Not my taste
It is not my taste, however I am sure many people will like this style of music.


Don't Be Tempted


First off, Ja Rule has the worst voice in rap. Ja Rule is none other than a tool that basically rides on 2Pac's corpse, and when he's releasing whack albums like this all the time, you know there's a problem. He sounds like he has a bad case of strep throat, but it gets much worse when he attempts to sing. His rhymes are whack commercial trash that sells, and when he attacks others rappers, he just makes more of a fool out of himself.

And it's rather a shame that a talented MC like Nas had to guest star in one of his songs here. I mean, he uses Ashanti and Bobby Brown, isn't that enough to make his tripe sell?

The beats are lame and rehashed beyond belief as well.

Definitely one of the worst rap albums to come out in the 21st century, only to be paralleled with 50 Cent's "The Massacre" following three years later.


Deliver us from Ja (1 and 1/2 stars)
Ja Rule gained attention with his first album which I'll admit that I enjoyed but when Rule 3:36 came, it left a bitter taste in the mouths of the fans of Veni Vetti Vecci. Now for a review that isnt just a couple of sentences of an opinion and nothing about the album itself. Once Pain Is Love came out, fans started to distance themselves from Ja(well the just male ones) and when this monstrosity of an album came out he was bashed across the board by everybody. Me personally, I'd listen to the average Pain Is Love over this album any day.

The Good: Connected is saved by former Deathrow Records artists Crooked I and Eastwood. The shots Ja Rule threw at 50 Cent and DMX were nothing short of pathetic. The Warning is okay and that is about all the positives I can think of for this album.

The Bad: Pop N***as is corny and you cant tell that the beat provided by The Neptunes is a throwaway(especially at a time when their production started to get redundant). The Last Temptation featuring Charli Baltiwhore is a failed club banger that would put a whole club to sleep. Tupac must be spinning in his grave at the way So Many Tears is butchered by Ja Rule and why Why WHY is Nas on this song? On the track, Ja takes a shot at Snoop but the song is so weak, you'll say SO WHAT! Destiny(outro) is weak but its the last song on the album and that's a plus.

The Ugly: Thug Lovin feat Doodoo Brown ooops my bad, Bobby Brown is really grating on the ears. The production is okay but Ja's lackluster rhymes and Bobby Brown's dated over the top singing make the track worser than it had to be. Mesmerize feat Ashanti is hands down the worst song on the album and is the worst song Ja ever made period. The track is too mushy for comfort and corny beyond belief plus the fact that the video was modeled afer the movie Grease is a good enough reason to call for Ja Rule's ousting out of the rap game. Who knew that years later his baby iguana faced archrival 50 Cent, would make a track that is equally as bad that is called Candy Slop. Go figure. Ja butchers Toto's Africa in Murder Reigns also feat Alexi and turns it into boring nonthreatening joint. More butchering would follow as Ja mutilates the Tony Toni Tone's classic Anniversary with a cheesy chick record called Murder Me also feat Cadllac Tah and Alexi. Dishonorable Mentions: Emerica and Rockstar.
Bottom Line: The Last Temptation is the worst album of Ja Rule's career. The production was rank, Ja's rhymes were weak and his singing was horrendous plus the guest appearances(with one exception) hurt the album more than help it. Even if you like Ja Rule dont buy it. Its not worth it.


anything but tempting
This is one of the most pathetic attempts at music ive ever heard,every track is dire,no decent beats,no decent lyrics and no substance,avoid this joke of an emcee
.


Ja Rule is quite possibly the worst rapper ever
Ja Rule and his buddies Nelly, Chingy etc are killing it! Ja Rule is nothing but a black Justin Timberlake and a Tupac wannabe. I can't believe we have to put up with rubbish like this pulloting rap. He thinks Pac would role with him, that's a laugh. Ja, if Pac was still here you'd be in KFC. And so would your friends. Then people actually believe this guy when he talks about being gangsta and s***. He's fake, people are gonna realize this. Then 50 Cent is a better rapper than you are so stop thinking you can diss him. If your a Ja Rule fan than your a certified retard.
