Video Selection: Young Jeezy Gets Cali Love
I woke up this morning in Brooklyn, but right now I’m in Atlanta. There was no WiFi access on my Delta flight, so it’s been a slow day on Hiptics. I’ll make up for it.
The new XXL with Young Jeezy on the cover was on my lap for a good chunk of my flight from New York to Atlanta. Jeezy makes some interesting observations about Twitter. (Feel free to follow Hiptics.com)
I transcribed Young Jeezy thoughts about Twitter from his interview with XXL staff writer, Toshitaka Kondo:
“I’m definitely not going to be the nigga up there Twittering,” says the 31-year-old Jay “Young Jeezy” Jenkins. “Like, ‘I’m walking in the club. I’m getting int my car.’ Youg know what I’m saying?”
It’s a warm afternoon in July. Jeezy is giving his dissenting take on Twitter during a discussion on viral promotion with his Def Jam publicist, Gabriel Tesoriero, in the lounge of Soapbox Studios, in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. “I’m a street nigga,” he says. “And beyond that, I just find it a little weird for anybody to know everything you’re doing. I was in the club the other night, and my homeboy hit me like, ‘You in the club? Somebody in there Twittering that shit.’ I’m looking around like, Who? It’s so crazy, ’cause you could be talkng to somebody and say something, and them muthafucks be tweeting, twitting, whatever y’all call that shit. To me, that sounds a lot like snitching, and that’s probabaly why I ain’t with the shit.”
