Jack The Rapper Honored By Atlanta Hip Hop Film Festival
The Atlanta Hip Hop Film Festival will be honoring Jack"THE RAPPER"Gibson, former Atlanta radio legend by renaming its Hip Hop Pioneer Award to "The Jack The Rapper" Award.
Gibson was instrumental in the careers of several musical icons by allowing unsigned talent a voice to be heard with his hosting of the historical Jack the Rapper Conventions in Atlanta.

The first recipient of the "Jack The Rapper" award will be hip hop icon and actor Ice. T.
"My father would be proud to see Ice T honored as the first Jack "The Rapper" Gibson Hip Hop Pioneer Award recipient. Jack was friends with Ice. T and knows he is more than deserving of this award." said Jack the Rapper's daughter, Jill Bell.
Many can remember that Jack The Rapper was all you had as an aspiring artist or producer in the 90's. It was a networking tool that has yet to be rivaled in southern hip hop. Atlantans, especially know how deserving Mr. Gibson is of this award.
The 2nd Annual Atlanta HipHop Film Festival takes place April 28-30, 2006. This year honorees are: Lauryn Hill, LL Cool J, Ice.T, and F. Gary Gray.

Ice T is cool and everything but I was never really a fan. Colors was hard as fuck and still is imo but come on. Does being a pinoeer really make you good? I admit he was real with his shit but hey, just because you real doesn't mean you have music that's more deserving then the next rapper. I'm out

I remember Jack the Rapper being big back in the day when i was younger. I never went, but everybody used to saythat was the place to get your shit out there.
Ice-T? I guess he was a pioneer, but you best believe there are others more deserving. But it sounds liek he was Jacks homeboy so there you go.

Come on you bitches, don't make me laugh / You couldn't deep-throat G Rap if you was a motherfuckin' giraffe.”

LOL . . you kids are KILLING ME !!
You question Ice-T as a pioneer?
Here's a note to some of you. Everything that cats like Jeezy and the rest of the street hustlas/gangsta/studio gangsta rappers are doing for the streets, Ice-T did that back in 1985.
Ice-T was one of the first rappers to extensively talk about the street game, the dope game, hustlin' and pimpin. That ish that you young kneegas glorify and love.
Ice-T is deserving of any honor that people want to give him.
Some of these DJs need to make a mixtape of Ice-T's old stuff, put it behind some of those DJ Drama beats, and see if you can't relate to what he's saying.

errytime i listened to or read Ice-T's interview he spat som real street knowlege, i mean it was obvious he picked up on it in the streets, but the lessons be universal, jes straight life wisdom and common sense, so i see him as a true hip hop icon like the article says

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JumpBoxTV Signs Robert Evans, Ice-T and Mike Richards to Star in New Original Web Series
Jumpboxtv.com Debuts with Promos of Original Programming
(Los Angeles, CA) - February 17, 2006 – JumpBoxTV Networks, the newest content provider on the Web, today announced it has signed Robert Evans, Ice-T, and Mike Richards to star in three original Web series created and produced by the company. Jumpboxtv.com, which also launches its “Line-Up” site today, will debut with promos of these programs, another original content show, and an exclusive unseen interview with the stars and director of Will & Grace as a salute to the show’s final season before fully launching later this month.
Unlike most on-line programming, JumpBoxTV's shows are created and produced by professional producers and production companies with hundreds of millions of dollars in box-office, network, cable and home rental revenue behind them. The programs have been created to vigorously compete for eyeballs seeking digital online and wireless content and are currently exclusive to jumpboxtv.com, which is advertising driven and free to view.
The new shows include:
1. Ask Bob: The Book of Evanisms: Hollywood bad boy Producer Robert Evans gives on camera life advice to specific questions posed from passersby on the street.
2. The Cyber Judge: Ice-T takes the bench as the world’s first Cyber Judge mediating disputes sent to him via web-cam.
3. Collision: More in the line of a traditional Hollywood affairs show, Collision is a celebrity interview show hosted by Mike Richards (Beauty and the Geek 2 - WB) and Daya Vaidya.
4. 5th Element: Not to be outdone by online giants MTV and Yahoo Music, JumpBoxTV’s original video music series, 5th Element, is hosted by west coast mix-tape guru DJ Warrior and former Universal recording artist Tiffany Villarreal. The series covers new music videos and live interviews at the show’s studio - the hip-hop clothing store, 5Th Element, in Studio City, California.
With the competition heating up in the digital content world, former CEO J. Walter Thompson West and JumpBoxTV interim Chairman Peter Stranger exclaims, “We’re lucky to have Bob Evans, not only because he’s iconic and compelling, but because he is always engaging…age has not slowed him down. If anything, it’s made him more intriguing!”
TV director and JumpBoxtTV COO, Oz Scott believes television will continually involve the Web and other wireless platforms. “I see it as Tech companies having put the cart before the horse. Now, the viewers are here and technology makes it feasible.

It is time for all professional content producers and talent to focus on the inevitable. Ice-T pulls it off every week (now every day) for Dick Wolf and NBC, so he’s sure to pull it off for us in this space, too.”
Founder and CEO Andre Jetmir puts a practical spin on digital television. “Convenience is key but it’s not king. Content is king and great content rules. The very concept behind TiVo is convenience but it wouldn’t work unless there were shows the audience wanted to record. On the content side, the difference between HBO and other cable networks is not that HBO has a bigger satellite or a fancier logo. It is that HBO has the Sopranos and Deadwood. We’re a content company heavily supported by technology, not the other way around. It is crucial our programming be competitive and that’s what we have with this lineup.”
When asked to compare digital Web viewers to those glued to the TV, former Jennifer Lopez film partner and independent producer Julio Caro says the difference is very little. He explains, “There are two primary forms of content - information and entertainment. Those rules still apply in the digital world or in any content platform. It must be either informative or entertaining, but both must be good.” Julio Caro entered into a two-year development deal with JumpBoxTV.
