Jason Jerome Phillips (born May 27, 1975), better known by his rap name Jadakiss, is a rapper. He is part of the crew known as D-Block (consisting of Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch & J-Hood) and was a part of The LOX (with the same MCs, except for J-Hood).
Interest in rapJadakiss became a freestyler early in life and engaged in competitions by the time he was twelve. He and some of his early friends were given the opportunity to compete in the Jack the Rapper Competition in Florida, where Jadakiss was noticed for his battle rap ability. He met Dee and Wah of the Ruff Ryders, then a management company, and began hanging out and battling outside of the Ruff Ryders' studio where artists like DMX made their first hits. ControversyBill O'Reilly
"Why do niggas push pounds of powder? Why did Bush knock down the Towers?" O'Reilly took the position that the President should be allowed to sue Jadakiss for slander. The track was eventually banned on some radio stations or played with the lyrics in question censored. [1] In 2005, Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern's song "Bin Laden" sampled the line referring to Bush. Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z
Eventually, Jay-Z apologized to Jada and backed out of the beef; Russell Simmons created an enforced truce between the two artists, which was broken when Sigel started contesting that he won the beef. Kiss dissed back, and the beef was back on until the 2002 Powerhouse Concert, In Philadelphia, where they battled each other (note: they were not on stage at the same time, they each did a verse during their individual sets) still with no clear winner. Shortly before Beans went to jail, he and Kiss made up definitively, performing together at a show; after his release from jail, the two did a remix of a Sheek Louch song and appeared on a track on DJ Khaled's album. Ras KassWhen Ras Kass was recording his album Van Gogh, he enlisted the help of infamous hip-hop producer The Alchemist. Ras Kass recorded the song "Home Sweet Home," produced by The Alchemist. However, when Jadakiss began recording Kiss Tha Game Goodbye, the Alchemist sold Jadakiss the same beat that Ras Kass had already used to record his single, "Home Sweet Home." The song 'Kiss used it for was his hit single We Gon' Make It. Priority Records, Ras Kass' then record label, failed to act on this conflict and Jadakiss was able to release the Kiss Tha Game Goodbye album. Ras Kass was bitter about being double-crossed by the Alchemist, and released a few diss tracks, but the conflict ended quickly. P. DiddyWhen The LOX left Bad Boy Records, the group and each of its members' publication was still owned by label head P. Diddy. The group fought with him over royalties, debt issues and other things until 2005 when they briefly put their differences aside to perform with Jay-Z at his I Declare War concert. Afterward, they went on New York radio station Hot 97 to ask for their publication, which was given to them by Diddy.
TechniqueJadakiss has been known most for his gritty subject matter, such as selling drugs and robbing, much like that of the Notorious B.I.G.. He gained acclaim early on with his propensity for punchlines with a two-bar setup line and delivery line structure, and usually involves a three-syllable rhyme scheme wherein only three syllables of a line will rhyme with three syllables of the next one (usually the end syllables):
Jadakiss has a distinctive, raspy voice that he exhibits with a trademark cough-laugh "Ahaah!" sound at the beginning of his verses.
