 The whole kitchen sink!!!!!!! December 12, 2008
This album is dope. It has everything i wanted. A lot of my underground favorite emcees DOOM, MOP, LITTLE BROTHER, ROYCE, ELZHI, ETC. The artists are laying dope bars over some really nice tracks. I have never heard of Jake One, but on the production level he did his thing over all the tracks. Each fits each artist and he did a good job of matching beats to so many different artists and styles. There really wasn't a really weak song on here. The stand outs for me are GLOW FT ELZHI AND ROYCE, TRAP DOOR FT MF DOOM AND GET ER DONE FT MF DOOM. If Jake can keep producing good beats like this album and continue to pick the proper artists to work with, he will continue to have success for a long time to come.

I don't know who Jake One is, but from what I hear on this album, he is one hell of a dope producer, who is from the Seattle area. I never heard any music from Sea Town (except for Sir Mix-A-Lot), but that might change after I've heard this album. Anyway, I was recommended this by a friend, because the guest appearances was very diverse, from mainstream to underground. Artists from Busta Rhymes, to Slug, to MF Doom, to Young Buck, so it's a little bit of everything.
The majority of the production here is top notch. Jake One uses a lot of upbeat production throughout here to match the rappers styles, and the majority of them use them successfully. He also is great with finding some great drum breaks to toss into the beats he makes. Vitamin D helps out with some of the scratches that are frequently heard here. Great songs include "God Bless The Child" featuring Little Brother, and "Oh Really" with Pos and Slug. Both songs showcase some great production done by Jake One. As for the guest's lyrics, most of them are on point. Little Brother are great on the aforementioned track "Bless The Child". Blueprint hits a stride on a great storytelling "Scared", which has a sick beat (the ending was kinda sudden though). "Glow" featuring Elzhi and Royce da 5'9" is a lyrical hot track. "Big Home Style" has a nostalgic 1996 beat sound to it, and artists J.Pinder, GMK, and Spaceman are great.
Missteps here are around here as well. Freeway on "How We Ride" is kind of weak, as well as the vibe of Jake One's production. Veteran rapper Casual doesn't sound well on "Feelin' My ****", as he mentions a lot of rappers in his hook who is "feelin' his ****".
Overall, White Van Music is an excellent album. If you're looking for a diverse compilation with hot production, you'll enjoy this album. The production here is grade A, and as for an added bonus, an instrumental album comes along with it. Hopefully Jake One will have the momentum to become a star producer, but here it's an excellent debut. Highly Recommended. Peace.

Everybody already knows that jake is dope. This album just proves it again.With joints like "im coming" with nottz and Black milc, The gritty baseline on "trap doors" and the bangin beat and timeless verse from brother ali on "the Truth". This album is 4.5 some of the best music i've heard in a min.Hip Hop is dead... i guess its time to destroy and rebuild.
Reminds me of "In Control Vol.1 by Marley Marl",CLASSIC! October 8, 2008

I still don't know why people are still asking where to find good hip hop and have access to the internet,that's like asking for light to read when all you have to do is 'hit the switch',duh.
CLASSIC.'08 is the "NEW" 1994.
EVERYONE ON ONE ALBUM October 8, 2008
MF DOOM, BROTHER ALI, and SLUG.......what else could you ask for on one single album. Plus as a bonus you get jake's instrumental album which is good for freestyles and to collaborate other songs together,well if your a masher ;-).
