You should hear "Anyman" from back in the day with Ruckus. I am not big on freestyles and such but it's simply incredible, I wish Marshall would quit ****ing around with this singing hooks for 50, Obie and D12 bull**** and get back to what he does best. And Codman, if you are equating that there is more hatred among the hip-hop purists for Ja Rule because of his idiotic beef with Curtis Jackson, I think you are sorely mistaken. Perhaps it was the case among the 14 year old white boys who watch MTV and worshipped him when "Livin it Up" and "Can I get a whut whut" were popular, only to scorn him when the Wanksta dissed their new beloved gangster prototype. It's all about Kanye right now anyway.
The 50 beef may have intensified my dislike for Ja Rule but I didn't like him the moment he came out.
