The Jacka, Bay Area Rap Hero, Dead at 37
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...at-37-20150203
Rest in Peace, sade news. Im glad I got the chansen to see him live a could of years ago
When I saw the thread title I thought Canibus was dead. Ahahahahaha
wooow
rip
I've never heard his music but I bet he got killed because he was in the hood and he shouldn't have been there. Rappers that got money need to move outta the hood and go to the suburbs. Don't go back to the hood to visit your friends and family because blacks in the hood aren't happy for you. It's really sad that he's dead at 37 and he was a year younger than me. It's sad that so many rappers think for them to keep it real, they gotta hang out in the hood with their ignorant friends and live in the hood because if they don't do that, they won't be considered real. That's a dumb ass mentality to have. It's about survival and being able to live for a long time because it's not cool to die at a young age and a lot of black men are dying young over dumb shit. When does the madness ever end in black neighborhoods?
lol...the jack artist on constant repeat. that just sounds fucked up, i like it
will check this out, thanks gg
CJ, you really are a scumbag. How do you know he didn't live there? What makes you think this guy made enough money to move out of the hood. The only reason you don't live in the hood is because you live with your mommy & daddy. You are fucking 38 years old with no job. How the fuck are you going to comment on this man's life?
Art Vandelay, fuck your retarded bitch ass. Who gives a shit that I live with my parents and I have no job. Does your faggot ass think I really wanna be in that situation? Maybe he did live in the hood and he should've moved out to the suburbs. Ain't no excuse for him to be making a bunch of albums and not save his money so he could live in the suburbs. So his death is his fault because the hood isn't a safe place to be.
Dick Breath, you're not understanding. Although he made several albums, he probably didn't sell enough to be able to move out of the hood.
He wasn't as fortunate enough as your stupids ass to have a daddy to move him to the suburbs rent free.
Well if he didn't make enough money from his albums, he should've gotten a job so he could move out the hood. There's rooms available at people's houses in the suburbs who are looking for roommates. He could've done that until he could afford a apartment or house. When I had a full time job, I was considering living with a roommate in the suburbs. When I get a full time job, I'm gonna live with a roommate in the suburbs until I can get my own place.
are you two still meeting up for corned beef?
charles, is the roommate going to be a friend of yours or like from an ad? I think you had said you don't have any friends though right?
I don't have any friends and the roommate would be from a Craigslist ad. I might consider moving back to Cleveland if I can't find a job because I can live with my mom's sister or brother. I'm not meeting Art Vandelay ever. He's a jerk. I'll meet up with Olive Oil Goombah.
Since Art Vandelay wants to use the excuse that The Jacka couldn't move to the suburbs because he didn't sell a lot of records, what about independent rappers Brand Nubian, Paris(he's from Oakland like The Jacka), Dead Prez, Wise Intelligent, KRS One, Kam, CL Smooth, Boots of The Coup(he's from Oakland like The Jacka), Ras Kass? I can name several other underground rappers who probably live in the suburbs. These guys do concerts and I know they make a lot of money doing that because they don't only get money from album sales. The Jacka is dead because he was too ignorant to see that he should've used his money wisely and moved outta the hood to the suburbs. Like I said if he didn't have enough money to get a apartment in the suburbs which he should've been able to get, he could've lived with a roommate in the suburbs. I'm tired of these rappers being in the hood and thinking that it's cool to be there so they can keep it real to their fans and ignorant friends. What they don't understand is that being in the hood will get you killed.
I can't believe I fell into this trap of arguing with you, Corned Beef Jones. Every one of those rappers that you mentioned, I've heard of. They all have had long careers. They have all sold albums and had sold out rap shows. I've never heard of this Jacka character. maybe you are right. maybe he did make enough money to move, but more likely he didn't.
not every rapper makes money.
You do realize that if it wasn't for your mommy and daddy, you wouldn't be living in the suburbs? your mommy and daddy should cut the umbilical cord and see what happens to you. you're older than the jacka and you don't have your own house, apartment or even computer.
