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

[karim]

I mean Irv and em did production for the Ruff Ryders, so that was the signature sound of NY around the time .

Outside of RR and Murder Inc, it was always futuristic digital thug shyt that aged like ass.

Irv was never the greatest producer, but he went from producing shyt like can I live and how's it going down to copying swizz beats who at that time was pushing buttons on his triton without actually knowing what he was doing. That NY triton era was a terrible time in rap music

 

[The Realist Perspective]

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.

Agreed. Outside of some RR albums, Nas, Jiggaman, and Cormega. I took my ears down south since I did not know what the fukk was popping in the east coast. I was on my No limit, Cash Money, Rap a Lot steez around the time

Ja not even better than Tony Yayo

fukk that nikka!

nah

 

[HoldThisL]

G-Unit had Lloyd Banks

 

[JQ Legend]

Not me

I was still listening to Ja after Wanksta

Ja lost me with that bullshyt ass Blood In My Eye album that was 14 tracks, 6 actual songs, 4 skits and 4 “bonus” tracks

By far one of the biggest clusterfukk albums in history

In all honesty tho, Ja was falling off by late 02, Last Temptation didn’t even sell half of what his last 2 albums did. I personally thought it was a cool album but he was clearly downhill from there with or without 50

This came out AFTER nikkas turned their back on Ja…


…and nikkas rocked with it. If he continued to make dope music, he would’ve been fine. But he didn’t.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I’m not a big Ja fan at all but I’m not mad at him. The shyt that happened with him was backhanded.. Yes his music was getting super corny but still lol

 

[old boy]

lol word nikka said boo boo was curtis garvey

 

[George's Dilemma]

People liked Ja rule one week,

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.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

This is what did him in.

Word

JA a real one for throwing Bobby wild ass a bone

 

[Bboystyle]

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.

Get the taste of nut out yo mouth



The best line from this whole beef was "Em your moms a crack head and Kim's a known slut, so what's Hailey gonna be when she grows up".

And i dont even like Ja

 

[Orange cream shake]

This is a nikka using melody


Ja was holdin notes tryna be Teddy Pendergrass

nikka had HITS but he started sounding like an in love/heartbroken version of the Cookie Monster

I feel like the mods should put a disclaimer on your post considering you were once or still are on g unit payroll. With that being said ja rule is a 100% right.
