Title: MTV, BET's No. 1 for 2001 is Ja Rule
Post by: Nosak on January 03, 2002, 11:08:07 AM
Code: [Select]
Ja Rule and Jennifer Lopez' collaboration on the "I'm Real" remix was named the top video of 2001 by MTV. "50 to 1," MTV's year-end countdown show that included a high-profile hosting gig for Ludacris, selected the video over pop TRL staples like Britney Spears and N Sync. Eve's pairing with No Doubt's Gwen Stefani on "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" earned high points from MTV as well, landing in the No. 3 spot. As if being picked No. 1 wasn't enough MTV exposure for Ja Rule and Lopez, the network will air "For the Troops: An MTV/USO Special" Tuesday at 2 and 8 p.m. ET. The 90-minute special features performances by Ja, Lopez and Kid Rock that were taped in early December at Germany's Ramstein Air Force Base. A Ja Rule video also was BET's choice as the best of 2001 on their countdown, "Notarized 5," with "Put In On Me" featuring Lil' Mo and Vita claiming the top spot and "I'm Real" coming in at No. 8. Ja and Lopez will attempt to defend their MTV title with the recently completed remix of her current hit, "Ain't It Funny."

It used to matter in hip-hop whether you had sold out or not.  Now you can be as pop as you wanna be and it don't matter.  This would've never flown pre-death of 2pac

what the hell does the death of tupac have to do with the commercialization of hip-hop?  i guess before he died you had to act like a gangsta to sell records... now you just have to get some club beats and catchy hooks.  other than that i fail to see the relation... the selection of Ja Rule doesn't suprise me... he was also Vibe's artist of the year... what would anyone expect from the commercial industry that is the media.

I think that Infinite59 meant that Tupac woulda called out JA RULE and made him look stupid and he wouldnt be as big as he is..

Quit spending your time and energy on hating Ja Rule.  That nigga is gettin his hustle on.  He is making a lot of bread right now so congratulate the nigga.  You dont have to like his music (I dont), but give a nigga his props.

Some of you talking about hes a sell out.  What the fuck you think the point is in the music industry?  To make money.  Not every nigga is out to change how you think.  Especially rappers of all people.  Maybe a nigga just trying to make sure he dont miss no meals and his kids always going to be taken care of.  If you doing music as a professional, you cant sell out.  But then again only a nigga actually involved in the industry is going to understand that and from what Ive seen, that cancels all you out.

So Ja Rule... I dont bump your shit and you aint the type of nigga I roll with but congratulations on your success homie.
