Has today's trash music softened your opinions on the commercial shyt from the past?

c'mon ja had some skill compared to the ''mumble rap'' era, got on tracks with x hov nas meth

the hate is warranted to a certain extent cause he went overboard with the balladrap but lil dude had a lil somthin' before fif came and crushed the buildings

 

[JayBaldacci]

Oh shyt you didn't just remind me of this

Noooooooo

one of the most over played songs of all time

 

[mbewane]

nah. Standards go up and down.

It's possible for what was considering 'trash' in the past to be better now because standards are lower.

True. Kind of like in the NBA Dwight was "the best" center at some point Even when it's a mount of trash, somebody is at the top. But it's still only the top of the trash.

 

[L $ C]

Kind of yeah, cause the commercial shyt from the past much better than now.

its as simple as this.....

also stuff actully sounded like it took over 1 15 minute studio session to create

Nah man, Ja had no actual real skill...like dude didn't even rhyme sometimes in the verse. he def wasn't saying anything nice lyrically, which I get, that wasn't his lane. He was pretty basic in terms of rapping ability though, he had nice beats but that's where it stops.

He never outshined anyone IMO on an guest tracks he was on either. I don't know any memeorable Ja Rule verses or lines other than "what would I be without my babay"

well compared to these dudes that i can't understand wtf they're saying when they ''rap'' i think ja had something to bring to the table, im not saying he was an emcee's MC but he had his place on the commercial side of hip hop

Blah blah blah. Ja Rule made good music.

Livin' it Up sounds like a smug victory lap with about a dozen bad chicks in tow as Moet is poured over their bodies on a yacht... in Miami... after a half a pill of E.

 

[director_of_bands]

great thread!...and today's media outlets like vevo, fuse, and jams are just encouraging more and more TRASH to be made that we gotta sift through to get to the true art.....dark times we in....


***turns to vevo and watches the "3 times in a row" video

lmfao, living it up? that wack ass song, ahahhahahahahahhahahahahahaha

 

[The Dust King]

back then the beats AND the lyrics were wack. No redemption.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

More critical.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

I'm speaking on wack shyt in general, not anything dope.
A lot of garbage back then didn't even have good production, due to the techniques they were using.
Horrible, horrible NYC mixtape keyboard beats.
That Jayson Epperson shyt on Nelly's albums with the guitars...and those shytty drums.

LOW KEY R.U.L.E. was a damn good album. As much as I wanted to stan 50, I couldn't front, R.U.L.E. had bangers, singles, and a few heavy tracks. Lloyd OWNED that album and put it over the top. His hook on "Where I'm From" mixed with Ja whining on the beat used to have a nikka on rainy days breh




We really need to be nicer to Ja, guise...

Passion off that R.U.L.E. album / . Looks like Rule benefits the most from nostalgia and hindsight. 50 fukked all our heads up. But I was a legit Rule fan up until Last Temptation, so I never thought he was wack honestly just got tired of the nikka after awhile
