Time's NOT up for the Strength of Roc-A-Fella -- Peep Jadakiss' Video for "Welcome to the ROC"

| 195 Comments

Yeah. “The strength of Roc-A-Fella.” Lord knows Kiss is the only hope the ROC has right now.

Jadakiss- “Welcome to the ROC”

I wonder who is behind pushing to the public Jadakiss’ spot at the R-O-C, which I thought would have been defunct now.

Or maybe he’s pushing himself?

The thing isâ€"and especially in this day in ageâ€"labels don’t pay real lyricists any mind until they see the artist building buzz for themselves. So if Kiss keeps this up, IDJ might catch on and actually help him make moves. All that attention Kanye is getting is because he built up the hype himself, and stays on the grindâ€"even if that means stealing someone’s hit song and making it HIS hit song, accompanying video, radio play and all (Sound familiar? Richboy’s “Throw Some Ds” lol.). Most rappers these days are just lazy and wait for a single to make them pop, then they kick back and let the hype roll in. But it doesn’t last. Those that want it most take the time to build a following.

Jadakiss has the credibility while Uncle Murda and Tru Life really don’t, so I can understand why Def could give a two f*cks. But Kiss? Nah... can't let one of the best in the game go to waste.

"throw the chinchilla in the fire like Frank"

he's back!
*insert Jada laugh here*

them vanilla dutches is lovely kid...best rolling utensil out there
this shit is fire..jada 1 of the best..yo jada holla at me i can roll better

Jadakiss is best New York Rapper alive and dead PERIOD

JADA IS THAT BIZZNESS! BUT CAN WE GET A LOX ALBUM SOON? I'LL BUY THAT!

KANYE WEST:........................GRADUATION THE MUSICAL MIXTAPE................................http://www.datpiff.com/Kanye-West-Graduation-The-Musical-mid11109.html

Jadakiss sucks!!!....I'd rather listen to myself crap!

Kiss is definitely in the Top 30 ever

I am amazed that anybody thinks that in the current state of hip hop any old hero will make any moves. Rappers have become so delusional.
I read a Sheek Louch interview recently, where he was saying that "the anticipation for my album is crazy, people can't wait to get it" - who are these "people"?
Not that I dislike Sheek nor Jada, but people are at times quite crazy themselves.

And to the other fags around here, stop lying. Everybody is saying - on other blogs as well - that they're gonna support the record...nigga please. We all know none of you will buy anything.

Remember Sean Price' "Supastar" and Ghostface Killa's "FIshscale" album? Both got big praise beforehand, I think they're both great albums, but both both flopped hardcore. Sean sold 4000 the first week...where y'all at, I thought you guys wanted to support real hip hop? Fuck outta here!

i wish Jadakiss would stop his trademark laugh ("uh-haaa") on every damn track. it sounds like a parrot being choked.

the rap game is looking more like the WWF day by day

REAL TALK IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUUUUUUUUSE...NIGGERS

I'm going to keep it real. Jada Kiss is a little above average, but most of you are sucking him because you're told you're supposed to. You see your friends saying he's good, dj's say he's good, so you run with it. This is very similar to Nas in my opinion. It's like you saying Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player ever, even though you've never seen it. You're being influenced.
-
About 50% of his tracks are wack, 30% are OK and 20% are hot. He's not a great song writer and his lyrics aren't that hot. His best selling cd ever was based on 3 SOFT ASS SINGLES WITH HIM NOT EVEN DOING THE HOOK (why, k-i-s-s me, and that other crap).
-
Stop sucking him for real. If he would've had to come up without Diddy or Big, most of you would not like him and if you all like him so much, why does he NEVER sell? Why are the most popular rappers online, the ones who never sell? I swear it's like 500 people who make it seem like Kiss is a huge star.

Jadakiss will never get a release date just like uncle murder, tru life. Hip hop ceos use these "street dudes" in order to seem closer to the project demographic. 50 did it with mop jay did it with mop. Its all a part of jays plan. Unless tru life gets an album i really dont see that. Jada should get a koch deal.

^^^ 50 was trying to release an album for MOP, but he said that fame kept bullshitting. He wanted fame to diet so he could go on long tours and not break down, plus he wanted him to get serious in the studio. Fame just wouldn't do it. 50 just released MOP from G-Unit records and he was nice enough to pay off all the debts they used to carry and not force them to repay him. MOP is a very lazy crew. They don't realize this shit is work.

Yo my dude Jada is one of the best and he reps NY well!! He has lyrical content, a commanding voice and versatility. There's not many artists holding it down for NY these days but he's definitely one of them! I don't know if the ROC is a good look though. Beans or Free didn't do well, as far as I know, only Kanye. Still though I support him and I will cop the official CD as I did Kiss of Death.

He should have never signed to da C.O.C.Stick with ya niggas.They gettin mo money with independent lables than he will with the Gay.This nigga is just lazy thats why he aint got the respect he deserve yet.Smoke too much weed,chill on dat shit and get to grindin.

I also spit myself reppin Brooklyn! Pure Hip Hop not that dumbed down swagger jackin other region crap either!!! Check my page to get a feel for me!! Myspace.com/layerissolidarity!!!

