T. Stanley No doubt D.O.C pen was hard asf it’s sad what happened he didn’t get to show the world his full potential. Real hip hop heads know that he was a monster
I saw Jadakiss and clicked with no thought. I loved his points; especially about self education via the internet. That's where oldschool can meet new school and meet up for some knowledge. He's a master MC who murders with each bar. Thanks for this one Sway!
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 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.
😂😂Yo, i LOVE how Kiss keeps cuttin Sway off to make his points. For me, that shows a lot of passion for what theyre talking about & passion for what he does.
Being from Brooklyn, the New York list is nuts .... Jada, Nas, Jay, Big, LL, Ra, KRS, Kool G Rap, Caz, Shan, Prodigy, Muthafucking Pun, Kane .... PAC music is so crazy, Scarface, Cube, DOC, Snoop, Andre 3000, Jeezy, damn, so many dudes .... Redman, Em, the whole Wu .... this art form is layered .... too many
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.
This is such an underrated comment with no where near the amount of likes it should’ve received. You straight had a school session. You know peoples attention span’s tho are limited to 40 characters or less
@@Aaron_Davis thanks bro i appreciate it. Lmao you hit the nail on the head though. Not enough critical thinkers out here left. Hence our current situation too...
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.
Agreed! It's no longer about the craft by emphasizing ghost writers. The industry couldn't allow music that uplifts us as a community that makes us think and become intelligent. So, they promote these stupid rappers to control us. Intelligent people produce intelligent music that intelligent people listen to.
To me you have to do top five rappers in eras. A lot of young people can't do that. You have the 80's, 90's, & 2000's.....80's Rakim, KRS-ONE, Kane, LL, Melle Mel...90's Big, Nas, Pac, Jay-Z, Kool G Rap....2000's Em, Jada, Fab, Wayne, 50
#1 Eminem " Yubba can subbabick my dubbibbabick through a tooba Summaladoomalama I'm not a human I'm a supersonic neurobonic suicidal unibomber" #2 Nas " I switched my motto -- instead of saying f-ck tomorrow, that buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto" #3 Biggie " Venue after venue I've been through, Coming to the telly so I can bend you, Send you to the store condoms and more , Jealous females call you sluts and whores" #4 Big Pun " Dead in the middle of little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middlemen who didn't do dididly" #5 Big L " I'm far from broke got enough bread And mad hoes ask Beavis I get nothing Butthead" TBH this was kind of hard because there are so many other great lyricists but this came to mind

Dam bob sagat just died yesterday random af for him to just walk in on a old ass Jadakiss interview I didn’t mean to watch. That’s crazy. Rip Bob Sagat .
This man is easy top 5 for me because I'm basically judging mc by they're originality .When ever you can hear someone rap and say he doesn't sound like no other is a big plus.
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.
I don't understand why people never put DMX or T.I in their top best tho?! Because if you go back to the beginning of their careers, you can see how consistent their discography has been.
EVERYTHING CONSIDERED, Tupac, Eminem, Jay, Nas, and BIG have the best argument currently. Kanye is extremely close and if we are just talking hip hop artists instead of strictly solo, Outkast is DEFINITELY in the convo. Drake, Cole, Kendrick and Chance have potential to be in the "Top 5" convo by the end of their careers...
I think jada bars way better than pac. Pac ain’t even that good as a rapper. He’s an icon. Kanye more an artist than rapper as well. When I think best rapper I’m think best bars. Everyone else is valid.
Couldn't agree more with Sways criteria. Aside from The monetary impact...my list Are all on that lyrical pertiinence that evokes laughter Grief, anger andjoy. Those are My favs.
***** 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....
***** 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
***** 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 "
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.
This was a dope. interview about the culture. It felt/feels super honest and accurate. Plus hip hop has just reached a time where the fans and their children are both checking in .....
That's was happening in my day too. My parents listened to the originals from the late 70s to the early 80s.I listened to the 90s growing up. Now it's the grandkids listening.
WOW! Somebody actually credits Bahamadia besides myself. I was obsessed with her first album. You have to sit back and close yo' eyes in order to vibe with her. BO$$ is my favorite though. I knew her album inside and out. She was so dope to me.
Just because you're a kid doesn't mean you can't listen to old music, there's something called the Internet to search for it! I'm 15 and all I listen to is 80s and 90s and its because I discovered it all through the Internet!
Responding 5 years later 😆 but I'm 29 and was introduced to rap through CD's and TV and discovered classic rock through GTA vice city.. they both remain my favorite genres and the internet keeps me discovering new and old music to this day.
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..
Jada is a very fine example for preserving your own style while still being part of the actual progress in hip hop. gotta respect that. and of course he speaks truth with every sentence. all the heads who love this music for 20,30 years know what he's talking about. all good with the new shit though, keep it moving and stop hating those young rappers for their looks, but you still should know where it's all coming from if you wanna talk the talk.
There's no wrong answer...most people will relate most with artist of their generation because music evolves and every generation will judge based on what's popping during their generation.Believe it or not there's 20 year olds who don't know shit about Pac and B.I.G.
Jada said the realest shit ever!! As long as you're in the conversation....
Jadakiss has one of the coolest voices.

