 Could Have Been Much Better (Rating: 6 out of 10- -3.0 stars)

When Jadakiss was dropping a solo album, I was hyped as hell when I heard. After scoring so many hit singles with the LOX ("Money, Power, Respect", "Ryde Or Die [Chick]", etc.), he steps up to the plate as the first member of his crew to come out with a solo album.
Given that, back in '01, I was under the impression that this album was pushed back on Interscope, seeing that he released two singles before the album dropped ("Put Yo Hands Up" and "Knock Yaself Out"). The problem with this is that it seemed like hes gotten a little lazy with the lyrics. As the editorial reviewer mentioned, the album is flooded with Jada's consistant gun talk, which makes him seem like hes saying absolutely nothing new. The weak Aerosmith inspired "Jada's Got A Gun", and "I'm A Gangsta" shows no improvement since he was put on.
Jada pulls himself together on the tracks like "Show Discipline" with Nas. Then theres the classic with Styles P. on "We Gon Make It" (which shared the same beat with Ras Kass). The laid back "Crusin" is kinda great, which features Snoop Dogg. "Kiss Is Spittin" is wonderful, featuring Nate Dogg. I'll even "Here We Go Again" featuring DMX is nice, especially when Jada takes a shot a Beanie Sigel ("...the doc said I had to stop eating red meat, because I ate too many Beanie-Mac's"). Jada ends off the album on a positive note with "Keep Your Head Up".
Other guest appearances do very little, such as "It's Time I See You" with the majority of the Ruff Ryders, but everyone sounds weak. "What You Ride For" featuring Yung-Wun, Fiend, and Eightball makes Jada seems out of place (Note to any up and comming NY rappers: Stay off the down south stuff. It's NEVER worked.)
Overall, Kiss Of Death is a solid album. It could have been much better lyrically. The production here is very good too. This one is recommended if you're a fan of Jada, or the LOX. If you want to hear their best, I highly recommend Jada's sophomore album Kiss of Death, or Styles Gangster & A Gentleman, or Sheek's Walk Witt Me. Peace.

| Popular member of group the LOX, Jadakiss debuts with first solo effort Kiss Tha Game Goodbye. After apologizing for the wait of this album on "Intro" the first song "Jada's Got A Gun" as the subject is found in the title, he explains why he uses this as a means of protection and the effects of using one. The album picks up momentem with "Show Discipline" featuring Nas with impressive and memorable lyrical contents "...leave out the club with another n*gg*'s watch / body that man and let other n*gg*s watch..." For a more mainstream attempt with production from the Neptunes, "Knock Yourself Out" is a good addition for the LP's contents. "We Gonna Make It" featuring Styles of the LOX has dramatic violin section as the two went back to back. Production by the Alchemist deserves recognition as one of the highlights of the album. Jada featured the members of his group Sheek & Styles of the LOX on "None Of Y'all Betta" over a DJ Premier's East Coast sound production. Secquenced with perfection "I'm A Gangsta" featuring Parle followed by "Nasty Girl" featuring Carl Thomas shows another side of Jadakiss as he adapted well to the tempo. Taking it to the club or more of a great performance song "Put Ya Hands Up" is another single deserving spotlight opportunity. I'm "On My Way" to see my b*tch works with it's catchy hook and simplicity. "Cruisin'" featuring Snoop Dogg and "Kiss Is Spittin'" featuring Nate Dogg are good collaborations with a more West Coast instrumentation adding range to the concept of the album. Jada calls on his labelmates to assist on "It's Time I See You" as each flow back to back featuring an appearance by Sheek, Styles, Eve, Drag-On, Infa-Red & Cross without a hook or chorus. Going for a southern feel, "What You Ride For?" featuring Fiend, Yung Wun & Eightball contained a dirty South bounce to complete the overall basis for the album. Speaking on his lifeline "Feel Me (skit)" was a perfect addition to get a glimpse of his dues to get to where he is but should have been longer. Kiss Tha Game Goodbye is a solid album and contains a few surprises worth checking out and or adding to your collection. |

Not a bad debut from Jada {3/5 stars}
Submitted on: 2006-10-18 |
|
| Standout tracks:JADA'S GOT A GUN, SHOW DISCIPLINE(killer collabo with Nas), KNOCK YOUSELF OUT(that beat is still crazy), WE GONNA MAKE IT, NONE OF YALL BETTA(Vintage Lox plus the beat from Premier was icing on the cake), KISS IS SPITTIN, PUT YA HANDS UP, ITS TIME I SEE YOU, WHAT YOU RIDE FOR(young wun's verse was alright), UN-HUNH(Jada takes shots at Beanie Sigel), FEEL ME etc. Filler: F***in or what(wack as hell), Im a gangsta(too generic sounding), Nasty girl(wack girle record), On my way and Cruisin(worst matchup Ive ever heard). Bottom Line: Jadakiss's debut is not that bad but some of the filler listed brings his album down a bit. Jada has a killer flow but he shows his true potential here and there and that's not good especially for a nice emcee like him. |

One of my Top 100 fav albums
Submitted on: 2006-04-07 |

maybe even top 50, or top 25!
Much better than Kiss of Death , the best songs are None Of Yall Betta (Dj Premier beat), Discipline (with Nas)& Kiss is spittin (same beat as Regulate but a million times better...
Put Ya Hands up is obviously a shot at Jay-Z, since the beat is almost identical to his song called Do it Again (Put Ya Hands Up) and Jada tells him to put his hands down instead in this song... Also Good...
