    JaRule is not only sounding good but hes looking good to! What else can u ask for? This time around his c.d. has alot more love songs but w/o the mushy beat. All his songs are poppin and the beat is off the hook. Plus his remixes w/ J.Lo and him featuring girls on his songs makes it alot phatter.

    this album was weak. Venni Vitti Vicci was the best album i've ever heard, but his albums keep on getting worse and worse.

    Too bad scores don't go into the negatives. Ja Rule is a faggot and he sucks ass. Tell this cookie monster to go to hell, his music sucks, and he aint pac.

    His lyrics were "Aight" but he needs to stop trying to be 2pac. He cant imitate a legend. Hopefully Pain is love 2 is good cuz ive been waiting for a awhile

    Ja Rule's only real gift is for crafting undeniable pop hooks. That talent is underrated, but it still does little to cover up the rapper's derivative lyrics and crassly recycled 2Pacisms.

    Ja Rule seems to be more interested in movin' on up (to the pop side) than keeping grounded on the gangsta grid.

    The only problem is that Ja's ear for a hit has begun to make his straight street-level efforts less enticing.