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

This was a dope. interview about the culture. It felt/feels super honest and accurate. Plus hip hop has just reached a time where the fans and their children are both checking in .....
That's was happening in my day too. My parents listened to the originals from the late 70s to the early 80s.I listened to the 90s growing up. Now it's the grandkids listening.
WOW! Somebody actually credits Bahamadia besides myself. I was obsessed with her first album. You have to sit back and close yo' eyes in order to vibe with her. BO$$ is my favorite though. I knew her album inside and out. She was so dope to me.
right ... she was ILL an B4 her time in my eyes , salute to those that understand the Bahamadia Barz #IfJillScottWasARapper 😂👍💯
+LaCheleWallace I remember just losing my mind to "deeper". The sample an beat wit her vocals were mesmerizing.
flex1481 OKAAAAAY! That was my jam My favorite's _I Don't Give a Fk_ though. I listen to it all the time.
Yup, that whole album goes in.
That shit was banging
Jadakiss one of my favorite rappers other than Wu-Tang cuz I'm Wu-Tang fan also
This episode gave me so much nostalgia. Jadakiss and Bob Saget!!!
RIP Bob
Smoking Gun / What if / Why = Best jadakiss tracks
Gotta throw We Gonna Make It in there as well
+Mr. Speaker Can't forget about Death Wish
'The Last Kiss' was a hot album.
That jawn with Mary J. Blige 'Grind Hard' was nice, yo.
I have all of Jadakiss albums I'll definitely be copping this one.
That Whole Cd was 🔥But I used 2 Listen 2 💨🔫Everyday When it Dropped...
16:45 is the most telling part of this interview.
Love the positive energy. Nothing but love and respect in that studio
love Jadakiss yo. He's 1 of the reasons I'm still following the rap I do. Slept on
K-Rino is in the top tier, go listen to "The Song Valley of Decision" or "The Maven" Album.
Dope ass intro sway!!!!
My top 5:
Rakim
Bid Daddy Kane
Kool G Rap
Biggie
Nas
@Xarrar Laiq only got 5 spots bruh
@Xarrar Laiq all those would make a great 6th man, but I wouldn't replace any of my five with those. I might replace Nas with KRS-1 tho.
@Xarrar Laiq thanks bruh. Too many legends to narrow it down to 5
Just because you're a kid doesn't mean you can't listen to old music, there's something called the Internet to search for it! I'm 15 and all I listen to is 80s and 90s and its because I discovered it all through the Internet!
Responding 5 years later 😆 but I'm 29 and was introduced to rap through CD's and TV and discovered classic rock through GTA vice city.. they both remain my favorite genres and the internet keeps me discovering new and old music to this day.
Yea im only 19 but my mind is old too
That bust is killer. Makes him look like "King Jada"
Jadakiss best rapper👍🏽
Best bald rapper...but he nice!!!!
Hands Down
+B King pac was bald
+B King dmx was bald
+B King bruh
12:00 I was like TUPAC??!!
Tupac is my all time favorite Artist, but not quite a top MC because he touched your soul
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..
Thanks for interview preciate Jada for keeping the kraft stories always been on point bar for bar
Jada is a very fine example for preserving your own style while still being part of the actual progress in hip hop. gotta respect that. and of course he speaks truth with every sentence. all the heads who love this music for 20,30 years know what he's talking about. all good with the new shit though, keep it moving and stop hating those young rappers for their looks, but you still should know where it's all coming from if you wanna talk the talk.
KRS - Rakim - Guru - Tip - Em - Masta Ace -
2pac, eminiem, lil wayne, jadakiss, dmx 💯 salute to the greats, and rip to the goats that's still in hip hop today
Why isn’t No One talking about the Bronze Jada Statue ? My God It Looks Amazing !!! I need one for every one of my fav rappers !!!
That'll be so lit 🤔💯
1.Pac 2.Nas 3.Biggie 4.The Lox 5.Em 6.Az 7.Scarface 8.Wu 9.Wayne 10.Pusha T /Ace Hood
There's no wrong answer...most people will relate most with artist of their generation because music evolves and every generation will judge based on what's popping during their generation.Believe it or not there's 20 year olds who don't know shit about Pac and B.I.G.
Always overlooked,Guru
I can't do a top 5 I gotta have a top 30
