DMX Vs Ja Rule - What Happened? 

I fuck with Ja but lyrically, he can't be included in the same conversation as X

Ja never went platinum twice in a year. Only Dmx & Pac. And pac wasn’t alive to see the second one

Jay-Z wasn’t bigger than DMX.

@@valvenis2601 Hell if we're being honest, most of Ja's hit songs are features. He only has like 3 or 4 solo songs that were hits. Ashanti was mainly the reason why he had hit records

Are you guys high? He was consistently going platinum. Killing the game.

He not with no angel bro . We are butterflies he already reincarnated, you just don’t know it

@@quincyjackson1950 you must be the omniscient being huh?

@@darealheisman6505 both of y’all corny

DMX is the truth

Yes hi Is that because of ALLAH !! ONELOVE

They sound exactly alike, bc one was copying the other

The way the video started was so funny 😭

DMX was also crazy.

​@@FindMe04No doubt about that! 😄

​@@FindMe04what is crazy...Define what you think a crazy person is

That POWER 105 call in interview didn't even sound like DMX

Hella hard

X ain't never murdered anyone. Dude was a local crack head named crazy earl in his hood. Used to snatch purses on a daily. Great artist but facts are facts and he was bugging for going at Ja the way he did. That "taking my style" bs was a joke. Ja never rapped like him.

That and "Stuart Little ni$$as don't want no static, when they say who shot JR, it won't be Dallas." Barzzzzzz 🔥🔥🔥. Listening to that album forever and I've never caught that bar in that song💪💯

First time hearing a snippet of that. X zoned out on that one 😮‍💨😳!

@@dboslice what song was that again??

Ja sounds like his time as well as his time’s fashion. He has similarities to DMX and Pac mostly. Ja started following the sound of Hollis meaning LL!

He couldnt help how his voice sounded

I agree. I think their beef was just a misunderstanding.

They 1st albums were similar

@@heat0252 We can't say the LL sh*t wasn't smart AF tho until 50 came along. Also why LL is a major legend can F you up on some battle rap sh*t + the only ninja who can get away with low-key being a R & B rapper. This the angle Drake played yet his ass damn sure ain't no battle rapper L's take that in my Puff voice

Even though Ja ended DMX career, I still respect him. I don’t even care that X lost this beef.

@@BlackFaithProduction Ja never ended DMX career and if you think he did, please explain how. DMX is stoned in hip hop, DMX ended his own career. He did it his way, no other man made his choices

​@@BlackFaithProduction bro how tf Ja ended X's career? Get back to reality.

@@BlackFaithProduction Ja never ever ended Dmx career, the only thing that ended Dmx career was the drugs, no one can destroy a career like the one of dmx besides himself, he was and is a Legend

​@@BlackFaithProduction stop the drugs

Stay strong young brother

@@selfsavior I appreciate it

Went through the same shit so I know how tough it is but on that same note there is light on the other side I hope your dad finds it as well. Keep your head up and likewise stay strong

My pops went thru the same stuff.. one day he woke up and said he didn’t want that life anymore and he got help.. he’s been clean for over 10yrs now and he’s a completely different person (much nicer person). I pray one day your dad takes that step and can get the help he needs.. blessings to you and your pops 🙏🏽

I know how tough it is to quit the rock but there’s hope at the other side I’m 11 years clean yesterday I did crack for 20 years and I’m sober today and every day forward it’s not worth it believe me when I tell that

You edited the response and still misspelled deny..GTFOHWTBS

@honestbrute9216 I guess you're perfect! You don't ever fuck up! Get your goofy ass on!

Both wanted to be like pac

He is the greatest rapper of all time

He isn't THE goat but he is a top 5 overall contender. His only weakpoint was longevity.

His peak was higher than anyone.

He had a great career, but top five is a perspective.

