Jadakiss’ Son Says He Hates Biggie’s “Ready To Die” Album Right In Front Of Biggie’s Son!

What in the heck is going on?

Jadakiss‘ son Jae’Won might have committed a Hip-Hop felony by telling Biggie Smalls‘ son that he hates one of the most celebrated rap albums ever recorded. And he said it right to his face!

Now, I have heard some controversial opinions in my lifetime, but this one deserves a congressional hearing by the gods of Rap. Elders, where are y’all? Kiss, get ya boy!

During an episode of their “Silver Spoons” podcast, Jae’Won and Christopher “CJ” Wallace got into a spirited discussion about The Notorious B.I.G.’s legendary debut, Ready to Die. Jae’Won apparently had no reservations about criticizing the album that helped establish his podcast partner’s father as a rap icon.

“I hate the first album, not going to lie,” Jae’Won admitted.

Excuse me?

CJ was stunned.

“That’s wild,” CJ responded, before adding, “We might need a timeout on that one.”

Jae’Won wasn’t finished. He argued that Biggie’s second album, Life After Death, was a superior artistic achievement because it demonstrated greater maturity, stronger storytelling and more sophisticated production.

“The whole album (Ready To Die) is just very chaotic,” he said. “It’s not cohesive enough for me.”

Now, here’s where I have to intervene.

Ready to Die was released in 1994, when New York Hip-Hop was experiencing a renaissance. The album was grimy, cinematic, funny, disturbing and brutally personal. That chaos Jae’Won dislikes? Some might argue that was precisely the point.

Biggie was documenting the psychological turmoil of a young man navigating poverty, street life, ambition and impending superstardom!

And let’s remember something else. Without Ready to Die, there probably isn’t a Life After Death as we know it. Come on.

Jae’Won praised “Juicy,” “Big Poppa,” “One More Chance” and “Dreams,” suggesting those records would have been better suited for the second album.

He acknowledged Biggie’s excellence as an MC.

“The rapping on Ready to Die was dope as hell, but the songs overall were just like, I could have done without some of the songs,” he reasoned.

Listen, everybody is entitled to an opinion. Even when that opinion sounds like somebody walked into the Louvre and complained about the paintings. I think he’s too young and does not have any connection to the source material.

This is all generational! These are two sons of Hip-Hop royalty discussing the work of one of the genre’s greatest artists.

CJ defended his father’s debut, but Jae’Won stood his ground. MEH.

Let me try to be objective. Is Jae’Won hearing something the older generation refuses to acknowledge, or is he missing the historical point that made Ready to Die extraordinary? I think it is the latter.

What does Jadakiss think about all this?

Because I would pay good money to hear THAT conversation. What the…lol…or Tha Whut!
