Jay Wayne Jenkins (born October 12, 1977), better known by his stage name Young Jeezy, is an American rapper. He is a member of the hip hop group United Streets Dopeboyz of America (USDA) and a former member of BMF (Black Mafia Family). He began his career in 2001 under an independent label and joined Boyz 'N Da Hood in 2005, the same year his solo major label debut Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 was released. Its single "Soul Survivor", which featured Akon, became a top-ten hit in the US.
The Inspiration followed in 2006, and The Recession followed in 2008; both albums yielded chart-topping singles. Jeezy has also appeared on numerous other rap and R&B singles such as "Say I" by Christina Milian, "I'm So Paid" by Akon, "Hard" by Rihanna, and "Love in This Club" by Usher, the latter being a number one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2008.
Jay Wayne Jenkins was born in Columbia, South Carolina and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia when he was a toddler. Because his parents were separated, custody of him transferred between family members frequently. In an interview with XXL magazine, he described his childhood as "empty". In 1994, he spent nine months in YCA (Youth Challenge Academy), a boot camp in Fort Stewart, Georgia, for narcotics possession.
Kanye Omari West ( /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American musician, film director and fashion designer.

G shit is all I do, dirt by my lonely
Thuggin is all I do, I keep that thing on me
Ain't no workin it out, I gotta get this change
All I know how to do is get this change
I told him bring it all, if he ain't bring it all
I'm a leave that nigga layin there
I might just have to spray somethin baby (spray spray somethin baby)
Home got me fucked up, I am not with it
Don't matter what the target, AK'll hit it
Who gives a fuck, call the ambulance to come get it
Then it's back to the (money) don't stop get it get it
Hold up, slow down, speed up,
Nigga the 12 right behind us just put the weed up.
We got guns in this bitch, we got funds in this bitch
20s stacked up like 1's in this bitch
50s stacked up like blocks in this ho,
That's probably why it's smellin like blocks in this ho,
You know I'm tryin to eat, so a nigga ridin dirty,
It ain't even lunch time, it's just eleven thirty.
[Chorus]
When it goes down, I hope my shit don't jam,
Reason I get hit, I be god damned
Keepin my soldiers on deck incase we go to war,
120 deep like we bought to do it too.
Yeaaaaa, pull up in firelane trucks,
And they all coffee black, nigga starbucks.
Had it crackin like the drive thru at mickey D's
Instead of fries theys pickin up them quarter ki's
Who you with mother fucker this ya roll call,
Keep them 50 shots with me, them my road dogs.
Know what they say, if ya get caught with no vest
[Chorus]
