“Kiss of Death” by Jadakiss could have been a classic if he sequenced it differently.

Even with different sequencing that shyt is not a classic. Only half that album is actually good

Why
Real hip hop
Shootouts
By your side
Still feel me
Air it out
Kiss of death

The only keepers on that shyt
A lot of rappers could've made classics if they just made their albums shorter

yeah i said that shyt here



this should have been track 1, ffs -- start rapping from the jump....i edited this jadakiss album even back then when it just came out and added in some of his mixtape tracks to compensate

also, has anyone questioned WTF is up with this intro skit? :why:



the kiss of death album started with some a forced club single (track 2) and throwaway west coast track 3 that didn't vibe and then the actual album starts on track 4. 'hot sauce to go' and the skit was also some forced pharrell BS that probably blew the album budget over some album-cut mid. mixtape jada started on track 10 to 17, with that cringe eminem chorus song on track 16 and then a soft r&b landing

if jada cut out all the bogus forced singles and bad skits to just 12 songs and add in the why remix as a bonus, shyt would have been more of a classic

Crazy sh*t is, if Kiss did a solo while he was still on Bad boy, it probably would've been a classic.

Sequencing doesn't change an album from being classic. It's either classic, or it's not. If you don’t have the songs, you're done out the gate.

Every solo he dropped lacked direction, and proper A&R work. For an MC as goated as he is, he's never had the right people around him to really guide his projects in a way that makes them memorable. Always the wrong kinds of features on them, trash production and songs that don’t match his level of talent. His solo catalogue might be one of the most disappointing ever in Hip Hop, for someone who came from a legendary group.

Maybe re-sequence it and then cut out some tracks 😅
