Ja Rule vs 50 Cent Beef

[RickyRich]

This the one thing I never understood about the beef

People be like"yeah 50 went and done the same thing ja done!"

What make records woman enjoy?

So what?

but that was the shit he dissed ja about u dumbfuck

 

[GetoBoy]

Loyality?what hip hop head was a loyal ja rule fan?.hip hops always encouraged batteling and goin for the top spot.

So if u like a rapper then someone comes along outta nowhere and demolishes them u supposed to be all"ill always stick by ur side.who does this guy think he is".yall aint friends with these niggaz

It's one thing to be able to admit if a rapper got ate up in a battle it's a whole different thing to stop supporting a rapper all together becuz another rapper tells you he ain't cool no more but I am... The same niggas who was throwing they M's up one year was running to go cop a 50 cent wife beater the next

I was about 17 or 18 when this shit was going on. I had been a Ja fan since middle school when that venni vetti vecci came out. Shit was crazy though just how fast shit changed. Ja was being clowned in my school and every where else . I'm like are y'all listening to the music? Ja still had some bangers in the midst of all that.

I think shit went to another level when that Hail Mary dropped. I think that went harder than Wanksta did. I'm from Lexington Ky, they dropped that shit on the local radio soon as it came out like it we was in NY and Flex premiered it. Shit was in rotation.

50 got him a nice lil run off this beef tho. Rozay shut him down tho. Now he don't know when to hang it up.

When 50 first came out I didn't think he was bad, but 50 dissing Ja Rule didn't stop me from listening to Ja's music. Hell I still think "Loose Change" is better than majority of the disses 50 made about Ja on it's own. Get Rich or Die Trying was a good album but I never really went for the "if 2 rappers are beefing I can only listen to one" logic even when I was in high school. Plus it really did and still does confuse me how so many didn't see 50 really did emulate Ja Rule while dissing him at the same time lol. They were both good but by the time 50 started beefing with folks for petty reasons, like his beef with Lil Kim over "Magic Stick", I remember telling people what was going to happen to 50 that eventually did. He was going to beef with so many people eventually he'd go cold musically and end up working with the folks he beefed with to try and get hot again...which is exactly what he's doing now lol.

Revisionist history 101. That sound great in theory but lets be honest.

We know it sounds terrible to admit, its sad, but it was reality: rap beefs made nggas pick sides. Even if it was only subconciously.

Nas n Jay are the GOATS, but if a ngga tell you he objectively listened to both Ether and Takeover, both Nas albums and Jay albums during that beef without leanin in 1 way or the other, they're lying. Straight like that Lol As time goes on and we as fans mature...things change.

Same here. The reason i know nggas are not bein truthful sayin they were listenin to Ja is b/c I have never even met a ngga who was a real deal Ja fan from albums! Lol We all liked the singles and the feel good songs, but i dont know many people who were listenin to him for lyrical content and albums outside of his first few. Thats hw it was so easy for him to vanish and get replaced. He was cookie cutter.

But now 10 yrs later everybody all of a sudden: 'You know what, Ja was that ngga i never left his side'. Bullshyt.

Lol at you just knowing it's revisionist history. You psychic now? The nigga made some good songs. Just because 50 came along and dissed him doesn't mean some of his songs stopped being good. The R.U.L.E. album was a good album after Blood In My Eye that got ignored largely because of the 50/Ja Rule beef but it's not like Ja went 100% wack. Nigga still rapped the same and did the same shit he always did. Put out a single he was known for with "Wonderful" and had the actual harder/good tracks on the album like "R.U.L.E. (the title track)" "Where I'm From", "Passion" and a couple others that were good.

Anybody remember that radio station rant that was floating around the internet where he was like "Ya'll wanna see 2Pac!!!! Well ya'll gonna see 2Pac!!!!"

It was around that time that I couldn't take him seriously anymore.

 

[The_Man]

ja got too comfy at the top, that grease video with ja playing john travolta did not help, 50 was hungry and ready to get that money, add that with the huge buzz 50 got from being signed by em and dre and ja was finished going platinum, not gonna lie i jumped ship in a heartbeat and 50 was the man lol i was a kid at the time.

Thats from a song.sure it was a diss to em and 50

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

I thought at the time that you're a fickle nigga if you stop listenin' to a rapper you like coz he 'lost' a rap beef

Its not jus cause a rapper tells you to.they expose them in ways over a diss track bout shit u mite not have known.like ether didnt make niggaz look at jay a certain way.or the countless disses to prodigy.they kept they fans cos they had a strong catalogue.ja lost his fans cos 50 came harder nh and noone cared about ja by then.stick with ja if u want but 50 made ja aaand his fans loose face

 

[mindright]

50 was/is a funny ass dude, that's what I thought about it

that was definitely a beef Ja shouldn't have entertained, he probably still be relevant today

 

[RickyRich]

new ja rule album comin soon GLC genius love company . i saw the tracklist already its dope

 

[macadonwoo]

It was nessesary. It made Ja stop making that pop bullshit and make two great albums with Blood in my eye and R.U.L.E.

 

[RawAce]

This beef really taught me about life. I was in the 10th and 11th grade when this was goin on. I had nothin against Ja rule, I jus was happy this 50 cent guy was challenging that pop shit on the radio . The momentum that wanksta, in the club, and Hail Mary built for 50 was crazy. The world was ready to adopt 50 cent as the king of mainstream rap and kick Ja off the mountain ........ JUST BECAUSE 50 SAID SO.

That was power. 50 had so much power he made fans and rappers dislike Ja for no reason.

But as I got older and looked back at the shit I laffed because I realized jus how fickle we were.

 

[freethewave]

Thot it was funny that rappers turned against him.jay was tight then seemed not.dmx jumped in go to sleep.busta jumped on hail mary doin impressions.50 got niggaz goin at him lol

 

[dwade206]

I was never a fan of Ja's music so when 50 battled him, I was on 50s side. The funny thing is, as of recent years, I can't stand 50s music either. Some of the old stuff is cool, but I just outgrew his music.

 

[dwade206]

Piggy Bank was garbage, by the way.

That's pretty much how I felt. I was getting sick of Ja Rule so it was good to see somebody try to take him out. But 50 got to big for his britches. He thought he was ALL THAT when he wasn't, he was just hot at the time.

50 Cent was hot for about 3 years and he basically, well, fell from top 10 to not mentioned at all.

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

Never got on the 50 cent train...Ja Rule was aiiiiight...

I did like that R.U.L.E album doe
