SPOTTED: YOUNG JEEZY VOTER REGISTRATION
To celebrate the release of his highly anticipated third album, The Recession, Young Jeezy recently put on for his city with a show-stopping live band performance at The Tabernacle and a jam-packed party at the exclusive Velvet Room in Atlanta.
The multi-platinum star also held a voter registration at Justin’s restaurant where he registered and encouraged others from his home state to do the same.

OBAMA 08′
He can vote??? YAYYY!!! Kudos Jeezy! I’m still trying to figure out why Keyshia was goin crazy over this man! He is ugly! Love his music tho’.
I love when rappers do positive things… kudos Jeezy… Obama/Biden 08
Sorry to break it to you guys . . .
BUT
McCain/Palin are definitely going to win the election.
Just wait ’til November
That’s right Jeezy!! Obama y’all.
And I want an Obama t- shirt!!
Good look Jeezy!
@ #4- The majority of the peeps outside the US are all routing for Obama. Sorry to say, but if the US elect McCain and he will most probs continue down the same path as Bush and eventually destroy the US. Real Talk, I don’t want that and I ain’t even American, but got love for the country.
Obama ’08!!
Ever since black folks accused of him of supporting McCain, he’s been a walking advertisement for Obama.
#4, KILL THAT NOISE!
His album title is appropriate lol. Thats a good look Jeezy. This is what will make the difference on 11/4
Politics for celebrities, is just another form of PR. These celebs don’t give a damn about who’s president. I just think back to 2004, Jadakiss was talking about how important it was to vote; and his @ss wasn’t even registered!!! LMAO!
@ 8
Are you serious? Who names an album entitled, “The Recession”, and then makes a video w/ him wearing big chains, floshin n shyt! LOL…what an idiot! (not you, but Jeezy)
I
Good deed Jeezy I am going to buy his cd this week
@ # 6
UMM peeps outside the US???? ROUTING?? LOL
WHO CARES BOUT THA PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE STATES THEY ARE NOT VOTING! ITS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES NOT THE WORLD
MCCAIN HAS PALIN ON HIS TCIKET
NOW OBMAA IS GONNA PULL THRU THIS ONE
I really wish more rappers would use their influence to get people registered to vote. Host drives at your concerts and stuff. WE CAN DO IT!
YES JEEZY DDO THE DAM THING HIS ALBUM HAS ALSO SOLD LIKE 256K AND HE DEBUTS @ #1! I THINK I AM STARTIGN TO LIKE JEEZY MORE AND MORE I AM GOING TO COP THAT!
LET’S GET OUTHERE AND REGISTAR TO VOTE AND THEN VOTE!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT IN MOST STATES IF YOU AARE NOT REGISTARED BY OCT 10TH— U CAN NOT VOTE! DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AND NOT BE REGISTERED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Yall Just shut up and make sure you’re registered to vote and ACTUALLY GO AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please check and see if you register to vote because I checked online with the Texas and I wasn’t and I sent my info in from Rock The Vote. I think my mailman lost it so today I am going to take it in personally.
My Recession’s in the mail…LOVE Jeezy
@ #4 This will be my first time voting in an election not because I have chosen not to in the past but because I’m finally of age to do so. Even if McCain does win *Knocks on a damn tree* I’m going to know that it wasn’t my vote that could’ve kept Obama from the White House. I’m registered to vote and I’m waiting to deal w/ this absentee ballot. I’m serious about this.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the Obama t-shirt jeezy has. Is there a website or anything. Thanks. Rock the Vote
You know, #4 has a point, IF these ignorant folks arent REGISTERED to vote, McCain old ass will win. PLEASE do not let that happen.
EDUCATE folks too register, then they get to vote. A mass campaign to get black people to do that, so they can then vote for Obama.
He looks like he is having trouble reading. LOL
McCain and Trailer Trash Palin kick rocks!
I find it very SAD that people who are way over 18 & 19 still have to register to vote. Its 2008….by now everybody should be registered.
Thats something you automatically do when you go get your drivers license. Maybe it’s just a Texas thing, I dont know
I thought Young Jezzy Went To Jail 100 times
Thats what iam talking about its good to see celebrities going out to register
i cant wait till Obama is in the house there will definitly be a change.
Thats wasup !!
obama 08′ cmon people there are 8million unregistered african american voters out there lets get this thing poppin or all will go to hell back into the slimy ball republicans hands!!!!!!
