Riff: Young Jeezy – “Enough”

Sep 2, 2014

If you grind strong enough/You can be a trap star, nigga be on TV and get a chick/If you grind long enough/You can take care ya nephews and ya nieces and ya moms and ya girl

from Enough lyrics by Young Jeezy

Stuck in a time warp, somewhere between the early and mid 2000s, Jeezy is mindlessly following the classic rap formula, hoping he can snag a few more dollars before falling off. This is the token grind-hard song that every clone relies on to tell their story. Yet even then it’s full of vague sketches.
