As people adjust to life during the coronavirus pandemic, many artists are performing from home, speaking out and even releasing new work, as Grammy-nominated rapper Jeezy discusses in this new interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. Jeezy discusses how times of hardship and adversity have animated his music in the past, including some of his most well-known work on “The Recession” in 2008. To get through coronavirus, Jeezy encourages everyone to “spread the information” needed to take safety precautions so people can “survive this together.” He also discusses President Obama citing his music, and contrasts Obama’s leadership style with Pres. Trump leading with “his ego,” and trying to make the coronavirus briefings about himself. The new album is “Twenty/20 Pyrex Vision.”

See Trump's Ego-Driven Virus Response Called Out On Live TV By Rapper Jeezy | MSNBC
Right I was wearing a mask and gloves. I didn’t need some crazy news briefing. I took my cues from China 🤔
@Indigo Child Don’t EVER let what people say deter you from your conviction. I also got funny looks too but I didn’t care. I was just sorry for their ignorance while hoping for the best for them.
Once I learned it can be passed from person to person through droplets I put in orders for mask and have worn it everytime I went to the store.
@Phylum He’ll starve there because the stores wont let him in because he isn’t a Chinese native lol theyr’e being told by CCP government that foreigners are the ones who brought the virus to take over China.
Masks work better when other people wear them.
To protect yourself from others, you need a really good PPE one, like nurses should be wearing. To protect other people from your own germs, it’s much easier – just a piece of cloth tied across the face will make a big difference – it catches your coughs, most of the droplets that you exhale all the time.
If a few still get through, you’re still reducing the chances of someone catching it from you, and if they do, they’ll get a lighter “viral load” – a smaller dose, so it doesn’t hit them so fast – that really makes a difference.
I wear a mask to protect other people from an infection I might have, but don’t know about, yet. If other people wear one, that protects me from them.
In the Czech republic (used to be part of Czechoslovakia), they make their own, and people make more, to give to others. They’re probably the one country in Europe that has the virus under control.

My coworkers thought I was nuts, because a bought everyone on my crew/ jobsite N95 masks and gloves and told all of them to stay clean. Now that we are not working, they’re all calling and asking for masks and gloves. Now who is paranoid?
Never heard of his music but cool statements. Power ✊ Every life matters.
1:04 – touching and pulling on his shorts near his crotch area. Then touching the food.
Jonathan Palacios if you love his message. Dont listen to his music, its the exact opposite
CJ Apao no political group made kkk. It was actually James R. Crowe, John C. Lester, J. Calvin Jones, Richard R. Reed, Frank O. McCord and John B. Kennedy. Every single one of them were conservative Republicans. I dont blame republicans for that, these were just individuals who happened to be republican
Jonathan Palacios you need to he’s one of the most Respectable rap artist I’ve never sold dope or nothing but he gave me a lot of game just for life in general and how to move as a man with respect,honesty,work ethic #LongLiveSno ⛄️
That’s Crazy but check him out
I’m glad Ari hasn’t left his hip hop roots in this pandemic environment
@Colin Cleveland RIGHT! 💯
@EVERYDAY SHENANIGANS Cheers E S! I can’t think of a modern cartoon or an 80s / 90s /00s teen film / sitcom that _wasn’t_ about fitting in/ finding place in pecking order
Breakfast Club, Simpsons, 90210, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Wonder Years,
@luis caro yeah us white people forgot, the black man is still enslaved by welfare! Moron.
@Colin Cleveland MOST DEFINITELY-YOU JUST NAMED A FEW FILMS I LUV!😉❤💋
José de Jesus Yet here you are… hate watching Ari
I’m an old white dude that does not listen to rap but as an artist, I totally appreciate it as an art form of expression. Stay true to your art man.
My two year old daughter creates beautiful “art”. I guess there is art within degenerate subcultures.
@Sophie Filo Thank you I’ve never heard of that term before.
@nick_313 A female.
Jeff Cooper
Your a cool dude… nice reply💁🏽♀️
Jeff Cooper salute my guy
I never heard your music I don’t know anything about you but I truly appreciate the message you’re sending. I only hope more people realize the importance.God bless you my friend and stay safe..
TC Talk it doesn’t matter what he’s rapping about, it that he not think of just himself but for many. Let’s not take away of his generosity.
You just got out of prison that’s right you never heard of him
He motivated some young black males to get murdered some years back when he had them go attempt to rob another rapper named Gucci…that’s motivation for you. Trap or die…that’s motivation for you
Omg STFU, you snowflake.
@Bobby Bland facts!!! Dont forget all the youngsters who started TRAPPING and rapping bout drugs bc his motivation
Ari got a little soul in him..lol.
A lot lol

@Valerie Texan No, I haven’t done my DNA . You just said we’re all mixed anyways , so whats the freakin point of doing it ?! And yes , you were, and still rude. Do us all a favor. Bot ish on this –> 🖕🏼, Go Vote Blue somewhere, and Shut Up .
…and my offspring would say to Ari and Jay: ” Bravo brothers.”
His name is Ari…
Ari is the whitest black Jews I’ve ever seen in my life. I adore him…
We traded Candace Owens, Gayle King and Paris Dennard for Ari.
Ari makes me smile when he quotes rappers and brings the most interesting folks on his show. Much respect for Jeezy!
Ari loves hip hop. He grew up listening to it. Hip hop is a powerful force. It has touched the entire globe.
Same people that bash trumps past turn a blind eye on someone like (jeezy). His past is sparkling fo sho.
@nesmer1 it goes both ways generally
Why is the USA having such a big problem with the epidemic? Because he has to fight with two viruses, Covid19 and Trump20. And together they are deadly.
🖕
Devastating👉😵!!!
Debbie Bassett So do you think Trump loves America? Why? Is it because he hugs flags at his speeches and rallies? That man loves nothing and nobody except $$$. And yes this includes his very strange children. That question is crazy but something expected from Trump trolls!
@IAEC ?
@Maddy Monroe “all he has done”.
Nice vague statement …. because you have NOTHING!
I never tire of Ari’s fanboy smile when he has someone on he appreciates.
Oh yes he is so sweet😅
Lol, he loves this part of his job.
Dear J.R. Murdock only uttereth pure truth-ness!!!
J.R. Murdock YES!! That sparkle in his eye tells everything you need to know about who he likes!
2:27 “When times get tough that’s when the leaders come out.” True that. Ceasar.
Has anyone seen one in the white house YET
Harley free your soul Yeah, in the W.H, the sleaze bags come out.
A leader? This bum brags about selling drugs and shooting people. You people are pathetic and a joke! 😂😂😂
Hes not a leader. He only leads black males to prison cells and early graves
So true
“We’re going to make America greater than its ever been with or without him, we’re the people!”❤❤❤
@shantra la 😂😂😂
@Arthur Anderson she’s quoting Jeezy and I’m down with that quote
Only problem is without him there is no America. Why on Earth would anyone want the govt in control of their lives. There will be no more “we the people” if the “people” give all their power to the govt.
@dominic liuzzo the government is made of the people. I can attest because I am your average Joe yet I’m also certified by the EPA. A government organization.
The problem is people confuse the government with whatever evil fairy tale has been floating around the internet about evil organizations that aren’t *us* If your air conditioning goes out you’re calling me, whose been trained by the government, to come fix it. This entire country works on teamwork.
The dollar itself is the government. Every dollar you spend you are putting the government in motion. That’s how you be in control. Study your constitutions.
There is an America without Trump and in my insights I think our next president will be even better. I personally miss the professionalism that Trump is simply not bringing.
RJMM Oh hii
When cut,we all bleed the same color.
Rodneytyson Tycam no it didn’t. I know for a fact im better than Harvey Weinstein
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾❤️❤️
@Rodneytyson Tycam bull shi
@Heathen S so what you saying ??
@Heathen S ok
“First my president was black, now my president is wack”

…and a sexual predator! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12%3famp
@Michigan Wolverine in Dallas Believe All Women Right? Nothing in it for golddiggers to accuse a billionaire.
@GranMasta Dee Dude, you’re a moron. The allegations aren’t made up.
Rafael Cazares jeezy also has a song calling himself the Donald trump of the hood
I didn’t know who Jeezy is but, I love his energy and his message…
@Alex Gutierrez I’m most interested in what Ja Rules take is on what we should do during a pandemic.
@Alex Gutierrez smaller minded than most. Bet you live in the country and are afraid to go into the city because you might see a person of color.
@Reclusiarch Grimaldus he told the TRUTH……like it or not. Or u prefer people that did wrong….lie about it and punish others for less. Anyone that started in Hawkensville Ga that came from the bottom and made it to a place to reach back and try 2 help…..they have my respect. Judge ya self.
@Johnnie Pinkney made it to that place by selling crack
@Reclusiarch Grimaldus ok……he said himself that karma will call when She is ready. Judge urself.
I said to my self “is that Jeezy on nbc?” I had to click
I love how Ari is so musically inclined and I enjoy his hip hop knowledge.
Jeezy! He sounds like he’s rapping even when he’s talking to Ari
Hey! Keep that stomach and them thighs right, Jeezy there every night!!
jeezy dropped the recession when times were hard now he droppin again that’s what im talking about!!!!
I love this guy. He loves hip hop culture so much and he doesn’t care what his audience thinks
