Notes on Young Jeezy

Download: Young Jeezy: "Hypnotize"

Walking from my checkcashing place to the B.O.A., which means a two-ave stroll down 56th for no good reason other than that's how I stroll, I was listening to the new Young Jeezy album, when at Ninth Ave and 56th I saw something I've never seen before, which is a cat getting run over by a car. I'm by no means a cat person so I wasn't particularly bothered by this. That said, I'm still struggling with the image of this cat like fucking writhing in the middle of the street, in a pool of its own blood, right next to a steam vent too so from afar it looked like the cat was writhing and melting, the cat's owner trying her best to comfort the dead cat as it backflipped the last of its nine lives, all while Young Jeezy keeps whispering in my ears: "I command you niggas to get money." What the fuck?
