Jeezy says Michael Phelps is the “Young Jeezy of the swim world”:

Michael Phelps’ run at the Olympics — eight gold medals, seven broken world records — is unprecedented, and according to Phelps he couldn’t have done it without Young Jeezy. Phelps typically listened to the Jeezy/R. Kelly collaboration “Go Getta” before hitting the pool, which Jeezy himself doesn’t find surprising. “All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.”

Michael Phelps — the man of the hour for the U.S. at the Olympics — is a big fan of Young Jeezy.

I’m a big fan of Michael Phelps! He’s a great success. I like what he’s doing. He’s like the Young Jeezy of the swim world. I love it!

Do you ever go swimming?

No, man. Somebody threw me in a pool once when I was younger and I had to work it out, but other than that, no.

    Jeezy’s right. his music is insperational, I think it inspires other artists to listen to his wack shy and do better- I always appreciate that.

    Young Jeezy-I am feeling your new song “Put On” remix with Jay Z. I look forward to your next album.

    If you got in you, can you drop a love song on it with Bey, Alica, or Mary J.

  • Graphixmeister

    Michael Phelps got one of the nastiest smiles going. Looks like that toothy mutant from ‘Hellraiser.’

  • blaq

    @ 6am

    Who are the biggest consumers of rap music? White teens and young adults. Phelps is right on track for endorsements, 50 can peddle vitamin water and whatever else he’s selling rapper affliation will only help. Being that Phelps has a deadbeat dad too, he probly has more in common with the rap community than you can see.

  • Somer

    I hate southern hip hop with a passion. I live in the A and cannot listen to the radio.

  • Kmia

    @ Its6amHoGetOut

    lol!! you’re not

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    6am, I still love 3% of ya’ll!

  • name

    6am…It’s sad how you don’t realize how ignorant you sound and even worse that people think it’s funny. Why do we continue to be offended when white folks make jokes you when we do such a great job on our own? Then you want to say it’s the rappers fault? Figures….simple nig**s!!!!

    P.S. Before you talk about the south, please describe how blacks are progressing any better in your own community. My guess is that it’s about the same.

  • Graphixmeister

    Okay, JJJ. Now I got your number. You’re into white dudes. Is it true that you’re only seventeen?

  • Mac

    When Phelps was being interviewed by Brian Williams and he asked M.P. what he was listening to before he won his medals he said “Lil Wayne’s I am Me” And Brian went on to say we all need a Lil Weezy in our lives. I know Weezy and Jeezy sound the same but it was Wayne he said he was listening to B4 his wins!

  • Graphixmeister

    I think y’all are crazy with all the Michael Phelp’s broohahaa. All I see is that demon with the chattering teeth from ‘Hellraiser.’

    Everyone should be proud of Mike Phelps’ accomplishments at this year’s Olympic Games.

    I am not fixed on gold medal number seven and many of you may not either.

    I have long held this simple theory, that in order to truly defeat the champion. The Challenger has to defeat the Champion by a larger margin. This action helps to make a statement.

  • Mock Rock Star

    Michael Phelps is one unattractive person…and so is Old Gezzy

    @ KINGDEON-COM wrote, “Everyone should be proud of Mike Phelps’ accomplishments at this year’s Olympic Games.”

    Too many folks fixated on race and looks – kind of like when black folks keep each other down by choosing the flashiest uneducated thug or hood rat with the most expensive (or lightest) baby gear. Except it’s being done to a kid who, by all accounts, is humble and hardw-working and never misses an opportunity to name-check his teammates in his success. And he’s white.

    Michael Phelps may be overexposed, but he’s not a bad guy (and the overexposure is on NBC, not himself). It’s too bad.

    You want to see some equally sad stuff, though, go to the white supremacist sites and look at how the American white racists talk negative about black Olympic athletes, particularly the Williams sisters. I guess at its heart, it’s Same Sh*t Different Day (or Race). If you don’t want to screw them, and they look different from you, then it doesn’t matter how great their accomplishment is, no matter where you sit on the fence you have to tear them down.
