Young Jeezy covers the August/September issue of The Source. Issue available on newsstands August 23.

Young Jeezy discuss the concept behind 8732 and the cease and desist letter he received from the government.

You get a double feature of Jeezy with this one as he drops two videos in one. The one we are more interested in is My Camaro which reminds us a lot of Latifah’s deal with Ford and the Mustang for her video “Fast Car.” Only difference is Latifah had a front end deal with Ford to promote the car and got paid…Chevrolet currently has no deal with Jeezy so he’s doing it for the love.

Young Jeezy x Janky Promoters. We were the first to break the news that the Weinsteins were pulling the plug on the completed Ice Cube and Mike Epps comedy Janky Promoters, and staying true to our reports, The Weinstein Company officially released the movie straight-to-DVD with no marketing, no media and no promotions last Tuesday. The movie was filmed over a year ago and starred Ice Cube, Friday franchise counterpart Mike Epps and a special musical performance by Young Jeezy (see video clip after jump) and originally was developed and set to be distributed by The Weinstein Company as part of their push for urban films.

At the time, the Weinstein Company also developed and was set to distribute Hurricane Season starring Bow Wow and Lil Wayne to give the studio a formidable 1-2-punch in the urban film genre. Unfortunately, as we previously reported, The Weinsteins ran into financial difficulty and were forced to shelve a majority of their 2009 slate because they wouldn’t be able to afford the distribution and marketing costs. Janky Promoters was then taken off the release schedule and Cube and his production company Cube Vision awaited a new release date from the Weinsteins.

As time went on and the 3rd quarter of 2009 rolled around, our insiders report that The Weinstein Company had to make the decision to completely cut certain films from their slate and sell off the rights or distribute straight-to-DVD. In the case of Janky Promoters, it was decided that with the star power of Ice Cube behind it and it being a comedy which generally rent well, that they would go straight-to-DVD and take their chances with it as a Blockbuster exclusive.

If you squint your eyes and look at the cover from afar he almost looks like Tyrese…that or Arnold from “Diff’rent Strokes.” Nice cover though…the issue also has another good feature with KAWS and Clipse in it.

Unfortunately the contest has past but Young Jeezy gives viewers a closer look of the “Snowman”.

So we got DJ Hero, Scratch The Ultimate DJ and now Def Jam enters the interactive hip-hop music gaming set with Def Jam Rapstar. Unlike the first two games where the user gets to play a DJ, in Rapstar you are…well…the rap star.

It’s basically a glorified rap karaoke game officially endorsed by Def Jam and their roster of artists. Here is the first official trailer featuring the music of Young Jeezy followed by an insider look at the game by one of the developers.

Adidas and Def Jam Records have collaborated for a Def Jam 25th anniversary line of sneakers including custom models commemorating Method Man, Ghost Face, Young Jeezy and Redman.
