He promoted the Trial series heavy tho. Even came out with a compendium package later on that had all of the four.

I know... He probably had some sort of deal through Siccness.net or they paid him up front for it, almost all of their releases are like that. Tthey put out that Beanie Sigel/Freeway album, Mobb Deep and a ton of other artists the same way.

The Jacka got so many classic verses man...



"Circle the block with the chops out, hit the corner
with the chop drawn, blasting heavy metal like a rock song
Never will settle, cause I plan to have it locked on
Dope game baby, you need this shyt
You love this shyt, I remember back in 86
That's when it would start,
I look around, I'm by myself, at least a nikka got heart :wow:
Watching my mother in the struggle, mayne it's breaking my heart :mjcry:
Time is catching up, this sorta life done pierced my skin
In the 6th grade, pushing rocks 11:00 to 10:00 :mjcry:
All my nikkas was just innocent youth back then,

In the Rich, shyt was mainey but I learned to blend in
Me and Fed-X was innocent youth back then..."

The level of soul in this shyt man... They don't make em like this anymore. On top of that this was before State Property made the soulful lyrical gangsta rap shyt mainstream... Jacka really was an innovator in this genre.

This song is just ridiculous... The blues for a new generation



(Verse 1)

Is that your baby Darryl?
I blow so much trees I think I'm sterile,
She can't be mine... :pachaha: eyes wide but I'm blind,
I'm driving but I think I'm flying,
loaded out my mind tryna hold it together
Standing in this place where the fiends bring cheddar
To them nikkas on the block most likely with a wetter,
Can't get caught slipping out here young dude,
My patna dipped through, his whole whip got chewed :mjcry:
Died young and confused but never made the news
:wow:
You see my face on the wanted poster, MOB shyt
But it's not La Cosa Nostra, I'm a fukkin soldier
Only froze just to pose for a picture
You beg to differ, can't understand the hop sniffer
I understood even when i didn't think I could
:wow:


(Verse 2)

I'm a mobsta, eating fish and pasta
Drug dealer, take all my gear straight to the cleaners
When I'm in the Midwest I get dressed at Harold Pener's
Speak what's on my mind, release what's held in us :ohlawd:
Getting loud with the Jack? You'll need a trip to the dentist
Remind me of my life every time I watch Menace
The world believe in us so the DJs spin us :blessed:
The feds raid all the time, be straight tryna send us :pacspit:
In the end it's a bytch, best friends become snitches
Scared to do a few years? You forgot who you is :camby:
I feel the worst, nikka have you ever seen a head burst?
Keep it trill boy, why you gotta lie to me?
It's war outside, don't wanna die? Stay on the side of me :wow:

Y'amsayin? (it's real tho)
Cause I'd never send you on a fukkin move you can't face :wow:
You ain't built for murder, but that's another case
I fukked with Fed-X, cause he ain't scared to blast
I thought I'd never kill a man but then time passed
I had the nine to him closer than his eyelash
I used to laugh but now I think about if I'll last
:whew:

The jacka's tapes i named were definitely official tho. The trial series seemed like one of his mainline solo series, and that was trash as well.

His best work seems to be the collaboration tapes he did with other veterans, besides his few classic solo records. He was just putting out too much stuff, and it was quantity over quality.

The only unofficial ones that come out was like 2 records that showed up after his passing on itunes briefly before being take down.

The lean or whatever else he was using made him wacker in his later years too. He needed to get in shape and healthy.

Jacka's ability to paint a picture with words was A1... his verses stayed having crazy ass imagery that really made you understand where he was coming from.



(Verse 2)

"400 kilos dipped in wax
Crack em open with a baby axe then bust em to packs
Hustlin in the place where coke pushers get flat
The boy Fed in the Dodge Mag, blue on black
It was a 100 thousand last month I blew on black
Seen muhfukkas die in they Teflon vest :wow:
I'm in the Rari gettin high with the tank on F
I hope I say Allah is great with my last breath
It ain't checkers it's chess, knock you out with my left
Take your life with my right then blend in with the night
I know the whole MOB tough, but we don't fight
I'd rather see your brains hang on your coke whites

(verse 3)

I said in the drug business some boys are students
Time to go hard, mama can't pay the rent
I can't see my future in all of this shyt
The killers in the hood just resort to violence
Wanna be in the light but I hate the sirens
:whoo:
nikkas hate, I'm tired and got my mind on whatever,
You could say whatever but don't cross me never,
The game been good to me but it won't last forever,
A little in the past wish for times to get better
The truths from my religion all I need to remember"

nikkas need to stop fronting on the Jacka like he wasn't one of the best lyricists of the new millenium :ufdup:

:wow:

I never checked this series out....I will now

That song's off of Mob Trial 3, the 1st one has some of his best material ever though... "Sicilian Breeze", "A Gangsta's Gangsta", "Thrones and Crowns", etc. are all must-listens if you fukk with The Jacka. Really though its some of the Mob Figaz's best material ever and the only album aside from their C-Bo debut that I consider a real group album. The way Nick Peace laced that album... :wow:
