Imagine being a diehard ja rule fan in 2005, falling into a coma, and waking up to see him doing Uber and Gyro commercials

Imagine going against 50 Cent, Eminem, Dr Dre and DMX at the same time and thinking you gonna come out on top

Rapping aside, 50's trolling and meme game is clearly superior. 🤣

Ja Rule: "I'm removing myself for the beef" Also Ja Rule: "he's a bad father, he has a square head, and he looks like he has bad breath... the beef is forever".

_Ja Rule turned 50 Cent into A Dollar._

I remember when 50 cent bought 150+ tickets to ja rules concert so the theatre could be empty

"We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happening" -Eminem

50 was my first favorite rapper .. I remember getting his debut album for my birthday. Just to know he sold more than 6 million copies! INSANE

Meh this Trap Lore Ross guy is washed up. I’m gonna go head to my new favorite youtuber, Trap More Ross

Bruh 50 Cent outsold Ja’s entire discography with get rich or die tryin’ in the end of 2003....LMAOO💀🤦🏾‍♂️

Man, I forgot about that early 50 track where dude disses the entire rap game, before anyone even knew who he was. Dude was a troll from the very beginning, and I fucking love it

Having been too young to experience the mixtape era, I now realize how much music from these dudes I’ve never heard before, only studio albums and singles.

Thank you for including the Dave Chappelle, Ja Rule joke.. such an underrated part of Ja’s catalogue

TLR: Im doing this from Ja's perspective Also TLR: "Robbed like a bitch" "Punched in his stupid face"

Ross, this is some of your best work. I come back to this every now and then to enjoy the story again. Really think this is going to be watched for years to come 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That's solid of Ja Rule to do that for the businesses suffering during Covid. I salute that

50 Cent buying the front 10 rows at a Ja Rule show and sitting alone in the middle is one of the best FUs ever!!!

Ja life changed once he heard the words “go shawty, it’s ya birthday” 😭😭😭

I love the commentator. He's very informative and charismatic, somewhat hilarious, but it's natural in a way how he keeps the video stimulated and interesting to watch.

Ive seen this vid multiple times but i can always watch it. I remember every step of the beef from back when it happened. But man, Ross is really good at what he does. My lord, his framing and sneak comments while explaining make me laugh. Its all spot on and funny af. And the detail and balance of it all is remarkable as well.

Them ja rule skits are straight classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Ja Rule Duets skit was the funniest skit/interlude of all time

People shoulda followed Jay-Z example. For the most part he just ignored 50. He knew he really didn't have beef with all these rappers, he was just trying to make an opportunity for himself. I mean it was brilliant and Ja took the bait over and over again. I honestly wished they both could have just coexisted because they both made good music.

It’s crazy that Eminem,50, and Dre are still relevant to the point that they performed at the SuperBowl and Ja Rule is literally no where to be seen on the face of the earth 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

Think about how confident and secure Ja was around 2001… his album debuted at #1, his enemy was now anonymous, shot 9 times and not dissing him anymore. There was practically no way he would ever have to worry about him again…

Ja's talent was undeniable, but he was never a savvy businessman. He was never forced to come up with brilliant strategy. At his best, all he ever did was ride a wave with his eyes closed.

39:10 Correction, Go to Sleep was a Benzino diss track. The only line Eminem had toward Ja Rule was “Ja, you’ll get it too,” which means he wasn’t the primary target. That was just a warning shot. 23:09 50 was calling Jada local, not Ja. The only “diss” to Ja in that song was in the music video, where his face is on an arcade game called “Murder Inc.” that’s out of order.

