At the end of the day, Ja Rule is partially to blame for all these soft rappers!

[Enzo]

I can't think of anyone else who fathered more of these commercial rappers' style. He and Irv Gotti pretty much ushered in this "thug luv" era. 50 clowned it then mimicked it and pretty much every rapper has been doing it since.

Don't get it twisted, we had thug luv songs before this but I'm talking about the commercialized version that we've seen in the past decade. Kanye's softest song about chicks is still lyrically/musically unique.

Am I wrong on this? Speak on it Coli

Agreed. Now if you wanna throw a real spin on it, and change it to "At the end of the day, Ja Rule is partially to blame for all these soft nikkas", we might have something.

if you remember, LL built his rep on how raw he was compared to other nikkas.....


Thats why Canibus was when LL dropped Mama said knock you out.


regardless of "thug" or not... that line Ja was on had already been done and perfected by LL.
