The release date however isn't the only thing changing. Jada has also changed the name of the album from "Kiss My Ass" to "The Last Kiss."
According to Jada, the title received negative feedback from retailers causing him to bow to industry pressure and rename the album.
"I had to change the name of my album. Kiss My Ass wasn't testing well at retail. Not even with the exclamations or none of that. So we had to switch it to The Last Kiss."
Jada also reassures his fans that this is not his last album, but it is the end to the "kiss" trilogy.
In other news…
"Some people asked me is it my last album. Nah, it's just ... the first album was Kiss The Game Goodbye, the second one was The Kiss of Death, so this one was The Last Kiss. It's the closing of a trilogy."
"It's the last time I'm going to name one of my albums, it's the last time 'Kiss' is going to be in the album titles. This is why this is The Last Kiss."
The Last Kiss will be hitting stores on December 9th. In the meantime, fans of Jada can keep a look out for his next mixtape dropping sometime next month.

He should've forseen this, they've been doing this for years- not to mention recently Nas's problem, and changing his title to "Untitled".. next thing you know Busta's' "Back on My BS" Will be just "Busta's Back" or some dumb mess..
thats some bullshit...just cause it says 'ass'?
i mean come on, i could see nas' album title but thats ridiculous
i better not see any other cds or movies in the store with 'ass' on it if jada cant name his album that
'the last kiss'...shit dont even sound right
just leave it untitled and put 'kiss my ass' on the inside or something
Cosign Psyber...... The powers that be are out to censor anything to do with hip hop. The cd still is gonna be fire though, cuz 'kiss got some bangers.
P.S. Busta might as well save himself the trouble and change hhis title before they make a big deal outta his too.
man thats sum bullshit! i guess the 2009 trend gone be naming ya album "untitled" or jus changin it period kiss ma ass was coo! o well the album gne be hot regardless the name so it aint dat bigga deal
i dunno, jadas dope and the albums gonna be sick, but i think both titles are a little weak if you ask me.
Politics!!!
The thing about Busta's is we all know it is Back On My Bullshit, but the cover is gonna say B.O.M.B., so I don't think he will have to change his. I didn't think Jada should have had to do it. If you are offended by Jada naming his album Kiss My Ass, than you are the type of person that is not gonna like the content on the album anyway. So I couldn't see it slowing up sales, but oh well. I have a question for ya'll. Why does Jay sign some dudes to Roc A Fella, and others to Roc Nation? Why is he running 2 labels? I would think that would cause a conflict of interest.

thats a gay ass name for a cd sound like a homo love cd
J.R. writer can name an album "Politics & Bullshit" but Jadakiss can't name his album "Kiss My Ass"??? WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT!!!
Well, IRRESPECTIVE OF WOT JADA'S ALBUM GONNA BE CALLED, IT'S STILL GONNA BE FIRE!!!!!!!
Seems like REAL HIP/HOP is gaining momentum what with all the superb material to look forward to such as Detox and Eminems new shit in 09.
Keep ya heads up my true hip/hop brethren, THE REAL MC'S ARE ON THEIR WAY!!!
p.s Jadakiss - one of best lyricists in hip/hop history!!!
all i know iz that this cd gona be sick ya diggggg
you damn right its gonna be sick.
hey its all good, at least hes smart. he knows a trilogy is all u need and then u move on from there. no carter 4 or nothing like some dumb ass rappers
i agree wit dude up there tho, dont matter the name, this album will be hot. those other 2 albums are so ill i cant wait for this one to drop.
ima cop it
ima download it!!!
A while ago ... where the fuck have u been
WELL ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
What are ya'll talkin about? He didn't get sensored. Nobody told him that he can't call the album 'kiss my ass'. He said they changed the name cause it didn't look like it was gonna do good on the market. HE decided to submit to the pressure to change it. the proverbial THEM didn't MAKE him do it. If he would've kept the name & the album wouldn't have sold well, we'd have been on here saying that THEY didn't push his album as good as they should have... Lol.
I actually think that the proverbial "them" did make him do it....
"the title received negative feedback from retailers causing him to bow to industry pressure and rename the album..."
remember last month...NAS...NI**ER??? Or UNTITLED, as it was later renamed...
BUT ANYWAY, Walmart, FYE, and the rest of the Retail outlets can KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If he would've kept the name & the album wouldn't have sold well"
I think if Nas' album was named NI**ER it would have sold alot more that what it actually did, JUST AS KISS MY ASS would have....
I mean just seeing an album with KISS MY ASS on the cover would make me want to pick it up....
The hardest shit in the hip hop industry gets the most buzz....
Fuck the police??
Niggas with Attitude??
Cop killer?
KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you listen to rap music??
I think you need to lay off that LOLLIPOP shit and get back to that raw and uncut street shit...
Wouldn't have sold well?? you must be crazy....lol
kiss my ass isnt a good name for an album. is it me or does this nigga put the word kiss on all his album. anyway he sick and he my nigga. cant wait to hear it.
bro, kiss my ass? like i see where youre comin from skeaz but i dont think there's anything "hard" about that title. i know 7 year olds who say kiss my ass dude.
lol yea dude...you kinda right (caps) but you know what I mean...
F#ck dat! Styles P is betta den all dem D-Block characters!
yea ok...lol
F#ck dat! Styles P is betta den all dem D-Block characters!
I think the last kiss is a good name,jada is fire,so i just hope there will be some kanye beats and jz,nas collabos.
Fuckin corporate America makes me sick man....
Always takin shots at hip-hop
I bet if you go to Best Buy right now you would have no problem
finding a DVD with the title ass on the cover....(Jackass is one I can
think of right off the top...)
hell yea, They don't even write JACKA** or some shit like that...They Write JACKASS on the cover and they got that bitch all over BestBuy, Blockbuster and everywhere else....

