Jadakiss: Rapper Jadakiss
built 188 days ago
Before the release of Kiss the Game Goodbye, Jadakiss had been, as is the popular saying, "spitting straight fire" on records for a while. His verses on the songs "Ryde or Die", "Got it All", and "WWIII" showed the Kiss may well be ready for a solo album. Unfortunately, this CD proves that he, in fact, isn't even close. Jadakiss is the type of rapper that belongs on guest appearances and in group stuff. He's witty, but often too monotonous and mechanical. If Jadakiss isn't talking about the "mamis", or his cocaine dealings, he's talking about busting a gat at other rappers.
