Ja Rule will not go platinum again. His music has been delayed for a while now and this prison time is going to make whatever he's been working on irrelevant. He's likely to scrap everything he's done and start over when he gets out. I'd say we are looking at another 4 years before he actually releases a new album. Maybe a little earlier if he gets out early. I will say this though. I think it's funny that I can look at rappers like Ja Rule in such a different light so many years later. Really shows you how the quality of rappers have taken a dive over the last decade. Ja looks like ****in Rakim next to Soulja Boy.

Cool video. Not a big fan of the song though.

He's been planning a comeback for years now. I think his career is pretty much over.

Did you say Young Berg, the most talented rapper of our generation, is on the tape?! Gonna have to get on this!!!

8 years ago this would have made me happy. Now, I don't really care. What's up with all these rappers going to the booty house so much?

B.O.B.'s album was alright, but I wouldn't say it was one of the top 10 of the year.

He goes for what's hot too much. To me, he is a talented guy that doesn't have any direction.

Cool, we can discuss the royalties/shout-outs I am owed.

Nice song. Definitely stands out in today's music. I'd like this to get radio play.

Would you say you're... Caught in the Middle?!

Well, I showed up at the time listed in the thread but nobody was on....

I will try to, yes.

She can flow... but too bad it sounds like an unintelligible mess half of the time she tries to demonstrate it. Take a Lil' Wayne verse where he mumbles along, speed it up 10x's and throw a pink wig on it and you've got Nicki Minaj. Her voice is annoying as hell too but that doesn't make a bad MC. It sure doesn't help though. In the end though, she's wasted potential to me. There's someone out there currently with the ability to flow and its completely wasted on weak content/wack associations/being just plain annoying.

I've seen this sort of thing so much from artists that I just don't care anymore. It's annoying as hell but I will not be stressing myself out about it if I don't intend on taking action.

Completely forgot, sorry about that. Did it end up happening? Tim, you have to remind me about these sorts of things. Here, let me give you my American phone number so that you can call me at any time...

It's a lot better than him not recording at all. I wanna hear the track now.

I like Christina Milian. To be clear: I like the way she looks.

Thanks for posting this.

This shouldn't be a surprise. This guy hasn't been able to stay out of jail for more than a few months over the last 2 years. I like a lot of X's music, but he is a ****-up. There's no other way to put it. And for some reason or another, I'm sure he won't be getting the T.I. "free-pass" on this case.

Well, I can't do it tomorrow. I have class and work. The listeners won't stand for a Chris-less podcast!

It's gotta be "spendin'" unless Ice Cube is stupid. I think one site wrote spinnin' because it kind of sounds like that. The others probably just copied the first site.

Here it is:

I completely disagree. It wasn't executed nearly as well as could have been. Ether is a constant verbal lashing. It makes Takeover look pretty amateur, IMO.

It's nice Brakes.

Nas KILLED Jay-Z in that battle. It's no contest. He did everything better in his song. His flow, content, hook, etc. all outdid Takeover. Sure he had the advantage of going second, but Jay's response to Ether wasn't as good either.
