This is Michael Mixerr. I'll review some more gangsta ass shit from Mack Tha Jack'a in Saginaw, Michigan! His first cassette came out on U BE U in 1993 in the Saginaw area sold 5,000 copies locally! This is one of the realist cassettes to ever drop outta Saginaw in 1993 next to Hank's debut cassette. Dope G-Funk lyrics and beats filled with horrorcore violence on top of that classic smooth gangsta rap. Mr. Pratt of Killa Productions and Gee Pierce of U BE U Studios do the productions of this EP. The Skanless Presents…Mack Tha Jack'a! Stevie Mack is Mack Tha Jack'a!
Stevie Mack is Mack Tha Jack'a on the Intro: Stevie Mack. Mack Tha Jack'a takes on a wild ride on out the introduction. The introduction of Stevie Mack is self-explanatory.
Kids playing outside are heard at the beginning of the intro. They are chanting: “Stevie Mack, dressed in black, he had a semi-automatic strap.” A parent tells the kids to get their ass in the house. As far as the parent is concerned Stevie Mack is dead. The door creaks open only to hear a murderous bloodshed has occurred by multiple gunshots. To where, who knows? The intro is very short, playalistic, gangsta, and killa! All at the same time! Mack Tha Jack'a showcases what is to be foreshadowing a wild ride throughout the entire album. This is on hell of an intro and is pure fucking fire! Mack Tha Jack'a ain't the one to fuck with after all.
Mack Tha Jack'a is a self-explanatory track about who Mack Tha Jack'a is. The Mack Tha Jack'a track is rather short however. This one is pure fucking fire!
Mack Tha Jack'a explains about what events were going on in his life at time he recorded this album. Such as how he was doing financially, him having a child so his pockets start hurting from a financial standpoint, living a life of crime, selling crack cocaine, dealing with the turmoil economy of Michigan, and how Saginaw as a city got bad with its share of problems.
Mack Tha Jack'a is a repetitive track to most professional music critics but fuck them! This track is the shit! Mack Tha Jack'a repping U BE U to the fullest on this one. That G-funk synth was a good note. It gives you that eerie vibe that Esham displayed at one point.
It's 1993 and times are hard in the city of Saginaw. Mack Tha Jack'a doesn't give a fuck. Mack Tha Jack'a was selling stones at the time on the East Side of Saginaw and the Sunny Side (South Side). He has a child so his pockets started hurting from a financial standpoint. The rest is about "being about that life" knowing that haters never could live this lifestyle of crime that Mack Tha Jack'a is rapping about. How can you understand this life? How can you live this live? You can’t understand this life that Mack Tha Jack'a lives.
Doin’ Dirt is about how Mack Tha Jacka did his crimes throughout the city of Saginaw. Mack Tha Jack'a heavily relies on G-Funk to make this track enjoyable with help from U BE U producers Gee Pierce, Don Q, and Mr. Pratt. They are funky producers. Doin’ Dirt is a classic example of how gangsta rap should be.
He explains thoroughly how he committed his crimes throughout the city of Saginaw ranging from burglary to murder from drug dealing to gambling. Everything that’s related to hustlin’ in the streets. Haters never could live this lifestyle of crime that Mack Tha Jack'a is rapping about. How can you understand this life? How can you live this live? You can’t understand this life that Mack Tha Jack'a lives.
Mack Tha Jacka did his dirt in his days like a dirty dog. He packs a glock in his pants to make them niggaz dance. So he turned to the illegal drug trade for economic development. He can’t help it due to the economic downfall in Saginaw. Now he’s laying low like a bullfrog. He’s laying low in his neighborhood. He continues to associate with drug dealers as an associate. Money talks, bullshit walks.
Feelin 4 A Killin' is about how Mack Tha Jack'a had a feeling to kill people. Feelin 4 A Killin' is one of those killing track that makes you want to kill someone. A person perhaps you had a grudge against in the past or for whatever fucking reason. This is that music you play before you kill somebody. [A killing song.] It's kill a cop music in a skanless way. Feelin 4 A Killin' is much more darker than Cop Killer by Body Count. This that Skanless sick ass shit no one can fuck with!