Halfway House
Amalgam Digital
Can't wait to hear this shit
Album still gon be dope tho.
i bet you this shit don't drop til 2000 never. just like all the other dudes that say they got album's coming and all you ever hear is how it got pushed back again. maino, saigon, em, dre, red cafe, peedi crakk,
the last kiss is probably a far more commercially popular name and will help sell units, the album will be hot though.
J-A-D-A top five dead or alive and thats just off one LP
i already knew he was going to change the title U cant name a album for nothing these days anymore albums back in the ninties had girls asses in the cover now they cant even have that anymore sucks
To betalyfe so if a cd had "Ass"ination,"Ass"ociation you would boycott it you would want it changed lol it was not accpeted because Big reatilrs like Wal-Mart,Target,+ etc.to thier children and yes it was perdictable tht he would have to changed it.
I dont care what the albums called dec 9th I coppin like two of them shits word.
Dis is some dumb shit to argue about
Fuck da Title
Man, the labels always fuckin with the originality of everything.
Down with the man....;)
Imma still buy it though..
Either wit da name or wit out, da album gon be sweet, gotta get it...Learn it.
ReDef.
This could be a pretty good album. I'll probably check it out.
ome bullshit They say worst shit on daytime T.V.
fuck tha retail first it was nas nigger now kiss kiss my ass wats next before i self destruct turn 2 this is 50 ha ha....
whatever the title this shit gonna be HOT..can't wait 2009 looking really good for the rap game
they waited til close to his release date to tell him to change the name meaning he has to push the release date back to change the album cover. corporates n labels man on that bullshit. BUT it will still be bangin
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Ayt nigga changed his album title...Yal niggaz gotta think about how stupid the previous title waz...Kis my ass??...Cmon ppl...As a persn u kis sumthng dat u luv and if u thnk abt it itz lyk homeboi be saying fall in love with his ass or kiss his crap...Niggaz need to be controversial without stupid titles...But jada be a dope mc tho,and the only one on d-block to go platinum...Wordup...D'block stand up
man the new title is hella weak...and it makes no sense you can have a dvd thats titled jackass but caant have a cd titled kiss my ass wtf? i mean what shit put a sticker over the ass in the title and put it in stores or sumthin the censorship today is ridiculous but a Jada cd has been due out for a long time now so fuck the title as long as it doesnt get pushed back im good!!!
YEA, HE GO HARD
They mad late. Plus i would have atleast got 5 and 1/2 lambos outa vince mcmahon..He pullin in that legal and corparate paper
why you so concerned bout the title when your listening to the music, you ain't buying the album to look at the title all day are you lol.
whatever Kiss, I'll probably cop it anyway
i knew he would have to change ti just like nas the only person with the power to getaway with any name they like on there album is hov
i also think this is going to be a real hiphop fan album so i'll cop it
Go Cop Dat The Real Shit Is Coming Back! All that foogazy shit need to keep it moving cuz I cant go another year with these non rappin niggaz!
Caps what mr skeazo is tryna say is that controversy fuels hip hops energy
Jada has flows, so Im looking to buy regardless of tha title. If tha title of a single and/or album determine rappers' skill level, I feel sorry for rap and its fans.
