Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Mixtape mainstay issues his proper debut; it serves as a conduit between the commercially lucrative South and a lagging East Coast scene.

Rap Reviews
This proves the age old axiom "so stupid he's smart" quite true, or perhaps shows that Young Jeezy knows what he's doing far better than any of us do.
-
Plugged In
Sometimes called The Snowman for being draped with “ice,” this diamond-studded playa has street cred to spare and nothing of value to say.
-
Pop Matters
The rasp is Jeezy's invention, but he needed the right music to put it in the proper context. Jeezy's choice of beats is nearly pitch-perfect.
-
SPIN
Jeezy rides beats of the digital Southern-stroll variety and the East Coast helium-soul style.
-
All Music
A definite product of the South, it's apparent throughout Let's Get It that his claim of being raised by the group UGK and the label No Limit is no joke. Like Boyz N da Hood, the album was made as if crunk never happened.

Prefix Magazine
Although Jeezy knows how to use his skills to nod some heads, he remains yet another story that feeds into the negative stereotypes and aspects of hip-hop. Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 stands as another example of the industry confusing the dope game with hip-hop music.

Jeezy is the man at the moment, but if he seeks longevity, he will need to dig a bit deeper into his persona on his next album.

Nothing has ever made me want to do a little bad while inspiring me to do so much good like TM 101.

The Dope Chronicles
He delivered a masterful album at a time when rap was evolving.
