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

Kiss Of Death was still a decent album...

Kiss The Game Goodbye is the album that needed better sequencing...

A lot of those songs in the second half should have been scrapped. Cruisin, fukkin or What, I'm A gangsta, and On My Way should have been left in the Lox Vault somewhere.

Jadakiss makes terrible albums.Nothing "cool" this corny nikka.

Fixed for accuracy...

Jada can spit a fire 16 with some memorable lines.

"Had to stop eatin red meat because I ate too many Beanie Macs"

"It's a Man's world, I'ma see to it you visit your man's girl"

Ngl but Jada kinda sent Aaliyah a ghostly stray which was kinda funny.

Album is a personal classic for me. Don’t care for the radio songs but some songs on here are some of his best like Still Feel Me & By Your Side. This and Hunger For More were on heavy rotation when they dropped.

Hunger For More was dope but I feel like Banks never went introspective and told us about his life. I feel the same way about Fabolous.

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.
I said classic to get the puters puting but I think the album would have been received much better if sequence’s 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
I agree on those Keepers but I add Times up With Nate Dogg on the hook, always liked that and you can't miss with Nate on the hooks.
This is probably Kiss's best album IMO, enough songs on there to actually listen through as opposed to most of his projects.

Kiss Tha Game Goodbye also has bad sequencing, but song for song is fire. KOD just didn't have that many great songs, no matter how you sequence it.