Absolutely awesome and through video, covering every aspect of this exciting beef I grew up with. Only place I would correct, is even though Ja gets a mention on 'Go to Sleep', it was mostly aimed at Benzino (where Em angrily references 'speak on my seed' as he had recently done).

the 2000s-2008s were such good years for music, i do miss that era

Ja Rule is currently watching this crying smoking a cigarette

I’ve been watching your videos back to back since Saturday. Re-watching this one again. Thank you so much for investing your time making these videos. Your humor is legit funny, I be at work loling hard. I’ve never been a person to watch a lot of RU-vid much less go on patreon but I’m definitely considering it. Thank you from HTX 👋

I learned so much from this than I ever did from other documentaries covering rap beef lol

TLR getting me through lockdown with these videos

1. This beef will never end. In my opinion once violence is involved (i.e. 50 and crew getting attacked in the studio and the infamous 9 shots) there's no going back. 2. Ja Rule ended his own career because he thought him and his record label were too big to fail. In turn HE brought Eminem and Dr. Dre into the beef by literally DARING them to get involved when the beef could've just stayed between Ja and 50. The universe will always find a way to humble you 3. 50 is the ultimate troll because he literally does not care AND HAS SO MUCH time. Biggest finesse was clowning Ja Rule for sing-rapping only for him to become popular for doing the same thing lol. That must hurt Ja to this day. 4. The most fascinating thing about this I'd how 50 came out and was able to turn fans and a lot of the industry against Ja! I was legit in middle school talking about how lame Ja was like I knew him personally haha.

That Ad was 🔥..Bro gettin better with the ryhmes str8 up💪🏾

I've watched this again and again, really well written bro! This is your Magnum Opus 💯

Ja rule Deffos messaging Ross after this one 😂 fyre

Can we get "the many beefs of 50 cent" video? This video alone has 50 in like 20 beefs while still going at Ja lmaooooo

And more recently Ja went and got himself tangled up with the fyre festival bollocks... His decision making is somewhat questionable! 🤦‍♀️

feels good to watch this video knowing I was in middle school when all this was going on. Something I use to hear was true something not so true. Don’t matter the only thing that matters is the WINNER gets to tell the story.

This is why I have respect for Irv Gotti.... He wasn't in denial and knew 50 was a threat to Ja Rule musically

To think, none of this really escalates like this if ja simply ignores 50.

Your vids are Dope bruh! TLR is a force to be reckoned with in the RU-vid world .. some one needs to give this man his crown hes surpassed ackdemics in my mind much respect dawg! Bblrrrrr 💥

Yo ross I’ve been wayyy too addicted to your videos lately. Best HH RU-vidr out there with ease

They would be best friends in another timeline, i can see both of them trolling each other

Ja's downfall was his arrogance due to him bringing Dre, Eminem and even Interscope into his beef with 50 as he genuinely thought he could take them down lol.

The title of this video is a misnomer, it should say “how the industry ended Ja Rules career”. Curtis definitely didn’t do it by himself, Ja became the industry punchin’ bag everyone ganged up on him. He should not have said what he said about Hailey (Ems daughter) that was his careers death warrant.

Trap this promo lyrically is the best I've heard you make yet 🙌

It is a blessing to have 50 cent Eminem and Dr. Dre alive today. They survived the 1990’s.

Ja Rule really thought he could take down 50, Eminem and Dre at the same time 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

This explains some good tracks on both parties, which I hate to admit. Glad I found this vid and you doing research

the first time i heard that go to sleep track my jaw dropped. i mean we had tracks like Superman, Amityville, Kill You etc but that go to sleep somg was just VIOLENT. ppl dont understand how much Em stretched the boundaries of lyrics in hip hop 20 + yrs ago

hell yes been waiting for this

None of the comments ever mention your skillshare tracks. You hop on the track with confidence, and I respect that.

All the work on the video & all the rappers names you mentioned but one you couldn’t get right. Great video all the same.

Wow what a ride! I really liked both of them growing up (middle/high school when they started. I am astonished by how much I didn't know. Media and info have changed so much. Fluck em for hiding all the good stuff in drama, etc. FOR SHAME! Also, Gyrule sent me and I can't recover.

