He’s trying so hard not to throw shade at this era. I genuinely appreciate his effort 🤣🤣🤣
I don't see it.....he's just saying it's easier to put out music and pop as opposed to when he was putting out albums. Rappers back the. Was putting out music every 3-4 yrs rather than 1 yr like now. Plus artist have more control now....better ways to make money, labels have less control blah blah blah.....u slick know the rest. I don't think he hating tho, cuz Jada will rap circles around these new urkles
He miss hearing music that made you wanna go in the studio. What's crazy back then, you had to make certain chit. Now, you pretty much can put out whatever. But if it nothing that inspires you. Why do it. That's where he's at. 💯
@@jasonwilliams7966 nigah he want to throw shade so bad, that's why he got the people like us to do it for him. You can't even answer whos your favor rapper TODAY without thinking about it first. Ask me back in the 90s who my favorite rapper its going to fly off my tongue... pause. Nas Mobb Deep biggie, wu tang, Pac. Now you try it with today's rappers, who's your favorite I'm a lmao at your list except for 1 or 2 maybe
Now cole will drop I let Jada down
@@jasonwilliams7966not necessarily true. In the 80’s and 90’s rappers released albums in a 1 year period. Run DMC,Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy, BDP, LL Cool J in 1989 and 1990, and even the 90’s Mobb Deep, 2Pac, Nas released two albums in 1999 although that was suppose to be a double album. Jay-Z released a new album each year for 7 years straight. Don’t get me wrong there were periods when artist didn’t drop an album for more than 3 years and artist that have done so, but there were actually a good amount of artist putting out albums each year and many that were notable acts.
Air fried albums 😂 nice analogy
Microwaved
Cole got me confused 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣
Him and a lot of other folks
I guess you haven’t heard old diss tracks every rapper apologized get it together brother!
@@monstermix7134 Yeah when the smoke clears...
Yeah...he apologized..yet at the same time dropped arguably the most consistently Top-tier, lyrically proficient project (with Good production) seen in a few years. Kiss is understandably conflicted lol
I'm glad Jada said his favorite is J Cole in spite of public perception 🎉
Lies!!! He never said Cole was his favorite, he said Cole got him confused.
@@imsofocused4678 But he said "I like Cole" right after that. It's obvious he wanted to say Cole is one of his favorites, but given the current circumstances he hesitated.
@DellWard Stop it with the bullshit assumptions. If Jada wanted to say that Cole is his "favorite" rapper, he still could of said it. But he didn't.
@@DellWardno he didn’t bro. You J Cole fans are delusional lol
@@imsofocused4678 Ok you're right about the assumption. But He still named Cole as a rapper he likes. That was clear as day.
The Lox are the greatest Hip Hop Trio of all time, my all time favorite group of all time period
Liar😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Run Dmc

Hands down 80s and 90s rap was the BEST ERA
I’d give you two likes if I could! Facts bro
No doubt
90s, 00’s, and 2010’s were better than the 80s tbh
@@EazyRocko I must admit early 2000s were great
Without question the best era for mainstream hip hop music, especially the late 80s and early 90s. That's the era where all the greatest lyrical emcees came out with the most original styles and the most substance to their rhymes and subject matter. THE GOLDEN ERA.
Dapping him up at the concert in Norfolk VA was crazy. That will always be one of the favorite memories of mines. The Lox as a whole are those dudes that are genuine but they LOVE hip hop and you can hear Kiss trying not to 💩 on this era of rap but it’s hard lmao
Air fried albums is accurate. They got drive through singles to go with it.
We need the album jada please !
No hell we don't.
Speak for yourself Jada never deliver
@@GeorgiazOwnKing😂😂😂😂
Even jadakiss ain’t feeling this era 😂😂 same here
Nas… keep it going
Nobody feeling this new shit fr and I’m the biggest fan of the newer generation, there’s just something missing from the majority of newer artists.
It's called Soul @@nofreehooks
Dat old era garbage We got Playboi Carti now, that’s all you need
@honestman3918 Your comment either makes u a troll or an idiot either way it's a lose lose situation on your part.
