Sticky Fingaz, otherwise known as Kirk Jones, presents an ambitious hip-hop outing that draws on a wide variety of influences in service of a theatrical vision of rap as multi-media experience. BLACK TRASH is packaged as the soundtrack to a nonexistent film. While this is an idea that's been pursued before, Jones so thoroughly transforms the gangsta aesthetic through his cinematic conceptualism that it seems like a completely fresh notion. The use of film soundtrack-style backing tracks and melodic structures that could have come straight from a Broadway musical, as well as the theatrical context, make the violent elements of the lyrics much more palatable. And the spoken interludes have a much more substantial reason for being than on most rap albums. The gem here is undoubtedly "What If I Was White," which features Eminem, and finds Jones tackling the racial turnabout in a novel, winningly humorous way. And the misogynist's apology "Sister I'm Sorry" is as welcome as it is overdue.