That G-UNIT album BEG FOR MERCY, was and still is a classic. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you from the hood you know that 48 laws of power ish is so annoying Because anyone that went to jail comes out thinking they the master Manipulator & use those laws on they friends smh lol

I miss 2000's rap.

Really well done with this vid I enjoyed it

Eminem after Ja mentioned Hailie : "And then I took it personally"

I used to promote mixtapes these times & trust me 50 & G-Unit were smashing out more mixtapes than anyone else from that era. The cameos, skits & Ja Duet disses were too much 😆

Bro I’m glad I found your channel!!!

the word from the sponsor was dope bro frfr, creative

I swear these youtubers be finding info and videos we never seen before. Keep up the hard work we’d be bored without y’all

I think Ja Rule ended his own career by letting his rivalry with 50 cent consume him.

Man…just started watching your videos and your channel and THE GLOW UP IS REAL. I mean, hello TLR 😍

@trap lord Ross your skillshare rap was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

THIS AD IS YOUR BEST AD YET 😤 your rapping has really improved bruh keep it up

“You sing for hos’ and Sound like the Cookie monsta” - fiddy WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOUUUU

absolutely splendid vid mate!

You always do a fantastic job. I'm late watching this. Looking for the Fat Joe bs 50 beef

ross a legend in the making🤯.

Regarding the song, ' New York', I thought it might interest you to know that South Africans were up in arms when it dropped because it sounds eerily similar to one of our artists' biggest hits; 'Nkalakatha.' It dropped soon after Ja Rule visited the country.He was clowned by local media for that. Hasn't come back, since.

I feel like you should've included how historically hard 50 Cent and Gunit was going in the mixtape game leading up to him being signed by Em. No doubt your docs are always extremely detailed but you always seem to leave out at least one important detail and I'm sure there's a valid logic as to why but damn Ross that mixtape run was absolutely legendary and played right into 50's popularity at the time and also gives a better understanding as to why his first album did so well. Also during this era is when fans would noticably point out that 50 seemed to start using Ja Rules melodic harmonizing style in his music which in my opinion was very important to this story because he had already crushed Ja making fun of him singing on tracks only to turn around and do it himself in his own way. Also in much the same way Em D12 and Dre began to take aim at Ja on Fif's behalf (sorta) the lox and fat Joe retaliated the same way from the Ja side. Not a real important detail but since you included Em's numerous attacks why not also do the same for Ja's ally's? None the less, great piece of work as usual. Keep it up

"I didn't mention him on Beg For Mercy." I mean, he did put I Smell Pussy on the album...

"Thats only New York man yo ass is local" was actually a diss towards jadakiss

yooo trap REALLY SPITTIN

You do good videos, keep em up 👍🏻

Bro, TLR is pumping up hour long videos full of valuable info bout hip hop and yall still calling him a culture vulture, KMT!

Man I love your videos I can watch them all day 🚀🚀

I didn't know people thought of Ja Rule as hard or a gangsta rapper 😭😭😭

I've been waiting on this. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos.

"It aint over till one of us gone..." Damn 50🔥🔥🔥

i love rewatching this every so often because its my feel good story comfort food lol

These sponsorships are 🔥🔥🔥

I grew up in northeast. 50s mixtapes made him blow up way before em signed him. He was the hottest in the streets for a while before getting signed.

_Remember when 50 Cent got shot 9 times? Well, 50 Cent shot Ja Rule's career 9 times & it ended him._

This is always a good one to come back to 👌

I see you do amazing work keep up the good work

Ja Rule ruined his own career but ditching his core fans to beef with 50.

I didn’t even watch the video yet but the amount of work you put into this is unparalleled. Shoutout to TLR man.

Yo this is good content man, much respect

Bro.,You Got Down On That Rap...Fire....Gracias.,

This man writes a whole track for his adverts, legend

That gyro commercial was wholesome as fuck an u can tell he had fun with it.

That Ja Rule Duets skit had me Rollin

You went hard on that skillshare skit

It was over when the Hail Mary freestyle was on the radio in sc in that year.
