- 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.

Jadakiss has one of the coolest voices.
If my dog could talk. It would have Jadakiss' voice
+THEINFAMOUS1011 😂😂😂😂😂
+carloctave Yes he does. He should do radio.
+carloctave haha for sure
I also like Jarule's voice.
Jada said the realest shit ever!! As long as you're in the conversation....
Kiss never spit a wack verse ever
FACTS
LOADB Never Ever
Wack cant be discuss with Jada
Lloyd Banks Neva spit a wack verse neither same with AZ And Big L
@@Prodigal450 stlyes p rates Lloyd Banks highly.
Can't believe I missed this interview. Thanks Jadakiss, thanks Verzuz, thanks sway!
The great KRS ONE said and I stand by this" record sales don't make you the dopest !!!!!!!!
What beat is that when Bob Saget came in? Please.

The game usually sleeps on D.O.C.!!! I'm glad he mentioned homie! D.O.C. was a lyrical mastermind!
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
Facts!!!
He was ahead of his time .
D.O.C. spit f'n hot 🔥 when he dropped! 💪🏾✊🏾💯♾
Doc pen didn't stop he was there for Dre, Snoop and Eminem that's why he is still in Dre's camp
Anybody who wasnt born in the 80's early 90's i feel bad for u... Great era!!!
im born in the 00's but listen to these people, be it nas or whoever, i have to thank my bro and the radio
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
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..
@@alikorestate tf?? So younger generation’s cant appreciate it now??? That doesnt make any sense
@@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.

JADA WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE TOP FIVE!!!!!!!!
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!
Shoutout to Sway man, he seems really present and is expressing himself so well during this interview, props to him 🙌 quality host.

He still looks like he’s 24.
The man doesn’t physically age.

that's what I'm talkin bout. Jada said, I'm a student of the game....he been listenin
Jennie RedRose Jada knows what he's talking about. When he mentioned Bahamadia in top female MC's I was like DAMN!
+Kool J word. most ppl dont know about Bahamadia!
Jennie RedRose Bahamadia is dope period
now I see where T'Nah Apex gets her influence. Thanks for the put on.
@ Kool J
Sway is the OG of hip hop radio...
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

I agree the question of top 5 is more about the convo than the actual list.
The kiss of death is one of the best albums of alltime every track is nasty

Champ is Here Mixtape
No cap thats my favourite too kiss of death
Dam thats better then the last kiss
😂😂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.
Sway always does a great and positive job introducing people!
SWAY: Bob, you got 16 bars?
BOB SAGET: I've been to 16 bars this morning....
Great show. Keep it coming. One of the best shows out.
Awesome show, I love it. Keep reppin it Sway, you and Heather B be killin it all day long.
One of my favorite rappers, I love Jada...He is so underrated!
#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
respectable list
Is the Eminem one a joke? It's gibberish
+filthy chan you never heard that freestyle?
Fernando Ruiz no, it's just random syllables stringed together to make up gibberish. Here's my version of the top of my head:
yaba baba abba saba kabba my dickaba sucka acka hacka nimbus lingus fingus dingus
+filthy chan look up the fubba you cubba cubba freestyle it is one of the best freestyles of all time " before the made up words he says "Your making me so bored Im gonna just make a new language"
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
Yes
MF DOOM fits into 80s, 90s, and 2000s
@@mr.neqtan a man of culture I see
@@juthikam yea I came up through all them eras. Rakim honestly transcends into the 2000s as well. The work he did with Primo was fire.
@@mr.neqtan true. But madvillainy is untouchable. Absolute God standard.
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.
@@realeyesrealisereallies8607 lord know
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.

the champ is here!!
Dope ass intro sway!!!!
I would have loved to see the previous footage before. The energy was really high and sway was tearing up till he calmed himself down. Good interview
If I got a dollar for every time Jay Z used biggies lyrics in his songs 😂
Well, for me, i might not be rich. But I'd be done with going to work everyday. 😂😂
J is a BITER not a writer. Great artist.... Got that Dynasty joint in the car now. History has shown he's a BITER not a writer
@TtiRred954 Big had incredible songs. Come on now.

