Jacki-O: First lady of garbage

Introducing Jacki-O: new Miami rapper you probably haven't heard of, and probably never will. Think fellow Miami hotshot Trina, mixed with Lil' Kim, then take their inferior little sister and slap a mic in front of her. \nYes, it's just a mix tape, and look out for the new album coming soon, which she repeatedly warns on The Official Bootleg, but still there's no excuse for trying to sell copies by biting a Jay-Z beat and verse, as they do on "The Watcher Remix." Isn't a "remix" supposed to change the beat, or at least the lyrics? Then why is the first verse the exact same as on Blueprint 2? \nFreeway, fellow Roc-A-Fella mic-rocker, is featured several times on Official Bootleg. Spitting verses, he most likely debuted for Jay-Z and Damon Dash as they shook their heads and told him to throw the lyrics out. He probably ended up using them here because they're all garbage. \nSo, if you have an extra ten bucks you found in the street or got it from an aunt you didn't know existed, you're better off investing it in your own rap career, a Trina record or just crumbling it up and tossing it out the window. It'd be more painless than listening to this.
