Ja Rule speaks on his feud with 50 Cent, and the effect it had on his career at the time.

50 Cent has had his share of beefs in his career, but his feud with Ja Rule was one of the first high profile rivalries we saw from him. It was pretty clear from the outside 50 that came out on top, with the rapper rising to the top of the rap game, as Ja's relevance quickly waned. What wasn't evidently clear from this perspective was how Ja's deteriorating presence was directly tied to 50's power in the industry.

“It was a lot going on in that time frame,” said Ja in an interview with HOT 97. “You got the federal indictment. Here’s what it is, it was orchestrated very well. He was a part of the juggernauts at that moment. Eminem, Dre, they were very, very big in what they were doing as well. So, as we were big over on our side they were also big on their side. And as everything started to crumble for us as far as we didn’t have a label home anymore, ya understand? There was a lot of things that were falling apart for us. It was easy for him to get people to turn on. And there was things that were behind the scenes that y’all don’t see that also made us seem more irrelevant. Like we couldn’t go to awards shows.”

Head of Murder Inc., Irv Gotti also revealed that his legal troubles coincided with the feud, putting them in an even more difficult position.

“It wasn’t just one thing, like everything came at us." said Irv. "So, I couldn’t even do business because the Feds told Universal if you do any business with Irving Lorenzo, you’re gonna be codefendants with Irving Lorenzo…I couldn’t enter into a new agreement. So, they couldn’t give me no money,” he explained. “They couldn’t do nothing. So, I’m sitting there trying to organize things and do things and I gotta do it with nothing because the Feds is on my back.”

The two recalled hearing Fif's "In Da Club" for the first time. "That record was so dope, I looked at Rule, and was like 'Yo, we got a major problem" said Irv of his initial reaction. "We took the L."

His mistake was going after Eminems daughter when it was just 50 going after him.

That brought the whole of aftermath after them, even Busta.
 
Very interesting stuff. I knew that 50 came out on top of the feud, but I have been wondering where Ja Rule went afterwards.
 
He did get hit with one of the biggest diss tracks of the decade

Glad to see he can still afford clothes
 
I can believe this.

Similar thing happened to Canibus after his beef with LL. Def Jam orchestrated a whole lot of things outside the records to make sure LL came out on top.

Canibus doesn't know when to shut his mouth, dude goes after everyone. That's his problem.

Really.

He went @ LL after LL dissed him.
He went @ Beanie Siegal after Beans dissed him
He went @ Proof after he dissed him

The Enimen thing was slightly different but Canibus never dissed Eminem on record until after the slim shady LP dropped which had the line on role model "I'm cancerous, so when I diss you wouldn't wanna answer this If you responded back with a battle rap you wrote for Canibus"

Neither of them really went in on each other as it seemed both were wary of the opposition so it was jab after jab.
 
Embarrassing to see them on Hot 97 admitting their L and irrelevancy. So sad. There's no recovering from that.

I almost feel bad for them.

Wondering does 50 cent even have any intention of releasing any more music or is he just content trolling twitter counting his monies?

He created a full studio album and then released it for free. He said it was a gift to his fans but I suspect that nobody gave a fuck about hearing it so he just put it out.

Didnt a couple of albums sell pretty badly. I remember one which was leaked really early and it bombed.

because dmx is a crack head and went to jail multiple times?
 
What kills me is that he HAD chances to go back at 50. He says he didn't get to go to award shows and the like, but maybe it had something to do with his next few albums being completely ass. Producers were ashamed to send him anything.

Remember Clap Back? That debuted and I swear the whole hip-hop world was waiting for Ja to respond over that top-notch, battle-rap-esque beat. And what did he say? Not a damned thing.

Young Buck gets more sympathy.
 
Had no idea how much hip hop rivalries are kind of like wwf wrestling. Lots of manufactured drama. Only difference is that some guys actually lose?
 
Must be reallll slow at Hot 97 to bring in Ja Rule and Irv Gotti - like call them to show up 5 minutes before air time-slow.
 
His rise to his 15 min of fame was doing pop songs with Ashanti and JLo while acting like a fake tough guy.

That will last about as long as until you stop making radio hits. And for Ja it stopped and never picked up again.

50 Cent had more hits than Ja, Chingy, DMX and every other rapper from that era combined not named Eminem or Jay Z.

Granted 50 also had a far better producer behind his back
 
That beef was funny. Never seen a career deaded like that. When will these fools stop having gangmembers fund their labels? Supreme!
 
Ja Rule always struck me as a low rent dude who only got play because they dolled him up to look like Tupac in a Jay Z video

They probably walked downstairs and saw Ja eating out of a garbage can and figured "why not?"

Hah!

Also in general I just wouldn't really get into beef with 50, dude doesn't even have to be reliant and will go along with.

" hey fiddy rick ross was talking shit"

" let me ruin his life for a little bit"



Also J rule wasn't really tha good in the first place, also I believe he went after em's daughter, which is a nono.

His label doesn't want to promote any of his shit anymore. Not that it wouldn't be successful but it wont be like his other albums so they keep passing on it.

Fif got his hands in all types of shit. He doesn't need to or give a shit about making good shit anymore.

GRODT and The Massacre are still great.
 
1.) What is an "L"?
2.) I guess Bully was the diss track people are referring to? It was very well written for a rap song.
3.) Not sure what the back story is.
