FREE JA-RULE
Ja going upstate to do his bid, 30 months his TSI is today but I thought we could take a glance at his career:
(1999-2004)-6 years
"Venni Vetti Vicci"(1999) = Platinum
"Rule 3:36" =(2000) 3X Platinum
"Pain is love" = (2001) 3X Platinum
"The Last Temptation" (2002) = Platinum
"R.U.L.E" = (2004) Gold
8 #1 singles.

Ja-Rule had one of the best runs at the top of any rapper, his reign lasted a year longer than DMX's, he has more platinum solo-albums than 50cent, and more #1 singles than JayZ & Nas combined.
So what happened??
1.) 2002 was the last year of of NY's dominance on hiphop, from 2003 on to 2011 the South has dominated.
2.) Murder Inc. was raided by the Feds in 2003 and the distractions and possible prison sentences had everybody involved with the label unable to focus 100% on their music careers.
3.) Emenim dissed Ja-Rule and went to war with him and enlisted all of Shady records to go to war with Ja Rule in 2004 with songs like "Hail Mary", "Bully", "Bodyguard" "The Rulers Back" "Haileys Revenge" etc., and multiple freestyles.
These 3 factors along with his budding movie career, and the fickleness of the rap fans who found new interest in genres of rap like "Snap-music", "Trap music" "Krunk" and artists like Game, Kanye West, Young Jeezy, Emenim and of course "The Carter" made it appear as if 50Cent somehow ended his rap-career.

3 years after that "Mesmerize" joint he had a Top 5 Gold selling hit with this joint.
^^^^"Wonderful" (2004).
...and then after that he dropped the hit "New York New York"(2004) but by then the climate in HipHop had shifted and once you lose pace in this game its almost always over for you because fickle-fans jump on the next hot bandwagon no matter the music.
