Was J-Lo ever well-regarded?

Yes. If you listen to "Aint It Funny", you can literally hear Ashanti all over that hook. She's lipping to Ashanti...literally. LOL.

The problem with J. Lo is that she rode the Selena wave but she had no real talent to back it up. She's an opportunist. When the Selena buzz died, she aligned herself with hip hop and that was pretty much what kept her relevant for as long as it did.

First time I heard of her was in Money Train. Then i remember her in Anaconda with Cube. Selena was straight because she had that ass popping out in it. After that, I'm drawing blanks on her acting career outside of Enough and Gigli.

Her and Diddy being together helped both of their careers. He got her into black spaces musically, and she got him into that Hollywood mainstream scene. Once I saw Ben Stiller in that Bad Boys 4 Life vid, I thought the transition was complete.
