I am not much of a Ja Rule fan but Venni Vetti Vecci was a tyte CD. After that he just fell off his game.

What made is worse is that he missed with calling with making good rhymes to becoming an R&B singer. So basically he would rather make more money doing something he sucks at than keeping the respect of his fans with his real style? LOL

I dont know why everyone stopped likeing ja because of 50. Ja was flowing tighter than a 5 year old before 50 was even on the map. I like ja and 50, and i listen to both.Because one person dosent like another dosent mean everyone else needs to start talkin sh*t. So what if ja flows about p*ssy its because he gets it. So F*c* all you hater's, ja is still one of the dopest rappers to grace the industry.

Ja Rule's sixth album is "R.U.L.E." (2004). To say Ja Rule has been through some controversy over the last couple of years would be an understatement. It's also a well known story that does not need to be told again. Ja Rule gets back to the basics with this latest offering, for him that means making records that sell, and I believe this one will. Rule shows he is still hungry on "The Last of the Mohicans", while Black Child delivers an on point chorus. R Kelly and Ashanti hook up with Ja Rule on the commercial single and chart hit "Wonderful". The albums other single which features established MC's Jadakiss and Fat Joe is the blazing hot "New York" which has deservingly blown up. Rule sings well on the smooth laidback "Manuel". First track I have no caring for is "Get It Started" feat. Ciara. The Inc's newest member, R & B singer Lloyd drops in for "Caught Up" a semi-decent track which may be more appreciated by R & B fans. Things pick up again with the standout "Gun Talk", feeling the lyrics and beat to this cut. Ja Rule then hooks up with Giselle on "Never Thought", a decent collaboration. Ja Rule, Trick Daddy and Chink Santana pay tribute to those who have died on the impressive "Life Goes On". "Where I'm From" is an excellent track, Ja Rule goes deep talking about the ghetto, poverty, prison and death, while Lloyd provides a memorable chorus. The albums closer and longest track is the 8 minute "Passion", a track where Rule reflects on the events of the past year, delivering a powerful chorus while finishing his track by doing shout outs and giving thanks. Ja Rule has succeeded in delivering a solid album, following the formula of some of his early albums, I find this album to be step up from his past commercial releases (Pain is Love, Rule 3:36, Last Temptation). My favourite tracks are "New York", "Gun Talk" and "Where I'm from". By an artist's sixth album people should know what they feel about his work, I recommend "R.U.L.E" to those who appreciate his music.

This is the best Cd that Ja Rule has come out with in his whole career. I noticed his growth within the lyrics of the songs.
I also noticed that he has turned to God, and talks about him more than he ever has on this CD.
The songs are HOT no doubt.

17.Bout My Business 3:38 - 2/5 (Black Child and Cadillac Tah really makes this song sound tacky, really tacky.)
18.Passion 8:37 - 10/5 (this has to be the best song on the CD. this song is very personal. I just cant explain the feeling I have when I listen to this song. the lyrics are too deep)

so if you are reading this and you are thinking about buying this CD, you really should. This wont be a waste of your money because its worth every cent. TRUST ME

First and foremost, I'll admit just one year ago I hated Ja because of 50 Cent, that is until 50's rhymes get weaker and more pathetic from the G-Unit album to present day (especially his most recent diss tracks). With 50 losing his throne to Usher as the hottest artist of the year, this gave Ja a chance to improve his rhymes, which he did. I didn't think Ja could top Pain is Love, but I was hella wrong. R.U.L.E. is by far his best album, seriously. Just listening to the first 2 tracks made this record worth buying. My highlights for R.U.L.E. are; "Wonderful", "What's My Name", "New York", "The Manual", "Get It Started", "Life Goes On", and "Passion". Unless you still a hardcore fan of 50, get over your hater-self and cop this disc, you'll be taken back to the days of 2001-02 when you yourself was a Ja groupie.
