Jadakiss is no stranger to Top 40 mainstream success but he’s truly at his best when delivering endless punchlines over concrete-cracking beats. “Most of them is lovin’ me, some of them hatin’ me/Say he’s underrated, depending on whose rating me,” Kiss quips on the album intro “First 48.” Jada’s an underdog who makes moves like a heavyweight champ, spitting bars as if his life depends on it but with the confidence of seasoned pro.Īnd if you’re a fan of unbridled lyricism, this is the album for you. That’s the hunger that drives Top 5 Dead or Alive, an album a half decade in the making. With three solid solo LPs and a handful of successful singles under his belt, Jada’s unquestionably one of the game’s greatest voices.īut he’s not THE greatest voice. But that doesn’t mean Jada isn’t one of the best ever to bless the mike.īack in the mid-90s, when The LOX kicked the doors of hip-hop off its hinges, Jadakiss was always the group’s standout MC - trademark raspy voice, charisma that bled through the speakers and punchlines that could floor Tyson.
#Jadakiss new album review crack#
Not even the mighty Jadakiss can crack that list. Well, since I know it’s gonna come up, let’s go ahead and get this out of the way: 10/10 status.ĭeff go out and cop if you haven’t already.Top 5 Dead or Alive (released November 20, 2015) Kiss Tha Game Goodbye is a solid classic btw. I’d say they go in chronological order from best to worst. This album is easily the weakest out of his first two solo albums. Sometimes I feel like I can pick the tracks for the artists better than they can The joint with him and Sheek, Come and Get Me is another hard record on there.Ĭons: The production overall could have been WAYY better.
Some other notable joints on there are the Neptune produced records, Stress Ya, and Ya Now Rockin with the best which are both kinda decent.
There collab on Kiss Tha Game Goodbye> than this attempt. Nas was a great concept and both artists brought thought prevoking bars, but the production was so awful its hard for me to sit through the entire track. Those were just the top records from the album. Mary sings her heart out on this one, while Jada lyrically slaughters each and every bar.
by The InkrediblesĬome on, Jada and Mary on a track together? Amazing. And again Jadakiss delivers the rawest of lyrics. Record reminds me of some mid-90’s type stuff but is still a banger non the less. by Neo Da Matrix (beat is fast paced, one of those feel good tracks accompanied by lyrics of fire) See The Purple Tape for further evidence.Ĭant Stop Me Ft. by Swiff D and Eddie F (again one of the few ill beats on the album)Īnytime you get Ghost, Rae, and Nas on the same album you know your dealing with a classic on your hands. It sorta reminds me of “We Gon Make It” from Kiss the Game Goodbye.Ĭartel Gathering Ft. by Sean C & LV (one of the better beats on the album, extra smooth)Īnytime you get these two going back and forth on a record, you know its gonna be crazy. “It hurts cuz they know that I’m better and they hate it, came into the game with my style and they made it, the dope boys love me in the hood I’m they favorite…im beyond these feagle mind rappers that half step, I done carved the way for these niggas like aztecs…” Jada’s last verse on this is again top notch. byFiend (Again beat knocks extremely hard, must play at loud volumes) “Im knockin niggas down this year, I’m on my timber shit.” One of his better verses since Dedication 2 and Drought 3 days. “They was on the road to the riches, but got off on the exit, real disrespect shit, its hard to digest it, when a nigga try and fuck up your an investment…” Jada’s first verse is completely out of this world specifically the first few bars: by Alchemist (beat knocks extremely hard, must play at loud volumes) Fav tracks in order are:ĭeath Wish Ft.Lil Wayne Prod. Below is a little write up covering a few of the highs and lows of the album. Wasn’t able to get it until the 8th being that it sold out all over NW DC on the day it debuted. With all the delays and push backs its finally released on the 7th. We’ve been highly anticipating this album here over some time, as Jadakiss is one of our favorite mc’s.
