After multiple push backs, the album was given an April 7, 2009 release date.〔 The original album title was ''Kiss My Ass'', however Jada decided to change the album title: I had to change the name of my album because "Kiss My Ass" wasn’t testing well at retail; not even with the exclamations or none of that so we had to change it to ''The Last Kiss'', Jada explained during an interview with music website, BestofBothOffices.com. As ''The Last Kiss'' might lead some to believe that it could be Jadakiss' final album, he immediately stated that he has no plans to retire anytime soon and explained the meaning behind the album's title. Some people asked me if this was my last album, nah, it’s just the first album was ''Kiss tha Game Goodbye'', the second album was ''The Kiss of Death'', so this one is ''The Last Kiss''; it’s the closing of a trilogy. This is the last time the word "Kiss" is going to be in any of my album titles.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Last Kiss (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
