Ja Rule came in the game in 99, maximized his short ass period in the game
99 to 2002 and in 2003 he flopped.
So by yearly calculation, Drake should flop on his next album or he's already exceeded Ja Rules time in the game.
And miss me with that 3x platinum talk, 3x platinum in 2000 is like 1x platinum today.
And Drake and Ja's approaches are completely different, Ja sang hooks like multiple rappers (including 50 cent for example), Drake sings full songs. Drake's albums are critically acclaimed, Ja's were not. Ja made straight pop singles (classics, not shots), Drake has 1 per album and 2-3 other straight hiphop singles. (see Find your love + Miss Me/Over, Take Care + Headlines/HYFR, Hold on we're... + All me/started from the bottom).
Drake talks introspectively for women, the shyt men can reason with or relate to. Ja just talked that commercial bs in regards to women.
