Young Jeezy’s Next — “The Recovery”?

Unlike the Great Depression, the Great Recession hasn’t produced quite the same amount of artistic output. Remember “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime”? We’ve still mainly got lots of dimes. Even dollars (oners, natch). Or, “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries”? Despite the “forgotten, silent crowd,” the recession hasn’t really required everyone to throw one’s hands up and “laugh at it all.”

So we’ve got Young Jeezy’s “The Recession,” which was released last year. In it, he raps about tough times paying bills and getting work. And we don’t think that’s going to change even in the Recovery.
