The Inspiration (previously known as The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102) is the second studio album by Def Jam rapper Young Jeezy. The album was released on December 12, 2006 following mainstream circulation of its first single, "I Luv It". Young Jeezy leaked the second single, called "Bury Me a G", through the mixtape I Am The Street Dream. Now a third single has been released, "Go Getta" featuring R. Kelly. Guests on the album include T.I., Keyshia Cole, Timbaland, Bloodraw and Slick Pulla. This album leaked on to the internet on Thursday, November 30th. The font on the album cover art that reads "The Inspiration" is stylistically akin to that of the famous Godfather films. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, selling 352,000 copies. However, the following week it plummeted to Number 18, the third-biggest drop for a chart-topping album since 1991 and the fourth-biggest drop in history. As of April 05, it was #47 with 983,800 copies sold.