He’s got a feelin for killin’. These bullets that Mack Tha Jacka shoots out you could never duck. Mack Tha Jacka will be creeping while you’re asleep in your bedroom. You’ll meet the Jacka , but you’ll never get to speak a word. You’ll look me in the eyes and say “That’s Stevie Herd!” He’ll leave with all your dough as you bleed. Mack Tha Jack'a doesn't give a fuck in the police come. If them Burt Street Boys can kill them, Mack Tha Jacka can too. Mack tha Jacka makes reference to them Burt Street Boys which is a local gang in Saginaw. Note how this is the only track where Mack Tha Jacka gives away his legal name Stephen Herd.
Mack Tha Jacka is now located in the basement staring at the ceiling. Now he’s got a feelin for killin’. Ron Pratt sniffed much cocaine. A drug deal just went bad and now Mack wants to kill someone or rather go on a killing spree. It continues from there.
He’s got a feelin for killin’. He wonders, “What am I to do?” He tells his shrink about his problems. The shrink is scared of Mack Tha Jack'a which is said by the shrink. 60 homicides reported in Saginaw, Michigan. The police have evidence of the murders on the map of Saginaw, Michigan. The killing kills; it never stops. The killing trends never stop.
Cross Thoughts is the first track on the Mackin Side of the cassette. If you dig deep inside the mind which contains a box of cross thoughts. It's all about the thoughts of a deranged killa. A boss takes a loss. Mack Tha Jack'a puts in work on the emphasis a ⅓rd of the way through the Cross Thoughts track.
Cross Toughts talks about how Mack Tha Jack'a grew up in a cycle of poverty and how he overcame poverty. Mack Tha Jack'a needs SSI but is ineligible to qualify for SSI, so he turned to the illegal drug trade as an inevitable result. The horrorcore element is very much prevalent in this track here. Cross Thoughts is very horrorcore how Mack Tha Jack'a makes references to voodooism. Mack Tha Jack'a hit hard on this track!
Steady Stackin' is a track that calms the whole mood down for the Mackin Side of the cassette. The Fleetwood Mac sample is prefect calming down an albums mood for the entire album. Steady Stackin' untwists the violence down. Ironically the track is about steady stacking income while leading a life of crime.
Mack Tha Jack'a is peeping out a lick in the neighborhood while selling drugs. Now Mack Tha Jack'a is the only nigga in his hood pumpin' crack. It takes a heart to be a killa, G. It's all about money macking, big pimping, and pistol packing! He calls up Mr. Pratt to prepare his next flight so he can make some more transactions on drugs.
This is one playalistic track!
Mack Tha Jack'a gives shout outs to the Skanless Family. [Particularly Damon The Demon Seed and Bone Skanless (R.I.P.).] Mack Tha Jack'a explains at the end of Steady Stackin' about how he found Bone Skanless. Mack Tha Jack'a went through the roughest and foulest ghettoes to find this nigga, That Nigga Bone. [Bone Skanless that is.]
The last track is Outro - Skanless Family with Damon The Demon Seed and Bone Skanless (R.I.P.).
This is one hell of an outro! Mack Tha Jack'a is a part of the Skanless Family along with Bone Skanless and Damon The Demon Seed. Not to mention Mr. Pratt. One thang is for sure is that the Skanless Family knew how to be Skanless on a level that nobody knew how to fuck with! Mack Tha Jack'a is taking these niggaz out on this outro! Mack Tha Jack'a went through the roughest foulest ghettoes to find this nigga, That Nigga Bone that is.
The Skanless Family is Mack Tha Jack'a, Bone Skanless, Dirty Jerk, and Damon The Demon Seed as well as others too. Mack Tha Jack'a, Bone Skanless, and Damon The Demon Seed were ahead of their time.
I'm not sure what the difference between Skanless Family and Skanbino Mob. I'm not sure if it's all one family or not.
With that said, Mack Tha Jack'a, Bone Skanless, Mexican Mike, Dirty Jerk, Nalda, Madame Dane, and Damon The Demon Seed were ahead of their time. The Skanless Family is Mack Tha Jack'a, Bone Skanless, and Damon The Demon Seed. As well as others too. Mack Tha Jack'a is the fucking man!! This is that Skanless sick ass shit no one can fuck with! It's Skanless Family 4 Life!!
I rate this self-titled album, 5/5*****!!
