I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.
Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.
I never ever paid attention to any election.
Sam Jackson is like the Jeezy of Hollywood: He's for his people.
I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.
You seen my shows; I bring the 'hood out.
I don't think nobody should compare me to anyone, 'cause, at the end of the day, you've got a 'Pac, you've got Snoop, you got Tip, you got Wayne - there's only one Jeezy, man. Ain't nobody walked in these shoes but me.
I've got to pay $5 for gas just like everybody else.
Honestly, I'm on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.
All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.
To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there - and bigger.
As long as I'm not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I'm glad I'm not an MC. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm not that rapper dude.
I don't really feel McCain. It ain't just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression.
It's not the average people that come to my show.
