Review - :
A {\pop-rap} sensation weeks before his debut album was even released, {$Chingy} didn't really need a solid effort to move platinum-level units, as his massive breakthrough debut single, {&"Right Thurr,"} was certainly enough in itself. The track borrows everything wonderful about {$Nelly}'s {&"Hot in Herre"} smash hit from the summer before. From the bouncy, bassy beats to the Southerrn dialect, and from the sexual overtones to the {\teen pop} accessibility of the hook, {&"Right Thurr"} is an instant {\party rap} classic. The remainder of {^Jackpot} -- especially {&"Holidae In,"} featuring both {$Ludacris} and {$Snoop Dogg} -- is nearly as tailor-made for {\pop-rap} appeal. Credit largely goes to {$the Trak Starz}, whose {$Neptunesque} productions fill the album (they produce all but one song). On the downside, the quality of the hooks sometimes doesn't match up to that of the beats, and {$Chingy} himself lacks the substance to match his style. Still, there are enough well-crafted songs on {^Jackpot} to make it an entertaining listen from beginning to end, provided you skip past a few songs here and there. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