BEFORE YALL START SAYING THESE RAPPERS AREN’T POSITIVE. T.I. CAME TO HOUSTON AND HELD A FREE CONCERT. ANYONE COULD GO AS LONG AS REGISTERED TO VOTE. NOW THAT’S WHAT’S UP!!!
If everyone goes out and vote for change, Obama will win. Just look at the issues of both sides and seriously condsider registering to vote for change now and then actually voting for change in November. Pessimism has been around since Martin Luther King had his dream, but thank God people actually did what was necessary to bring the dream to life. The change is coming…
GO OBAMA LOVE THE SUPPORT YOU CANT FOR GET WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND I LOVE JEEZY FOR THIS…….
THE STRUGGLE TO GET WHERE HE IS NOW AND STILL THINKING ABOUT THE
THE PEOPLE ..
OBAMA 08 BABY
Oh yeah I’m getting that shirt today too!!!!
GO Jeezy
hey H Town Chic
you are rightwe had a lot of box the votes and I was glad to see artist supporting.
His dumb ass said he was voting for Mccain b/c Mccain shook is hand like a G…
I believe it’s quoted in VIBE
@ #13- Wow, that was kind of rude. So no- one outside the US is allowed to route for a presidential candidate because “no one cares about them”? OK then. As they saying goes, “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”, like it or not, America has a big influence on the world, which therefore affects people all over the world.
I swear some (yes some not all) of you Americans are too self- obsessed. SMH it’s sad that black folks outside the US cannot voice their opinion on a historic situation like this.
#13 JLINZ,
That is a very ignorant statement. Have you ever taken Foreign Policy or even heard of it for that matter?
As globalization increases it is vital that the US maintains good relations with other countries. Becoming isolated from the rest of the world is not what we need right now especially when our economy is in the state that it is. While it is true that Americans are responsible for who becomes president, what other countries think about our leader plays an important role in our interconnectedness with the rest of the world.
So you might want to care what other countries think.
Although this may be PR for Jeezy, lets not forget that rappers are a big influence on a lot of people and this will get a lot of young people to the booths
@ 20 It’s available at Urban Outfitters.
I think it’s bullsh*t that felons can’t vote. They are still US citizens, and are affected by presidency. Just think what the election would be like if felons could vote, and you know they WOULD vote, especially the ones that are presently locked up ’cause they aint got nothin’ but time on their hands. Obama would win hands down! He should definately look into making that change.
Every vote matters…please register today!! It’s time for change. When can’t afford another 4 years of this mess.
Obama/Biden 08!!
Register to vote, folks…
Judas, if you want to see what is wrong with the black man today, look in the mirror or read your own comments. You are the epitome of a weak minded self hating Negro. You cannot defeat the white man so you resort “racial cannibalism” – feeding on your own. Yes, I was raised by a single mother and she did a wonderful job, might I add. She raised two children as a single parent. My younger sister is Registered Nurse working at one of the most prominent hospitals in NYC and she is also back in school studying to become a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner. As for me, I am a very successful CPA working for one the top hedge funds in CT. And yes, I served honorably in not one but two branches of the United State Armed Forces – Navy and Army. Saw combat in both Kosovo and the early parts of Iraqi Freedom under the Clinton and W. Bush administration respectively. And no I do not belong to any gangs but I am thinking about forming one. I might call it AUTOS (Annihilate Uncle Toms on Sight)…lol. Just joking, dude!!!!
There is a famous quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Our scientific influence have far exceeded our spiritual influence, we have guided missile and misguided men.” You are obviously one of the few misguided black man in this country who leans on his own misunderstanding. You will not fight for yourself or your own but you will fight for the white man harder than he will fight for himself and that makes you are very dangerous coward. But all is not lost! When the revolution starts we might find use for you….use you as decoy to soften some blows or something…lol.
#20 I have that T- shirt in black and you can get it from UrbanOutfitters.com if you don’t have the store at your local mall for $28.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Judas, they’re moderating me again. Angel allows your filth to be published but when I rebut it she “moderates”me..
Rock The Vote…… Obama Baby!!!!
J.Dakar or Angel,
Do you guys ever read the comments that are being moderated, or are they just randomly selected to be moderated and automatically tossed in the bin?
When I’m moderated my comments never get posted. It’s actually annoying, and it defeats the purpose if you guys don’t actually read them.
TOONS I think some people get picked on. I make comments that don’t tear people apart, calling everyone, Bs Hs, and Ns, and cussing and I still get moderated.
Good look Jeezy.
