How many chances are Jadakiss and Fabolous going to get?

Get out my way, pimpin'.
I find that incredibly difficult to believe. Do you have a link?
Jadakiss hasn't had a hit in forever. Fab always has that one song for the birds that he tours on. I don't say any of this to disparage Jadakiss who I think is talented (though I've lost interest) but dude would be better off independent.

jadakiss had a decent hit with the song with jazmine reid (i think that's it?), the loaded gun joint, and the swizz track that was like: HE'S PHONY, HE'S FAKE, THAT'S THE TYPE OF PEOPLE I HATE. (which he put OJ DA JUICEMAN ON THE REMIX..smg) I believe that he sold more than loso's way. though that album had everywhere we go or whatever which was everywhere...hmm
Two ways to look at it.
One one end... hell no, they ain't gonna drop a classic. If they couldn't do it when it counted, why/how would they do it now? Jada (as somebody said earlier) has been spittin' the same 16 for years. And Fab? He's managed to build a career off of droppin' good singles and a few decent album tracks every time... if they like it, he probably loves it. Doin' anything else at this point would be too much like work for either of them.
And on the other hand, not sure much comes with dropping a classic album nowadays. That's subjective anyway, and we're in an era where very rarely do people even listen to the whole albums anymore. Even if Fab or Jada (by some stroke of inspiration) put together some conceptual masterpiece, it wouldn't be appreciated anyway. People just want the tracks they want, then the rest get dumped.

these guys have been in the game 10+ years and still no classic or near classic album and yet delusional New York fans continue to try and convince the HIP-HOP community that they are on the brink of delivering
I don't believe it anymore
Jada is on his last leg, if Top 5 Dead or Alive does not meet expectations then
Jadakiss is looking like the Chris Webber of the rap game.
As far as Fabolous ...I think he's done. 12 years since his debut and he has no career defining piece of work, no memorial songs, nothing that has made an impact
Punchline rappers never reach the top of the rap food chain... I think they did well for what they are...

No idea where each album stands as of right now. But Kiss did 130k his 1st week compared to Fab's 99k in his 1st week
Fabolous Takes Loso
Jadakiss Debuts At No. 3, Sells Over 134K In First Week | XXL
He actually debut on The Professional by DJ Clue in 98 which is 14 years ago.
Edit: his debut album was 11 years ago... Sad
