F*ck Ja-Rule.
Write your OWN damn music.

Ja-Rule..... ain't nobody checking for Ja no more... nobody cares about his music or his feelings... and for Seven he's still riding Prince's DICK

HA HA! sounds like JA-Rule got dissed.

What obligation has Prince to clear a sample for anyone -- let alone Cookie Monster's Ja Rule's no-talent, wannabe thug, soon-to-be-working-at-Burger King butt?

I'm glad Prince said no on this one.

1. Isn't it Prince's right to reject or refuse a use of a sample for his music, just like it would be for any original artist who actually wrote the music?

2. Did Tupac and Dr. Dre get clearances for the Prince samples they used, and why is Ja using the same song that PAC used for one of his post-humous songs?
Can't this guy buy an original idea?

3. Who fucking cares about Ja anymore? He was so soundly beat and shut down by 50 and Eminem that he couldn't sell whiskey to a drunk guy, why waste your time listening to him again?

Damn.

Tell Ja-Rat to sit his ass DOWN somewhere and never come back again.

I can understand prince fans being mad at Ja but i'm trying to understand the hip hop fans hating on the guy. When the
guy first came out doing his thing and the hot collabos with J Lo, Ashanti,
Lil Mo,etc. everyone was down with it. Then this rabbit tooth wanna be thug
who ignorantly brags about being shot nine times comes on the scene and disses ja as well as other rappers and all of a sudden he is the shit and all of a sudden ja is a fake gangster rapper and soft because he does collabos with females. Then 50 goes out and do the same shit with 21 questions. Are you kidding me? All this does is show how fickle modern day hip hop fans are.
Just ride with the guy with the hot hand(selling records)and forget about
artistic valya. For the record Ja isn't doing himself any favors by picking
on music royalty.

Who cares? He's shit hop trash. It ain't like he's somebody worth a damn. When the shit hoppers start liking Prince, that's when it's time to worry.

Fuck Ja Rule.

Fiddy put Ja's rapping career into the grave. He needs to leave Prince alone, hang up his mic, and try out for Dancing with the Stars or some VH1 reality show.

So he samples Prince and rips off 2Pac 4 the title and he's the one that's mad?

TQ did a remake of Pop Life called "Thug Life" already.

That dude has a "dumbass IQ of 700". Just plain fucking stupid. He can't even diss rappers anymore because he was busted as a pussy for SINGING love songs with that Cookie Monster voice.

Ja rule's rat looking self needs to stay out of the music industry. It's just not for him.

What ever happened to the sample set? 7 discs $700?

this whole thing....I would like to see more rapper commentary on Prince.

Ugh. Just... no. No way.
@ Ja Rule

Is this 2002?

Ja still think it is.

vainandy said:

Where have you been?!? Some of the rap artists before Ja Rule's time were undercover Prince fans (Egyptian Lover, anyone?!?).

2pac & MC Hammer were real die-hard Prince fans. Even when some hip-hop & rap critics were bashing Prince, Pac & Hammer still had nothing but respect for the man. That is THE only reason why Prince never had a problem with those guys sampling his music.