Yeah I realize I would be homeless if I wasn't living with my parents. But at least I would apply for low income housing and section 8 so I can live in the suburbs. There's a few blacks who live in my neighborhood who are section 8. I'm gonna look into applying for section 8 because I don't wanna live in the projects. I applied for low income housing years ago from Virginia housing authority and they finally sent me a letter last summer talking about I'm still on the waiting list. I threw the letter away because they'll probably never get me a place to live. I would have a apartment if I could get a job but I can't get one. And that's why I'm gonna seek help from a psychiatrist to find out why do I have a hard time getting and keeping a job because my work history is sporadic. That's why jobs haven't been calling me. I had a hard time keeping jobs when I was in Cleveland and that's why I was forced to move to Maryland. I should've seeked help in Cleveland from a psychiatrist so I could see if I could've got government money and I would've still been there. I might consider moving back there if I don't get a job here because my mom's sister and brother live there.
I don't want hard labor jobs because I used to work at several factories in Cleveland and I hated those jobs. If I only wanna do cleaning, that's my business. I don't tell you what job you should choose.
no, you were forced to move to maryland because your mommy and daddy moved to maryland and you are a 38 year old child incapable of taking care of yourself.
It is our business when you refuse to get a job that pays you a decent wage because you are lazy.
you are using tax dollars that we pay, for free housing, free food and a free psychiatrist.
Art Vandelay, fuck your fat bitch ass for judging my living situation. I don't give a shit what you or anybody else thinks about the way I live. Fat, no pussy getting bastard.
lol
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I don't judge you, CJ, but how is this different than you judging The Jacka for living in the hood? Yeah he could've moved out of there, but what do you know about his reasons for staying? What do you know about his life that gives you the right to call him ignorant for being shot, and then get mad when others sit in judgement on you for living with your parents with no job when you're 38 years old?
Ahahahaha...... classic thread.
I know that sounds crazy but actually I'm glad I didn't move out when I had my full time job because if I had, I would've ended up moving back with my parents especially since I lost my job. It's really sad that most jobs aren't stable and the people in power at the jobs don't give a shit about the employees. It's always been that way. My dad lost his job like that and he was a good worker. Every job he's had, he's done his job and it still didn't mean shit to his supervisor. Same thing with my mom. My mom lost her last job because she got sick and had breast cancer. She was offered a part time job at her last job but she didn't want it.
The Hound, when you get a chance, check out White Man's Burden movie with John Travolta and Harry Belafonte. It's about blacks and whites being switched meaning blacks having all the money and power and whites being poor. John played a poor working man who lost his job at a factory I think and Harry was the owner of the business that John worked at. Harry was rich and had a lot of money. John kidnapped him and demanded to have his job back. Kelly Lynch who was Patrick Swayze's woman in Road House was John's wife. She's hot.
Zooruka, why shouldn't I see a psychiatrist? That's the only way I'm gonna get help and find out why I can't keep a job. I need to see one anyway because I got some paperwork for him or her to fill out so I can give it to social services so they can approve me for temporary cash until I can find a job. If i get diagnosed for having a learning disability, I may not be able to work anymore and i'll have to get government money like SSDI. I'm not getting any unemployment money since I was denied for getting fired from my last job.
Charles, If you are not the ultimate secondary and what you write on Wu tang corp about your life/situation is true. If you go to a psychiatrist and start telling them all that stuff, they will completely "destroy" you.
Charles, Their job is not to diagnose learning disabilities/ why you can't keep a job, thier job is to disgnose and treat so called psychiatric problems. ( Which BTW they have a funny habit of always finding)
I would stay away if you don't want anymore problems in your life.
CJ, I would be willing to bet that 9 years is the longest anybody on this forum has had a single job. Sounds like you are lazy and you just want free money. Or your mommy and daddy put you up to this.
Rest In Peace to Jacka ten years ago today.
