Ja Rule Information Ja Rule in 'Half Past Dead'Jeffery Atkins (born February 29, 1976, Hollis, Queens, New York City), better known as Ja Rule, is a rapper who made his name on several tracks of recordings by his mentor Jay-Z, the most notable of which was the smash 1998/1999 hit "Can I Get A...". Looking to capitalize on the same type of strategy, Mary J. Blige invited Ja Rule to record a song with her, called "Rainy Dayz", which was added to a 2002 rerelease of her most recent album, 2001's No More Drama. Ja Rule returned in November of 2003 with the new single "Clap Back", on the album Blood In My Eye. www.rulecasino.com /jarule_info.html   (1763 words)

Piggy Bank (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 2004, Ja Rule released a song for his R.U.L.E. album titled "New York." The song was well received by hip hop fans for its heavy bass driven beat and edgy lyrics. The song was a welcome reentry for Ja Rule into the public's eye after his public fued with fellow Queens native, 50 Cent, led to a drop in his popularity. The song, "Don't Body Ya Self (MC Burial)", taunts 50 and his G-Unit crew by claiming that their earlier "diss" was directed not towards Nas but towards his family because 50 was afraid to get into a war of words with Nas. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Piggy_Bank_(song)   (1500 words)

Piggy Bank (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was not released as a single, but charted at eighty-eight because of controversy over its attack on long-time rival Ja Rule, as well as Jadakiss and Fat Joe, who had worked with Ja Rule on his song "New York". Seeing as how Jadakiss, who is known as one of New York’s premiere emcees, was more of a threat, 50 responded with the Tony Yayo-assisted ‘I Run N.Y.’ At the song’s conclusion, 50 pokes fun at the fact that Jadakiss still does not own the rights to his own publishing. Jadakiss and Fat Joe responded to ‘Piggy Bank’ with their own freestyles: Jadakiss’ “Checkmate” and Fat Joe’s “My Fo’ Fo’.” While Fat Joe stated that this would be his one and only response to 50 Cent, Jadakiss and his D-Block crew threatened to make the beef a cornerstone of their careers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Piggy_Bank_(song)   (1500 words)
