Jadakiss Kisses Album Title Goodbye

Written by Cyrus Langhorne


D-Block's Jadakiss has decided to change the title of his long-awaited album to The Last Kiss after receiving negative feedback from retailers.

In a recent video Jada confirms the rumors on being forced to change the project's original title Kiss My Ass.

"I had to change the name of my album. Kiss My Ass wasn't testing well at retail," he admitted. "Not even with the exclamations or none of that. So we had to switch it to The Last Kiss."

With the new name in effect, Jada also revealed the overwhelming concern people had on him possibly retiring.

"Some people asked me is it my last album, nah, it's just, the first album was Kiss The Game Good-Bye, the second one was The Kiss of Death so this one was The Last Kiss," Jada explained. "It's the closing of a trilogy. It's the last time I'm going to name one of my albums, it's the last time "Kiss" is going to be in the album titles."

While corporate America may have made the raspy rapper change the forthcoming disc's title, Jada still plans on using the original title on another format.

"We gonna switch the mixtape to 'Kiss My Ass,'" he added. "The mixtape, I think I gotta do like three or four more freestyles and then and then we gonna be good."

This is not the first time a Def Jam artist has been forced to change an original album title. Last year, Nas announced plans to release his sophomore Def Jam project as N*gger for artistic purposes but was met with backlash from social activists, the label and media channels including Fox.

In related news, Jada, Styles P and Sheek Louch will be performing this evening (October 28) at the sold-out Powerhouse concert in New Jersey. D-Block have been tagged to participate alongside headliners Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne and Ne-Yo.

The Last Kiss is currently scheduled to drop Tuesday, December 9 on Def Jam.

Rap-Up.com can exclusively confirm that Busta Rhymes’ first album on Universal Motown, Back On My B.S., has been pushed back to February 10, 2009. The album was originally slated for a December 9th release.

The pushback is the latest setback for Busta, who parted ways with Aftermath/Interscope Records earlier this summer.

The pushback is the latest setback for Busta, who parted ways with Aftermath/Interscope Records earlier this summer proof that record buyers and indeed hip-hop as a whole have lost interest in the washed-up rapper since the god-awful 'Arab Money' was unleashed on an unsuspecting public.

Nas changed the title of his album and called his mixtape "Nigger" (with Green Lantern) and Jada is doing the same. Sounds like a setup plan

lol, word

"the first album was Kiss The Game Good-Bye, the second one was The Kiss of Death so this one was The Last Kiss, it's the closing of a trilogy."

Another wack ass solo from Jada in other words... 
Jada had the potential to be mentioned as one of the greatest, but is fucking up his rep by switching back and forth from street-hop to pop-rap more than Fabolous do.

YEAH MAN. Busta is a vet, but c'mon nowadays he ain't nothing to get excited over.   IE: Prodigy....

And I hope Jada has a solid album, like some cuts with messages, lots of variation..   Mostly his albums were just HARD left (street) or HARD right (mainstream).  There was no feeling to any of his albums.

I still haven't heard that Arab Money, and I really don't want to... yet

There shouldn't be a 'yet' in that sentence. I think you misunderstand quite how awful it is. Once you've heard it, it's not like you can go back and unhear it. There's no returning to a point in your life at which you hadn't heard that song. But if you just have to hear it, it's well worth watching the Youtube video of him performing the accompanying dance in Tim Westwood's studio. It's excruciatingly embarrassing.

Bustaa is receiving his bad karma over that body guard shooting in which he refused to cooperate with the investigation.
