But remember knowing a lot of words and being able to rhyme are not the same as intelligence. I think people get the impression that Jeezy is stupid because of his incredibly limited vocabulary and simple rhymeschemes. I'm a little defensive on this count because I'm actually in the process of writing a paper on Young Jeezy at University of Toronto. I think that relative to other gangster rappers, you might call Jeezy enlightened gangster music. I thought the original was so much better than the remix.Īs far as Jeezy being ignorant gangster music, I also disagree. First off, I couldn't disagree more about Jay-z outshining Jeezy on Go Crazy. If there's any issues with that I don't know about 'em because people haven't brought 'em to me yet. I didn't really look at it like it was gonna be a problem. Have you ran into any problems producing for both Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane? I've always had the majority of tracks on his albums. We just kept grinding on the independant level. It was cool because he was featured on the first song me and Jeezy put out, "Over Here," and then he was on "Trap or Die" so we already had the chemistry. I wanna go crunk." Once he told me that I just laced him up. I asked him, "Bun do you want some UGK type-stuff?" And he was like, "Man, I want some of that Shawty Redd. I just love that bass sound.ĭo you custom fit your sound to the artist? Like, did you give Bun B Pimp C-like tracks? While everybody thought bass was dead I just kept using the 808. I do lot of fast-tempo music, club music. When you hear a Shawty Redd track you gonna know it because of my 808, my snares and the tempo of the beat. We was supposed to do an album together, but we never put that album together. I started rapping with them, became part of the group.
We had a song off the first So So Def Bass All-Stars album. I hooked up with a group called City Boyz. After working with them guys I bought me some keyboards and beat machines and just started producing. I hooked up with a production company called Twin Productions and started carrying speakers to clubs so artists like Youngbloodz and Master P could perform, everybody that was hot around '97, '98. Currently laying the foundation for his Beat Bangers production company, Shawty is basking in the sunshine that comes after the rain. Now thanks to his longstanding musical partnership with Young Jeezy, the man behind the hood hit "Air Forces" (and a half-dozen other tracks on Jeezy's debut) has landed on his feet, recently clocking studio time with Bun B, Trillville, and Jeezy nemesis Gucci Mane.
Adding injury to insult, the 404 Soldierz album he produced never saw the light of day, as the group lost their deal with Epic. Left" industry politricking cost Shawty a label deal with the now defunct MCA Records. After lacing incarcerated rapper Drama with the sole hit of Drama's career, "Left, Right.
#I PUT ON REMIX YOUNG JEEZY ALBUM COVER SERIES#
If his homeboy Young Jeezy is known as Da Snowman, then Demetrius "Shawty Redd" Stewart should consider branding himself the Rainman, because the 24-year-old ATLien has weathered a series of career storms. I can just picture Shawty Redd basking in the sunshine after the rain while simultaneously laying a foundation I was surprised to hear him say "I do lot of fast-tempo music, club music." warning: the writer takes mixed and/or dead metaphors to a whole new level. Its kind of like saying Mannie Fresh's sound is the work of an engineer, and not unique composition using particular gear Really, I think shawty red is one of the top producers in the game right now, and I don't think his sound can be put down to high end studio engineering alone. (and have noticeably less bottom end boom than the shawty red tracks - compare Go Crazy to Trap or Die) If you look at the production credits, most of the classic Jeezy sounding tracks were done by Shawty Red, whereas the other tracks by Don Cannon, Mannie Fresh and Collipark are really abberations from the sound of the rest of the album and Jeezy's preceding mixtapes. Thirdly, I think the overall sound of the album that you refer to comes from Shawty Redd's production and not the engineering because a) Shawty Redd did about 70% of the album, and b) according to the thread about the 808 boom used on the album, hardly any processing was used in the tracking/mixdown. Secondly I got a widely leaked version of the album that came out about 4 months before the actual album and had totally different mixes than the final album, and Shawty Redd's tracks didn't undergo nearly as much changes as the tracks produced by other producers, like Don Cannon's "Go Crazy" beat. For one thing a bunch of the Shawty Red tracks were originally on the Streets is Watchin mixtape that came out before jeezy even had the album deal and they had the same bangin sound then.
