R.U.L.E. 2004 Album

Ja Rule

'Last of the Mohicans' is a terrible opener. The following 'Wonderful' is a classic pop-rap tune, and probably Ja's best in my opinion, largely thanks to the legend that is R. Kelly. 'What's My Name' is another mess. While 'Wonderful' is one of Ja's best pop-rap tracks, 'New York' is one of his better hardcore singles which is connected to the 50 Cent beef. From there, 'The Manual', 'Get It Started' and 'Caught Up' are passable generic pop-rap songs. Elsewhere, 'Gun Talk' and ''Bout My Business' are reasonable gangster rap songs. And it ends with an eight-minute introspective song from Ja. After unfortunately losing the 50 beef (Ja>50), and releasing this album, Ja hasn't and probably never will be a mainstream rapper. This is one of his worst projects. If you've heard the singles you aren't missing much. Best Tracks: Wonderful, New York, Gun Talk, 'Bout, My Business
