Young Jeezy Explains Trap Or Die 2 Cover

Da Snowman explains to MTV the reasoning behind his depiction of Malcolm X on the cover of his new mixtape, Trap Or Die 2.

“I know a lot of cats are trippin’ off the cover,” Young said. “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.

  3. King JuggaNott says:

    Hot mixtape. I did 2 miles last night with “Insane” on repeat…..that shit gets me fucking bucked up. I think that’s my favorite for that reason….

  4. did kris parker catch this much shit as well?

  5. nocomment says:

    that was by far the dumbest non-explanation ever. what the fuck does what you believe have to do with evoking the legacy of a great leader? A great that actually believed in shit that matters, not “trappin” and rappin about shit that does nothing for your people as a whole.

    The fuck outta here with that dumb shit.

    Believe whatever the fuck you believe and believe it without using the words and imagery of a great leader as a tagline for a shitty lookin mixtape cover.

  6. Oj Da Cornball says:

    SMH at the dumbest explanation for using such.

    So he belive in drug dealing (trap) or die so Malcom is the best visual for such?

    If u wanted such visual why not do a Master P cover with Fiends, overdosed bodies, and crack pipes? That would explain your belief in trapping or dying better.

  21. blacxplotations says:

  24. HIPHOP says:

  25. sun says:

    Get over it. Stop hating. “By any means necessary” that’s all you need to know.

  26. Teddy says:

    This is easily the best mixtape since so far gone plays like an album and a damn good one at that

  27. Just Me says:

    Love me some Jeezy but I would never put him and Malcolm on the same planet let alone mixtape. Someone said earlier that not everybody goes to college and that’s cool but Jeezy just admitted that he doesn’t read either. He doesn’t even know what Malcolm “believed in.”

  28. Post no billz says:

  32. meTHATSwho says:

    No I am not from the South. I am from Detroit. My list is full of South niggas because that is who is making hot music right now. NO BODY in NY is making hot music any more… even JAY Z has had a huge decline in his music… If I’m not telling the truth where dey at? I will give Jada credit, Re credit and Lupe from the chi credit…

    Who does NY really have? Lets list the bums:
    Maino = TRASH
    Papoose = C’mon son!
    Jim Jones = fail
    JAY Z = legend who is not focused on rap (wheres the consistant albums and mixtapes?)
    Nas = baby mama drama (one of the best OLD rappers)

    Lets compare that to the South:
    lil wayne = the best
    T.I. = KING
    ROSS = Tuff
    Boosie = crack
    Bun B= Legend
    Yo Gotti = up and comming
    Young Jeezy = Tuff
    Gucci = Hard as fuck (doesnt make music for you white boys… sorry lol)
    OutKast = classic
    Luda
    Players Circle = hard/ underrated

    Challenge my list if you want… I know you fags want to put EM on this list but Blacks dont bang that bull shit… No doubt he can spit he just doesnt make good music!

  33. mac DIESEL says:

    @ meTHATSwho

    SHUT THE FUCK UP U CLOWN!!!! TAKE THAT LIST N WIPE YA SHITTY ASSHOLE WIT IT!!!! NIGGAS WHO LISTEN TO THAT CHITLIN RAP BULLSHIT SHOULDN’T BE IN ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT MUSIC!!!! PERIOD!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