@Daisy
Unfortunately as an alleged black “male”, you haven’t learned how to simply agree to disagree. When you learn how to be a man and express yourself as a man, maybe your commentary will come through. You remind me of one of these women that obsesses over a man that they don’t even know. You know nothing about this man Obama, other than what has been shown on television. Honestly speaking, too many brothers have become brute beasts in this society.
It does matter what the world thinks. Remember the rebate checks? China had a lot to do with that. This country owese everyone money. Who wants to do business with a country that makes a bunch of stupid descisions?
A personal of color/minority would propably respond better to another minority versus a crazy alaskan pitbull and some pasty old ball of dried play-doh.
What would be even more impressive is if he would take the voter registration folks to all the different hoods in ATL and put it in folks face to get them to register!!
@13 Actually, the president of the United States has a VERY PROMINENT postion as it relates to world affairs and the United Nations. Therefore, it would make sense that other people outside of the US care who we elect.
# 4. i respectfully disagree… Everyone, please register to vote! If you are registered, get your a$$ up early and hit the poll!
OBAMA ’08!
Very proud of Jeezy on his endeavor to get more people registered to vote.
Vote for Obama/Biden 2008!
Hey anyone who is doing ANYTHING to help us win this election in November deserves some props. Doing ANYTHING is better than NOTHING. Good for you Jeezy
On another note–Why does jeezy always look like he’s saying the word prune?
I hope everyone registers. Actions speak louder than words and we have to make sure McCain/ Palin don’t get in the whitehouse because everyone making under a million dollars will not make it in the U.S. McCain has already stated that the average american should gross about a million. I guess it’s easy to say that when you marry into someone else’s wealthy family.
If you are a college student, make sure you get your absentee ballad.
Judah,
Judah,
I usually like to read your comments and decipher them, but now I’m starting to think that you are the type that likes to have fun playing devil’s advocate. The thing I don’t respect is how you undermine people in the political blogs who are giving an opinion. Personally unless you sleep in the same bed as either one of these candidates then you really don’t know either of them outside their policies, personal research, and the media, so why do you question only Obama so much and say he’s not the person that he is? Have you had a bad run in with him personally or something?
HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE FIRST DEBATE WILL BE??? DAKAR, DO YOU KNOW???
THE FOCUS IS GETTING OFF THE REAL ISSUES…AND MCCAIN/PALIN STARTING TO PISS ME OFF WITH THIS FLIP FLOP CRAP!!
FIRST HE ABOUT “EXPERIENCE”, NOW CAUSE HE GOT THIS MOOSE EATIN CHICK HE’S ABOUT “CHANGE”????
ITS TIME TO GET FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES AGAIN…WHEN IS THE FIRST DABATE GOING DOWN????
OBAMA TEAM: YA’LL NEED TO HURRY UP AND GET THESE DEBATES TOGETHER!!! 51 DAYS PEOPLE!!!
WHAT IS HE DOING WITH AN OBAMA SHIRT ON …IN THE LAST VIBE ISSUE HE WAS INTERVIEWED AND HE STATED THAT HE F—- WITH MCCAIN
@I’m Gonna Give You the Truth
Sis, let’s be real, the issue is that I have my opinion and other people have theirs. Black people have made a humongous emotional investment in this man and it is indicative of how hopeless our people are and how low they feel. Due to the fact that the black community is destroyed and is dominated by a feminine mentality; most people, including and especially so-called black “men”, do not know how to justify their beliefs. Thusly our people throw tantrums and levy accusations that they cannot qualify. The scripture tells us to prove all things. As a man of the Lord, I probably view things different from you or anyone who puts their trusts in man. Black people don’t know how to build and honestly, I don’t take the opinion of most of them seriously.
Even fool who has just moderately studied the elite and how they run their operation know that a politician cannot even get on television unless he or she is evil as hell, no matter the color. I saw black people dance this jig in 2000 with Al Gore, again in ’04 with Kerry, and now with Obama. The reason why I cannot and will not ignore it is because the obtuse and ignorant are the ones steering the black community. They are not a minority. Look at this buffoon Sean Combs. He shouldn’t even be allowed to vote, much less encourage others to do so. I honestly believe that these clownish rappers are being used to spearhead the voting registration of black people so that when the draft is brought back before the invasion of Iran, they will have a good list of black men and women to select.
I’m gonna break my rule about using the word, hater. For all the haters talking about McCain and Palin, no they can’t win. Look, even with the excitement surrounding Palin, the electoral votes (the winning votes) are still tied. So, with the excitement of the base, and the excited women, he’s only tied with Obama.
YEAH WE CAN..YEAH WE WILL
