LoL @ SGV starting useless discussion (knowing he's wrong) just to get people pissed.. There's a difference between being popular and making pop-music.Eminem, Nelly & 50 Cent all makes popular music, but Nelly is the only that actually makes pop-music.End of story.
In my mind there is a different in being pop and making commercial music. Eminem is pop but (for the most part) does not make commercial music.I find it funny how popularity changes some people's opinions of thier music. Someone like DJ Quik makes more commercial music than Eminem or 50 Cent. "Hand In Hand" or "Pitch In On A Party" are more commercial than "Without Me" or "In Da Club" and if those two songs blew up people would start talking shit about Quik and putting him in the "pop-music" category. I don't think I worded it well.
more commercial than "without me?" lmao...thats ridiculous...
not a big nelly fan but some of his tracks are really good...for some reason air force ones is one of my fav tracks of the year....

Ashanti kinda is Ja's standart feature.. that's not HipHopja doesnt sing notes homie...he just softens his voice...and ashanti is on jas label....shes r & b...nate dogg isnt hip hop...and hes on 50's song...so whats the difference?...ur reachin...ur reachin a lot...hip hop and r & b have always had a good relationship....theyve always collabed...that doesnt take away from ur credability as a hip hop artist...
Ja does sing without a doubt.. I know he sometimes just softens his voice as u call it but he sings too.. that track he did with R. Kelly was just a RnB song with 2 RnB singers.. one of em having Ja's horrible singing voiceNate is something different he got a unique style and his hooks are hiphop hooks.. Danny Boy is an example for a typical RnB cat who jut had collabos with rappers.. Nate on the other hand ain't hiphop on solo shit cuz that's 100% singin but on hooks he is..I ain't gotta tell u the difference, u know it.. Ashanti solo is pop Nate solo isn't, Ashanti hooks are RnB Nate hooks are HipHopanyway I never said I mind rappers singin hooks but Ja either sings verses or 75% of his tracks consists of the hook.. that's RnB
well said...my thoughts exactly...i posted this on http://tqfans.proboards6.com awhile back...its my thoughts on ja rule and why ppl diss on him...this is what i said: ok we've had plent of topics with ppl dissing ja rule because he "sings his raps"...well heres my thoughts and i want everybody to reply to this sh!t because i have some points that i think you guys will be able to agree with...first off i can see why ppl diss ja for always having the R&B bitches on hooks...ashanti got old, christina milian got old, lil mo got old...that i can understand and i think he needs to quit with that sh!t...but as far as him "singing"...why the fuŠk does everyone pick on him for it? if your gonna pick on a rapper for singing instead of rapping then do the same for every single bone thug and mo thug! true bone has better skills...but it aint like ja is the first to do it. personally i like his style and i would hate it if he went back to the "holla holla" style...i loved holla holla but the rest of that album was straight bullsh!t! there were like 4 good tracks...but seriously...why pick on ja for singing when bone did it too...this is one of the reasons i think 50 cent is a fag for getting at ja for singing...everybody here has heard the "get rich or die trying" cd...there are about 5-10 songs where 50 sings the fuŠkin hook! why is he any better than ja then! so heres my final thought...if you wanna diss on ja...diss on him for havin the R&B bitches on his hooks all the time. but the singing thing really is nothing to get on him for.
