A very special one this, the live-from-the-studio event is meant to take fans right back into a two-decade journey of a truly artistically gifted career. This was accompanied by a motivating post on Instagram, wherein the Atlanta legend said, “You ain’t gotta be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.” He truly took the fans to the next level by telling them to go over to his YouTube channel and stream his forthcoming TM101 Live special, standing for twenty years since his timeless debut album “The Greatest Story Never Told.”

In the teaser, they take a walk down memory lane with Jeezy reminiscing about his start in the game; he remembered how he was initially the one who downplayed his rap skills until his consciousness opened up to the realization that that rusty, deep voice of his could really move records. “I heard a voice on it. I said, who is that? He said, oh, that’s me. I just be playing around,” Jeezy said, laughing a few times. By means of that first-off recording voice, that is also, to some extent, what established Southern hip-hop from about the mid-2000s when his was the most copied and, paradoxically, yet ever incomparable voice to have come through rap.
The comments went on and on with fans describing the Snowman’s long lasting influence. That one die-hard fan claimed, “I know where I was, what I was doing, and my exact feeling the first time I heard your voice @jeezy and I ain’t let up since.” With that comment, they illustrated exactly what many feel in their innermost selves toward songs by Jeezy. “That raspy voice had everybody listening,” another stated, and many compared him to Frankie Beverly in terms of timelessness that continues to pull fans in.”
Still, every ounce of that Texan-grown antic is there for new gigs. Polls and polls have poured in from eager fans clamoring for concerts, one of which reads, “When you coming to Cali? Need a Show out here!” Clearly, Jeezy is sought after. One commenter noted his motivational nature: “He just inspires and motivates. His delivery is phenomenal.” Another said the interview was “so dope” as it “charts his transition from the streets to the creator.”
A loud and proud fan on that front admitted he felt authenticity “through the phone”; and in most aspects where rappers feel somewhat manufactured, Jeezy’s blessedly real breakthrough communication interface is a rarity today. Another fan simply put: “His voice and talent are definitely one of a kind.”

TM101 Live will for certain bring to the DSLR all the gritty reality that made Jeezy a legend; twenty years on, that voice is still drawing crowds-even for the very unique sound it carries but more so for the actual lived experience and wise weariness that clanks inside every bar. Remember may be about stops to remember the old days or dishing out gems for the upcoming generation; being great is not about where you start but something raw and real that goes in every step along the way, according to Jeezy.
