I just want to big dude up while he still here, even if it means putting extra sauce on it

Nah ja was def in that cause def jam had the game on lock if it wasn’t ja it was nas

It's funny you mentioned that album because, in my hometown, I hear Pop Smoke blaring out of a lot of people's cars.

I was just hearing "Something Special" blasting out of someone's car like 15 minutes ago.

He was young 50 man smh

Nah Candy Shop ain’t kill his career. Y’all forgetting GRODT movie soundtrack dropped and that had hits as well. I think people started getting sick of 50 around Curtis

People started getting sick of 50 when everything turned southern

I feel like most of the modern Ja hate comes from dumb ass kids who don’t understand that this nigga was doing Drake numbers.

The video shoot that started the beef and everything, they shot this s*** on Jamaica ave on the colli block

I heard 50 used to pull up to them video shoots on a motorcycle with a gun on his lap just to troll this nigga smh lmao

yeah he was big but Nelly dropped a diamond album and followed up with 5mil+ on the sophomore album in that same time frame lol. Ja Rule was a commercial success for sure but not top 3, and like i said in my last post there wasn't a big 3 in that era. There was room for a lot of big acts before the record industry crashed

yeah that nigga was wilding

Ja rule got so many timeless records

Ja Rule was about as successful as Ludacris, though Luda's run is more impressive because he was able to sell without relying heavily on R&B hooks.

Ja wasn't really stanned like that either and that had nothing to do with 50 either. I remember Ja's hits getting played as a kid, especially when women were around but I never heard of people unironically stanning Ja Rule.

That's also lowkey why it was so easy for 50 to take him down too when he blew up.

Thread: Give Ja Rule His Flowers

Niggas that like arguing: No

here to agree with op. everyone wil act fake sad if he goes (touch wood) because they know he had iconic hits on hits

yeah he deserves his flowers. people go too far with s***ting on him tbh

@op is right

lmao

me:

Notorious hater of all things @Tubig strikes again.

real nigga raspy voice singing his heart out

going to miami with no mask LETS GO!!!

I do not give af about his thug love songs.

man got hungry for success that he ended up just commercializing and dumbing down the most marketable aspects of X & Pacs style for a TRL audience. he clearly got lost in the success and the d**** at the time. with that said I still feel like he made some quality music and had an ear for structing hit songs for the time.
