Young Jeezy is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper Young Jeezy (Put On, I Luv It, Soul Survivor, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Young Jeezy, a cultural icon

Born Jay Wayne Jenkins in Columbia on September 28, 1977, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Young Jeezy's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jeezy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Young Jeezy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 49.

Happy Birthday, Jeezy, you're the best!
