Just when you thought they buried the hatch, Jeezy takes a swipe at DJ Drama in the September 2009 issue of XXL.
Given all the history you made with Gangsta Grillz mixtapes, alot of people were caught off guard when you said “Fuck DJ Drama” onstage last year.
Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled,
but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his
crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no
streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a
cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the
fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the
money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streetz Iz Watchin, because
they were selling and distributing them and making money. I’m not
hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that
nigga for [contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones,” on Drama’s
official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one
of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the
shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my
hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m
just not gonna fuck with him anymore. I kept a lot of real niggas off
his ass. There’s a lot of niggas mad at that nigga ‘cause he didn’t do
what he was supposed to do. He shouldn’t take people’s money if he not
gonna do what he say.

Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
