Is Jadakiss Actually In Anybody's Top 5?

[nineteeneightysix]

If an alien had a lazer gun to my face and asked me to pick a rapper to spit a fresh sixteen or it kills me, I am going with Jada Kiss

Top 5 16 spitters

1) Jada Kiss 2) Inspectah Deck 3) Sticky Fingers 4) Method Man 5) Killah Sin

Styles P > Kiss

Jadakiss ever had a song better than Good times and A Gangster and a Gentleman that didn't feature Styles P?

 

[sayyestothis]

His verse in this ^^^^^^^easy...

 

[SirBiatch]

Kiss is good.. But he's a one trick pony that has gotten away with using the same flow for the past 15 years...

something Kiss dikkriders wont admit.

 

[Shadow King]

I'm an East coast nikka and Jada is not in my top 5 and probably not in the top 10. No wack verses but he's rarely left me

 

[ALLiKNOWizPAIN]

You must not be from the hood, most nikkas I know grew up with Kiss is in their top 5. Most nikkas I know fukk with Kiss more than any other rapper.

Where I'm from most nikkas top 5 is Jay, Kiss, Nas, Big, and the 5th changes depending on who it is.

Only in new York would this shyt be true

 

[big_controversy]

Nvccas in philly LOVE Jada...ESP the 28-33 age range

Jada was top 5 from 99-05

 

[Zach Lowe]

Yep. Kiss is nasty, but he never had that inimitable flair on the mic that Biggie had. Matter of fact, Big was the one in that studio that told Kiss to trash the verse he was about to use and come up with something better. Biggie was couching the Lox on what to spit in there. This is Jada's account:

UNBELIEVABLE: Jadakiss Remembers Recording “Last Day” With The Notorious B.I.G. | Vibe

"I tried to get over on BIG. I had some bars already written before I got into the booth and came up with the verse that you hear today. But BIG was like, ‘Nah…I like it, but I need something else.’ Now this is BIG telling me that I have to come with something better. I used to second-guess sometimes when Puff would tell me to switch up my verse, but when BIG told me, I didn’t even think about it. I just did it. "

And he's told that story several times, always the same way, throughout the years. Lol at Kiss writing Biggie verses.

Ur daddy took lines for one mic from nature or jungle or whatever the fukk his flunkie ass brother is (guess that make him ur uncle)

Sometimes mufukkas have a hot verse and u spit it ain't about nah I rank higher in billy ocean of the coli top mcs list I can't take ur lines

fukking dumbass

That ps 42255333 education was some trash I swear

What he means is he's top 5 in the category of rappers of who you don't even know whether they are dead or alive because you never check for them and never hear anything new related to them.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Lol you know what I mean when I say that man. Not specifically to you, I always say "you must not be from the Hood if you think XYZ". Curtis Snow could've made this thread and I would've said that. You know most nikkas in the hood have Kiss in their top 5. Some even have him 1.

He's not in mine personally, but he's pretty much in everyone I grew up withs though.

Hood tri state nikkas from a certain generation/Jail nikkas have kiss top 5.
You ask a DC dude or somebody from Philly the answers are gonna be totally different...unless they're in that "mixtape era" age group.

 

[MrWestGrand]

He's in my top 10. Never seriously sat down and rated my top 5 lyricist because I would have to spend at least a weekend going back through the vaults and listening to a few cats to really give a good assessment. Kiss always been nice though, especially the 50 cent diss. Im a fan of Fifs, but Kiss did get him though.

 

[The Fire]

He def helped BIG write classics.

 

[H. Selassie]

Love Jada's rapping especially guest verses and freestyles but I can easily name over 10 from New York alone better than him...
Nas, Jay, Pun, AZ, G Rap, Kane, Rakim, Big L, Ghostface, Raekwon, 90s Prodigy, Biggie, DMX, Redman (not technically NY but whatever)

You could make a case for Jada over some of those guys but seriously...nah.

 

[Black Cac]

Top 5 overrated yeah

 

[R.O. Double]

Kiss was supposed to be the one tho. That's the reason why when The Lox left BadBoy, Puff made sure he got paid of Jada's shyt. Puff ain't get paid for a Sheek album, Puff ain't get paid for a Styles Album. He wanted Kiss, becuz that nikka was supposed to be That nikka.

It's crazy, becuz Kiss never made a song as good as Holiday and never will. Styles jumped over that nikka and never looked back.

It's fukked up, becuz like I said earlier in the thread. That We Are The Streets album had me thinking that Kiss was a beast and he was gonna blow. That nikka did all the heavy lifting on that album.

"Everybody's a snake,
that's why I try to keep the grass cut,
so I see em when they coming
And I heat they ass up
Cuz them nikkas that you went to school with
Will catch you while you in your new whip
And turn your brains into cool whip"

nikkas couldn't tell me Kiss wasn't bout to be a problem back then!!