You could tell kiss felt appreciated when dude called in but it’s well deserved 🤜🏽🤛🏽💯💯💯
Always overlooked,Guru
Damn Jadakiss hasn't aged in 15 years! He looks great!
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.
Well not chance the rapper idk what you thinking mentioning him in a Jadakis vid…
Sway's introductions can be verses. 🔥
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.
OMG BOB SAGET IS THE MOST RANDOM DUDE AROUND LMAO AND JADA WAS STAR STRUCK 😂😂😂
Lyrically:
Em
Nas
DMX
Pac
Jada
In 10 years Cole will be #1
I would have agreed with your list 10 years ago.
there are better rappers lyrically than Pac
+Mr. Speaker There's a lot more who are much more complex.
Pac was a poet
dmx over biggie?
No AZ on anybody's list yet plenty of Nas? You gotta pay respect to one of the most respected underrated emcees of the game.
dretheman123 the only person to body bad on a track.
dretheman123 AZ , Pun, Kool G Rap, Krs One, LL cool J, Big L, Jeru da damaja, Rakim, Guru the most underrated emcees
Facts az is savage
Facts AZ is under rated@he is better than most of the rappers on that list..
If Cube and Rakim aren't on a top 5 list that list is wack period.

that's right I never been a biggie fan god bless the dead but I always thought he was overrated in my opinion
***** 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 "
***** but one thing is definite... This does make great conversation piece across the board just like a religious convo lol
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.
these young dudes don't respect us older dudes they don't care about research all they care about is the attention.
Big factz couldnt of said it better
But they are sampling everything possible from our era and STILL don't understand or appreciate the elders
Some do, I'm 27 and was born '94 I definitely have a top 10 not 5 but even my top 5 is still deadly old-school rap
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.
That statue is creepy man.
Lmao word...
thats what I was thinking.. they mustve got the North Koreans to craft it coz Jada's statue looks asian
+PhamNet lol I was just bout to say that.

+Antonio Johnson were is mos def black thought so many other mc dammm all the list i see most are wack
Here's another top.1.KRS one 2.Ice Cube. 3.Rakim 4.GZA 5.Scarface.
+Antonio Johnson GZA is a lyrical monster and storyteller
Jordan M.Johnson Kareem Abdul Jabbar long retired from basket ball yet their still respected and admired, so why cant hip hop apply that same respect?
I couldn't agree more❤✌
yall got some nutty lists
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.
yup. Jada Kiss is one of my top five hip hop/rappers he's truely is one of a kind.
Jadakiss The myth, the Legend. East Coast Scarface. Respect and Salute..
This episode gave me so much nostalgia. Jadakiss and Bob Saget!!!
RIP Bob
@5:22 Jada hit that water bottle with no water in it haha look at that face after the double shot he took lmao folks LIT
Black Thought is always in my conversation about T5DOA
jadakiss and young chris 2 of my favorite over looked rappers and they never lack bars. you cant find 1 song they aint give hot hot bars
When I was 13, and my friend played me Big Daddy Kane’s Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy and I heard it fir the first time, it was our anthem all summer long. 😂 omg we played that album to DEATH. LITERALLY. My boom box by the pool ate her tape. 😂🤣 there were tears. God I love hip hop, and have fir most of my life. ♥️ If I had to name MC that I feel never gets the recognition and shine that he absolutely deserves, and is never in a top 5?? Mos Def. Omg his 3rd album (counting his Blackstar collab with Kweli) The New Danger is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made IMO opinion. If you’ve never heard it, go, right now, and check that out. It’s epic. That album is absolutely perfect. A masterpiece. That no one ever talks about. Just like how he’s universally ignored and overlooked. Very unjustly overlooked. That’s just MO.
Love it in front 3:00 on the DOT video music box real hip hop days🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2. Biggie
3. Dmx

I'm waiting on the Fabolous & Jadakiss mixtape!!!!
DAMN SWAY! Talk your talk Brother!!!
5:48 - Kiss can't even speak casually without his clumsy ass DROPPING PRECIOUS RARE EARTH GEMS...
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
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...
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.
love Jadakiss yo. He's 1 of the reasons I'm still following the rap I do. Slept on
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.
16:45 is the most telling part of this interview.
Jadakiss my #1 favorite rapper of all time. Then, now, and probably forever.
Legendary ATLanta here at this interview for the second time since 5 years
Dope interview from Sway as usual & another great album! I actually did a track by track review of it on my channel. Kiss really proved that he is Top 5 on this! Salute to the vet! Ah Ha
At 24 biggie had surpassed any rapper in the past in the present and the future.
Greatest flow of all time, the voice the metaphors, story telling, painting a picture.
Nobody was born nicer than biggie.
Nobody
He was never better than kgr
This interview is beautiful , cause I always loved Kiss , old Clue tapes. Big with the cream beat
That bust is killer. Makes him look like "King Jada"
Finally someone who names King Tee the great!
Thank GOD somebody understands that K.I double needs to be in the top 5 hands down
