Ja Rule Breakfast Club Interview

[JayGatsby]

great interview......

cant lie

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Ja talking about that adult contemporary rap station i've been preaching about.

 

[jilla82]

You sound like somebody who wasn't around during that period.

During that era.... Eminem, Jay Z, Nelly, and DMX (maybe a couple of others, maybe Ludacris, I can't remember his time frame) were the only rappers competing with Ja from an overall popularity and sales perspective.

bruh...im 32.
Im saying albums were still selling in those days.
I dont care about Ja's numbers...people were buying for those singles. Nobody was trying to hear Ja Rule spit...nobody.

He had big singles that were geared towards women...it had nothing to do w/ his impact in hip hop.
DMX & Jay had impacts in hip hop...Ja Rule had that lane for women.

ja and them fukking duck tales. A bytch called you? Really? man erryone in the hood know 50 a g, went to war with supreme over ja p*ssy ass. Only reason ja ever had heart was cause he was paying for supreme team "protection"


5:50 for how that shyt really went down in the hit factory.


Otherwise, from what I've gathered, 50 did show up to that meeting. preme wanted him to stop dissing ja cause he was eating off the inc, he said yes in his face then kept dissing ja.

which led to the attempts on his life. 50 didn't like ja cause he ain't real, rapping about murders and shyt and he ain't bout that life. Preme liked 50 but it's much harder to extort a real nikka than some p*ssy like ja.

dude went from lame to lamer

and then u got dudes in here wondering how and why people stopped fukking with him. its amazing how after all these years son want to change his story and how he story is soooo different from everybody elses

great interview......

cant lie

ja is hilarious.

 

[Doomsday]

Actually 50 does allude that he didn't show up to the meeting that Ja is talking about.

But what I really want to say is, for the people that say Ja wasn't living what he was rapping about, can you back this up with evidence? Meaning, have you listened to any of his albums? Serious question, because it sounds like people are talking hype just because they don't like Ja but neveractually listened to his music to have a legitimate assessment. I personally never got that impression, especially not from his singles (including the joints he laced for other people). In that case why would he go the radio lane the majority of his career? No one seems to be able to answer this question yet keep claiming that Ja wanted everyone to see him as a super thug. It doesn't make sense to me.

IMO, 50 and Ja were peers and musical rivals. Ja blew first, and that rubbed 50 the wrong way. That's pretty much what it comes down to. I do know that from a popularity standpoint, 50 will always come out on top, because he has white America behind him (thanks in large part to Em).

back it up with evidence? nikka ask anybody from ja hood about him. all u hear is crickets. post a person to back up him up

 

[MouseTeeth]

I like Ja Rule and I like 50. Why is it so hard for people to admit that Ja had hits? I mean, he had real HITS, brehs. I know that this is Bizarro World but there is no way that every last one of you guys just sat around and listened to a bunch of crappy 25 minute New York freestyles over boring boom bap beats around that time, right? There is no way that you're over here nodding your heads to Future and Migos in 2014 yet have the nerve to say that Murder Inc. made bad music, right?

Ja rule was the biggest thing on the radio circa 2001-2002 ...he was literally captain save a record....thats what makes the 50 cent thing so damaging because 50 ended ja rule and essentially stole his spot by doing exactly what ja was doin w the singin and all that shyt....ja rule was repackaged as 50 cent more or less....and then everybody wants to act like they hated ja from the jump lol the rap game is so fickle.....the thing is, ja coulda came back if he really tried but he LET that shyt happen to him tbh....cuz when Clap Back and New York dropped he kinda had some momentum but he didn't keep pushin

 

[Calmye]

Wow this is from Ja's book? Unreal

50 really did get shot over that bullshyt

that shyt sound like straight lies

That's probably true, heck I don't remember what the fukk I was doing 10 years ago let alone these industry nikkas. Anyways, it does seem like he trying to act super thug in this book, but hten again, who gonna make themself look weak in their own book. He does seem to be trying too hard though like when he said I got a hundred gun a hundred clips nikka, I'm from new york and he called his company murder inc...couldn't pull shyt like that back in the day unless you were official, now everything goes though.

 

[Doomsday]

back it up with evidence? nikka ask anybody from ja hood about him. all u hear is crickets. post a person to back up him up

Crickets when it comes to what?

That's my point. Anyone that claims Ja Rule is fake, quote me a lyric of his from his catalog that gave you the impression that he was trying to be something that he wasn't. If you've never listened to Ja's music, then everything you're saying is hot air. Most of Ja Rule's career is him making radio songs, and he's proud of those accomplishments. Why go that route if you wanted everyone to see you as a street super goon? Still waiting on an answer. This is just like when 50 accused Sha Money XL of being a wannabe on IG...how? Sha never portrayed himself that way, so what are you saying exactly? I don't understand hip hop fans obsession with "normalizing" rappers and people, even if they never gave off that portrayal.

 

[Archimedes]

he called his company murder inc and had hooks saying "I got a hundred gun a hundred clips nikka" and then he was singing duets.

nikkas weren't having that in mid 2000s.

so you never heard ja first album? ja changed his style cause it was too similar to dmx and he was coming out after him. "I got a 100 guns, 100 clips Im from new york" idk what you talking about bruh lol
