    Ja Rule was fresh and something 2 years back. But now he's gone and made himself look like an idiot by releasing this album... It's just one huge attempt to get people to hate 50, Em and Dre. Maybe He'll come back better next time.

    Not as good as 50 or Em. Not a bad try though. If he concentrated on rappin, rather than shitty dissin' then it would have been better.

    hussein fatal made this album hot . I was a aftermath fan but ja defintely made them look like fools for starting this beef .yeah thats right 50s started this beef. I dont like ja but I bought this cd cause hussein fatal was on it. Ive lost all respect for aftermath all of them are scared of hussein fatal and havnt said anything to fatal. ja defintely won this beef.

    I Would of give this album a 10 but it has too many skits, If it had atleast 15 to 18 songs a 10 would be provided, This album is a DEFINITE CLASSIC, Dont be put off my previous reviews and the people who have dissed this album are people who claim to be 'hip-hop-headz' but only listen to the likes of EM & 50. JA destroy's SHADY in this classic album and even throws in a I Would of give this album a 10 but it has too many skits, If it had atleast 15 to 18 songs a 10 would be provided, This album is a DEFINITE CLASSIC, Dont be put off my previous reviews and the people who have dissed this album are people who claim to be 'hip-hop-headz' but only listen to the likes of EM & 50. JA destroy's SHADY in this classic album and even throws in a few metaphors for you people who REALLY listen to the lyrics! SHADY RECORDS fans will diss this album but if you listen to HIP HOP of a wide range you will find this album is a classic and realise you dont just have to listen to EM, DRE & 50. Consistabt production is supplied on this album so COP IT AND GET OFF SHADY DICK, EXPAND YA EARS IF YOU REALLY LIKE HIP HOP LIKE YOU CLAIM YOU DO!… Expand

    I think the album can be listen to,I think though that ja rule should not let 50 cent bother him.Because everyone in the wood knew that 50 cent is a bad minded,jealous and envious bitch. He only picked on ja rule becase he saw a card that he could pull on him.He's talking about ja not being a thug because he sings in a r&b style or pattern.

    Andrew: What are you talking about? 50 Cent has been a thousand times more popular this year than that faggot Ja. And for your information, Ja was the one that started the feud with 50. Anyone in the hood knows that Ja Rule sucks and is fake. Down with this bubblegum rap.

    Consists almost entirely of antagonistic digs at 50, Eminem and Dr Dre, none of which are terribly sharp. [Jan 2004, p.105]

    As refreshing as it is to hear Ja do something besides the singing approximation he's been practicing the past few years, the boasts here feel utterly tired.

    A dull slog with a dearth of hooks and a surfeit of gangsta cliches. [21 Nov 2003, p.87]
