Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 (2005)

Nicknamed the Snowman thanks to his fabled prowess for peddling certain white substances, this growling Atlanta mixtape king lives up to his frosty moniker on this major-label debut, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, with enough drug references to keep a narcotics cop on his toes for months. But with Young Jeezy's addictive charisma on anthems like the soul-studded ''Go Crazy'' and the down-South-funky ''And Then What,'' it's hard to just say no to this single-minded slinger.
