It's MURDAAAAAAA! Yeah, Ja KILLS 50 in this album! People need to stop hatin on Ja just because 50 does! Ja has no R&B songs on here, it's all hardcore rap! Ja MURDERS 50, I don't know if the CD can get any better! There's only 10 songs on the album, 2 of those are freestyles, 3 Skits, and an intro off the movie Paid in Full. I'll rate the 10 individual songs:

The Life: Great song, with nice beat and it's good lyrically. 9/10

Clap Back: Awesome! Ja does really clap back on haters! 10/10

The Crown: The chorus is weird, but I'll love the beat. 9/10

Things Gon Change/2 Punk A$$ quarters: With the others from Murda Inc, This is awesome! Clappin back on the haters! And I love the skit, it says-"Is this what this is about? 2 Punk A$$ MotherF###in Quarters?" 10/10

Race against time part 2: Awesome! Ja rule at his best on here! Great! 11/10

N****s & B*****S: Pretty good, not the best though. 8/10

The INC is Back: Another highlight! Awesome beat! 10/10

Blood in My Eye: Real Short, but it's still off da hook. 10/10
Bonus Tracks:

It's Murda(Freestyle): Awesome! Both Ja and Hussein Fatal tear 50 apart! Fatal says that Pac would never make a record with a Wanksta snitch!-10/10

The Wrap(Freestyle): Another awesome freestyle wit Hussein Fatal. 10/10

This album really tears 50. Ja can't be beat! It's MURDAAAA!

I believe I already reviewed this LP as one of my first reviews about two years ago, and flooded with unhelpful votes from Ja Rule haters and 50 Cent **** riders (woldn't suprise me if I get some here as well). I personally don't care about the difference between the two rappers. Hell, if you're good, you're good, and if you're wack, you're wack. Simple as that. Now I personally think this is a good album, as Ja Rule lets some heat off his chest about his rival 50 Cent. Out of the 14 tracks here, 8 are actual songs, and 2 are freestyles. If you haven't realized, about 80% of this album is aimed at 50 and people from Aftermath Records (i.e. Emimem, Dr. Dre, Proof, etc.), directly and indirectly. "Things Gon' Change" is one of them featuring Black Child and others.

One thing I never could stand about Ja Rule was how much he was trying to immitate Tupac (see The Last Temptation for numerous examples). Well here he does it as well, not to mention having former member Hussein Fatal on four tracks (including two freestyles). He's not bad, but he isn't good either (well he's better than most of the guest appearances...which says alot). He does drop a few nice verses like "The Wrap (freestyle)" though.

Some of the better songs on this album are the ones he doesn't diss Aftermath or 50 Cent. "Race Against Time Part 2" is nice as well as "The Inc Is Back" featuring Black Child, Shadow, and Sekou.

Overall, Blood In My Eye isn't a bad album as half the world says it is. Personally, I find it to be Ja's best since Venni Vetti Vecci. Unfortunately, it took someone else to make Ja to start making quality music again. This album showcases his anger and rage which can be heard in a lot of the songs here. I recommend you check it out, without any bias. Peace!