@@aholmes74ah 50 had a bigger peak

What the hell does that even mean ? “A real one that happens to rap” … if you’re a fan that’s cool but cmon man just stop with the silly comments

@@TheNaz1996 what it means to the mentally impaired, no offense, is rap wasn't first in his life,

Facts

​@@drew5700you're point did not need further explanation...ignore the troll

@@drew5700 no the crack was

Jigga man a bum though

And stupid Diddy Puff Puffy.. ..Mr. Love 😅

You gotta be kidding lol Jay-Z havent done much so he aint as big as people say he is if you look at his history. DMX is a league above Jay and Ja is even lower than that XD

@@shadoemerald2633 hey man back in the day I definitely was bumping way more X and Ja than Jay. Vol 2 and 3 had some bangers and unsurprisingly both X and Ja killed it on those collabs. Ja's verse on Can I Get A was better than Jay's

Jay is the one who really fucked him over not ja

@@T.Maximus How? Jay seen his ways and didnt want to be apart of it, they were just industry friends

@@FAMIZ26 you really don't know? Jay's punk ass became president of def jam where x was, he told x I got you.mthen turned around n shelfed his album n wouldn't let him put his singles out. X had to make another album, Jay snaked him. There's interviews with x ranting about it on youtube

@@FAMIZ26 they weren’t just industry friends but DMX still had bad habits and like Tupac X found it hard to trust people so distancing himself was a smart move in Jay’s part especially since he’s tried to help X on multiple occasions.

​@@T.Maximus Crack fucked over DMX!!!! Not Jay or Ja if we being honest cuh🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

That's it that's all

Better, Eminem & 50 Cent murdered Ja Rule!

Stole from X and Pac.

Yea cause x invented going shirtless

Ja sounded the same before he came across DMX in cash money

@@danbruno5945look up cash money click get the fortune. He does not sound the same

@@danbruno5945let’s be real DMX was lowkey jealous of Ja. He came outta nowhere dissing him. I never thought they sounded alike. Just two gruffy voices.

To be honest both wasn't good lyrically it was just energy and song content

@@nicksandz3209 you are right but ja a better rapper

​@@4nem485 that's cap.

​@@nicksandz3209 Ja could never match X's energy though, nor was his content as good.

@@wweghorstgoldbridgesgreatest I'm not debating that, I'm just saying they both wasn't good lyrically

the same reason for tupac vs biggy and 50 cent vs ja rule

@@neonfroot 50 Cent and Ja Rule wasn't a misunderstanding.

Nahhhh not a misunderstanding. It's what happens when street niggaz collide with a fraud. You can only pretend so long and Ja is a notorious fraud. But he talks like he's really built like that. Oh and u cant forget the drugs, ja was X'd out and X was smoking that shit.

@@DetrickfrmWF ja dissed Busta and DMX when he dissed 50 and them

@@AdrianRamirez-fb4kv DMX actually dissed Ja because people were telling him that Ja was trying to steal his style which wasn't true

Tell 50 that cause he doesn’t like Ja 50 only got known in the game by picking on Ja and saying Murder Inc isn’t a real record label cause of Ashanti was over there 50 says there should be no R&B artists at Murder Inc the only reason Ja and Irv had R&B over there is cause for 1 Ja didn’t want people to think he was biting DMX’s style Ja was accused of it the 2nd reason is cause Ja did R&B type rap for singles & radio friendly purposes but 50 was running his mouth about Murder Inc not being a real record label cause of R&B artist who was signed over there 50 copied Ja by taking his shirt off & singing on tracks like Candy Shop 21 questions Best Friend which is a rip off of what Ja did 50 is a hypocrite

@@torianmcneill3794 I agree with everything you said👍

@@mg19cal I never liked 50’s music my mom had Rule 336 album Ja Rule wins in my book he can’t help it his voice sounds like that even when he’s not rapping 50 is full of jealousy I never liked 50’s music at all Irv worked at Def Jam to make sure DMX got signed Ja got signed around the same time X was signed I love both DMX and Ja plus Ja met X when X’s mouth was wired even though they had beef they decided to end it cause that’s what friends do

​@@torianmcneill3794 Ja is lost. Get in reality. Ja has never won any beefs. Puff Daddy and his boyfriend play toy Ja belong together. Lol.

