Internet, you asked for it and we have delivered: Behold, the absolute best, most definitive guide to str8 jackin’ tracks for the year of our Lord, Two Thousand Ought Nine. Will you find other year-ending lists of great music on the web? Sure. Will they be as completely comprehensive, amazing, and indisputable as this one? We certainly don’t think so. Also, will they be called “Jackin’ 2K9”? Doubt it. So save the “we give this disc a 9.439859” drama for yo nerdy brother and get on the bumpin’ techno, house, and disco releases that made us jack all night in ’09.
