Global Grind: TM103, we’ve been waiting for this, which seems like forever. It leaked online already.
Young Jeezy: Yeah, I’m looking for the n*gga who leaked my sh*t.
What was the journey of putting together TM103? It’s been two years in the making.
It wasn’t really a journey. I had a few things happen in between, a couple things with some of my homies, a little light sh*t. I was always working. That’s why I kept putting out mixtapes. When I thought about it, I wanted to put the album out the top of the year, 2012. That was my plan. That’s why I do my albums with my own money, so I can control it. Because the labels wanna do things on their own time to meet their quotas. I get it. But sometimes when you’re making music for a culture, you gotta do it when the time is right. It becomes microwaved sh*t, put it in 15 minutes and you move to the next.
None of your album have been “microwaved sh*t.”
Because I always pay for them. So they gotta wait on me. They can’t out it out because they have no music.
