I like jada but i dont know if he has can make a classic album, simular to fab, banks. Killer punch lines but never a 5/5 album.
hunger for more is a classic wihtout doubt
Yo go back and listen to Hunger For More that album aged Quite well. Lloyd Banks first LP is definitely a Classic, so he delivered Fab as good as he is likes to go with the times placing a hindrance on his ability to make a Classic…..
Banks was solid on Halloween Havoc II
The Hunger For More is classic.
Can’t wait for Album CLASSIC already
All these years later*now only if jay elec’s punk ass drop his*long live the 80s & 90*
Too many features for me, love Jada though
looks fresh. i’ll steal it
It’s gonna be a great album, Jada never disappoint..why ft lil gayne, pusskhalifa? Why not Black Thought, Mis Def, Common?
I think this is really not gonna get pushed out, love kiss one of the major New York artists to reach out to the south, he is top5doa
This track list looks better than the one for “The Last Kiss”. Hopefully, it’s on “Kiss of Death” level.
Hope he chose the right beats for this…..and not that trap shit
Track 13 and 14………….Damn!!!!
First off I I luv Jada…he spit potent bars since the Biggie Era….But dude is not top five dead or alive…He has two artist on his album that are better than him….I honestly feel like he has too many guest features, (even tho by good artist)…but you can’t be claiming top five but have to go and get all the hot artist in the game to be on your album…I think the album will be good.(how can you have Jeezy nipsey wayne future on the same album and it not be hot ) but I don’t think it does anything to prove his top five claim…And his cover is trash…looks weird to me
oh….I just noticed the Nas feature…How you gone.claim top five when.you have three artist on your album better than you ?
who are the 3 rappers better than him?
smh..im not trying to hear wack ass jeezy, wiz, puffy and wayne on this abum, that 4 tracks that will suck already..too many features..
Dope cover and album title, but the collobarations will prevent me from supporting this project
Jada always drops the ball when it comes to his albums. At this point in his careeer you would think he would know what his fanbase wants and doesnt want to hear. SMH
FYI the only one better than Jada is nas. And no lil Wayne is def not better than Jada
If you only got two songs on your album that you did on your own, you can’t call yourself top five dead or alive. Jada is and always was a dope MC, but top 25 is more like it.
@Upstate……FYI.Wayne may not punch harder that Jada but he is most definitely better than Jada, he’s all around better artist who has contributed more to the game and consistently outworks Jada and is on a higher level.He has put out more music even tho Jada has been in the game longer than him…And is just hands down without a doubt better than Jada.I don’t think I need to go into those details…Nipsey sold out his album for 100$ each and turned around and sold his next album for.1000$ a piece…need I say more?
And Nas is handsdown without a doubt murkin Jada….Jada is more a second tier or third tier rapper…More like a Fabolous on steroids or Casssidy or somebody like that.,.Jada ain’t even better than Beans if you ask.me
Nas is undoubtedly better than Jada in every aspect…Jada is a 2nd or 3rd tier rapper More like a Fabulous on steroids or a Cassidy…I personally think Beans is better than Jada
Nas is undoubtedly better than Jada in every aspect….Jada is more like a 2nd 3rd tier rapper…More like a Fabulous on steroids or a Cassidy….I personally think Beans is better than Jada
TOP 5 FOH JADA . ANOTHER BROKE NY RAPPER FRONTIN . NY STAY DREAMING .
Talk about a lot of features. You would think a Top Five wouldn’t need to lean so hard on others to push sales.
Top 5 my ass this dude is not even top 125 S M H
Top 5 no order
2pac
Nas
Scarface
Ice Cube
Dre
Lol read the comments and everyone feels the same , wtf every single song got a feature on it . Album should have 5 features Max. Especially when he hasn’t dropped nothing new in years . Still tho nov 20 is dope. Krayzie bone and jada droppin new projects on the same day, it’s gonna be a good day for my ears .
Hopefully this album is dope.
Jadakiss created the phrase top 5 dead or alive. The conversation of who is the best should be based around eras not who is the best of all time. People who have ghost writers should not be mentioned # little Wayne. I have never heard of wayne ghost writing for anyone, not even bird boy. Most rappers have heavy features on their albums trying to reach different fan bases. I don’t see any other reason to have Future on your project.
Kiss is killing me with this album title. He has some classic mixtapes, but dude has never made a great album from top to bottom. All of his albums have so much unnecessary filler and I see this album being no different. Top 5 DOA but you have like one solo track on an 18 track album….SMH. A true top 5’er can carry an album on their own. Good luck with this one Kiss.
Nobody is interested in eascoast hiphop its all about the westcoast and the south.
in New York they still making boombap hiphop or they trying to be dirty south. Face it: new york is dead.
Jadakiss only follows trends. Leaders create trends. Listen to the trapbeats on this album. Horrible! Why do so many new york rappers suck dirty south dick? He is definitely not top 5.
shit looks like the Documentary .Disc 2
Classic albums have graced us few times this yr. Kiss did it.
lol. Album just started streaming today. Stop trolling.
Finally herd some of this album,,gangster shit for ya ears,,fire bars,,him and puff was powerful,had to rewind over and over…
It is a solid album just remove Future, Akon and wiz. Jada is a skilled MC, but the features are to numerous for an MC with his skill set.
