Yo.. All this time looking at this video, I never noticed that!! 💯 Especially with a raspy voice and going on MEGA tours probably helped him achieve that reward.. 🤔💯
I don’t think it was necessary the cursing that was holding him back, I just think he was over thinking it but when dude said he can curse it was like saying go all out 😂
I've watched this so many times and I still don't understand how he did this. The flow, the timing, editing himself, the cadence, breath control, no hiccups and hes got fiends doing stickups...this is incredible.
Dude style is virtually an instrument in and of itself because of the key point that you highlighted: rhythm rider. He flow like he's in the pocket the way a drummer is said to "be in the pocket". This is Jadakiss, man. In a Cypher with Kane, Rahim, G Rap and KRS.........JADA COULD HOLD HIS MUTHAFUKKIN OWN MY G. Believe that!
I don't think he was worried too much about the cursing part but more of them censoring the guns and drug aspect of his rhymes , once they gave him the green light and gave him the ok his shit took off
+Angelo Kush no man lol it was a written. he just needed a second to remember and asked that question to make it seem natural. nothing to do with cursing *smh*
People think rappers who need swear words are weak with bars, but like this comment proves it has nothing to do with laziness (although it definitely can). Its just being restricted in general in a live atmosphere where you rely on improvisation. I been rapping for 14 years and I definitely aint no Jadakiss but when im told to freestyle clean the difficulty comes in trying to think of the next bar while ALSO constantly thinking about not cursing. Itd be the same if someone told him “you cant say the words cheese, dog, apples, or bubbles” because its just more to think about while you already thinking about quick improvisation with no time to think. Anyone who freestyles knows what im talking about Oh and I know its irrelevant but a lot of these people who say “rappers are lazy they have to curse all the time” are usually the same people who will tell you their favorite comedians are the dirtiest ones who use the most swear words
@@Calilou52^READ THIS GUYS COMMENT. I'm not in freestyle but yea that's what I was gonna say kinda, itd be very hard if you were thinking about not cursing instead of just rhyming words about what you wanna say instead of taking out some words you use in everyday life( if you curse it's like a personally with you too, like who you are sometimes) so that'd be hard, he just went in after they said you can curse, they noticed like I did and Ida told him too lol
Yyp... since before the funkflex mixtape days. Used to smoke bud to the lox in the late 90s Would thrash the ps2 to the lox in the early 00s Would bag up and get my hustle on in 2009 - 2013 with kiss mixtapes and youtube mp4s loaded up on my ps3 hard drive. Through to kiss being on all my Spotify Playlists. I'm happy the man(along with SP and Sheek Louch) are getting their flowers.
Hell yeah !! I was hoping someone would acknowledge that too, it's a" if you don't rap you wouldn't understand " kinda thing cuz it eases your mind by not limiting you
When he said why everybody locked up tho " everybody 357 & 4-5th'n it.....drug program 2 to 4 ....3 to 6'n it " I almost drop my damm phone yo. dude is a MONSTER.
There is an argument to made that Jadakiss may be in the top 3. A raw hip hop lyricist. He is the epitome of what the art form is supposed to be...represents the streets, crazy flow and cadence, sick metaphors, grimy & braggadocious lyrics, street credible rap with impeccable timing. He's a different breed. Man...I'm so glad he's finally getting his flowers!! 🌼🌻🌼🌻
Your Late its like none of yall ever heard of JADAKISS untill that VERSUS BATTLE with DIPSET and THE LOX see ever since the versus battle JADAKISS has hes streams and views up by 200% yall are those who slept on the ninja hes been saying hes T5DOA for years now you see him now you hear him now yall are some suckers fr fr!
The two lines "they didnt know about the slug game" and "find out another n* dead light the pif up" sounds so slick, gritty and urban its perfectly said
jetshockey5 Greatest of all time? I hate these comments about Eminem. He's alright. Kendrick will eat Em up. Lux will eat Em up. Nas will eat Em up. How's he the greatest when he can't even top Rakim' s debut album PAID IN FULL or Big Daddy Kane LONG LIVE THE KANE. Do you even know about Big L, Tupac, Kool G, Pun, shit REALTALK Em can't fuck wit Lauryn Hill. Gtfoh with that GOAT talk!
Nickey Black your fuckin stupid Eminem has 4 albums that are better than all those he is the best lyricist best story teller Kendrick lamar can't fuck with em rakim is a great mc but he can't touch em you don't know real rap fuck out a here
Dipset was my shit growing up. I was 13 when diplomatic immunity dropped. Their music just brings me back to a special time. That said, they were WILDLY unprepared for the Lox. Certain points I almost felt embarrassed for them 💀
2021 and the bars are still fire🥰... Where are the real rappers at? Real Raps not dead, ya'll just investing your time and money in the mediocre clout vs The Craft and Resume. 😍 Jadakiss /The Lox Forever!❤🔥💖
