Throwback Thursday: Jadakiss feat. Anthony Hamilton - "Why"


Everyone has a political and opinionated side where they can protest what and how they feel, Jadakiss being one of those people and one Hip Hop artist that has always done it very well. After hearing Jads's "Why" on the radio the other day I realized why I liked the song then and still like it now, and that is because I really love it when an artist can spit lyrics that have punch to them. With his 2004 hit "Why" Jada enlists Anthony Hamilton for the feature and production from Havoc of Mobb Deep, as he spits his incredible word play and hard hitting lyrics that he is known for. The song entailed plenty of controversy and rightfully so as Jada brought validity to the statements in the song known as "Why". For it was when he said "Why do niggas push pounds of powder?/Why did Bush knock down the towers?" that brought him a tremendous amount of heat for the comment, causing edited versions of the song to sensor "Bush" out of the song. I guess being truthful brings controversy to the light of situations and vice versa.
