Editor's note

Ja Rule's late-90s rise and 2000s chart run

The Queens rapper who scored hits with Jennifer Lopez and Ashanti before legal troubles slowed his momentum.

For the early sound, check out 'Holla Holla'. The peak is probably 'I'm Real (Murder Remix)' with Jennifer Lopez.

He had a real moment in the early 2000s when 'Pain Is Love' went to number one. Songs like 'I'm Real (Murder Remix)' with Jennifer Lopez and 'Wonderful' with Ashanti were everywhere. Even later tracks like 'Rainy Dayz' and 'Uh oh' with Lil' Wayne kept his sound in the mix.

He came up with 'Venni Vetti Vecci' in 1999, featuring early tracks like 'Holla Holla'. The 2004 nightclub shooting case and acquittal marked a turning point. He kept releasing albums like 'Blood in My Eye' afterward, but the chart run had cooled.

Archive material and source history

Ja Rule, born Jeffrey Atkins, came up in the late 1990s with his debut album 'Venni Vetti Vecci' in 1999. That record had tracks like 'Holla Holla' and 'It's Murda' that got people listening. He worked with Jay-Z on songs such as 'Heartbreaker' and 'Murdergram' around that time.

His third album, 'Pain Is Love,' came out in 2001 and went to number one on the Billboard 200. It included the Jennifer Lopez collaboration 'I'm Real (Murder Remix)' and the Ashanti duet 'Wonderful.' Later songs like 'Rainy Dayz' and 'Uh oh' with Lil' Wayne kept his name in rotation.

There were legal issues, including weapons charges from a nightclub shooting in 2004 that he was acquitted of. After that, his chart presence faded, though he kept putting out albums like 'Blood in My Eye' and 'R.U.L.E.' in the mid-2000s.
