ja rule used to be real hip-hop with hot joints like "Holla-Holla" and "How many wanna die with me" thats when he was copying DMX's style almost exactly. The second he tried to develop his own "style" he just ended up singing backup on his own songs. He also made like 16 songs with chicks that were doing all the rapping and are pretty much why anyone would listen to his songs. Ja Rule is as wack as they come.
