Ja Rule Claims It's 'Statistically Impossible' For Him Not To Be A Top 50 Rapper

[Whips-n-Chains]

Breh...you enjoyed that "run" of forced R&B Pop shyt with corny ass early 2000s beats? On top of that, Ja's voice is OD obnoxious. There's nothing anyone can say or do to make me believe he was dope. As much as people loved the "im from New Yooooork" song, I thought that shyt was trash af too, waste of a solid beat.

I could never pretend that was raw. shyt like that set hip hop back

I loved it. and Ja could really rap 2.

 

[No Hook]

Top 50 catalogue as far as sales go? Absolutely

Top 50 rapper? No and I was a Ja fan growing up

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

It's bc it was such bad music. I HATED Ja's music well before 50 made it popular.

I'll never give him props for making us suffer all of 2002. At least nikkas like Nelly were listenable

Listen to VVV and call it wack. Impossible whole album is flames.

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

I’m not going to do the math now but he definitely picked a number that people wouldn’t debate much, many couldn’t name 50 rappers without research

 

[Versa]

If you're between the ages of 28-40, you know Ja Rule's run was undeniable.

Listen to VVV and call it wack. Impossible whole album is flames.'

Lupe is a GOAT and mentions that album regularly.

dawg he was hanging with X and Hova.....they not getting this lie off.

 

[Diondon]

50 really did a number on people's psyche
You'd swear he wasn't a C level rapper his damn self

 

[collateral.]

Easily dude has a better discography than the like of Jadakiss

I haven’t listened to Race Against Time in years

Then 50 got on and ran with his wave

I don't fukk w/ Ja's voice...it's a chore to listen to him. VVV isn't bad, but it's not something I'd ever choose to listen to... I don't like the production style either. Irv Gotti is not a dope producer.

I fukk with "Story to Tell" is the only song I'd ever choose to hear again. Just not a fan of Ja

He did...and that was the demise of 50. After that NYC as a whole never recovered...everyone was too busy chasing the next R&B Clubby hit and forgot about the streets, the south took over b/c trap was geared towards the streets.

Yep. First time I saw him pop up in that Jay video dressed as Pac doing his best DMX impression I thought he was corniest dude in rap. I didn't need 50 to convince me he was trash.

Coke Boyz trash af

Dip Set was raw, thank god for them, mostly b/c they fed the streets...but by 2006/07 New York was no longer in the position as the leaders of the genre.
