Ja Rule is the definition of underrated and unappreciated, this man single handling dominate the early 00s all by himself and deserves so much respect.
This song will officially be 22 years old tomorrow and still a banger🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I was 5 going on 6 in December, now I’m 27 going on 28. Music definitely changed a lot 😢 I fuckin miss these days. R.I.P to real music #BringBackRealMusic
@@itscali619 well, it's not about his records. He wanted to adopt pac's personality and style. Ja wore bandanas, used pac's lines in his songs (in an awkward way), pretended to be hardcore like pac and even talk like pac in interviews. It's nothing wrong to imitate someone, but ja just has a pac complex.
Ashanti is so under rated. She’s been my favourite since the early 2000’s. There is just something about her. So talented, so beautiful. She should be just as big as Beyoncé. She got screwed out of what should be hers.
Well Ashanti was basically a replacement by the music industry for the late iconic Aaliyah. She debuted in this video only one month after Aaliyah's death and the physical resemblance was uncanny. No doubt Ashanti was talented but I really think that's the reason she fell off. Same with Ja Rule and DMX as they were more or less replacements for 2pac. I've been telling people this for years.
Heard this song on the radio on a throw back. 20 years old!!! Time flies. I was 35 twenty years ago. I loved this song then, and I love it now. Music keeps us young.
21 then. 41 now. I turned 40 in 2020 of all years. There were times it seemed we wouldnt get out alive but we made it. Songs like this remind you when the world was NORMAL.
@@toosweetcallyyy7975 she did, no ones saying she didn't. My point was Ja Rule was writing his songs and literally could've had any singer in the industry to sing his hooks at that time, he was HUGE and the hottest artist out. Instead he put Ashanti on them (a girl no one knew) and that's how she blew up from Ja Rule records. Murder Inc was a family they didn't do that many features outside of the label.
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell type of chemistry. Ja Rule was in his element when Pain Is Love dropped. 361,000 albums in the 1st week & 4 million in a year. Insane. I was in middle school & I can't begin to describe the feeling I had when I listened to this CD in my stereo/discman on repeat. Incredible.
UA-cam is connecting the past and the present and I'm happy when such songs give me goosebumps and I recall how nice those songs were back in the day's and now
I really can't express how good and insanely better life was around this time,the early to mid-2000's. America was one country and politics was boring. When Ja says ,"We played harder" , holy s***, me and my friends would rag out our cars , party, hang out w our girlfriends,party somewhere else, we worked hard but partied harder. You didn't have to worry about getting blown away by cops , or anybody for that matter. Everything was basically 180° from where it is now. It might have been the best time in history for all i know. Im 42 now,this song is pure nostalgia
First one here from versus classic music always win . Congrats ja rule and Ashanti for a good win against a classic opponent fat joe . 90s artists are the Best . Fat joe 93 ja rule 99 . Cam'ron 98 THE LOX 96
everyone from Rockland County, NY went crazy when he said the line “I’m just outside of Jersey past the Palisades” Shoutout to all my Rockland people 🙌🏾
Ah shit I can’t believe Ja is about to come spit in my hometown. 36 and it’s finally happening. Ja, Yin Yang Twins and Ginuwine. Is this a dream? I used to cruise around in mom’s whip (borrowed it) at 3 AM when I was 14 listening to this shit on a cassette tape. I felt on top of the world! 😂
I was just a kid when this came out. I remember hearing this for the first time on my way to school. God I'm getting all nostalgic now, I miss those years.
The early 2000s will always have a special place in my heart! This Era will always be the best imo. Born 1991 i grew up on everyone 50, Eminem, Jlo, Missy, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher, those days can never be replicated!
Talent never dies if Ja Rule wanna continue creating hits, he can still do that is all up to him. Music is not like football there's no retirement age I'm talking from experiece my name is TRONIX MADIBE I'm a global music producer from South Africa since 1995 up until today I'm still creating hits.
Right after fast n furious. Ja rule was on fire back then. When I saw the music vid ending I was like aint that the fast n furious chik? Both of em were in the movie. Man that was it for me. Time flies shit
I honestly believe that if Ja Rule didn't get into a beef with 50cent & his team, he'd be looked at as one of the greats of Hiphop. He had so many bangers & was a serious dope rapper.
I mean I'm not super old, I'm 31 and I can't believe how much music has changed, I miss these times😥
I second that!!!! #GoodDay/Night
Me too 1991
Right 1990 31
Bro, yo I'm 35 and I'm wandering the same things as well!!!
Yeah. I keep coming here. These children now don't know how to sing

Nah she's not on Beyoncé's level vocal wise, dance wise etc. and she's not an allround entertainer. She did good on those hits tho.
