50 ended Ja and ppl thought he had next.I don't respect 50 to the same degree as some of y'all
Rule is absolutely right

Yeah because that's the entire 50's discographyI never listened to Gunz For Sale, I Smell p*ssy, Places To Go, Window Shopper etc and thought damn this is similar to Put It On Me, Lady & Rainy Dayz

On the surface thats what it sounds like and I wont argue back n forth with the point cuz I agree a tiny bit but there was a sizable difference in styles.
50 was using melodic raps and 90% of the content was gangsta shyt.
Ja committed and was doing actual singing duets and love ballads trying to hold notes with the premium cookie monster vocal chords. He went FULL R&B and abandoned the hood shyt.
Exactly.
50 was on the sing songy shyt from the jump. There is quite a bit of difference between 21 questions and singing in the fukking rain with Mary J Blige...like legit writing and singing R&B records, which is a skill of course. But 50 was doing what he ALWAYS did vocally and content wise.
He wasn't crooning like Ja, EVER, he simply made melodic singles that targeted women. Trying to conflate the two things is a very surface level observation that serves a particular agenda.

Where is the lie?
Exactly.

fif did it better. give me 21Qs over that 'livin it up' garbage
this shyt was horrible lol
i have the stevie wonder single he jacked, its the Do i Do single with 'Rocket Love' on the B-side is a classic (rocket love was the hook for gzas cold world). why did stevie let him do that to his song man damn
im fine with interpolations but ja rules music is just objectively awful
if Nelly did this song it would be 1000x better
