He was pushing out hits with Ashanti too. the problem with ja rule was that 50 cent was so well connected, industry ties was severed for murder inc. like if you choose ja rule you lose out on Eminem, Dre, 50 cent and the entire g unit and all the dudes he signed, than murder inc got caught up in federal cases for laundering money and he could never bounce back.
Because ja rule was just caught up in BS that he couldn't recover, because even after the beef he released an album that had some hits, wonderful and New York we're big songs back in the day. Like it's murder Incs fuckery that ruined ja rule, 50 cent situation didnt help but federal charges coming right at the time your record deal is up and than going to prison will fuck your career up.
