(Blacktrash) The Autobiography of Kirk Jones [Explicit Lyrics]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It seems that Sticky Fingaz has experienced something of an epiphany. On Black Trash, the former lead screamer of Onyx has found humility and a metaphysical alter ego, Kirk Jones, an unrepentant player whose short life and death is related on this record in wide-screen psychodrama. But have no fear, Sticky Fingaz may have developed a cerebral edge but he's as raucous and rowdy as ever. Among the other superstar actors on this boom-bap teleplay is Raekwon, who features on the hook to the introspective Rockwilder-produced "Money Talks." Rah Digga plays a formidably frosty judge on the courtroom drama "State vs. Kirk Jones," while (as defending attorney) Redman fails to keep his client from the clink. Eminem provides the honky chorus on the operatic "What If I Was White," in which Kirk muses what would happen if is he was the "color of cocaine." Fellow Onyx thug Fredro Starr (now known as Firestarr) appears on the fiery "Get It Up." Once Kirk reaches his predicted (sticky) end, Mr. Fingaz is left with the realization that "it's easier to get a gun than an education" before unexpectedly breaking into a faithful rendition of Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World"; a fitting conclusion to this ghetto cabaret. --Chris Campion

STICKY'S THE MAN!.......2007-01-16
A VERY UNDERRATED RAPPER FROM NEW YORK! THIS WAS A EXTREMLY GOOD TELL A STORY THREW LYRICALLY EXPLANATION! ALOT OF TODAYS RAPPERS SHOULD HAVE THE SKILL TO DO SO! WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM ITS LIKE YOUR WATCHING A GOOD THUG MOVIE! THIS CD SHOULD BE IN EVERY REAL HIP HOPPERS TOP TEN LIST!
Absolutely incredible...one of my all-time favorites.......2006-12-30
Sticky Fingaz' 2001 solo debut "Blacktrash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones" is one of my absolute favorite hip hop albums of all time. Start to finish this record is simply phenomenal and unlike anything I have ever heard. As great as Onyx is, this album showed what a genius Sticky Fingaz is and the music he is capable of. "Blacktrash" plays like a movie, telling a chronicling story of the life of a criminal. There is so much emotion throughout the album that it really makes me emotional every time I listen to it, and it totally engrosses me. Following the journey of Kirk Jones through his troubles with the law, relationships, financial difficulty, desperation, and depression is a roller coaster ride, sometimes sad and depressing, humorous, frustrating, but overall just amazing. The phenomenal list of guest performers (Blackchild, Raekwon, X1, Still Livin, Rah Digga, Redman, Canibus, Scarred 4 Life, Lord Superb, Guess Who, Dave Hollister, Petey Pablo, Eminem, Fredro Starr, and Columbo the Shining Star) provide a cast of well-played characters, including family members, friends, accomplices, an entire court, and even God himself. Actor Omar Epps plays the role of a narrator. The production comes from New York producers including Rockwilder and others, and the music is consistently excellent. I cannot recommend this album enough. I just love this album so much.
After an intro that sets the scene well, the album begins with "Come On," a hard-hitting screamer that will recall the Onyx albums of the past. "My Dogz Iz My Gunz" is awesome, an excellently-produced angry song describing Kirk's tendency towards weapons. "Not Die'N" speaks of Jones's inability to die because of his state in life. "Money Talks" is excellent. Wu-Tang legend Raekwon and Sticky rap metaphorically from the point of view of money itself, an ingeniously concepted song. "Why" is a highlight, the song that profiles the conversations that Kirk and his accomplice have during a jewelry robbery and how their arguments lead to their ultimate downfall. The great beat and hook make this song a completely awesome track. "Oh My God" is the conversation a desperate Kirk Jones has with God. This song is phenomenal. He asks God questions about life and the answers really make you think. Probably my favorite point of the story is "State Vs. Kirk Jones," which portrays an intense court proceeding through rhymes. Rah Digga is an angry Judge Battle, and Redman plays Kirk's unqualified lawyer. This is an awe-inspiring and very effective song the likes of which I have never heard. "Baby Brother" is beautiful musically. The song is a telephone conversation that Kirk has with his brother from jail, making the painful realization that his sibling "will end up just like me." Dave Hollister makes an inspired appearance. "Cheatin'" and "Whatchu Want" show an angry and depressed Kirk and his mentality. "Ghetto" is an entertaining track showing the philosophy of people in the ghetto, and "What If I Was White" wonders how life would be different were he Caucasian, with Eminem on the hook. Kirk struggles to apologize on the heartfelt "Sister I'm Sorry," and the energetic "Get It Up" follows. After "Licken Off in Hip Hop," the album ends beautifully with a cover of Louie Armstrong's "Wonderful World." This ending really sums up Kirk's sad life and demise, and has a lot of inspiring moments.
"Blacktrash" is one of the most remarkable works of music I have ever heard. This album is embarrassingly underrated and should be considered a classic the likes of the legendary hip hop albums. A concept album has never been executed so perfectly as "Blacktrash." I think all kinds of music fans will love this album as I have for so long.
5 stars only cause I can't put more..........2006-09-21

AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE FROM START TO FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-07-28
It's true. It is the work of a genius. Fingaz is definately among the all-time untouchables. This is a phenomenal cd, beats, rappin, and all. Fingaz' work is definitely at the top. He has established himself as his own unique self with great confidence. I don't think Fingaz needs help from anybody but the guests on his album are fanstastic as well. There is not one weak song on this cd. I can easily listen to it from start to finish, and still want more. Fingaz' cd is not only killer beats and incomparable rappin but it has depth, breadth, and quality messages. Fingaz really makes you think. He hits you in the head as well as the heart. Now that is the work of a genius. His cd is not just words and music, it is life. TO FINGAZ AND HIS CREW, THANK-YOU FOR AN UNSURPASSING WORK OF ART AND CREATIVITY! It is beautiful! And thank-you especially for a clean version.-------An advocate for clean/edited hip-hop.
