You must have been in a coma, locked up, or in san antonio to say this. The ring tone era was just starting at that time. It was mostly "fun" records getting played from then on, except for the rare occasion someone like Jeezy or Ross hit.

not true he was super pop at the time and had a base
its nobodies fault but his own as to why he put out trash music
even if he lost 60% of his fans he would still be killing
but he just didnt do shyt. Something aint add up when you got 3 good albums and the features
then all of a sudden you cant write music to save your life, literally.

Ja was the King of hiphop at one time.
Always on Time/ Ashanti/ Put it on me/ Cry days he was THAT guy
50 simply was the new guy that took the mantle, it just happened that way due to many things
50 himself would later become played out and this is how the game goes

I am speaking from when 50 came into the game, the fun time was being had then, it was love songs and fun songs before he emerged into the game. 01-03 time frame, give or take, it was fun times.
Radio stations were getting away from street songs. Cats like Bubba Sparks were being played out of cars
When 50 came on the scene with this "street album" that's when the game shifted back to being edgy, radio got back to playing street records, Wayne Squad tapes, your TI's Trap Music, etc. Those street rappers started making street songs again. Jeezy mixtape Trap of Die etc.
That's why folks Imo gravitated more to 50, on the fact that he didn't give a fukk, with the things he talked about on his album.
Take 50 out of the game and list the street albums from 01-05 that folks were bumping
the albums that were like GRODT during that time frame, I gave you TI and Wayne mixtape, who else besides those two excluding 50's camp were making street albums It was short, that's when the south "fun" music snapping starting to headway the rap scene. Crunk in a sense.
You get it. Others are dismissing the street shyt that 50 brought back to the table, which allowed acts like TI, Jeezy and Wayne to make 'street' albums in that timeframe.

Ja's music epitomized having an expiration date.
Ja made formulaic "R&B/hip hop" joints that were played out the minute they came out the studio. Everyone was tired of that shyt. All of it was either brain-stormed by white A&Rs or pandered to them.
Went from Holla Holla to Always on Time.
Then got mad when people disrespected him and he tried to get gangsta again. No one was having that.
Throw in 50 getting hot at THE exact moment to shyt on Ja and it was just spitting on his grave at that point.
There were plenty of reasons to hate on Ja and his music.

Not gonna lie...that joint with christina milian was a SUMMER SMASH...
It's just after 2002, those ja and r&b singer collabs became stale as shyt...
The lil mo joint I cry was ill...
But when he did rainy dayz and that joint with ashanti around 2003, I just wasnt feeling it...
Clap back

Wonderful
They were good songs, but 50 was in a higher gear at that point...and the constant xxl interscope machine was too much to overcome..
But let's not act like ja didnt have a couple of summers

Fairweather fans along with the def jam marketing machine.He was going double and triple platinum tho
Dude was on top until a actual street cat came in and crushed the buildings.
The ridicule of Ja Rule approaching pop was Fits ammo
Not to mention questioning his street authenticity.
So, what about going platinum when woman and kids are your primary consumers.
No..Money..Mo..Problems
it is what it is
Yup you gotta reinvent yourself or move onto being a regular person. 50 cooled off a decade ago but he's still relevant cuz of this shows and troll game. Only thing Ja been doing is scamming white folks lately
