Jadakiss Names Top 5 Best Rappers + Why He Didn't like Ghostwriting for Diddy | Sway's Universe

Is Jadakiss in your top 5? According to Sway, HB and Rich Nice, Kiss' name should at least be in this conversation.
Today, we welcome this sick lyricist to our studio and talked about rap. Plus, how the convo with old Hip Hop heads and new hip hop heads has changed -- and what each side needs to understand.
From style, to lyrical content, we talked about what qualifies a rapper to be "Top 5." And Jada wasn't shy to talk about his list. In fact, he's rolling out his fourth solo album, Top 5 Dead Or Alive, on November 20th.
Press play above to watch SITM with Jada + why he doesn't like ghostwriting for Diddy anymore... And you know we couldn't let him leave without kicking a freestyle!! Catch that below.

Yeah but us born a little later who have a deep love for hip hop will do our research. Youngins aint just listenin to whats popular

[@alikorestate]

lol but even if you were born in the 90's you were still too young to appreciate that music back then. So if you were born in 1991, you're already late to the wave of NWA, public enemy, KRS 1, Kool G Rap, Too short, Slick Rick, Big daddy Kane, etc. By the time you turned six, we was already missing Tupac. His music lived on though..

[@OGPeanutbutter]

@@alikorestate tf?? So younger generation’s cant appreciate it now??? That doesnt make any sense

[@alikorestate]

@@OGPeanutbutter I think you misread or misunderstood what I was saying. I was implying if you were born in the 90's, you were too young to appreciate the music at that given time. 1990 to 2000 is 10yrs. What's the oldest anyone born between that time could be? You gain a better understanding of things in general, as you get older. I was not saying you cannot appreciate it now (2020). Hope that still doesn't go over your head.

EVERYTHING CONSIDERED, Tupac, Eminem, Jay, Nas, and BIG have the best argument currently.

+The Greatest that's right I never been a biggie fan god bless the dead but I always thought he was overrated in my opinion

[@jaidajones8788]

***** it's true though... Plus the love people had for Big that came from everything that was going on at that time, people never looked at the fact that he died early before he child complete top 5 or goat status.... But we gave it to him just because....

[@jaidajones8788]

***** your right but the difference in the two are the time and the dues, Big had a marketing genius on his side that circled the drama at that time around all those albums and also the right producers at hand... We give it to Nas cuz through his journey of different eras of Hip Hop he fought to maintain his status... We would want to believe Big would have taken the game to new heights but we will never know.. Same with big L, brother was nice but career was ended right as he was taking off.. I give it to Big he had major skills but it's just in that one time frame... In Hip Hop is about longevity that keeps you at the top and your skills help get you there.... Perfect example is LL

[@jaidajones8788]

***** your right LL isn't in today's top 5 but like kiss said it tends to change as time goes on... Pac to me personally was never in my top anything but I do give him respect for trying to add culture back to the game and black people... Never really liked him since digital underground but that's just me, I also feel the drama was created to help his career which worked, just that the drama went too far... Nas was crowned that title at illmatic because most don't know he had been crushing the streets and radio long before that as a youngster, why do you think the idea for an all star producer line up was given to him... But different times calls for different top 5,goat, what ever... But honestly, there should be a tighter judgement on who gets crowned what... Like Jada said "the crown has to be passed down, you can't earn it "

This interview is beautiful , cause I always loved Kiss , old Clue tapes. Big with the cream beat

[@realeyesrealisereallies8607]

IMO its absolutely unacceptable to be a rapper, and not write your own lyrics. When you consider the fact other genres of music like rock, jazz, Piano, singers with back round bands, all involves that artist playing an instrument, and the incredible talent and time it takes to learn the craft of playing guitar, drums, saxophone, all these other genres of music involve the artist actually playing an instrument. In hip hop its all about lyrical ability, style, cadence , flow, so to give somebody like a Drake a pass, is absolutely unacceptable. If your gonna proclaim yourself the top dude, you gotta be an MC, Master of Ceremonies. and btw big fucking shouts to Kool G Rap, because G Rap is most likely your favorite rappers, favorite rapper. Hes the first MC in hip hop who introduced that Mob mafia influence in hip hop. IMO every NYC rapper has copied kool G raps content in some way, shape, or form. Hip Hop is probably also the only genre of music where the younger fans dont acknowledge and pay homage to those who paved the way for them, and gave them a platform to do their thing. BTW i think drake is an actor playing a rapper, real talk.

Preach. It may be that most people are casual listeners so they don’t take the art form as seriously as a true head such as yourself. Not too different from sports where 4-5 superstars get the majority of fan attention meanwhile the underrated role players are only appreciated by true students of the game.

As an avid hip hop head I don't get how you don't like the 90's or think that era "wasn't all that great". What drew me in and submerged me into hip hop was looking back at all the content I missed out on. While also recognizing and praising my favorite current artists. I'm 20. I missed damn near everything. But hearing the 90's era now makes me appreciate an art and culture I might otherwise think was devoid of talent/content because of what I was subjected to hearing on the radio in my era.

[@jamalkarim5356]

Smoking Gun / What if / Why = Best jadakiss tracks

[@mrspeaker89]

[@GVMBITxxx]

+Mr. Speaker Can't forget about Death Wish

[@lorenzofranco8406]

'The Last Kiss' was a hot album. That jawn with Mary J. Blige 'Grind Hard' was nice, yo.

[@mrspeaker89]

I have all of Jadakiss albums I'll definitely be copping this one.

[@nowavestv333]

That Whole Cd was 🔥But I used 2 Listen 2 💨🔫Everyday When it Dropped...

[@arusha6]

12:00 I was like TUPAC??!!

[@laquintagooden7587]

Tupac is my all time favorite Artist, but not quite a top MC because he touched your soul

[@chisamartins3691]

Pac is the goat...is voice and message was far above all this bulshit commercial rappers..east coast rappers don't like Pac because he diss them so they will always be against Pac..

[@bigbucks850]

Sad but true

[@deadpoollover3464]

Capital Steez(everything he ever put out) Joey Bada$$(1999 and B4da$$) J. Cole(born sinner, and forest hills) Kendrick Lamar(Good kind mad city, Tpab) Mick Jenkins(waters, waves) puttin on for the 2010s fam

[@JDillaRobot]

+sahib singh I don't know of course it's your opinion but not only do I see this list everywhere to me it's overrated. Capital steez was pretty good but I never got into Joey expect for like 4 songs. Same with cole. I only like kedrick from section 80 and only like maytrs from mick jenkings. For me the new rappers to check out are ninoman, oddisee, and dillon cooper are the ones I think of right now

[@deadpoollover3464]

+Jordan Pighin we all entitled to our own opinion, but you should check out nipsey hussle if you want, he holding shit down out west

[@JDillaRobot]

sahib singh I love nipsey he just made a song with jadakiss he's dope

[@nellyluscious]

Jay to the Muahsss!! Man Jada!! He is definitely in my top 5 and I say that because I grew up on The lox, the whole 90's era! I love the respect Jada has for this new generation too because though some of this new stuff I don't understand but I respect to a certain extent in artistry. Artists like Kendrick, Jay Cole, A$ap, just to name a few. I like to see that connection with the Old Heads and new heads but for me I will always pick old school. Its just more authentic.

[@MalloryVirginiaXO]

jadakiss my number #1 of all time period!! he definitely needs to be taloed about and heard moree

[@damoncarter4612]

JadaKiss comes with the fire. This dude has always brought the flamethrower to his bars. I compliment every MC that has every had Jada spit bars on their song. Always a risk that he will steal the song.

[@carfreak520]
