Like when I first saw this I immediately thought ODB, but I don't really think Jadakiss falls into a category anywhere near that.


Cubes you trippin, bro. Who sounds like Jada? The raspiness, the laugh, the voice inflection. He's not just flowing or rhyming, because even without bars, and like Meth or ODB, his voice sounds like a unique instrument. He's one of those guys that was born to rap and blessed with a god given advantage based solely on virtue of his voice. Like jade has a "sonic sound" you can't replicate. You're probably the first person I've ever heard not feel that way. But it's all subjective. Personally, I'd give him a microscopic edge over ODB in this catagory. .



I think he has a good tone and he's swaggalicious...but I dunno, ODB is like iconic to me.

Like you could say the Gza sounds dope, are there any rappers who don't?

Did anyone say Snoop Dogg yet btw, he's gotta be right up there.

I feel you.

I guess the overall objective is to list those cartoonish, larger than life, one of a kind, type of voice. So ODB, Meth, Ghost, they all fit the bill.

And yeah, I mentioned Snoop in my original list.
