      I know it started with a fan asking X what up with that dude who sounds like you X pointed at Ja in the back sitting behind X X said that’s him right then X believed what the fan said about Ja sounding like him then X & Ja had beef for a while but they ended it years later it was a misunderstanding

    Both of them have nostalgic timeless hits. I couldn't imagine DMX in the place of Ja's songs and vice versa. Ja was right. They both had deep voices and pulled from their diafram like Pac. Ja was suited moreso for r&b and DMX brought aggressive club confrontational vibes. They both had their own lanes even though they had deep tones.

    I like Jah, I never thought he sounded like X... (Jah = "Oscar the Grouch", DMX = "Doom Guy" fighting a legion of demons) BUT at the beginning of this video... DMX kept it simple and to the point "YOU ALIVE CUZ OF ME"... then Jah pops up next, shirtless, talking about being a star... NO COMPETITION... DMX all day everyday, and I still like Jah but I'mma always avoid picking sides, it's no question I don't even mentally have a Jah vs. DMX... I'm more like "HOW?" its like trying to fathom how a giraffe would fight a Bengal Tiger...? They both big, but one, kills shht to survive... the other one, just want to live... and also "Murda Inc" JayZ DMX Jah is still one of the meanest songs ever!!!

    Ja literally did EVERYTHING to prove he wasn't copying dmx, he dressed differently, he grew out his hair, he started singing and making a different style of music... and dmx still kept saying that dumb ish lol. Not one single song did Ja Rule rap like dmx not even on his first album. And he was always rapping the same way even before he met dmx and before anyone knew who dmx was when he was in a group called Cash Money Click in the early 90s.
    Dmx was a great artist but that dude was a hater. He didn't like anyone who was competition.
    20 years later X was still on that hate ish, still mad, still tryna convince people he was right. That proves he was hating.
