LOL slap ja rule all u want, he the definition of whack
This is Ja Rule we are talking about.... He could even sound like Pac and I still wouldn't feel it. He can do a cover to "Pain" and I still wouldn't feel it... Because you got to understand, that more than just a rapper, Pac was a great human being. There are many pathways to the heart. What we hear, see, eat, think, feel, etc., all of this effects our subconscious flex... and whatever we take in is going to manifest itself one way or another. So to recap, why I don't like Ja Rule,1. His music is wack2. Even if his music sounded good I still wouldn't listen to him because the soul and heart is lacking
he was a much better artist then 50 cents at least ja rule can make hits unlike 50and he sold way more albums then 50 people wanted change and 50 fluke was that change instead all we got in return was garbage dre should have kept those beats for detoxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja_Rule_discographyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_discography
Ja had a very hot run for a couple years but 50 had something that no other artist had since. He was the total package of everything that a new artist needed to be. He had the buzz of being Dr. Dre's new artist. The buzz of being the one to come up with Eminem so the white kids were hip to him. He had the story about being shot nine times and surviving that the media loved. He was a great interview. He had a strong buzz single with "Wanksta" and a monster hit with "In Da Club". He had taken over the mixtape circuit and made mixtapes into a way to generate interest like nobody had ever seen. Combine that with the idea that Ja Rule was already too heavy in the rotation. People didn't need 50 to tell them that they were tired of him but it definitely helped 50 get there.
this is all true....lightning in a bottle type shit (i.e. 2pac going to death row, DMX blowing up in 98, eminem and dre catching eachother at the perfect time etc.)
but i always thought in da club was a "good" song and that's it.
i still remember 50 cent from when How To Rob dropped because the Umaine radio station had a hip hop show and they'd play the dopest stuff and How to rob was a huge underground banger. didn't blow up but it pissed off a lot of rappers who were named on it which got him the attention he needed (before being shot)
i got a 99 source mag and you'd think Eminem was the biggest star on earth already before MMLP even existed
