** 1/2 Too $hort, “The Nasty Album,” Jive.
This song, which closes the album and clocks in at just more than two minutes, sums up the collection: not enough of the good stuff. Other artists pitching in for Ja Rule's new album include Case, Lil' Mo, Jayo Felony, Ty. Ja sounds best on “The Rule Won’t Die,” using a calmer delivery for most of the song and focusing his lyrics on his search for a way to understand the struggles people endure. The first single from 'Rule 3:36' is 'Between Me And You', featuring guest vocals from Christina Milian. Most of the other selections lack the punch of Ja’s earlier work, which was fashioned by stronger production and featured better lyrics. Ja rebounds with help from Jayo Felony and others on the funky “Extasy,” which describes the effects of the designer drug. But the delicate beat and Ja’s harsh delivery make for a sonic mismatch. The popular single “Between Me and You” sounds hokey, as the gruff-voiced Ja raps about his fulfilling relationship with a lady who, like Ja, is also involved in another relationship. / / Ja rule 336 album Ja rule 336 album Name: Ja rule 336 album File size: 432mb Language: English Rating: 6/10 Rule is the second studio album by American rapper Ja Rule it was released on October 10, by Murder Inc.

By accepting this call, you are responsible for all associated NCI charges, whether direct bill from NCI or as part of. You have a collect call from, Yo, it’s Chris Black,, an inmate at New York State Correctional Facility. Another cut is essentially a phoned-in rap from an incarcerated friend of the artist. Woman: Hello Operator: Hello, NCI, operator. It seems that Ja has borrowed more than a gruff voice and style from DMX and a topic matter from Jay-Z he has also borrowed their ability to drop a hot chart-topping single every year like clockwork. Although the second album from the New York rapper boasts 16 selections, five of them are under 2 1/2 minutes.
