Ja Rule: "Nikkas turned they back on me for no good reason"

[Ziggiy]

I don't remember any dudes liking Ja. That's partly what contributed to 50's success. Maybe women were rockin with Ja, but I don't recall them listening to him all like that. Ja to me back then was a more gruff version of Lil Zane.

Dude’s “tolerated” Ja because women loved him. It wasn’t that his music was wack it just wayyyyy too bubblegum. Jay-Z for example was always able to maintain that balance where he was good with Brehs and Chicks. Ja, and to a lessor extent Nelly, went too far into “R&B Thug Love” territory to the point where 90% of their fanbases were women

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

As a Ja Rule fan, he's right


Folks turned on Ja for Curtis. But Curtis is and has always been trash.

Just look at how he talked about Michael k Williams passing

What did he say?

I always fukked with JA I didn’t like that whole 50 cent fiasco because it seemed like 50 popped all of that shyt and went right ahead and did the same type of music ja did....also I always respected the fact that murder inc didn’t back down....didn’t somebody stab up a gunit member..,plus 50 is a whole damn snake.

and than after that all the indictments and all of that shyt started happening to murder inc...I still wonder what would have happened if they were able to do that deal with death row and rapalot or whoever else it was.

im sure hot rod and @shopthatwrecks have some insider info.

The G Unit movement took him out not 50.

All facts

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

 

[King Kai]

50 Cent - Rapper / Entrepreneur / Pan-African

 

[Ziggiy]

The G Unit movement took him out not 50.

50 WAS the G Unit movement

 

[seabreeze80]

man... that G-unit run was one of the greatest things ever.

Yes, I have massive NY bias.

It felt so good being a young nikka and the biggest superstar in the world came from your same hood.

& 50 was lowkey Pan-African.... whole crew full of black men from different tribes.

No 50 slander allowed.

One of the greatest black men in history.

 

[BangBike]

Weezy was like the hottest nikka at the
time, and he threw this nikka a bone..
The song was just hot trash...

 

[Ozymandeas]

It actually was but it’s hilarious to type out. 50 Cent did not give a fukk about Pan Africa anything

 

[Henri Christophe]

Facts tho

Whole crew full of black caribbean nikkas, down south nikkas, west coast nikkas, and black spanish nikkas

But thats a Queens thing.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Its been 20+ years....y'all still care about either of these dudes and they beef?

 

[Dynamite James]

You can still play some of Ja Rule / Ashanti Collab to this day and it would get the people moving. I can't think of a single 50 Cent song that could do the same today.

In da club obviously.

 

[CrownHeights]

The nail in Ja’s career was Dave Chappelle basically turning him into one of the first meme’s.


“Where’s Ja?!?!”

"I ain't trying dance, I'm scared to death"
