This is actually debatable. I know niggas won't admit it, but it is.


I just read the tracklist and that shit is full of hits.

Top 4 Releases

 

[Ibex]

Get all the way the fuck outta here ja rule better yet Murder Inc has produced nothing classic

 

[5th Letter]

I hated Ja Rule during this era. The closet thing he has to a classic is VVV

 

[Goldie]

From an objective stance, I'm gonna say Classic cuz it checks off every box.

 

[BDBIID]

I don't remember none of those album cuts like that

 

[grYmes]

Nope. If it’s a classic of anything it’s for uppin the level of simping niggas try to portray as normal. I stand by the fact that his first album was his best album.

 

[Matike85]

Bump

 

[genocide_cutter]

VVV is better

 

[buttuh_b]

SMokin and Ridin and X was fire

 

[5 Grand]

I don't remember none of those album cuts like that

Cosign.

The singles got played on the radio 20X per day but I don't remember anybody saying the album was a classic.

However, according to Wikipedia, the album debuted at #1 and sold 3X platinum.

When you think about it, Pain Is Love was Ja Rule's third album and sold more than 50 Cent's third album. I'm just sayin...

Ja Rule outsold Jay Z in 2000 and 2001. In 2002 they both went double plat.


2000 Rule 3:36 - 3X Platinum
2001 Pain Is Love - 3X Platinum
2002 The Last Temptation 2X Platinum


2000 - Dynasty 2X Platinum
2001 - Blueprint 2X Platinum
2002 - Blueprint 2 - 2X Platinum



^^^ Those are facts. Having said that, I was never much of a Ja Rule fan. He had some songs I liked (mostly his radio singles). I wouldn't mind having a Ja Rule Greastest Hits album but I can't see myself buying any of his actual albums.


I Like Jay Z better but the fact is that Ja Rule was outselling Jay Z when Jay was at his peak.
