So says a local rapper with an attitude. In a new track dissing the H.E.L.L. outta CL, he calls the alt weekly a "phony publication" with articles "shorter than Kenny Baker." (We did the Googles. That's actually the little-person actor who played the original R2D2). Just released in the last 24 hours, the song titled "check (Creative Loafing diss)" features an emcee named Jacket. And. This. Cat. Is. Spitting. Hot. Fiyah.

Who the hell is Jacket you ask?

A dude with a serious bone to pick, like sheesh. On the song's Soundcloud page, he spells out his beef: ""this is for not puttin the kid on BEST OF ATL or giving props to SHITMONGER, come at me!!!!!" Apparently, his last release, titled SHITMONGER, didn't warrant a review in the pages of this here pub.

Which means it couldn't have been as lit as this diss track, cause dude is dropping serious heat rocks here.

"I been on the fuckin scene since a pre teen/but youngn keeps gettin snubbed by a free zine," he raps over the instrumental to Young Thug's "Check." And then: "I know your magazine is free but bitch you owe me some payment/the only reason you exist is givin the homeless some blankets."

HAAHHAAAA!! Snappin, right?

Like any good battle rapper, the kid did his homework. He even calls out CL's recent "Doughnut Smackdown" special issue: "You used to have some fuckin clout but now you suck/doin 12 page spreads about powdered donuts." After throwing darts at our food editor, he takes shots at the whole dang staff: "I see you gettin paid under the table, doin many favors/slaves to the paper, just fakin like you some tastemakers." That line in particular really stings (mainly because that under-the-table money he alleges HAS NOT been trickling down to me). Anyway, here's my personal favorite line: "I oughta vandalize your office just to get in the Blotter." Sick, right? This kid's got wit.

Jacket, né Jake Cook, was better known a few years ago as Trench Party, a "talented songwriter in the process of discovering his voice," as music editor Chad Radford wrote in a four-star review of his 2011 album Terminal Detour. Guess his joke-rap persona hasn't been received to his liking: "No offense to Chad Rad but homie where’s your head at/you sleepin on Jacket like a pillow and that’s wack."

He caps it off with another shot to our bottom line. "You ignorin' the kid/no wonder you went bankrupt." But here's the best part: HE RHYMES "BANKRUPT" WITH "SPANKED BUTTS"!!! HAAAA. Who does that??? 

Not to forget the whole point of this diss, he implores CL to "do the right thing" on the outro. "Put Jacket on the cover, give Jacket a feature, give Jacket a review," he says. "Give the people what they want. Give ’em what they demand. Corny ass bitchessssss."

Classic.
