Ja Rule - Blood in My Eye

"After Ja Rule rose in popularity throughout the years since his debut, "Venni Vetti Vecci" in 1999, now in 2003 lots of things have changed. 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew rose up from the streets of New York and took the rap game by storm and their goal was to destroy Ja Rule and expose him as a poser. After numerous disses throughout the years when 50 and his clique were in the underground scene til 2003, Ja Rule's career slowly began to crumble before his eyes. So with this release, "Blood in My Eye," Ja is out to prove that he still got that gangsta s*** in him. Can Ja turn his career back around or will it further put him in the grave?

Ja Rule does indeed return to his roots.....somewhat. Mostly every track has Ja spitting with anger dissing 50, Eminem, DMX, Dr. Dre and mostly every other rapper who dissed him. He still got some pretty hot radio tracks but most of the album is filled with semi-hardcore tracks. This was the first "flop" in Ja Rules career. This album barely pushed over 400,000 units to date. Still a pretty good record though, check it out."
