Jada even houses a song, "You Can See," with Puffy (be it you call him, Puff, Diddy or Sean John) on a backbeat provided by Swizz Beatz & Avenue Beatz. That, by itself, is a very tough feat to attempt by anyone (longstay, newb, hood or mainstream rapper). It keeps the voice of the streets vibe flowing while also showing that there is more than meets the eye of the beholder. This album features a combination of mainstream & not-overly-well-known artistry-providing individuals. He still enjoys the brighter side of life, while thoroughly understanding that he remains in holding residence with the edgier territory. This album displays the panache that has become a staple in the stylings of Jada, yet doesn't try to hide behind that attribute. This album easily showcases the witty lyricism that the commercial market attempted to become familiar with from him, while housing the confidence that which someone whom made it out of the "hood" (yet still willing to help it & speak for it) provides. Yet, this album strongly held it's stance firmly between being declared "commercial" and residing on the tougher side of the road where those from the "urban" environments known as "hoods" dwell. Though, neither were any of his other albums. No, the album was not a strong seller in the commercial aspect as Jadakiss's first album.

The British songstress’ latest album 25 broke several records by pushing 3.48 million equivalent album units (3.38 million pure album sales) in its initial week. However, nothing could stop Adele from hitting #1 this week.
2001’s Kiss Tha Game Goodbye reached #5 with 204,000 albums sold first week, 2004’s Kiss of Death reached #1 with 246,000 albums sold first week, and 2009’s The Last Kiss reached #3 with 134,000 albums sold the first week. Top 5 Dead Or Alive pushed 66,000 equivalent album units (60,000 pure album sales). The album landed at #4 on the Billboard 200, giving The Lox member his fourth Top 5 placement on the album chart. (AllHipHop News) Even a six-year break did not stop Jadakiss’ fan base from supporting his new LP Top 5 Dead or Alive.
