pain is pain
They are both similair in rhymestyle,in lyrics,in the fashion stakes,in image etc etc,except pac did it so much better. This man has been accused of ripping off 2pac,and its a fair shout to be bluntly honest. The music adopts the same formula throughout,rap a few bars then an r and b chorus x 3 to fade. There are 1 or 2 bright moments but as im writing this ive forgotten them already. Pain is excruiciating. Im not a ja hater,infact i thought his first cd showed promise but if you want an example of a crossover cock up congratulations you've found it

Ja Rule - Pain Is Love
But after his disasterous follow-up, "Rule 3:36," almost all hope was lost considering that almost the whole album was filled with pop-rap. After Ja Rule burst out onto the rap scene in the '99 with his debut album, "Venni Vetti Vecci," the streets were heating up thinking he was the best new cat out of New York. Now another years goes by and another album from Ja gets released, this time with "Pain Is Love. " Can Ja bring it back to the grimey street style of his first album or will this be another bow to his rap career?

"Pain Is Love" is a border-line positive effort from Ja Rule. He didn't change much since his last album, on some tracks he's actually gotten worse. There's way too much singing and pop style songs, I don't see how most of this got past the production stage. Anyway there are some good tracks though, Ja kept it street on some tracks but not many. Check it out if you like what's on the radio, Ja Rule, Ashanti or Murder Inc, if not this one's not for you.


Let There Be Ja Rule!
This album can be played from beginning to end, no skipping required. I never liked Ja Rule's rap, until this album surfaced. It's Explosive! The best album I have purchased since Chronic 2001. . . Give this man his props, this album was worth all the money I put into it, and then some!.


Pain is when he keeps making albums, love is when he quits the game
I can tell you hate me amongst many others in the world because you keep making these wack pop songs and have the nerve to call it hip hop. Ja do you hate me? I sure hate you. This kat is so commercial i wouldn't even consider it rap let alone hip hop. Boycott this clown and support real emcees like krs one, immortal technique, and one be lo.
