Both legends.

And Kiss is my guy, but Common has the catalogue and skill to be Top 10.

Kiss can't drop a classic to save his life. And I think that's what held him back from being one of the actual greats. I still don’t get what the deal is with that.
Ass production and no overall direction with his albums

It's true.

Kiss has all the talent in the world, but no direction.

Westside Gunn said he told Jada to lock in with him for a month and he would "curate" a classic album for him. But he said Kiss never calls him back about it, lol. There's other artists who really want him to make this classic project we all know he can make. We just ain't get it yet.
No disrespect to westside gun but if puff couldn't do it in his prime none of this nikkas can do it now.

I'm sure Jadakiss knows is days are over, that's why he's a podder

Kiss was never signed to Puff solo though. So he didn't have a chance to do anything with Jada, back then. He was off Bad Boy before that could even happen.

WSG is his best bet. He can get dope production, a damn vision and some direction. But like you said, I kinda feel like it's too late. I would love to see it, but I gave up on waiting.

You really can't compare common's completely cultural submission body of work.
as a three verse 16 plus bar solo artist. in timeline, as early as both.
being honored as a soloist and group artist.
Versus kiss who was only responsible

for a Third of the verse output in a general commitee. As the warlocks. to warlox to lox era.
Where in timeline common sense. Now enduring admin hiccups.
to now being named common.
has been honored as a styles war era best in quality and output solo artist. Shich inckides mastering that era's sryke if remix stsrting eith breaker 1/9. To soul by the pound. After a stellar jazz horn duet on take it easy.
Plus transistioning to the technical renaissance ushered in by nas..
Dropping story book epic perfect classics titlef ressurrection. While in similar timeline. The warlox were strugglin with jiggy administrative artist development. To only be re-leased as group closs to five years later.
To be renamed
as the LOX.

The only classic Kiss has ever appeared on had Big's picture on the cover. Com treats Kiss like the Lox treated Dip set.

Common got a better catalog but I'd rather listen to Kiss nowadays

Kiss got a better voice

So all jokes aside, as a Chicago elder I come to you hat in hand asking seriously, is the old guard accepting of his self admitted bussy behavior? Of course it don't matter who he sleep with but the principle of spinning the shyt like he was taken advantage of :martin: I understand he was a minor at the time so this can be seen as disgusting victim blaming I'm aware. I also was a teenage boy at one point and know damn well based on the story ain't no fukkin way.


Second, what about the Drake shyt? Does he not lose any valour for getting worked by Degrassi's biggest star? Idk I agree Kiss can't fukk with his catalog but we gotta factor all this shyt into making a decision. Who would win in a battle kiss vs com? Put some respek on my nikka name mane coldest out the lox no question

Common has made better albums & I Used To Love H.E.R. holds more weight than any song Kiss has ever put out

I prefer Kiss however

Your talking about this?


"Common, whose real name is Lonnie Lynn, was starring in the film The Tale, which is about a woman's childhood sexual abuse, when he remembered the experience.

He was working on a scene with actress Laura Dern when the memory resurfaced.

"Old memories surprisingly flashed in my mind," he writes in his new book.

"I caught my breath and just kept looping the memories over and over, like rewinding an old VHS tape… I said 'Laura, I think I was abused'."



He said he was a 10 years old,so your a piece of garbage if its true:gucci:. And im about to be a piece of garbage when I say i dont believe him. This sounds like some Hollywood "let me show my vulnerability" play and that im open to ALL roles:picard:. But i humbly apologize if I am wrong. Im just not trying to hear someone "supressed" memories or "thinks" they were abused.

So im taking that out of the equation,and wouldnt have held being molested against him regardless. In light of these new revelations i wont say Kiss would destroy him. But he would gently sit him down in a Verzuz.


Usually i dont say "classics dont matter". But they dont matter in this scenario because the bar advantage leans so heavily towards Jada imo. Jada has classic battle records as well. Please dont mention "bytch in yoo" as some great diss above what Jada has done. Guys like Cube and Kiss are in a different weight class. Guys like Kiss have to be listened to differently. For mixtape era rappers,it was bigger than albums.

We're talking overall, history of rap, you're talking eras, mixtapes are different etc.

It's cool to say Kiss sounds doper to you, but making it look like some of us aren't judging things properly ain't the move

Jada's raps might be more entertaining but that's about it

To me Com is TOP10 undisputed
