Hats off to Jada !

i grew up and jada, and i respect him…but why does he consistently get passes for trying so hard to crossover?!

i mean they really pull out all the stops for him every time,–to be honest; based on the painfully premeditated way in which all of his albums attempt to crossover, you could call jada the most commercial rapper of all time…

my point is that, he needs to understand that his monotone nyc hood flow is always only going to appeal to a certain male demographic no matter whether he gets mariah carey again or in this case neyo or whomever…having said that, he would outsell all of his previous efforts by holding down his true fans and making a street classic…

just my personal opinion…

Good for Jada….it would have been a bad look if he was outsold by the likes of Jim Jones and FloRida

I ain’t bought it yet, is it worth the money?

I was hoping he would beat 100k, glad to know he did. Way better than Jim Jones!

***I’ve had the CD early, and I pass it up to listen to the new UGK. . .I’m sorry, but CD wasn’t at all what I thought it would be. Plain and simple, too many features.

I challenge someone to count the tracks with features vs. Jada solo (remember,it’s HIS album!). . .Jada does his thing, but it’s watered down.

Worth downloading, that’s it.

Jada’s label is practicaly begging us to buy his album. since when is a rapper almost making it news? How come we weren’t given how many units were sold already to confirm the claim he’s close to 100 thou?

Impressive total? You might as well pat Jada on the head…good job.

but isn’t new york rap supposed to be dead?

NY rap ain’t dead it’s on life support.Like that Sprewell sweater he rockin.

that’s better than 90 % of the south’s first week… plus i sware def jam be buyin albums…

I’m happy for him! I thought he was gonna sell less. I’m going to cop the album 2day. NY stand up!

IT’S A DOPE ASS CD, I COPPED THE 1ST DAY IT CAME OUT. IT JUST SHOWS THAT IT IS STILL HOPE FOR REAL HIP HOP TO SURVIVE. XXL MAG USED TO BE THE SHIT, NOW IT’S TURNING INTO REAL LIFE SHIT!
THE #’S YOU HAD THIS CD DOING BASED ON YOUR STAFF’S OVERALL PREDICTION’S WERE WAY LOWER THAN YOUR PROJECTED #’S FOR MS. JENNY JONES NOT TO MENTION YOU GAVE MR.NANANANA AN XL RATING. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE RATING YOU GIVE JADAKISS. AS FOR THE PEOPLE SAYING DEF JAM IS BUYING THE CD’S, IF IT WAS THAT EASY TO BOOST ARTIST’S SALES EVERY LABEL WOULD BE DOING IT! 50 CENT SAID THE SAME CRAP WHEN HE GOT MOPPED BY KANYE WEST IN THEIR SALES BATTLE. HE SWORE THE NEXT 2 WEEKS AFTER 1ST WEEKS SALES THAT KANYE’S #’S WOULD DROP BY 70-80%. LAST I CHECKED THAT CD SOLD OVER 3 MILLION COPIES WHILE CURTIS TOOK HOW LONG TO FINALLY GO PLATINUM 2-3 MONTH’S MAYBE.

PEACE & GET MONEY!!!
MOGUL $$$ GAME ‘09!!

let’s go jada !

I fucks with Jada. But I just dont get celebrating 100k 1st week sales as a success. I guess it is by todays standards, but Im use to rappers blowing it out the box 1st week in my era (the 90’s) and that makes it hard to respect those numbers. I do realize that technology plays a role in the low numbers, but still…

Damn. I said 78k!

The chicks like this album!

Them Mims #’s looking anorexic….

It’s not trash or commerical just because it sounds good, the rhymes are nice and the beats are nice. There is one song that sucks because he did the thing where you put Lil Bitch on for sales. Mary J. is not trash, and most hip hop fans have always been down with Nas, Ghostface, Raekwon, Styles, and Swizz. The only thing I hate is his trademark sound at the start of songs which doesn’t attract new fans or make you want to hear his music.

Kanye’s last album was commerc. trash
Lil Wayne, etc, etc.

Not Jada. I like Styles more, but Jada crafted a good album here.

Thats whats up. Can you believe that?

Yo Big Ups to Jada but The album was wack to me He had to many guest appearance, and the beats were mediocre. I was checkin for that vintage Jada you like the mid 90’s Kiss.. I still cop the album doe, I’m suprised he creepin up on 100k but dispite my harsh criticism Kiss still Got the best Album out easily this year as far as mainstream Rappers go.

@megagavelli,

you nearly nailed it. jada is making tons on contrived commercial hits. which is really no different that most rappers.

it’s a great day when jada outsells the first week debuts of flo rida, mims, and bow wow. now, jada needs to get a 1/4th of the ringtone sales that those people get.

JUST LIKE I SAID! OVER 100K!. IN THE SALES PREDICTION ARTICLE. WILL MAKE IT TO 500K+. GOOD SHIT .

Thats wuts up, its better than 40-50k.

I dont know why so many people dont like the Kiss album its fire to me. At first I was not even thinkin about it but when I saw it I copped it I was very pleased honestly. I dont know why people want to hear mixtape material all day. I love mixtapes I have too many of them im talkin goin back to the cassette era but damn yall dont like album cuts?

Respect Kiss, finally a rapper that can actually spit sold some records. Isn’t that how it should always be ? apparently not.

I swear to god niggas will hate on everything.. You guys don’t understand that Jada is tryna appeal to the masses on this album, people need to understand that if Jada put out a album with street shit only he wouldn’t sell shit, coz niggas don’t buy cd’s like that.. He had street shit, commercial shit and club shits on there.. most Jada fans hate that song with that JUICE nigga, but guess what it’s poppin in the South..

Fans is some greedy ass niggas

I hope he does well please dont be another new jack city part 2

last week when they poised the question, i said at least 100K… Score one for real emceeing

Co-sign with Mpho! In an era were 99% of shit that comes out sucks I think Jada’s new album is pretty solid, and probably the best album to come out of NY since the heavily slept on album by Ghostface in 2006 titled Fishscale!

You niggaz need to fuckin DIE!….If this album sucks then the carter three is the best album ever.lol(even if Wayne did murk jada on his own shit…I Really hated to admit that)…..Yall same muthafucka’s prolly think Gucci Man is a lyricists LOL…It’s easily the best shit out so far this year besides that Saigon shit All In A Day’s Work….If you dont support this album YOU A BITCH! BEGIN HATE SEQUENCE NOW BITCHES!
