Ja Rule - Get the Money
Artist: Ja Rule
Producer: S.O./O.N Production
Album: Rennaissance Project
Label: Mpire Music
These are dark days for the man who once Ja Ruled the charts. (I apologize, that was a terrible pun.) Just when it looked like the former Murder Inc. don was possibly-maybe going to mount a comeback, his last feature Man Down received decent reviews from the Booth, Mr. Rule was sentenced to two years in prison on a gun charge. But before he goes behind bars Ja’s determined to follow T.I./Weezy’s lead and release as much new music as possible, including new street single Get the Money. S.O./O.N. Production provides the sonic backdrop here, giving Rule’s still rapsy voice a bouncing, clapping beat to rhyme over, and rhyme he does, filling his bars with the kind of swagged out, G6 flying lyrics we’ve grown so accustomed to - and perhaps tired of? That’s for you to decide in the comments below; have at it people. Any true personal or professional renaissance for Ja Rule will now be delayed two years, but that won’t stop his Renaissance Project album from dropping in March.

Folks have been clowning Ja for years, but I don't have any shame in admitting that I was a huge fan of his work for a good 5-6 years. His first two albums were excellent (especially his debut), but then he just fell off. Obviously, "Get the Money" isn't going to change that popular perception. Not sure if he has enough in him to change much of anything, but I hope he at least tries.

It will take a far more significant effort from Ja to make a comeback. With that being said, I. Honestly believe this is a solid starting point. I found positives in his production choice as well as a moderately catchy chorus.

Not bad, but I prefer the smoother joints from Ja, back in the day, like Down Ass Chick or Caught Up. I think his his music career is over.

I am a big Ja Rule fan and I support Murder Inc. However, I have to admit that he fell off especially after that 50cent fiasco.
With that said let me move to this track. I like it. It is catchy. I think its the wrong choice for a comeback joint. But if he was on top again and released this joint then I believe it would be in rotation. The fact is that we dont believe his braggadocious bravado here. |

If he's really going to get back on top Ja's going to have to come up with more original and remarkable music than this, but take away all the 50 beef and drama and, on a purely rap basis, this is actually decent.

I feel bad here because I can't get beyond the cheesy backing track. For all I know, Ja Rule just delivered the best performance of his life, but if so it was completely killed by a profoundly boring production.

That wasnt half as bad as i thought it would be, production was acceptable, verses were decent lyrically, coulda worked on the hook (sounds like a 2007 hook), overall a step in the right direction, but its gonna be a LONG while before anything "Rule related" gets into serious rotation, if ever
