New Music: Jadakiss, Who’s Real [ft. Swizz Beatz & OJ da Juiceman]

03.15.09

Song: Who’s Real [ft. Swizz Beatz & OJ da Juiceman]
Artist: Jadakiss
Album: The Last Kiss
Label: Def Jam Records
Producer: Swizz Beatz
Notes: none
Analysis: If I were to compile a shortlist of corniest rappers ever, Swizz Beatz & OJ da Juiceman would be up near the top. I expect way more from Jada than a song that chants “if you’re real and you know it clap your hands” in the chorus.

New Music: Jadakiss, Can’t Stop Me

01.10.09

Song: Can’t Stop Me
Artist: Jadakiss
Album: The Last Kiss
Label: Def Jam
Producer: Neo da Matrix
Notes: none

Analysis: “Upbeat” isn’t really a word that anyone would use to describe Jadakiss, but on ‘Can’t Stop Me’, Jadakiss rhymes over an upbeat horn track with the same intense-yet-laid-back flow that he would use on a beat with gunshots all over it.
