#JA RULE BODY CLEAN FULL#
Despite being tonight’s opening act behind ILoveMakonnen, and standing only 5’6 at 39 years old (ancient in rapper years), Ja is in full control of himself and his audience. The first word that comes to mind now seeing him on stage is hardened. Dave Chappelle and Aziz Ansari’s respective standup bits “Where is Ja Rule?” found eager audiences, echoing the public’s amusement in Ja’s absence and sudden career burnout. It didn’t help that he turned down the opportunity to reprise his role in the second installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. (Ja’s label), a highly publicized feud with 50 Cent, and time spent in prison for gun charges and tax evasion, the rapper fell off.
But after the decline of Irv Gotti’s Murder Inc. When Ja was on top, he was king, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Jay-Z, R. Ja Rule rose to prominence in the wake of hip-hop’s most violent era, dominating the late ’90s and early 2000s with top Billboard hits that still play in virtually every nightclub throughout America. I’m standing at an elevated VIP booth sipping Grey Goose with a 23-year-old CEO as well as a dozen or so supermodels, all of us smiling at how this bizarre evening has turned out. Most of the people in the audience grew up listening to his music, so now they’re chanting back verses whenever Ja extends his mic in the air. Somehow, Ja Rule still has the magic touch. Wearing all black with a thick gold chain, the man exudes power and influence, busting out every one of his former hits with enough bravado to rival Kanye. A crowd of highly sexualized young socialites screams as the rapper Ja Rule steps on stage at Up & Down nightclub in lower Manhattan.
