite Rapper’s Favorite Website. I was kinda worried after The Inspiration dropped, it was cool and all, somewhat weak but you brought it back full circle on The Recession. You were the man again on these streets and in my iPod.

But 6 months ago, something happened. Leaks from Trap Or Die 2 started appearing on the nets, TM:103 got an official release date, and your guest appearances on several tracks were just OK. TOD2 dropped and it was just OK. And lawd have mercy, it had a good and terrible mixtape cover. But then you explained the meaning of it to MTV News so I got it. Still though, the project didn’t splash like I thought it would.

 

Soon after, Rick Ross started being everywhere. His street tales were magical. And because J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League is the sh*t, Bawse’s beats were stupid. And he somehow got hooked up with Puff Daddy. Rozay’s stock started inclining. You got Big Meech on a track to do a counter attack and it was decent. However I continued peeping more of Bawse’s music and somewhere along the way, questionable background and all, Rick Ross took your place as my favorite trap rapper. **sigh**

Anyway Jeezy, I’m not sure what’s going on with your life, but I hope on TM:103 you can rise again to reclaim the crown of Your Favorite Trapper’s Favorite Rapper. Otherwise your favorite hip hop bloggers’ favorite trap rapper will be a former corrections officer. I can’t do nothing but shake my head at the irony.
