Ja Rule - Never Had Time
Artist: Ja Rule
Producer: 7 Aurelius
Album: Pain is Love 2
Label: Mpire Music
I’m sure there are a lot of things that Ja Rule wishes he had done before he began his two year prison bid for tax evasion and weapons charges, like ride a giraffe or eat at Wing Stop with Rick Ross. I’m sorry, that’s what I would have done before I got locked up. Thankfully for listeners, Rule has a much better list of things that he Never Had Time to do before his lockup. Enigmatically named producer 7 Aurelius crafts a simultaneously celebratory and somber beat, laying bouncing percussion over a haunting piano line – call it regret you can nod your head to. Vocally Ja Rule is as raspy as ever, pausing to occasionally croon amidst rhymes that detail a love that never had the chance to blossom given Rule’s demanding schedule and constant globetrotting. If you’re looking for more from the currently incarcerated emcee you’re in luck. His new album Pain Is Love 2 is set to drop in January of 2012, while his official single Real Life Fantasy arrives at iTunes on December 13. In the meantime, press Listen Now on this one – don’t ever say you never had the time to listen to new music.

I know that Ja planned to release this album before he learned that he'd be locked up (shout out to Ja if you're reading this in a prison computer lab), but they should have just rushed the release before he was sentenced. I feel like they are setting the project up for failure without his needed availability. Lets be honest, he needs to rehab his image more than his ability to rap or make quality music.
Ja and 7 sound good together, but this is far from their best work together.

The singing on this joint was terrible. The beat would have been good for someone, but not really for a gritty rapper like Ja Rule. This is the wrong direction for him to take right now. I think its a shame because he may actually be able to comeback, but not with this...

Good production. That's about it. Beat alone reminds me of 'Changes'...
