Lyrically Kiss can go head up with most of them but as a complete artist he can't. Kiss can spit a hot verse and make a hot song but he's proven he can't really put together a hot album. He's like Cassidy.
Kiss may not have a classic album but comparing him to Cassidy is a step too far:whoa:

KTGG and KOD were both letdowns from how good they could've been, but they were both decent 4 mic albums when they dropped. And there are solo songs in Jada's solo catalogue that people remember way way better than anything Cassidy's ever had on any of his solo albums.

Nah, are people forgetting Ghostface, DMX, Nas, Hov, Rakim, and others? :mjtf:

Jada did a stellar performance last night and lead The LOX to victory, but seriously...!

This is actually a great point. A lot a lot of people put Andre in their top 5 and he doesn't have a solo album at all.
:ohhh:

Jadakiss and Andre 3000 are in the same boat: neither have a classic solo album. It doesn't matter that Kiss has multiple solo albums. If none of those albums can be discussed in the same regard as the best albums of the artists that people are arguing he's in the same class as, his multiple albums are null. It's the same as not having a solo catalog because people are solely looking at his skillset and where he dropped his best verses which more than likely are features, LOX albums and mixtapes. Not saying his solo albums are wack, but we all know they don't make his case for GOAT status. Same goes for Prodigy. When people make the case for Prodigy, they look at his prime which was before he even dropped a solo. When people talk about him being equal to or better than Nas, they aren't using H.N.I.C. or his other solos to make that case. No, they are going to point to his work on The Infamous and Hell On Earth.

Kiss is not Top 10 in my book. Probably in the top 15 though. I like Jada and always trust him never to drop a wack deserve. He's also one of the greatest of all time on features.
