Jada is better punch lines and clever word play.

Styles is better with emotional, real life thought provoking content.

As I get older, I prefer Styles more. In high school, it was Jada.

Jadas a better technical rapper but Styles is a better artist overall.

Jada is a casualty of the post-Life After Death era

Styles and Jada is one of the best examples of how finding a niche can play to your advantage artistically. Styles never cared much about crossing over he just did his thing. Good Times was a smash without really stepping out his lane, that song was everywhere in early 2002. Other than that he never really crossed over, never really tried. And it helped the quality of his albums.

Jada had that mixtape style approach to his early albums that was so prevalent in the late 90s and early 00s. Some street tracks interspersed with Bad Boy style pop numbers, remaking Regulate with Nate Dogg, the songs catering to the south. Way too many tracks. Too much garbage filler. But same time there was always heat on there too.

Even though Styles albums was usually better, less compromised and easier to listen straight through, Kiss probably got more classic tracks, memorable verses and quotables.

Always thought it was funny though, Kiss forced his way off Bad Boy because he didn't want to do the jiggy shyt, just to turn around and make super commercial Bad Boy style albums after We Are The Streets underperformed.

I value consistency over having one or 2 great projects then fizzling. Basically, give me a host of 8-8.5s over a one 10 and a host of 5s and 6s, and that’s why I’ve rolled with Styles more than Jadakiss since 2002.

Mixtape S.P. is like a top 5 artist lol. On some Jay / Nas shyt to me .. Ghost in the shell is 7 mics
“Kill that f@g!t” is a f’n horror movie in audio form, that shhit is a great record lol, the energy and the tone of it is crazy…and of course the hook is nuts, pause. I do remember that project having madd joints I really loved…but yeah, that’s a mixtape. Mixtape wise ain’t many seeing D-Block/The Lox. Album wise tho? 🤦🏽‍♂️, all them nigs light in the cakes, pause.
