I think I'm going out of order with The Jacka's two new albums but that's okay. I believe The Jacka's last album was "Tear Gas" which was rather well produced but seemed uninventive in all other categories. This is sort of the same exact deal except the production isn't as good as Tear Gas's was. Yet somehow I still think the production was the strongest part of the album. It's not overly impressive but you can appreciate it's subtlety and the work on the keys. That being said a lot of the beats sound the same with small changes done hear and there. As a matter of fact the whole album isn't very inventive and there isn't much that sets it apart from many other Bay area gangster rap efforts. The whole entire effort is like a blur. You just hear the same exact things over and over again for 11 tracks (Plus The Intro, Outro and Interlude) Basically 2-3 tracks worth of content spread out over an entire album. if anything this should've been a very short EP instead of an album. If I could pick one word to describe "Broad Daylight" that word would be GENERIC.
The thing I don't get is why does The Jacka only have one verse per track mostly? Yet again another reason this shouldn't be an album. A mixtape or EP at best but I digress. Other than Keak Da Sneak, The Jacka is bigger than all of his features. So who is gonna buy something because of T-Wayne? It would seem as you'll see in my review of his other 2010 album that The Jacka is going for the ol' quantity over quality method.
Though this album has nothing original, shouldn't even be an album, hell 90% of it shouldn't even exist because it's the same tired shit as the track before. I still can't give it a 1 out of 5 because a 1 out of 5 would literally have to be unlistenable. If I had to pick the 3 best tracks off of the album those 3 tracks would be, "We Mafia", "Have You No Fear" and "Try To Let Go". Come on Jacka, you're better than this.
