Jadakiss Makes Impressive Chart Debut PDF Print E-mail

Jadakiss’ new album, The Last Kiss, debuted in at number 3 on Billboard Top 200, an impressive outing for the Lox rapper. The Yonkers-bred rapper moved close to 135,000 records when the Nielsen SoundScan numbers were announced today.

Jadakiss has been a staple in Hip-Hop music for over 10 years, but hasn’t seen the crossover commercial success that some of his peers have experienced.

The rapper said he expected to sell well based on his work, but would continue to press forward to keep the momentum going.

“Everybody wants to sell a million records but that's just the least of it. You've gotta get sponsors,” he said. “Not to mention [that,] I'm going to stay on this tour bus until the wheels fall off. I keep doing shows and arenas and then I'm hopping on a tour. You have to stay on the road and do other things. The sales of the actual physical album are down, you cannot just play on that like it’s the only card in your hand. You have to have to some other Trump card to fall back on.”

To further support The Last Kiss, he said he’s got a reality show on BET in the works.

Jadakiss said, “I'm looking for my next DJ [on the show]. I go to Philly, Chicago, Atlanta across the whole nation looking for the hottest upcoming DJ. I'm going to bring them back to Y.O. for some a la Diddy "Making the Band" type of s**t. They're gonna go thru a gang of competitions and who wins gets to be my next DJ.”

The Last Kiss marks Jadakiss' debut on Def Jam/Roc-A-Fella Records.

He would have sold more...In Detroit they didn't have enough in stock. My sister wanted it, she went to 4 stores and they didn't have it anywhere. I look for him to have a big week 2 also.

135k? and people say 50 flops when he sells 700k.. but no one says anything to jada. hahaha, wtf. im a big jada fun but this cd sucked ass, he tried to commercial it up for the sales and he ruined the music. a few good songs but not the real jada, nowhere near his other stuff

This is good news. Comparing Jada to 50 is completely unrealistic. 50 has an entire machine built around promoting and distributing his albums. There are literally regional teams responsible for hyping that shit. Jada may be with a big label now, but he isn't getting 1/10th of that attention.

Again, I think this is good news for rap and hip-hop. I'll be honest: I didn't expect nigga to sell this well. But glad he is--he (and, to the same degree, Styles) both deserve big numbers with their releases. Hopefully, this won't drop from week-1 to week-2.

Eating Jadakiss "no homo"... it doesn't get much more homo than expressing your will to eat a man when you are a man. As for the music, I downloaded it - but I don't think I liked it as much as a lot of you people. Some bumpable tracks without a doubt tho.

No Lie.. Jadakiss Is A MONSTER.
i qet scared about the fact that he can be a BIG positive effect in the qame.
real talk, he is A LOT of help.
Im not surprised by this blog.

Forqet that about "press forward" .. he needa rewind his talent and do it all over again in the NEXT project. then push play.

A lot of specialists claim that business loans help a lot of people to live the way they want, because they are able to feel free to buy necessary goods. Furthermore, some banks offer credit loan for different persons.
