The Biggest Myth in HipHop is that JaRule's career ended because of 50Cent.

[KingJamal]

to answer the bolded.....ja tried to emulate pac so much, that it may have caused more harm to his career and music making more than any other element. Thats like lebron trying to say, " you want to see jordan come back, well its here nigga, im right here", but then on the flip side lebron cant back all that shit up he was yapping when it comes to being under pressure and the spot lights on him to in fact emulate jordan in the forth quarter and he cant produce. Ja strength was his hit making, not his battling, he should have stayed in his lane and just left the beef alone. Ja wanting to be the second coming of pac made him look like a clown to most folk, also going at busta at the time didnt help his cause because busta is known for being a cool dude. Ja was actually beefing with 50, em, busta, dmx all at one time, ja was simply feeling himself a little too much, he actually thought he was pac, but the thing is pac was still productive even when the odds was against him to succeed, he still was making hit after hit tracks and going platinum with his albums, he used all that negative energy and turned it positive for his career. I just dont think ja was smart enuff to handle the pressure that he was putting himself into, and like you said, ja bringing eminem daughter into the battle was also a dumb move on his part, because that just gave the opposing team a more legitimate reason to out ja all together.

Yea that was a dumb move by Ja

And he squashed that beef wit X. I don't know why Busta and him didn't get along. Busta was in that holla holla remix vid

 

[c.b.b.]

But he did request it

Nigga talks all that superman shit. The Label tried to make him superman saying he got shot 9 times lol when the police report said he got shot like 4 times.

Yeah, the clown was shot 3 times.

His "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" movie was so lame and such a fairytale, even if he said it was only loosely based on his life

Close Thread.

Also Ja and Irv were on coke and E during the time 50 came in and finished them off

Why call me a 'nigga"??

Ja Rule turned himself in today, please attempt to be mature enough to see the discussion is about his career first and foremost, Emenim is just a side dish.

Just the way I talk, get over it. U made Em a topic when you said he was a factor in Ja's career's ending when clearly 50 had the majority of it but you refuse to mention it at all other then it being a myth. All that other shit u talkin bout is irrelevant like Ja's acting career lol

Karma smashed Ja's Career.......messing wit niggas that tried to kill 50 and him survivng to become one of the biggest rappers. Same Karma thats got 50 unable to make a hit cuz he done beefed wit everybody and the compettion is on some friendly peace shit

 

[H-Rap 180]

factor in Jay Z jealously with Murder INC also. he always jealous of Irv Gotti. Irv Gotti was a brazen asshole like dame who treated white folks like shit but they still loved Irv. Irv had all the real connects, real relationships with the executive suits at the then Big 5. Irv had relationships with Jay Z biggest enemies (Nas, DMX, Death Row). Irv was the first CEO to have Def Jam take their imprint off LP, tapes, CD's (the only Def Jam references on Murder INC hardcopy albums was the manufactured by Island Def Jam Music Group tagline in fine print). Cant forget that ultimate bitch move Jay Z did when he snitched to DJ about murder INC artists "working" with his enemies. The nigga was trying to get Ashanti banned from the whats love video. the nigga got vita banned from the Burn video and her album shelved because she worked with mobb deep (vita album was supposed to drop before ms jade album in 2002). He snitched on Ja Rule for his relationship with J Lo (J Lo was at sony with......Nas!) J Lo had that one single with Nas in 2002 that had 2 commerically release edits that included and excluded nas. He went to lyles nervous and hating when Irv started that Nas joining murder Inc rumor and even dissed Ja Rule/MI (niggas twistin they fingers throwing funny gang signs line). When charli got on MI he started dissing her (she thought I was big or someshit line)

LOL damn I swear you must have been close to that camp or know somebody that was.

This filled a few blanks for me because I always wanted to know what was behind the Vita situation and those J-lo edits

It was always strange to me why Jigger dipped out the game in 2003 while the Inc was going through all that drama, the more I learn the more I come to the conclusion that Sean Cory is a double-agent and a grimey dude.

