Andrew Barker weighs in the new video of  Young Jeezy featuring Kanye West, "Put On"

Many former drug-dealers have parlayed tales of street hustling into lucrative rap careers, but few have done so with as little insight and wit as Atlanta's Young Jeezy. At best, his songs are insubstantial, socially irresponsible trifles that sound pretty good blasting out of car stereos; at worst, his slow Southern drawl is the sound of intelligence being steadily siphoned from the brain.
By those very specific standards, new single "Put On" ranks among his better works. Though the somber video seems to suggest that Jeezy is turning his sights toward politics, he quickly returns to themes (and for that matter, rhymes) that should sound familiar to anyone who's heard any of his previous records -- all over a serviceable Drumma Boy beat that should go over well on radio.
In other words, all goes according to script until the latter half of the song, when Kanye West shows up. Much like the urge to hop on the disco bandwagon ruined many a promising rock song in the late '70s, here Kanye scuttles a perfectly good guest verse with some of the most inexplicable Auto-Tune abuse yet put to wax. It provokes a strange sort of cognitive dissonance -- his lyrics are surprisingly sad, lamenting his anger and loneliness after the death of his mother, yet every syllable is manipulated to sound like Stephen Hawking on helium. But as off-putting as it is, it's neither monotonous nor predictable, making it the highlight of the tune by default.
