JADAKISS "THE LAST KISS"RUFF RYDERS/DEF JAM RECORDS
4.5 JABBZ
I wanna give a phat shout out to JADAKISS new album in stores this week (April 7th), "THE LAST KISS". This is not even an official review this some impromptu shit I wrote. Str8 off the head cuz dats how ILLY I'am with the literature. Jadakiss, 3rd album release. Jada supplying fiery of the east coast with New York raw rhymes. An exceptional emcee that should be on the ballot for KING OF NEW YORK. Jada comes with tight production provided by Swizz, Alchemist, Poobs, The Inkredibles and others. The album is a grand slam. I give it 4.5 jabbz, I would of gave it 5 but alotta rap and bullshit on the album for the radio kinda fucked up his lyrical vibe. Jada did keep his word, like he said on Dj Clue's Professional 3 album. "Learn how to switch ya style up and go southpaw". Which he did but the illest east coast/southern collabo was when Jada teamed up with Mr Young Money, Lil Wayne on the grand finale of the album's cut, "Death Wish". Be on the look out for OJ Da Juiceman in the near future. OJ who traded verbalz with Jada & Swizz on the song, "Who's Real". I don't know who's real but I do know OJ Da Juiceman in a couple of more months he will be DAT DEAL! Da album gave da listeners on whut a New York Emcee should sound like for New York or to represent New York. A well crafted mix of the streets, the parties and the bitches. Can't forget da bitches. We need da bitches cuz with out them whose gonna buy the album.
Let's step away from Jada for a minute and talk about Def Jam records. I notice alotta changes in the Def Jam office administration and alotta ex fans disappointed with the once A-LIST label. The new Def Jam are making the legacy of the original Def Jam crumble brick by brick. What is happening with rapping? Muh' fuckaz can't put profanity on album covers anymore. The original name of Jada's album was supposed to be called, "Kiss my Ass" but due its graphic nature it wasn't suitable for the public. A fuckin' album cover, do you how many artists released albums with a derogatory title in hip hop history. Since when does hip hop care about the public. I thought hip hop was the voice of the young, the voice of the streets, the voice of trappers, hustlahz, gangstas and thugs. Since when did hip hop start censoring album covers. It began in 2008 with Nas. Def Jam would not allow Nas to title his album, "Nigger" because of all the controversy around that word. Black people been called the word NIGGER for so long we think its our name. Theres worst words we've been called before to me the word, NIGGER is PG13. We been called all types of shit from JIGGABOO, PORCHE MONKEY, KUNTA, KOON, SAMBO, BO' JANGLES and the list went and goes on and on and is still going on. Them CRACKAZ hate us, they call us everything disrespectful and derogatory so don't start acting like a BITCH over the word NIGGER!
Whats up with B. E. T., they lost their soul just like Def Jam did. I know its a quote on quote supposedly family network. But come on, they need to stop tripping over this censorship mess. Which I find is odd. B. E. T. syndicates past shows from primary networks like The Parkers, Girlfriends and The Game. Everytime your about to hear simple curses or swears. Words like DAM, HELL, BITCH. These are PG curse words not as harsh and vulgar as the word SHIT, FUCK or MOTHER FUCKER. But B. E. T. edits those words. See the odd thing is all those shows that B. E. T. syndicates came from regular network television. (FREE TV TO BE EXACT) Networks like MY9 and CW allowed those words to be aired live. B. E. T. network which is a cable network of all places for GODSAKE doesn't allow it. You would think there would be no restrictions due to the fact that there on cable. It just amazes me at times, how NETWORK TV IS MORE REALER AND THOROUGH THAN BASIC CABLE! (You would think it'll be the other way around.)
