Contents

The album had been delayed for nearly two years, missing several purported release dates which have all been denied by representatives from Def Jam Recordings. The album marks the third album in his Thug Motivation series, along with Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 (2005), and The Inspiration (2006).

Background

After initially being announced in 2009, [1] the album was delayed for nearly two years and missed several release dates attached to it, including June 2010, [2] August 2010, [2] December 2010, [2] and July 26, 2011,—exactly six years to the release date of his debut studio album, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 . [3] Def Jam Recordings representatives declared these rumors false, however, Young Jeezy announced through the social networking site Twitter that the album was definitely completed, although at the time a release date—genuine or not—was not attached to the album. [3] The date given was, in fact, the day after Young Jeezy was due to perform the whole of his aforementioned debut album at New York City's Highline Ballroom, on the sixth anniversary of the release of the album. During the show on July 25, 2011, he announced that TM 103 would be released on September 20, 2011. [4] However, Young Jeezy later revealed that the album's release date would be December 20, 2011.

TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on 16 reviews. [28] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 6.1 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus. [27]

David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "Here he's driven by the hunger to put things back where they were and live up to TM:103's official subtitle, Hustlerz Ambition, along with its unofficial one, Trap or Die Tryin'." [29] Chris Coplan of Consequence said, "Despite its success, this album gives us some idea as to why Jeezy has caught on and also why he isn't any bigger than he is now. Maybe he'll finally learn his lesson in TM:104?" [31] King Eljay of AllHipHop said, "It's painful to say, but this is nothing more than a good album. Unfortunately for most Jeezy fans, we needed a great one, and this isn't it. Don't get it twisted; this is still a solid album, but it falters to reach the standards he set for himself out of the gate." [39] William E. Ketchum III of HipHopDX said that Jeezy "gives a worthy addition to the series and continues his reign as one of rap's best." [40]

Jayson Greene of Pitchfork said, "Thug Motivation somehow feels both airless and over-inflated, the sound of an artist trying to revisit something gone." [33] Jonah Weiner of Rolling Stone said, "Jeezy stays stubbornly true to form on TM:103, rapping with minimal embellishment about getting rich (and high), treating beautiful cars poorly and beautiful women worse." [35] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews said, "Thanks in large part to the beats and the guest appearances, and in small part to Jeezy's frank delivery and raspy voice, it leans more toward the former [enjoyable] than the latter [obnoxious], leading me to give this album a cautious thumbs up." [41] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times gave it an average review and called it "a step forward for Young Jeezy, even if everyone around him is walking much faster." [42] Wilson McBee of Prefix Magazine said it "certainly has its moments, but on the whole it's bogged down by too much middling material." [43] Ralph Bristout of XXL said, "Despite the abundance of features (twelve), Snow's fourth studio album is indeed a win. It's not glutted with a blizzard of coke boasts like his previous projects in the TM series, and offers a little more variety than just street cuts. But rest assured, the album is filled with anthems that'll have you riding around your hood all day with your gun shit." [44]

Commercial performance

TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, selling 233,000 copies in the first-week. [45] On July 2, 2020, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping over a million copies in the United States. [46]
