One of the dudes over at rapreviews.com considered "The Jack Artist" to be the best album of 2005. This is what he said:
"I'll be the first to admit that 90% of the albums that come out of the Bay area in California are garbage. While the market is full of wack compilations from every street hustler and albums made in what sounds like minutes, every now and then an artist steps his game up and makes something truly dope. This year The Jacka dropped a soulful and heartfelt representation of life in Cali. Fueled by Rob Lo's superior production, "The Jack Artist" was accessible as any street album to date and saw the emergence of one of the West Coast's most promising emcees."
(The first two sentences might hurt somebody`s feelings though)

Sorry if this has been posted already!

I agree w/ most of what he said...Jacka deserves the recognition...because he does HIM and he didn't hop on the hyphy bandwagon which could have been a very easy way for him to get recognition. He chose to stick to his guns and was successful w/ it...I hope to hear much more from this guy in the near future.

I'm not to hot about Hus tho...he's kinda boo-boo IMO.

the bay has gotta be more oversaturated with rappers than any other area in the world. I mean every drug dealer, hustler, pimp, rich kid and their mamas seem to be a "rapper." so considering all that, 90% probably is a low number so he was probably being a bit generous with that statement.

but on the real, its great to see the jack and rob lo gettin their due recognition. His album was certainly the best of 05 in the whole world IMO

I just interviewed Jacka for the March edition of UK rap magazine Hip hop Connection, i'm tryin to get him known out here
Ay cuzzin, do you write regularly for that magazine HHC?

I used to get that shit the whole time, I got every single damn issue from 94 to about 01 stacked up in boxes somewhere, but it fell the fuck off, hows it now, I ain't checked it for a minute?

I gotta say I'm surprised to hear a Bay Area cat is going to be up in that, what kind of space you getting for the interview, is it just going to be a small column or are we talking pages?

I gave up on that shit since they never covered West Coast acts and were on the nuts of some of the weakest mainstream artists, the whole thing gotta boring and gay as hell.

The final straw came when the actually bothered to review the new Click album (first mention of the Bay in about 3 years) and the reviewer spit a lot of ignorant shit.

I think the fool spelt a couple of names wrong, explained how Celly Cel was a member and tried to sound like a smart ass but came off actually not knowing shit.

I stopped then since I was no longer reading anything I didn't know, but was reading a lot of bullshit I didnt care about... so what bay cats been up in there since. Or is Jack the first?

Lemme know playa, I'm hella interested to hear how the magazine is now.