@@Anidawehi I never said Ja won any beefs of course he lost to 50 but 50 used Ja to get in the game Ja was in Cash Money Click before he met DMX his voice changed in 96’/97 that’s when he sounded like DMX then Ja changed his style after he got accused of stealing X’s style then 50 said Jay put you on X made you hot but Can I Get A was actually supposed to be Ja’s song but Jay Z wanted it plus they was in a group called Murder Inc before Murder Inc became a record label

on my momma if that shit was on an album it would be as respected as Ether or sum

Bruh iykyk

La la la 😂😂😂😂

I like to believe it wasn't that serious abd was mostly for entertainment.

Lyor pitted them against each other for money.

​@@DBZAOTA482 its all marketing cash in is the name of the game controversy sells.

Ja alienated most people and never was deemed authentic. Still isn’t, Fyre Fest was a joke but his excuses epitomise his personality.

Facts br0... people act like Ja wasn't the eish in the early 2000's 😒

Kato’s girl ended up marrying one of the Flores Twins after he was murdered.

X and Ja squashed beef and made up

@@torianmcneill3794 yeah they did, but X was still talking that same shit about Ja.

@@youtubeaccount458 X forgot Ja has that raspy voice like he did

Then here’s comes 50 saying ja was tryna be pac

@@kendawg8085 50 is hypocrite he has album covers with his shirt off like Ja and he sings on songs like Candy Shop 21 questions Best Friend

Preme wasn't going at x dude. That was a 50 thing

Ja never once asked preme to help him. Not with X or 50. Ja literally put hands on 50 multi times.

@@youtubeaccount458 they fought each other a couple times. Him and 50. Preme helped ja get his chain back from big nose troy. And gave 50 cent two watches for ja rules chain when 50 cent took it when they were in Atlanta trying to squash the beef. He shot the life on the line music video wearing ja rules chain. 50 cent his ja rule and took his chain because ja rule had a bat.

@@T.Maximus I know but in general preme was always protecting ja rule whenever ja rule was in new york.

@@youtubeaccount458 50 Cent says Murder Inc. aren't murderers and got no hood in them. These being the same people who beat him up, stabbed him & Tony Yayo and nearly got him murdered, yet all his stans believe what 50 Cent says because they wanna be bias rather than accept the truth and look at the facts

And you are not even known as important basically a nobody

Yeh that ballerina 🩰 lol pac would get slapped up and robbed for his nose ring on my estate

​@@ski8615suuuuure 😂. Keep telling yourself that.

@@ski8615 😫😫😂😂

Beo exactly what I was thinking...

Ever!!!

@@Ninobeige yeah check all time album sales He's up there and one of my favorites

He was bigger from 2000-2001. In those years rule was the biggest rapper in the world. No one had more chart topping hits than rule.

@@cashmontoks radio play which can be paid for is 100% different than album sales

@@cashmontoks You heard him more...DMX was making movies. Whole different level of stardom.

😂😂😂😂tell em

Big facts

True. Ja's biggest mistake was talking about how DMX and Jay-Z didn't do the video

@@brandonmuse5532 yep

Indeed!

Ja is Ja...DMX is DMX

EVERRRRRRR💪🏾

Also Irv Gotti will never be better than Swizz Beats

​@@mitijr2031 Swizz Beats overrated as f

Naw, X went at Ja first. I'm a fan of both but these are facts.

@@demarkogoodman3687 "Easy going but the same one that started the fight." 🔥🔥🔥🤣. X knew he started it and for a valuable reason. K Solo stole his style with Spellbound and Ja sound was sounding a little similar. Now I will admit that their styles are different ofc. X persona was grimly and aggressive, Ja was mostly party hits and hype man music. But voice wise, idk because Ja did call himself the next Pac (hell no), so it's possible that he was trying to be like X in a way.

