Ja Rule On Why He Turned Down Returning To Fast & Furious

[Eternally Jaded]

Do you REALLY believe he was getting $14M on a tour at the time?!?!

The doubters must have forgotten but Ja was a HUGE deal musically, at one point.

Like Breh was Drake before Drake was a thing, only his time on top was much shorter.

I haven't seen his books so I can't confirm but Ja in his prime getting 14 million off a tour back then isn't outlandish at all.

"Cuz I'm Real" Ja, with Jennifer Lopez on the track?
"Rain on me" Mary J Blige featuring Ja?
"Put it on me" Ja, with Vida?

Dudes might not have rocked with Duke but the money spending women did.

Heads remember the falloff of 50 coming in hot with the lasers on him but forget how he ran summers for like 4 years prior to that.

It would've been an easy decision even if it was 7 million.

Terrible character. Whoever decided to switch Luda from a auto mechanic to a scientist should be slapped...probably the same person that put the characters in space

2 Fast 2 Furious came out in 2003. Always On Time (Him and Ashanti's biggest record), came out in 2001. So yeah, I think a country wide tour would make that much. Opting to go on a tour following your biggest hit record is a no brainer.

I mean... when you put it like that...

Luda's character wasnt a mechanic at all... when we meet him...

Culture content is dry as fukk.
Same stories over and over for the last 20 years.

Explain?

Explain?

in the second movie he was just the organizer, a FORMER street racer but was a smart dude. in fast five they fleshed out his character that was all.

 

[get these nets]

He was smart.

Even after 50 halted his career, you NEVER heard about Ja Rule having money issues, tax problems, etc

He struck while the iron was hot and made that tour money.

If Diesel doesnt come back, and they put out a banger for Fast4 , the franchise dies.

 

[African Peasant]

you guys really believe that number? he's just bullshytting to make his decision look better

not that i blame him either way, because dudes are right. in hindsight, who the fukk knew it woulda been a huge franchise

The 14 million is cap

Ja was just railroaded by Vin Diesel and really thought the franchise was done/trash

He made a miscalculation

In 2002, he came out with the Last Temptation that almost flopped. Ja was already losing steam at this point

Ja Rule literally went to prison for tax evasion.

 

[Peauxboy]

if yall watched the ending of part 3 yall already knew it was gonna pop off

Man what a fukkin night.

The second that road runner hit the screen, there was some whispers and “whaaaaat”s.

When that camera panned and mfs saw Vin’s forearm, not his head or face, but his forearm. The theater shook.

Four cars got totaled that night

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Both F&F and Ironman were popular out the gate, only an idiot didn't see that.

There is no way anyone sees that Iron Man evolves into the MCU based of that singular movie.

People forget that he infamously believed he was bigger than War Machine, and they brought in Don Cheadle for the second one and never looked back.
