Episode 7: Young Jeezy, "Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101"
In the seventh episode of the Radio Ga Ga Podcast, I'm branching out to an admittedly blind spot in my music knowledge ... rap. But I am so glad I did. This episode breaks down the elements that make up trap music and its cultural significance, as well as Jeezy's rise to fame - from hustling drugs as a teenager to becoming one of trap's pioneers. I'm excited to share my conversation with Phil Landes, who tells me about memories this album reminds him of, and the deeper meanings behind his favorite tracks.