 

[L3NU]

it seems like a bit of revisionist history...

at least around my area what happened was 50 blew up and you looked real lame if you was bumpin ja after 50 came out...

so yes its fickle fans but they jumped on the gunit bandwagon...if 50 never blew up its safe to say ja might still be on the radio

Man, I should have built with you before I made this thread, I do remember hearing 50Cent say on 106th & Park that Murder Inc. was funded by drug-dealers and being shocked that he dry-snitched on National T.V. so easily.

The incident were he told the Feds "listen to my lyrics" slipped my mind, thats some grimey business to add to stealing a mans style/swag after bambozling the public into believing you were the remedy to the sing-songy-pop disease that Hiphop had caught.

How was 50 dry snitching?

a couple of ways going on shows and doing interviews telling the feds to listen to his music if they want to know about Murder Inc and the Supreme teams Connection to his Stabbing and shooting. While making songs like this [video=youtube;6FhVdohucJ4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FhVdohucJ4[/video]...

The conclusion is definite truth though...but the Witnesses will say he did no wrong.

LMAO @ this dude...you seriously don't like Hrap do you?

 

[H-Rap 180]

You've got to be kidding me bro..... Dude released album after album & not one of them shits was selling... Blood In My Eye flopped, The Last Temptation flopped (by Ja standards atleast, he was selling 3 & 4x plat domestically, internationally Ja was a star & sold just as well overseas). When 50 was dissing him its noticeable that the sales of his future records began to dip significantly. Ja couldnt even get proper radio play in NY - his HOME TURF SMMFH. If 50 could sell 20 million during their feud theres no reason why Ja's sales shouldnt have increased as well. The feds raiding murder inc was one thing but if anything it should have pushed their sales further. 50 Cent destroyed Ja Rule's career, Ja will NEVER be able to sell the way he once did.

Hrap u my nigga & all but *in pac voice* "u living fantasies my nigga i reject yo deposit when rick ross punk ass gonna come out of the closet" LOLOL.

(First off this has nothing to do with our burly ambassador of peace Sir William Rozay.)
​

"Blood in my Eye" (2003) sold a little under Gold but lets keep in mind that the failure of that project was due to Ja-Rule straying away from his hit-song Hip-pop formula for a bunch of diss tracks and Hussien Fatal from the Outlawz on 4 of the songs so he really thought he was Pac!!!

"Last Temptation" (2002) did not Flop it sold 237,000 units in its first week and went platinum at a Milli, but it was the begining of the end of his reign because he went too far PoP with that corny Grease video for "Mesmorize"...

"R.U.L.E" (2004) was Ja-Rules last solo-album on Murder inc. and it went Gold and had a Top 5 Gold single that was #1 in the U.K..

Now listen to me: In 2005 Def Jam and JayZ kicked Murder Inc off its label over that Fed ish and started Def Jam South; they left Irv and Ja-Rule for dead and Iovine damn near black-balled them, by the time they found a home it was already too late.

Im simply saying that their were a myriad of factors that contributed to Ja-Rules loss in popularity and you cant give 50Cent complete credit.

Its unfair to Ja-Rule to make it seem as if 50Cents "Diss-records" were the sole factor that slowed his career down.

 

[thesynthesis]

Ja Rule killed his own career, his records were gettin corny towards the end

he over exposed himself

then he made the mortal sin of comparing himself to 2pac

50cent took note and got a 2pac verse and made a diss record, leaving ja rule embarrassed

to add further fuel that whiteboy em jumped in, busta rhymes

and then u also had dmx goin at Ja

nas jumped shipped on ja

and basically ja self destructed

 

[brombonze]

how bout Ja just didn't make hits, hence your career goes down the tubes? if he was making hits nothing else would matter. it's funny how a lot of niggas are quick to blame fickle rap fans, but can't name 1 ja hit that got "slept" on because of 50 jay em or anybody else, and for those that say "how can you concentrate on hits wit da feds on ya back? i say, if you can scream about how u dodge haters in the street, the feds on ur back should be plenty to make hits. t/s is right 50 didn't cause ja's downfall, his fixation with "rain" did it
