Ja Rule Claims 50 Cent Copied His Style After Saying It Was Wack

[Shadow]

Was saying this back in the day. It was always corny how folks flipped on Ja Rule and was just bumping his music earlier in the year. Had me looking like in real time.

Anyway

Ghetto Quran was recorded in 1999

The signature pop-rap “kinda singing” hook style by Ja Rule didn’t take over until Rule 3:36 (2000)

Yeah if you listen to Power of the Dollar he was already doing all the shyt he did later, just without the slur in his voice.

It's crazy how Ja Rules music ended arguably having more staying power/aging better.

I don’t know they’ve both kind of aged poor imo

I’ve always said struggle singing will never age well. It may be catchy and the hoes like it in real time, but it’s not going to sound fresh 20 years into the future.

can't believe we switched up on JA

On what planet

50 outstreams Ja by a ton

Songs been sampled more in the last 10 years by a lot by modern artist

That just proves 50 is more popular and have more notoriety than ja we all know that. Plus “in da club” is a generational hit, which ja doesn’t have

nikkas saying Ja shyt has aged better is smoking dikks

But that’s not to say Rule ain’t got classics and shyt that’s still in ro today. This beef is 25 years old, we can be honest on both sides.

And to the nikka that said 50 ain’t take the baton that nikka 50 had the game on LOCK from 02-07. Kanye’s Graduation vs his Curtis album is what put him out to pasture musically. I’m old enough to remember this shyt in real time.

I remained a fan of both throughout the whole thing. I always found it weird the way ppl acted like they were never fans of Ja lol
