Nas and Jadakiss Steal the Show with Viral Karaoke Moment 🎤

Nas and Jadakiss are prominent figures in the rap industry, but they also know how to have a good time with some karaoke—and fans online are loving it.

This week, clips from their spontaneous singing session went viral across social media.

Jadakiss and Nas Reflect on Legendary Voices and Top Contender Status

The pair share a deep respect for each other’s artistry. In a 2022 interview, Nas even listed Jadakiss among his top five favorite rappers. “It took me some time; learning about music is like an education to grasp the diversity of distinctive voices,” Jada remarked. “For me, it’s all about those unique voices as I delved deeper into it. I think of Guru, may he rest in peace. Then there’s [Method Man]; his voice from the [Wu-Tang Clan] days was so deep and gritty, it just had character.” He went on to say, “Biggie had that nasally tone, sounding like he was struggling to breathe, which only amplified his flow. Tone-Loc had a remarkable voice too. Nas and his distinct nasal tone. Those are voices! So don’t hold it against me.”

Back in 2015, Jada took a moment to consider his standing in the hip-hop landscape with the launch of his fourth studio album, Top 5 Dead Or Alive. This work was his proclamation of being a Top 5 contender—one that continues to resonate with fans today. During the ongoing The Cutting Room series, he expressed, “Just having your name in the conversation is an honor.” “There’s an overwhelming number of rappers—millions, even. And more than 98.2 percent of them will never enter that discussion.” He added, “What keeps me relevant is my ability to withstand and persist. I thrive on these discussions. You must learn to embrace it and transform that energy into something productive.”
