Ja Rule Prepares Comeback Album

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

NEW YORK - Ja Rule probably should have battled nemesis 50 Cent with sticks and stones, considering what happened after their war of words.

A few years ago, Ja Rule was among the most popular — and overexposed — figures in hip-hop. His first four albums had sold millions of copies each. His deep, gravelly voice, either in rap form or an off-key warble, punctuated hit after hit. He enjoyed numerous collaborations with artists ranging from J.Lo to Jay-Z to labelmate Ashanti.

Then a pre-superstar 50 Cent blew up with the song "Wanksta," a thinly veiled attack calling Ja a fake gangsta wannabe perpetrating a tough-guy image. Even though Ja fired back on underground songs, interviews and last year's "Blood in My Eye" album, the image seemed to stick.

"I'm gonna make my records and do what I do with my peoples and have a good time with life, and you know, we wanna get back to having fun, making you dance in the club, and party, because that's what real gangstas do, they party."

I'd like to see him cut in half with a chainsaw.

I've really enjoyed the Ja Rule/Murder Inc vs 50, Eminem, Busta, and DMX... funny shit. Rap just sounds better when you're dissing somebody, and Ja was clearly on the losing end of those battles over the last year or two.

He's lost a lot of credibility imo but he may have a following left in the pop world, but not rap... :partae:

wassa matter Ken, you disapprove of parties? or just real-g's?
