It’s 2024, now looking back I feel like Ja Rule was and still is a better artist than 50 Cent

[straightcash]

Did Ja Rule ever put artists on in the late-2000s and thereafter? I don't think so. I think that's where he fukked up for real.

He could have done what 50 Cent didn't do. That's why Fif couldn't beat Rick Ross.

Had to dap OP just for including "mesmerize" in OP with all the other songs



I love mesmerize, I was so surprised to find out years later the song was hated by a lot of people just because of the music video it had

Ja Rule couldn't put artists on in the late 2000s.... It would have been like how 50 tried to put on Kidd Kidd, 50 was so ice cold that not even 50's cosign could get Kidd Kidd to pop

Ja could have. The DVD era and Mixtape era gave a lot of rappers that could have been signed, but the dusty rappers at the top didn't care enough.

“Gerald Carter Was The Best President”

OP’s next thread

Ja Rule only got like 3 good songs, so no.

 

[Reptile]

Living It Up is better than a LOT of 50 Cent songs though, even his best ones. Thats a really good song.

Nah…

Irv kinda handled that.

It’s criminal why we didn’t get a Black Child album.


His voice was more menacing than Cadillac Tah

U still see folks dancing to that song in every throwback mix

 

[Michael's Black Son]

No

 

[Mac Ten]

What helped 50 was the access to Dre, Shady, and Interscope…


He took Ja’s lane and kicked him out of it.


Murder Inc was the Bad Boy version of Ruff Ryders and that’s why we can’t take em seriously.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

But I’d listen to Ghetto Quran, Many Men, Hate it or Love It, What Up Gangsta, Hustlers Ambition, Outta Control Remix, I Get Money, Wanksta, In Da Club, PatIently Waiting,How To Rob etc over any Ja song

Well obviously, but we were specifically talking about 50’s songs aimed at the ladies compared to Ja’s. Nearly all of 50’s were the trash derivative versions of Ja’s.

 

[Street Knowledge]

They was basically hot for a similar amount of time 5-6 years

Struggle singing will never age well, and that goes for both 50 & Ja.
