Flashback Friday: Brandy and Jadakiss

What a week. But there are two things we can look forward to – the weekend and our weekly trip down memory lane.

Kayla Cille Terry flashes back to childhood.

Brandy, Never Say Never (1998)

Kayla said: “Never Say Never was one of the first albums I ever bought with my own money. After Brandy’s single, “The Boy is Mine” hit the radio I knew I wanted to listen to it over and over again. Have you ever listened to “Have You Ever” over and over when your boyfriend breaks up with you? Yeah, me neither…”

Edward is all for second chances.

Jadakiss, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye (2001)


Edd said: “Anticipation was sky-high for the solo debut of LOX frontman Jadakiss, but it was received with lukewarm reviews and so-so sales. Yeah, it wasn’t the classic it was heralded to be, but it’s far from a bad album. Jadakiss is one of hip hop’s most underrated talents and there are blinding flashes of brilliance here. For instance, “We Gonna Make It” is one of my favorite songs of the past decade. Yep, I love it that much. Jada’s debut is definitely worth a second look, especially if you’re bored by today’s rap.”
