A small debate about Jadakiss' original title for "Consignment" -- "Top 5 Dead Or Alive". Now, we do love Jada and he's definitely up there for top rappers in the world right now, but we think he's more deserving of "Top 50 Dead Or Alive". Nonetheless, Jada is still an incredible rapper and we wouldn't wanna take anything away from him. What do you think??
