JAY-Z Blames Ambition And Ego For Failed Supergroup With DMX & Ja Rule

[old pig]

Joint project from them wouldn't have been all that tbh

nikka you crazy lmao

 

[ADP]

Would definitely take this mentality over current buddy buddy shyt where everybody features everywhere to some wack material

When it hits it hits but more often than not...

nikka you crazy lmao

How often do these things meet expectations?

How often do these things meet expectations?

how often have 2.5 undeniable hip hop legends formed a super group damn near in their prime??????

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Jay was a wave rider he wasn't a group member.

That’s like saying every collaboration between big artists/producers is earth shattering. That’s not always the case at all…most times it’s not.

Yall say the stupidest shyt

What's dumb about it? Jay was huge X was huge Ja may have been talented and played a part in records but it looks to me like there's no way X and Jay would put him in their level by doing a group album as equals. That would only be done as a favor to Irv in my guesstimate and it didn't happen so how is what I said dumb dummy? shyt didn't happen. And they were all in def jam

 

[Animal House]

Ja was holding his own when he rapped on those two tracks I’ll give him that especially Murdergram

 

[gho3st]

its always interesting no one mentions that Jay was way older than everyone else. He always seemed ahead because he literally was.

DMX and Jay only 1 year apart

Ja was the only young one

 

[avon barksdale]

No disrespect to Ja but why would Jay or X want to be una group with fukking Ja Rule at the time? It was clearly Irv trying to blow HIS artist up. This shyt was obviously never gonna come to fruition.

Ja was better then Hov on ever song they had...

@Universal Koala
Just peeped your Slick Rick avatar.

Right continent, wrong animal, though

Wallabies

 

[Mag Wheel]

Who the fukk wants Jarule in their supergroup? Singin ass, Dmx Pac biting lame

 

[MrLogic]

x and ja sound wise made sense to be in a group .....

 

[Piff Perkins]

Mmm Hmm

Nah. The Firm wasn't dope because of Steve Stoute being more concerned about getting Trackmaster placements than making a good album, and all the label drama over how many verses each artist could have. I don't think it's a stretch to outright declare a Jay/X/Ja album would have better production and higher highs solely off having the two hottest dudes in the game, and everyone being on Def Jam.

 

[C-Styles]

yall gotta realize, Ja gained a HUGE BUZZ with "can i get a" nobody was really checkin for Jay like that until the song blew up but Ja stole the show as soon as you heard "It ain't even a question...". Everyone was asking who that raspy deep voice guy was. If i remember correctly they promoted his debut album with a sticker on it that said "The "it ain't even a question" guy with his debut album
