After his new street record, Who Run This, received an underwhelming response from our DJBooth community, rapper Jadakiss decided he was done playing around. Alongside label mate and R&B man of the hour Ne-Yo, as well as Kanye West collaborator Eric Hudson (see Flashing Lights), J-to-the-mwah has released his first official single as a Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam artist. By My Side, which shouldn’t be confused with his previously-released banger By Your Side, is an attempt by Kiss to appeal to his female-oriented, radio-requesting audience. Though longtime LOX and D-Block followers might be disappointed with the selection, a hardcore New York street image doesn’t equate to mainstream commercial success. Jadakiss will release his third solo album, Kiss My Ass, later this year; will you be by his side?
SEEMS LIKE NEYO IS THE GO TO MAN FOR THESE RAPPER/RNB COLLABOS,I THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS SINGLE FROM JADA NEYO GIVES IT THAT MAINSTREAM APPEAL BUT JADA STILL BRINGS THAT HOOD FEEL TO IT WITH HIS LYRICS YEAH I CAN BUMP THIS BY MY SIDE OR IN MY RIDE!!
i like the groove to this one. Head nod track fasho. I don't dance much, but this may get me off the wall too. This is a good look 4 Jada. Ne-Yo is a genius.
i am a huge jadakiss fan, as i said on his song with jay z.
but like that song, this is average, its not a 4 or 5, its very average, COME ON JADA ...Songs with neyo n jay z shud be betta..!!!!!
people are knockin on jada now jus cuz hes not comin as hard as we're used to. it doesnt mean hes all done. its still a serious song, im deff feelin it
dude this is a TERRIBLY good song. and for once its not cuz of ne-yo. its the beat. they got good chemistry on the track. i cannot get enough of the beat its got the funky old school feel. kinda.
This is a different sound for Jadakiss and I'm feelin' it. The beat is really good and Ne-Yo add a nice R&B vibe to it. Jada is one of the best rappers around. Don't sleep.
nuth-n new eva eva getz played on ma damn radio station so yall r make-n me jealous by say-n songz will get played on urz. ...anyway, i only like ma babe ne-yo on thiz track...jada didnt do it 4 me.
