Jeezy and Cannon talk with MTV about his “controversial” Trap Or Die 2 mixtape cover and why Drama wasn’t around for the sequel.
“I know a lot of cats are trippin’ off the cover. I tell ‘em like this: You had Martin Luther King, you had Malcolm X. One thing I respected about Malcolm X is that he believed in what he believed in. He died believing in it. That’s how I am. I would never compare myself to the great Malcolm, but I will die believing in what I believe in.”
“The original idea of Trap Or Die 2 was something DJ Drama was supposed to do. As days went by, Jeezy felt it was something that had to be done fast, because he was on a campaign. I didn’t have anything to do with the decision of the tape being with a DJ or without a DJ. But I really decided I would be there for Young if he wanted to put Trap Or Die 2 out.”

Why couldn’t Jeezy say why DJ Drama wasn’t around for the sequel? I think Jeezy and Drama back to beefing again. But the tape wouldve been way better if Drama did it instead of Cannon. IMO

Man, I cannot lie, Trap or Die 2 GOES HELLA HARD!!! I was listening to that early this morning and that had me hella hyped for my day. I almost felt like I was in the trap but I was going to my office. LOL

i’m guessing (not really) drama wasn’t involved because of that bullshit he pulled with gucci mane a little while back. putting him and jeezy on the phone with out telling jeezy first.

>>>”I would never compare myself to the great Malcolm”.
Hmmm. Jeezy impersonated and uses a quote from Malcolm X, trying to equate the trap to the equal rights struggle, but he’d never compare himself to Malcolm X.
Ignorance at it’s finest.

it is kinda weird , jeezy seems not really into it, and at the end he says "hey you stuck me with that phone call homie"
canon-"hey the streets needed this"
jeezy-"it is wat it is"

I don’t really think the mixtape is “controversial” or do I think anyone is tripping over the cover. Jeezy ain’t important to be trippin over wtf he doin. Who gives a fuck…… Nigga wack anyway

Jeezy wat the fuck are you talking about bro lol? Way to not address the issue at all in that Malcom X answer lol. “I believe what i believe in…like Malcom X did” …Hitler believed what he believed in too, and so did J. Edgar Hoover, so what does that even mean?? That is some George W Bush ass logic/rhetoric! If ur gonna put on a serious face and try to be deep, PLEASE make sense my brotha.
I’ll probly still bump the mixtape tho cuz im a slave to shit shit. Sadface.