This Jada is trash..... if this is what he's been doing over at the ROC.... he ain't never comin' out. Thought this nigga still had some flames but seems like those days are over. It's cool too cause nobody is hot forever... look at his boss as an example.
Dudes need to stop being brown noses..... stop kissing ass... you got that shit all in your face.

word cant wait for the new jada album. this video rite here its just a mix tape video for you tube, jada be droping you tube videos some times its not for his new album.i see jadakiss as a very great mc cause he can do pop,underground,gangsta,and he cant get deep . a lot of rappers cant do that.i think the long wat for his album was due to his label problems with diddy.but i think he will have another hot album and go plat like he did on his last.1

BD you're clearly a stan. You're no different than people who vote for president based on them solely being democrat or republican, instead of what the candidate is about. You're unblind loyalty is sickening. Kiss pretty much sucks now and once again, HE WAS NEVER THAT GOOD TO BEGIN WITH.
-
Layer, you're name is corny, you're not a Black Panther, you look mad goofy as shit and you make brooklyn look bad. Get your ignorant west indian ass out of here. Big lipped monkey looking nigger with your corny ass 1982 hat on.

@real talk you must think wayne and t.i r nicer than Nas or Kiss. lol. did u even listen to Kiss bars on this track...dont be mad coz Jada gets respect. and yes he's dumb nice on the mic...

real talk....give it up. ure like the only dude who doesnt like Jada...go back to your t-pain and wayne

Jada is in my top 100 rappers of all time. He's somewhere around number 99

First off I can tell you live in India or England, somewhere overseas because you said "coz" so don't tell an American about hip hop, you ignorant fuck.
-
Now as far as your silly comment, I know lil wayne is garbage 90% of the time and uses a ghostwriter anyway, TI has no metaphors, no punchline and basically just sells based on his fake personality, but that still doesn't mean Nas is a genius or Kiss is good.
-
Guarantee you're the only one who listened to this video and thought the lyrics were good.

NIGGER IF SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE KISS, HOW COME:
-
1) 90% OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS?
-
2) HE DOESN'T SELL ANY RECORDS AND THE ONLY ALBUM THAT EVEN WENT CLOSE TO GOLD WAS BASED ON 3 SINGLES WHERE THE OTHER PEOPLE MADE THE SONGS THROUGH THE HOOKS?

Close to plat***

real talk...check your facts b4 u speak out your neck

-Money power Respect - Platinum

-We Are The Streets- Gold

-Kiss Of Death - 900,000+

'Kiss the game Goodbye - Platinum

never sold huh?...say hi to soulja boy

Nigger, stop believing lying ass D-blocks inflated numbers. If he sold so many records HE WOULDN'T OWE MONEY. Lmao, is it that hard to understand? He goes on the air and says he's platinum when he sells 650,000 records.

I know that's you too layer you ugly ass nigger. 30 years old talking about you rap. Nigger your lips look like your allergic to oxygen and swelled the fuck up.

i guess d-block run Soundscan...lol. youre reachin dude.

name 10 rappers out now lyrically nicer than Kiss....i cant wait

@real talk stop talking shiit about everyones comments wont you get dressed brush your teeth fix your hair, tie your shoes than jump out your bedroom window!!!!

So you pay the money just to see what a rapper sold huh? If not, I'd love you to send a link to your sources. I think 95% of all musical acts, in all genres suck now a days, but that doesn't make Kiss good because there's no next great hope out there. It's like saying you're the cutest out of the ugliest. NIGGER

Wtf does BD stand for? Big Dummy? You can't even make a decent effort at dissing someone you simple minded bastard. Who taught you how to use a keyboard?

i think real talk is a fat 47 year old man that sits on the computer and hate on every damn thing he sees.

If you think Jada's verse here is weak...ure straight gay. dude is a beast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U-VcRD_Ygw

if dude was so wack how did he spar with Beans toe to toe?

You thought wrong you fucking ignorant nigger. REAL TALK BACK IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING HIZZOUUUUUSE. IT'S ON AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

This nigger more ignorantMC ignored my request that he cite his sources on Jadas album sales, ignores the lame ass lyrics/video above and went to find the best jada verse he could get from 20 years ago. LMAOOO
-
NIGGER, listen up. Jada is wack and he didn't go toe to toe with Beans. Beans won that but stans like YOU automatically tried to claim Jada won, just like Jay-Z and Nas. Jay-Z won that, but stans gave it to Nas the "underdog".

jada is kool that song he did with mya on her first album was fresh.

yo real talk wtff??? whats your deal homie it was cool till you came in out you sound mad stupid son.wont you stop all the hate on everyone and go find who your dad is cause it seems somebody dident teach you how to be a man.its people like you is the reason why we get called nigaz.

I'm giving you real talk you fucking ignorant nigger. You're the reason YOU'RE called a nigger. Ignorant ass nigger. You can't even type out your thoughts coherently. FUCK YO FAVORITE RAPPER NIGGER!!!!!!

Yo Lisa you got a myspace page? I'm bored. Post that ASAP.

Cause I cant.

Jadakiss is overrated and D-Flop stays broke. Jada's still in the red, remember when he had to return that jewelry? lol.
Thats prolly why people up him so much, everyone loves to dickride broke rappers. Then when they come up, its HATE HATE HATE!!
