Ja's diss records came too late in the game. Could you honestly take him seriously after he did that Mezmerize joint? What the fuck was that shit? Thats where Ja lost his credibility to me. To me, he lost as soon as he did that song/video. I don't care how "gangsta" he came after that, i looked at him in a different light from there on out. At that time, 50 had a lot more cred than Ja had, so to hear him go against Ja - that was just the nail in the coffin.The funniest part is that 50 has turned into that wack version of Ja, and his career is gonna burn out soon. He's now scrambling to make "street" records, and sign these "gangsta" acts to try and regain his cred, but i think its too late.
ive said it before and ill say it again - ja ruined his own career with "Mesmerize". when he put out that track, even his female fans got sick of him. its called oversaturation. every single day from 99-03 ALL we heard was ja singing. 50 just came out and stated the obvious. ja's singing and putting out soft music. i put my support behind 50 cuz he said "im about to end all this bubble gum shiet". he fooled me like he fooled millions of others, cuz right after "In Da Club" he came out singing on "21 Questions"
im proud of ja for sayin that. its gay as fuck how eminem can diss any dead celebrity, make fun of columbine and whatever else but then when someone talks about his daughter he goes on tv with those reading glasses on and tries to talk all mature.btw: i HATED ja rule unti "Loose Change" dropped. i didnt know he could spit like that cuz all i had heard from him was shiet like "Between Me & U" and "Put it On Me"

Ja records "Mesmerize" and loses all cred? Makes no sense. See what I mean about the double standards?
Uh, if you read what i wrote, i said "At that time, 50 had a lot more cred than Ja" - not Em. Whether or not your opinion is that Ja came nicer than everybody else in that beef, the fact remains that Ja's career has not been the same since. 50 / Em careers have been doing just fine (both are now slipping as well, but thats from there own doing, not Ja's).I own Venni Vitti Vicci (the only Ja album i have). When he originated he def had a "gangsta" image, and he went on to get millions by selling out. He no doubt cashed in when he was doing Mesmerize type joints, but he alienated his core fan base that bumped VVV. You say cats got double standards for Em, but i think you're wrong. Em dropped "Real Slim Shady". Were you surprised and appalled that he would do that type of joint at that time? No, that is what was expected. It was in the same vein as "My Name Is", "Role Model", and "Guilty Conscience". Those fans that purchased his major label debut were not let down by the MMLP. So no, there is no double standard - you're dealing with apples and oranges here.

So, see where I'm going with the double standards? You say Em's was expected, by the time 50 started dissing Ja, he had already made his name by making joints like "Mesmerize." That's what I'm talking about with the double standards. You say one thing about Em, but flip it about another artist.Niyasin: You can read above as well. Everyone always has an excuse for Eminem making garbage tracks, as long as he was their favorite. Now that he's losing popularity, people are beginning to see the trash he does and has put out.