Jadakiss you're one of the best rappers of all time. I've been listening to your music since the mid 90s
U not lyin 💪🏾
Protect Jada at all costs
Yoooo, Jadakiss, be dropping knowledge, take notes!!!!✊✊✊✊✊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kiss was being polite, he not a fan of this new era, he listens to his peers from his era and the era before. For me, it's Nas, Jay, Wu-tang, the Lox, Redman, Busta, Royce, Beans, and Banks.
Nothing like that era….. these dudes rapping about killing fools and staying high or some shit! In those days of those above mentioned artists…. They were putting out for us to imagine through music. Stories, scenarios all in the culture of hip hop! These dudes nowadays have their own language that grows every damn day. SMH
Damn, no West Coast artist in that list for you? Ice Cube? Korrupt? You have Royce over Em?
@@raymundoramirezjr.1646 you’re right I expected they were in that same era, Snoop, 2Pac, Dre, Ice-T, it’s automatic. I meant no disrespect. 😆
Bank$ is still an animal🤦🏿♂️🗣️🔥
Thank you for mentioning banks 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great rapper Great real loyalty rap group...💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Jadakiss is a really good rapper no cap. 😅💯
Damn no Millyz!
Lol right!? I definitely expected to hear his name
Perfect analogy
Let's be perfectly clear. Kiss by himself can masterfully, eat, annihlate, and exile any and every rapper that is popular today.
Nah Kendrick would be tough and I’m from NY. Joey Bada$$ would be tough too and he never got the push he should have.
@@jamesonedwardsii4943 they not no real gangsta rappers
@@SoSikWitIt 90% of rappers aren’t real I mean look at who kiss said he enjoys…. J Cole the fakest top rapper in the game. Idk why people put this weird emphasis on being a “gangster” anyway. The real “gangsters” are dead or in jail.
@@SoSikWitIt sammie the bull was more gangsta than every rapper to ever exist and he was a snitch.. rappers aint gangsta.. gangstas got lawyers, cops, judges, coroners and nurses on the squad.. all these corny hiphop gangsters are just a bunch of angry dudes with daddy issues that cant read more than 4 letter words
@@mentalprograming5365 nobody in rap rn is tryna be a gangster or said they was so whats ur point
Man was waiting for him to big up Roc Marci
Jada is top three all-time. Bars are uncanny, frequently unmatched
Such a great analogy coming from a legend
Jada hit it on the head
I just love me some Jada🥰
That was a great analogy with the Stove and air fryer.
Fact of the matter is the fans don't buy or hate albums that are like the old ones.
I give props to Stephen for getting Jadakiss. We needed to hear from him and receive some gems❤
Won't lie,kinda shocked he ain't say someone like Rome Streetz,Benny The Butcher,Conway,WestSide Gunn,Boldy,Sauce Heist,Ty Da Dale,Grea8Gawd,Roc Marciano, there's a bunch of next level outer space fire spitters,that whole list,Mondo Slade,Dot Demo,Bub Styles,Chubs,Eddie Kaine,Rim,Fuego Base,Nemz,but,I guess Jada being a Lyrical Assassin,he needs some real next level next level spitter,tho everyone of who I mentioned is a straight up killer n if you don't know any of em,do yourself a favor,huh?...Salute
Word, I was surprised by that as well. He definitely fucks with Westside Gunn, Conway the machine, Benny the butcher, and Smoke Dza as they have done songs and toured together. Maybe he was thinking young rappers when asked about right now.
@@peterbadami4872 Salute,bro
You forgot Stove God
@@jordandavis3867 true,Salute Stove,all day,wasn't intentional,was going off the top of the head,n listed enough to get the point across,but nothing but Love n Respect for Stove God.Salute,bro

Nothing but respect jersey city lox for life
FAVORITE ARTIST RIGHT NOW: ROC MARCIANO 🔥🔥🔥
Real recognize real. Cole is by far the best rapper today and its not even close really. Man murders everything he touches
You , Kiss and myself agree about Cole being the best rapper in this generation. But please don't mention anything about him murdering anyone, the man apologized.
