Posts about Ja Rule

This was actually released before the ODB/Wu Tang one [click here], but I just found it and it’s too good not to post. Fredro Starr talks about being offered a record deal with Death Row Records after Suge Knight and Tupac went to the Sunset Park premier, and how ‘Pac and others reacted to the offer.

For the record, the ‘Pac song on the Sunset Park soundtrack that ‘Dro mentions is the amazing classic “Pain” that was later bastardized by Ja Rule on his album Pain Is Love.

UPDATE: Thanks to Jon Peters below for pointing out my mistake, the song on the Sunset Park soundtrack was actually “High ‘Til I Die.” “Pain” was released on the soundtrack of another basketball movie, Above The Rim, in which Tupac also stared. My comments on Ja Rule’s version of “Pain” still stand though. Terrible.

During an interview with Ja Rule as he plays Madden 2010 with a homie, he talks about thanking 50 Cent for mentioning his name on VH1’s Behind The Music. Rule also goes on to state that Fif owes him a lot of checks. He refers to 50 Cent as “this bitch ass nigga Boo Boo” who always has shit to say about Ja. They also discuss Barack Obama, sports and a possible upcoming three disc album.

Ja Rule and Ashanti reunite in honor of Def Jam and perform “Always On Time” and “Down For You”.

Here is the full episode of VH1 Behind The Music chronicling 50 Cent’s life and rise to fame, including how he signed to Eminem and Dr. Dre with comments by Shady himself.

50 Cent’s been video chatting with fans lately, answering their questions, and expectedly it didn’t take long for Ja Rule and Murder Inc to come up in conversation. Fif’ also talks about Fat Joe hitting Jay-Z in the head with a bottle back in the day.

Ja Rule has leaked his full The Mirror album, which was recorded about three years ago but never released. Below is his official statement and the tracklist is after the jump. Drop us a comment below and let us know if you think Rule’s still got it.

The album was leaked already so I’m really just putting it out there for the people who didn’t really get a chance to hear it, There’s some extra records on there that I put on there that I didn’t necessarily record for The Mirror and there are a couple of records that were recorded for The Mirror but didn’t leak. A lot of people didn’t hear a lot of the records, so if you’re not a die-hard Ja Rule fan, then you probably didn’t hear a lot of the records or not at all…You gotta understand, The Mirror was made almost three years ago now so there’s a couple of jabs on The Mirror, I ain’t gonna front.

“I’m working. I’m not in a rush,” Ja Rule said about his upcoming album. “I’m doing good work in the community with my Life Foundation. That’s always a plus. But as far as the music side, I’m in the studio working every day. I’m about to go in the studio and work right now and finish up on the album. The album’s coming out incredible. It’s very different. I wanted to make it special. I wanted the album to be out of this world magnificent, and it’s definitely shaping up to that. I’m not in a rush. I got a new situation — my Mpire Music Group. Gotti’s got Murder Inc. We’re both still together — there’s no separation. We’re both together doing what we do, but I have my own situation and I got new artists. Like Merce Montana, Harry-O, Live, we’re definitely putting it together.”

Look who’s back (?), it’s Ja Rule! What do you think? I guess he didn’t get Hov’s AutoTune memo…
