    I'd argue that Ja Rule ruined Ja Rule's career, but that's just me.

    Nah not really

    People just dont give him a change because of what 50 did to him. A lot more people follow 50 than Ja rule, and with that, they follow the beef...

    Ja rules earlier albums werent really that bad.

    I'll post more as I think of them later.

    I have a question about Tupac because I was never a listener.

    What would be the most popular Tupac song that the most people would recognize?

    I've been getting a ton of requests for Tupac and I wouldn't even know where to start.

    Hit 'Em Up pretty much tops them all even though many people say it was shameful. Hail Mary 2003 by Eminem, 50 Cent, and Busta Rhymes was good. The B*tch In Yoo by Common directed at Ice Cube was good. Takeover and Supa Ugly by Jay-Z were alright but Ether topped both of them. Dre Day was a good one.

    Like others have said : Hit 'Em Up - Tupac.

    The first time I ever heard that song, I was just sayin' "damn" out loud to myself at every other verse... the beat, the impact, the vicousness... wow... it's all there. And it's not like you had to decipher anything to figure out what he's saying or who he's talking about. He just throws it all out there.

    Definitely California Love
    Life Goes On
    Dear Mama
    Ain't Mad at Cha
    Changes

    Really, if you're looking for songs people recognize, Greatest Hits CD would be a good place to look.

    Best Dis song? 1986... one of the original rap feuds! (between Marley Marl's crew "Cold Chillin'" label, and BDP)

    Artist: Boogie Down Productions (KRS-ONE)
    Album: Criminal Minded
    Song: The Bridge is Over (The Bridge is a reference to Queens Bridge, the bridge across to the Queens Bourough in NYC - where MC Shan was from. Later, Run-DMC made sure and identify with Hollis-Queens since KRS shut down the Bridge... LL even steered clear of ever mentioning the Bridge, and he was right up the Avenue, so to speak in Jamaica-Queens... In another song by BDP, KRS defended, and befriended LL while further destroying MC Shan.)

    -----

    Intro:

    I say, the bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!
    The bridge is over, the bridge is over, hey, hey!
    The bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!
    The bridge is over, the bridge is over

    Verse One:

    You see me come in any dance wid de spliff of sensei
    Down with the sound called BDP
    If you want to join the crew well you must see me
    Ya can't sound like Shan or the one Marley
    Because Shan and Marley Marl dem-a-rhymin like they gay
    Pickin up the mic, mon, dem don't know what to say
    Sayin that hip-hop started out in Queensbridge
    Sayin lies like that, mon, you know dem can't live

    So I, tell them again, me come to tell them again, gwan!
    Tell them again, me come to tell them agaaain
    Tell them again, me come to tell them again, gwan!
    Tell them again, me come to te-ell them
    Manhattan keeps on makin it, Brooklyn keeps on takin it
    Bronx keeps creatin it, and Queens keeps on fakin it


    Verse Two:

    Di-di di-da, di di-di, dida di-day, aiy!
    All you sucka MC, won't you please come out to play, cause
    Here's an example of KRS-One, bo!
    Here's an example of KRS-One
    They wish to battle BDP, but they cannot
    They must be on the d**k of who? DJ Scott LaRock
    Cause, we don't complain nor do we play the game of favors
    Boogie Down Productions comes in three different flavors
    Pick any d**k for the flavor that you savor
    Mr. Magic might wish to come and try to save ya
    But instead of helpin ya out he wants the same thing I gave ya
    I finally figured it out, Magic mouth is used for suckin'
    Roxanne Shante is only good for steady ****in'
    MC Shan and Marley Marl is really only bluffin
    Like Doug E. Fresh said "I tell you now, you ain't nuthin"
    Compared to Red Alert on KISS and Boogie Down Productions
    So easy now man, I me say easy now mon
    To KRS-One you know dem can't understand
    Me movin over there and then me movin over here
    This name of this routine is called Live At Union Square

    (echo: Square, square, square, ooooooooooooooooooooooo)
    What's the matter with your MC, Marley Marl?
    Don't know you know that he's out of touch
    What's the matter with your DJ, MC Shan?
    On the wheels of steel Marlon sucks
    You'd better change what comes out your speaker
    You're better off talkin bout your wack Puma sneaker
    Cause Bronx created hip-hop, Queens will only get dropped
    You're still tellin lies to me
    Everybody's talkin bout the Juice Crew funny
    But you're still tellin lies to me


    (that last bolded part was to the tune of the Billy Joel song "It's Still Rock'n'Roll To Me")

    This song helped establish the entire "beef" thing... Some LL's best beefs were to shut down Kool Moe Dee. From 1986-90...

    Most of the ones mentioned were good, but I hear straight-up bites off the original dis records, and all of the old BDP, LL, etc. now ALL of the time.

    Nelly's new song with Paul Wall even straight rips a lyric from LL's Bigger And Deffer album...

    This would also be my favorite.

    "you a p***y with a yeast infection"
    "how many more Big's rhymes gonna come out yo fat lips"
    "Gay-Z and these ****-a-fella records wanted beef"
    "I rock hoes y'all rock fellas"

    Eminem also pays homage to Ether on another one of my favorties "Say My Name" Xzibit and Em tearing Jermaine Dupri a new one with a Nate Dogg hook to boot.

    Also - Afroman "Wack Rappers" is the ****.


    Hit Em Up though, is without a doubt the best. You can feel the violence oozing through your speakers.

    I would also add to this list:

    How Do U Want It
    I Get Around

    And I agree completely with Hit 'Em Up and Dre Day but No Vaseline (first mentioned by Hayes) is an awesome song. I would argue that this was Ice Cube at his peak (also has a great sample in "Dazz" by Brick).

    I have always maintained that if Malcolm X could rap, he would be Tupac...seriously. You just felt everything he was saying was sincere, and he grabbed your attention no matter what he was saying. His delivery is the knockout punch.