@@Asanda82 well first of all i said “everything” not everyone. As a fan im disappointed cole apologized but I completely get why he did. Hes a peaceful guy and wants to keep it that way. But the man does absolutely body every rapper any time he’s featured on their song. Theres a reason why the last time kendrick and cole featured on the same song kendrick decided to sing instead of rap
@@frankmurdock2121 I wish you guys can stop with these silly excuses for J Cole, I get it his your favourite emcee and that may have you agreeing to every move he makes. Firstly, I'm a hip hop fan before any rapper fan. You can battle another emcee without being personal or taking it to the streets. He shouldn't have been rapping as if he can battle any emcee out there. I'm not sure when you started listening to hip hop, but I can name many classic rap battles that were about emcees skills on wax, I don't buy this about him being "a peaceful guy"
@@Asanda82 so what is it then you think im just defending j cole cuz hes afraid of kendrick or something? Im a fan of kendrick and j cole and drake but there is just no universe where cole is losing a battle to kendrick. I mean as of right now kendrick is losing to drake so how would he beat j cole? There has never been a rap beef where it hasnt gotten at least a little ugly. The lightest it can go is peoples wives and kids being brought into it and the furthest it can go is biggie and tupac… And cole is friends with kendrick which is why i thought it was lame of kendrick to throw shots at cole on Like That. It just came off as petty jealousy to me. Call it excuses all you want dog but im very well versed in hip-hop history. Ill stop putting cole at #1 when he stops rapping like #1. Simple as that
He said alot a whole lot to unpack in it for sure
Dope Stephen A🔥💯👍🏾
JADAKISS THE KING 👑 OF🗽🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These albums now are Aired Fry. Wow
Jada is one of the goats of this thing called hip hop….it’s not even debatable. Mad love n respect
Great interview!!!
Let it simmer. Taste the sauce. Love jada and the lox from day 0.
Definitely a instant era we from that late 80,s early 90,s era
Come on jadakiss. I saw you giving boldy james big props just a few months ago.
O G rocking a Adidas tracksuit
We need a “Let Kiss Down” record by the end month Cole 😡
At this point with everyone chiming in, he needs to rename the Fall Off project to "Let Hip Hop Down"
Great answer by Jadakiss saying his son Really Jaewon.
The LOX is an Top 10 [all-time Hip-Hop] group... We Are The Streets (2000) is a certified classic
the game GON NEVER BE like them cds days, people get rich off ONE SONG (pop smoke, cardi)
JADA....Long Live The DBlock The Lox & RR 🔥🤜🏾😔🤛🏾🔥
Booked Jada. He came 3 deep off the plane💯
Jada’s point is about the saturation of today vs the vetted meritocracy of yesterday. Truthfully, there’s a lot of background for the consumer base to be caught up on correctly to engage with this conversation at times
In other words these new rappers just aint it
albums was audio cinematography so i understand what he’s saying albums are not made so focused on details cause its a different business the streaming.
still my favorite artist
The lox best rap group in the game still makin bangers & consistant
Top5 DOA Hands down. Legend. My Top 5 Nas, Scarface, Jadakiss, Cyhi da prynce, weeze
Ghostface killah
@@bernabefernandeztouceda7315 he in my top 10 for sure ...love ghostface
Longevity 🐐 NAS still Washing & Rinsing with the Intellect, Lyrics & Storytelling out Here!! Define My Name with Premo 🔥🔥🔥
I'm so shocked he didn't say Millyz, being signed to him and always together even got him a nice chain when blanco 6 dropped
Cole in the lab writing "I let Kiss down".
I knew it was Cole before he said it. And I knew the confusion just as well.
J Cole got Jadakiss confused like all of us 😂😂😂
I seen Jada at Macys in Miami when I stepped towards him I his security came from out of nowhere and snatched me up
Hip Hop Was Organic Back Then Now Like Kiss Said They Air Fryer
On reel to reel Hip hop History remix,power play studio...
Jada 2me iz tha GOAT…🫡🫡🫡🫡thatz juzt my opinion…
GOAT? Really? He’s great, but I’ve never heard of him being #1 on ANY top 5 list. He never outshined BIG on any track they were both featured on, so GOAT is stretching it.
@@powerfulcornelius3285 he literally said “that’s just his opinion”
Kiss one of the best ever, so many great NY emcees but Kiss cracks the top 15 in the city all time along with I’ll take him rap battling anybody on wax
Just imagining being born in the 80s and 90s listen to gunit diplomats the lox etc he right about the new days I'm born 1987
I was born in 1993, and I like late 90s, early 2000s/late 2000s, and early 2010s only.
Well he did say he liked Drake and J Cole 😬
