Keep it real. Ja Rule >>>>90% of the mainstream today

It's funny how everyone hated Ja for singing.

Now look at the game

i hate to say this, but if you listen to commercial rap now, Ja rule was ahead of the curve, not saying Ja Rule singing was amazing, but he still gave people that infectious melody. He is the originator of the poorly sung hook with a good melody that many people can latch on to.

 

[egolessindigo]

and post ja rule you see that same style with Max B, 50 cent, Wale, Drake, French Montana, Kid Cudi, Wiz etc.

 

[Omerta]

There's no doubt Ja had some joints, that song about his dad "Only begotten son" is one of my all time fav hip hop songs.

The problem is that he was showed up to be a facade, and at that time when "Real" was the trend, he vaporized.

Ja's in this hip pop singing climate would excel.

 

[Squirtle]

ITS MURDA!!! This reminds me what ever happened to that guy who loved Ja Rule The Amhed?

 

[Wacky D]

compare ny music on the radio to ja getting outside the tristate.

how long it take him to accomplish that?? it took ASHANTI

this is false. jarule had already hit his peak, sold a total of about 5-7 million albums and was nearing the end of his mainstream run by the time ashanti came out.
