That’s a bold faced lie
BIME was terrible and I was a huge Ja fan back then. VVV, Rule 336, PIL, Last Temptation are all classic or near classic to me, But BIME was a terrible album
50 ain’t ever made an album or mixtape for that matter anywhere near as bad
In all fairness Ja was already somewhat falling off around this time. Last Temptation wasn’t popular like that and it came out months before GRODT, before 50 was even major like that
I don’t understand this take, 50 been singing on records since GRODT, actually before
He sang damn near half the books on GRODT including Back Down
Patiently Waiting
Many Men
High All The Time
If I Cant
Back Down
Po Lil Rich
Ja even called this out at the time and said “you do the same shyt, it’s just I sing for the women you sing for the men”
OAN that’s wild how Ja named his next album after GRODT after a line in “Many Men”
