Where's The Beef? Ja Rule; 50 Cent and "The Cookout"
Semir:
The summer's almost over but Queen Latifah is inviting you to "The Cook Out." Starring Danny Glover, Meagan Goode, Flavor Unit affiliate Storm P and Ja Rule, the family-friendly flick opens September 3.
"This is a different role for me," explains Ja about playing thug Bling Bling. "I've been playing serious characters and this is someone with a light side to him."
Ja's next album, R.U.L.E. drops November 9 and features R. Kelly, Mary, Ashanti, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Trick Daddy, Scarface and more.
As for his feud with 50, "It's over. It's a feud that's been going on for the last year and a half. He has a lot of other feuds that he needs to address. I'm always here, in the wing doing what I do. And I hope he continues to do what he does cause it's a crazy business. And I think he's going to see that in a year or so.
"I'm in a comfortable zone. Cause now I'm the underdog. As funny as that may seem after all the success I've had, now I'm the underdog and people are rooting for me. It's a beautiful thing. And it's funny how karma's a motherf***er. Things you do come back to bite you in the a** sometimes. When you shell out bad energy sometimes you get it back. Not to say that I've shelled out bad energy in the past. I've always been a good person. I've had some bad energy brought on me over the last year and a half. But like I said, when you give it out it comes back. And everybody's on his a** right now, Shyne, Nas ... I got jumped last year. Everybody was on my ass. Now go get on his ass.
"I still do what I do. I never lost the talent. I make beautiful records. Artists still call me and say, ‘Yo, Ja I need a hit.' As long as you can put out that kind of output or input in this music industry, you are a well-received and well-respected artist. I think I'm a very well respected artist, it's just how people receive me.
"I'm all heart. Nothing deters me, nothing stops me. F**k you, I'll be there. I'll see you there. And you got to be that way in this business."
Rule runs a film company, Focus Vision which has already completed "Back In The Day" with Ving Rhames.

Nah, there's still plenty of people rooting for him, just not nearly as much after 50 Cent came into the picture. Looks like Ja has smartened up a little bit. He should've ignored the whole beef to begin with because he definitely came on the losing end of that battle. Look at Diddy for example. The guy ignores any hate that's thrown his way and in the end he comes out on top everytime. Ja should've just kept making those R&B/rap hybrids that he was making.
