A lot of dudes in here who were bumping the FUKK outta G-Unit Radio, Guess Who’s Back (EP) and GRODT now acting like they never fukked with 50.
Hindsight really reveals the ho in dudes +15 years later
This is what happens when your music has been pretty garbage for 12-13 years. So much time has passed by that people forget 50 used to drop dope stuff. Eminem and Lil’ Wayne have suffered the same fate.
And to add, people were dipping from Ja Rule’s music way before 50 came into the picture.

At you saying that like it’s so clear cut, It was numerous reasons, one …ja and gotti started chasing hits filtered out his original grimier sound that he had at first , the nikka literally started singing hence rainy dayz 
then tried to go back to the old sound with blood in my eye all because 50 was on that ass, it was trash …if he would have came with R.U.LE with a better clap back type of record maybe ja survives, 50 honestly just pushed him off a ledge that he was already on the edge of anyway , the music just declined, best case of when going pop goes wrong

Fans never chose Ja Rule over DMX...Ja was really bubbling, as X was beginning to show some chinks in his armor (acting and commercialized music). Hov was still STRONG. Ja was dominating, wit that sing-songy, rap/R&B shyt. Initially, Ja was struggling, cuz he was immediately viewed as a "Lil X clone".
Early on, I had Bleek, Beans, and Ja, ALL neck, and neck, and ALL subordinates to the top dawgs (Jay - Rocafella, and X - RR). Ja Rule music, became undeniable at a certain point tho, and he had the hoes, wit those anthems. Murder Inc begins to pop (w/ him as their flagship artist). X begins to fall off, and something about Hov, began to fall off too. Moreso, the inconsistentency and wanting to play a boss role (pushing State Prop, and his ROC artists more).
50 begins to capture the streets wit those G-Unit mixtapes. His name begins to RING BELLS on the east coast. He can do no wrong, during this time. I remember nggas were gassin the release of Tony Yayo up, before I really knew who he was, as if Pac was coming home, and the unit would be solidified (50, Banks, Yayo).
Ja was also beginning to catch backlash for all that singin shyt, when nggas didn't want the megastar from NY, living off that sweet ass image. Once Fif had the streets, and kept comin wit that consistent ether, diss wise, Rules days were sealed. "I Smell p*ssy", mixtape disses (Stuart Little), and greazy sneak dissing shyt like "Window Shopper", was too much for that lil ngga to handle. Too much ether from Fif, Banks, etc. was coming out that camp. They had their foot on their NECKS, something serious.
GRDT drops and Ja was DOA. Everyone was on 50 top, back then. Then Banks album was fire. The G-Unit album was flames, The Game, Buck, etc.) It was too much, for 90% of artists to overcome.
Jay had retired, X was a shell of himself, Rocafella was in-fighting, falling off, and Murder Inc, was taking loss after loss, musically, and wit that trial. Fif in concert, wit that FBI trial, brought Ja and Murder Inc to it's knees. Dip Set wasn't big enough commercially, to dethrone G-Unit. Fif eventually copies, Ja Rule's SAME EXACT formula, and has the game in a choke, til he falls off, and nggas turn on their oversaturated asses, also. The irony of it all.
That's how I remember everything unfolding. @ me if I'm wrong.

If you really pay attention 90 percent of rappers really bring generic bars or rhymes. Some can do that and because, like fifty, they appeal to the consumer in other ways they get away with it.

If he was smart, he would spin that off into a podcast where he actually provides commentary on events of the world.
I could see "Ja-Rule's Takes" doing decent numbers as a youtube channel.

Almost like how people were nelly and Ludacris fans in their teenage years and pretend to have never liked the hits they made
Yep, I know cats that were bumping Ja songs up till 2002 now swear they don't remember
Banks is ADOS, only one parent is Rican.
Never heard anything about Buck not being of American descent.
