Why do people even like Ja Rule?

Ja is hip hop. He raps and uses harmony. His first album was good, the rest suck. He has catchy singles and a few hardcore songs on his albums. I don't like him but you can still be a  ::)real::) hip hop head if you like him because I see ::)real::) hip hop fans liking 50 Cent, Loon, Fabolous, etc. who are pretty much the same type of rapper. To me they all have some good songs from time to time.  

OutSider:

I can't see how you can classify his last 2 efforts as hiphop..
But then again.. some people classify Missy Elliott as hiphop..

West Coast Veteran:
To me hip hop = rap music. I don't have this fictitious divider between the two. I just go by the original meaning of hip hop. So I'm saying Ja is rap music not R&B. I haven't listened to his too latest releases in their entirety so I don't know what they are like but I am sure he kept it balanced between pop tracks and hard tracks like he did with Rule 3:36 which was the last Ja album I have heard.

this is a very interesting post indeed ;D

i like ja's music and 50's and em's but at the same time i listen to talib kweli, sly boogy, gangstarr, brotha lynch, techn9ne etc.....

ja's first album was dope, y'all gotta admit that, he wasnt no commercial act, his single "holla" was the only commercial song on that cd, the rest of it was raw and hardcore

HOWEVER since that album ja has gone away from that style, his last album was hmmmm cheesy, too poppy but i liked a few songs on that album

for the peeps interested in why i like ja's music, well his music is very bumpable, he has released some catchy songs, "Livin it Up" has a very dope beat and some of his other songs are dope too

he aint the best rapper but his rhymes arent as simple as the big tymers, in other words he could be worse
