Jacky Jasper

This is part II of an article written by Dalton Higgins (part 1 here)  for CBC Music in Canada:

By the time Jasper came around to record his sophomore disc Higher Deeper Values, he says he had a change of heart.

“I realized I didn’t get paid off my first record. So the hustle wasn’t making sense. I started to ask questions. How much records did I sell?” Jasper asked to be released from his contract with Beat Factory and was told it wasn’t going to happen. He then decided that he was going to make the record he always wanted to make, with his underrated in-house producer Phil Cold.

Jasper was ultimately able to get out of his contracts through a bunch of street savvy moves, and figured out that Canada was not the ideal environment to be plying his trade. The subject matter on Higher Deeper Values was way too authentic and harsh for coy Canadian ears. Even the staff at the former Sam the Record Man flagship store threw his CDs out on Yonge Street.

“It was great controversy, but then I learned controversy doesn’t sell in Canada, it just gets you hated,” explains Jasper. “It’s too much for them.” Continue Reading…

Jacky Jasper: T-Dot pimp. Rap legend. Celebrity blogger

For those of you not familiar with my past, this is part one of a two piece article recently written by Dalton Higgins for CBC Music in Canada:

The history of hip-hop is littered with references to pimp culture, and has essentially made the idea of being an agent for prostitutes seem fashionable. The pimp persona that was popularized in Iceberg Slim novels can be found anywhere, from rapper Ice T and Too Short to Snoop Dogg’s spiritual advisor and ex-pimp Bishop Don Juan, to others like the late Pimp C (of legendary UGK crew), who even incorporated it in the naming process. When 50 Cent rhymed that he was a “P.I.M.P,” it zoomed to the top of the charts, though he wasn’t being literal.

But what happens when you’re a rapper who really was one? For Jacky Jasper, the artist formerly known as H Bomb (and HDV before that), translating the street hustle and pimp life to celluloid was never easy, being based in a safe, conservative city like Toronto. Continue Reading…

HSK has confirmed the legal name of the man hired by Jamie Foxx to physically attack Jacky Jasper. His name is John Clark, aka JC, aka Crock-Tyson.

We first told you about Clark after learning he accepted monies from Jamie Foxx as part of a transaction leading to an intended attack on Jacky Jasper. This before sources say Clark concocted a story claiming he spotted Jacky inside of a Los Angeles Coffee Bean, before beating your boy up.

Check out some more of the tea that’s being spilled:

“JC is a born liar. He just got out of jail about a year and half ago. JC lives off Jamie Foxx and Eddie Griffin. Continue Reading…

It seems that Jamie Foxx and Tyrese Gibson are looking to cause a ruckus of bullying against yours truly…

This past Friday, I received a telephone call from one of Tyrese’s soldiers (whose name I passed on to my attorney). It seems that Tyrese threw a temper tantrum after reading HSK’s report of Michael Bay’s cease and desist demand of Tyrese. (Let’s note: Whenever a white journalist reports negatively about Tyrese’s poor acting, he deals with it.)

About 5:30PM Monday, a seemingly ecstatic Tyrin Turner called me saying, “They got you uh?” I had no idea what dude was talking about. That’s when he broke it down saying, “You didn’t see a Nicca named JC in Coffee Bean?” I explained to dude that I don’t even drink coffee, adding that I even tell chics how coffee is bad for their nerves. Ty immediately gave me the dirt explaining, “Jacky, the lying Nicca said he saw you at Coffee Bean and he socked you up!” I responded by saying, “I hope Jamie didn’t pay him!” This just before our phone call dropped.