​@@dboslice you're literally just making up stories. Ja was hype man music? Lol, clearly never listened to a Ja Rule album before. And Ja never said he was the next 2pac.

@@youtubeaccount458he didn’t explicitly say it but he was implying he was the new Tupac.

@the honorable, holy, & almighty welch absolutely false. Go ahead and provide proof to that bs.

Agreed I love them both the same tbh😂

Haha ja is wack got killed by DMX 50 n em 🤣 fuck ja

Lmao wanna be pac

VVV sounds like him and also few songs on 3.36 "One of us" he sounds just like Dark man X😂

@danbruno5945 one of us wasn't even on VVV, and no he didn't sound just like dmx. Not at all. Bs reaching. 🤡

People are just sheep, they jump on bandwagons we all know they sounded completely different

@@GodmadeTrends Ja Also sounds like DMX if you listen to the intro of Pain is Love Police sirens and bells going off "Here we go again baby" ...."race to pain" He has that same action movie vibe and deep voice

@iron man that's true.

I don't think it was as much the sound as it was the flow.

​@@LimaKiloRomeo their flows are completely different.

X didn't like anyone who was competition. Why you think he hated Jay z? Irv said the real reason the Murder Inc group (X, Ja, Jay) never happened was because X hated Jay z. Throughout dmx's career he was constantly attacking Ja and Jay with subliminals and sometimes direct. X was amazing during his prime but he really was a low key hater.

@@youtubeaccount458 I can see that. X kind of did isolate himself from the popular competition. Tho i think the L.O.X. was better, he always was cool with them, but they weren't as commercially popular, so that makes sense.

NO HE REALLY ISN'T

@Kenneth Robinson he is, his flow was nasty and made hard music. He had a good run, selling crazy amounts of records.

50 is the reason Jah isn't "respected " enough

@@jamesmaisiri5848 That should tell you all you need to know

@@rakimtheking HIS FLOW WAS AVERAGE AT BEST AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE REALLY RAPPING ABOUT BESIDES MONEY, WOMEN, THINGS HE WASN'T ABOUT AND BITCHS.

Exactly. X just didn't like anyone who could potentially take the spotlight away from him. Hated Jay z as well for no reason.

@@youtubeaccount458 know your facts before you speak please

@@bojangles19 that's exactly what I did, spoke facts. Clearly you don't know much about X. Dude was an amazing artist but he was a low key hater. He hated Jay z because he was competition at def jam and people were saying Jay won the battle they had. Hated Rule because he was competition. X also started hating Sean Paul and literally a whole genre of music (reggae) because Sean Paul didn't wanna put him on his remix and instead put busta rhymes on it. Oh and last but not least dmx hated 2pac even though he never met him and Pac never said anything to him ever or even knew he existed. He said 2pac can suck his D***.

@@youtubeaccount458 all they had similar was deep raspy voices. Rule can't change that

He copied ad libs and looked like a Tupac clone. It was a time when originality was everything.

who's DJ khaled?

It was jah song jayz asked for the song and gotti told jay he gotta ask jah for the song cause it was his record jayz a leech

​@@sincere1014THANK YOU❤

VVV sounded like DMX especially "one of us"

His diss track Bully is only towards Ja though. Kinda hard to miss but still!

Em dissed ja as well as obie trice

@@johnnyTimothyRokket Em only dissed Ja in the final line of his verse, the rest of his verse was him dissing Benzino and Obie's verse on Go To Sleep was him backing Em's beef with Benzino

@@Sevvi79 The first verse on Bully was Em going at Benzino but Em's second and third verses on Bully was him dissing Ja.

@@manis1551 Obie threw shots at ja on there as well

I hate that too love rule😊

@@timothyflowers5039 obviously yalls favorite rapper tried to be like pac

I don't mean no disrespect, I just have to disagree with that cuz they made two different types of songs, and furthermore let's not act like Jay-Z did not try to act like no tories

when a man angry let him be they’ll see they was tripping lol

@yankee wz . That's a fact.

