Can everyone stop trying to rewrite history for Ja Rule

[DamienWayne]

What?!?

Last Temptation came out in 2002. That was ja’s last album on top of his game. mesmerize and thug lovin’ were on that album. Look at his sales from his debut to 2002 , u will see th sharp drop off happens after this album. The one before it was his peak.

Ja never had the streets. No one was bumping ja rule. He wasn’t being played in clubs

Pain is love debuted at number 1 on the billboard 200 and had two number one hits in the boy band era he was little Wayne in 2007 level famous

Anyone who says Ja Rule wasn't a star has got to be either young as hell, a cac, or didn't live in the US. Yall nikkas buggin.

Ja Rule caused his own demise really. He was beefing with DMX, and claiming he was 2 Pac in the flesh, not to mention he turned into a full time singer something he said he wouldn't do. Then he released that mediocre "Thug Lovin" with Bobby Brown. Had "Mesmerize" been the lead single, his first week sales would've been where the other ones were. 50 Cent gets too much credit for "ending" Ja's career.

This is the truth. 50 deserves some credit but the real things that ended his career is time and eminem. Keepin it real time is the biggest reason. His run was just about up. Dissing Em was a huge mistake though. Funny thing about it is nobody really spit any really good diss records through that entire beef.

Similar to Chingy..you out your fukkin mind


JA was HUGE ..one of the biggest rappers PERIOD..EVER

 

[itsyoung!!]

Right Thurr was bigger than any solo Ja record. Holidae Inn and One Call Away were successful singles too. Then there's the other shyts with tyrese and Dem which were doing good too.

Can I Get A was hot cuz it ended up being Jay's song. Had nothing to do with Ja being on it.

Ja never "destroyed" anybody in a beef, stop it.

You typed this bull shyt out and hit submit

This entire thread

Ja Rule has sold over 14 million records overall, along with worldwide sales. i'm guessing some of these people saying he wasn't shyt must've not been born around the time he was everywhere.

Gold & Platinum - RIAA

ja rule was way bigger than chingy and when he first came out he really was not seen as a soft sing type rapper either.
It was Jayz DMX Ja rule running new york from like 98- 2002. Than 50 came out and killed ja rule

Ja was trash. HOWEVER, I will say this...Livin’ It Up will always be a better song than Curtis’ best song.

 

[smokeurobinson]

The naysayers in this thread mean nothing compared to 50 Cent who included Ja Rules impact on hip hop in his own bio movie Get Rich Or Die Trying. If Ja Rule wasn't shyt why would 50 make him out to be such a huge character in his own movie? That scene were 50 was focused on Ja Rule ruling the charts while he was recovering from just getting shot is 50 telling it all.

 

[King Kai]

He can keep everything else tho

 

[BK The Great]

Ja was doing records with LL Cool J, Method Man, Nas, and people comparing him to Chingy man this entire thread is a joke

 

[Tom Foolery]

C'mon breh... shyt would've been trash if it was a straight Ja record.

Ja litterally gave Jay his biggest hit record at that point...............And he murdered Jay on the track as well.

It's over breh. Give up

Nobody was playing Ja...those records just sold themselves :loldenzel2:

 

[Cladyclad]

Op is 100%

Yes Ja had hits. But he was never respected like that at all. Def jam tried to push him the same as hov & X. shyt didn’t work. But to rule credit he found that ballad lane. He never had that huge b side type record. He lived of pop hits
