Jadakiss is inarguably one of the greatest rappers of all time and owes much of his legendary status to his unique voice just as much as his penmanship.
During his appearance on the new Uproxx show Fresh Pair, Jadakiss was asked to give his top 5 voices in hip-hop. Needless to say, he relished at the opportunity.
“This show is amazing because nobody ever asked me who I think got the Top 5, or Top 3, or any type of voices,” said Jada. “And it took me a while—that’s like, education in music, just to know the different, sonically of people’s voices… Just somebody’s voice to add on what they bring to the table.”
He continued, “Just unique voices for me, as I start learning about it, I think Guru, rest in peace, he had an ill voice.”
“[Method Man], you know, when the Wu came, Meth’s voice was deep and raspy and he has an ill voice. Big, with that nasal…it sounds like he’s having a hard time breathing but that’s making his cadence extra crazy. Tone Loc, gotta shout out Tone Loc. Tone Loc’s voice was ill.” He later named Nas rounding out his top 5.