Cause DMX felt Ja was sounding like him which Ja didn’t sound like him

​@@torianmcneill3794 X never truly thought that, it was just an excuse to start going at him.

@@youtubeaccount458 at least they squashed their beef before X died

Ja Rule stood his ground and was also fighting a huge federal case. It took multiple rappers, their crews and the federal government to bring him down. Plus 50 Cent and his crew were the ones getting hurt in the streets when it came to that beef and even Violator records (50 Cent's management label) & Busta Rhymes's GMC Suburban SUV got shot up but everyone wants to act like Ja Rule & Murder Inc. were soft and taken out by one person

​@@steve-ie6juI know rite. They weren't scared of 50, n definitely not scared of emeinem.

​@@steve-ie6ju talk that shit bro. That's what I been saying all these years.

​@@T.Maximus oh they were. They wouldn't be associating with a dude who had interest in erasing 50 if that wasn't the case. Get real.

@@wweghorstgoldbridgesgreatest dude go water some flowers or some

Ja's first album sounds a bit like X. I remember living in NY at the time and people in the streets were saying that he sounded like him. But once he dropped Always on time, he lost that hard rough sound from his first album.

Bruh he sounds exactly like DMX, and its so aggravating I would punch him!

Pac didn’t have a deep voice at all

@@rick1975100 yes he did. Df you on?

Kato

You do know it started with a fan asking X what’s up with that dude sounding like you X pointed at Ja sitting in the back of the vehicle behind X X said that’s him right there then X started to believe that then him & Ja started having beef with each other but they ended it years later just like Eminem believed what 50 said about Ja then Ja & Eminem had beef too

​@@torianmcneill3794basically a fan/fans started the beef.

@@antoiner3820 I know cause X said in a song remember we rocked the crowd Ja looked up to X

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

You see it now because you’ve been swayed. Your original perception is probably the real one, the truth is X was clearly bitter that his hype man blew up. He was high on crack, career was in decline and ego hurt

@@GodmadeTrends when did DMX need a hypeman? I don't know that I've ever seen him on stage with one

Bc Ja was top dog at the time. That's why the original Murder Inc. didn't get off the ground bc of egos. Same here. People got in X ear and made him believe Ja was imitating him and watching him be successful made him envious. Plus the fact that X was high on Crack made it worse

@@mr.enrike2564 But Ja was never bigger than X. He never outsold X's first four albums. That run from X is still talked about to this day.

@@kh7688 I disagree. From 2000-02 ja was more popular. His songs were charting higher than Xs. DmX just had a more loyal following

​@@mr.enrike2564what does the crack have to do with it? DMX was ALWAYS addicted to crack...he was already addicted to crack when he was discovered..

@trevorhoffler-xu5bq everything. Ever seen a crack head? They show erratic behavior where they are not in the right head space. It added to the beef where his first instinct was to fight instead of talking it out.

Damn straight, X was just different, no one like him then, no one like him ever again !

I've never confused the two of them.. now felt like Ja has try to sound like pac.

@@T.Maximus agreed.

​@T.Maximus I felt like Ja tried to look more like Pac than anything. The tattoos on the chest and back being similar, the bandanas and etc.

No they sound totally different

50 started it cause of the jealousy 50 will never squash beef with Ja at least Ja and X squashed their beef before X died R I P DMX

50 and ja went to far to ever squash it

@@EnvySZN_ not to mention the fact 50 copied Ja Rule right after he dissed him for singing on tracks but then 50 did the same thing

ja a grown ass man who’s responsible for his own choices. he said in a interview that if 50 came after him he was going after the whole aftermath including Dr. Dre, Eminem, & of all people Busta Rhymes who had absolutely nothing to do with that beef. he also was participating in the beef wih dmx just throwing stones and hiding his hands. people gotta do research before making an opinion.
