Without DMX, there would be no Ja Rule. When the gravelly voiced Dark Man X bum-rushed the rap world, he paved the path for a whole slew of next-generation leathernecks with flows to match. That being said, Rule is a worthy adversary for his oft-maligned peer, managing to combine DMX's signature stuttery, acerbic flow with just a hint of Jay-Z's flash and wit. The production, handled largely by Irv Gotti, is trademark New York thug style, suiting Rule's grumbles to a T. Yet amid the tales of "murda" (and there are many), there are some moments of insurgent sunshine. "Race Against Time" is the thug's lament, no less potent for its obligatory nature. And on "Let's Ride," Rule winks at the ladies, telling them "My style is so touching, it'll wipe your eye." To boot, he prints his lyrics in the booklet, an all-too-rare phenomenon in rap. Caesar he ain't, but emperor for a day? Certainly. --Jon Caramanica

This a very impressive debut album from Ja Rule. He mixes up his tracks with street records along with some commercial appeal which goes nicely together. Check it out if your a fan of Ja Rule, DMX, Murder Inc or New York hip hop.

Your man says there would be no Ja Rule without DMX? Ja Rule was doing that style way before DMX, and any real writer or fan would know that. ever heard of Cash Money Click? Ja Rule has been in the game for a minute...
And he shows it on this hot "debut" as he teams with Irv Gotti and Erick Sermon for head cracking turns. Who couldn;t feel this album?
Basically i aint here to review, only to let you know content matters--SO EMPLOY SOME WRITERS WORTH THEIR MONEY email me at darience@yaho.com if you need some.
