i feel like ... to be legendary, unless you're the MJ'S/Whitney's of the world, you'd better be making some sort of mark in the culture. And not just
musically

Yeah no

He had hits but... Who is saying they're inspired by Ja? xccxxc

Ppl won't "admit it" but they we're and it's clear as day. Once 50 came around everyone tried to act as if they NEVER fucked with Ja Rule which was wack af. All the music rappers like Drake, Future, Young Thug, etc. put out is influenced by Ja

Where the fuck do you see ja in the girls

Really?

Ja rule just had great producers and writers

Like

Drake? Future?

:plzstop: :plzstop:

They don't even follow the same formula

Ja made pop hits for radio always with a female singer. Some radio shit


Drake is depressing and Future is 'trap'

I move to strike my original statement

Ja Rule definitely wrote his own lyrics and wrote for others

It also depends on your interpretation of the definition for "icon". An icon is basically just a strong representation or symbol for a particular moment in time. Ashanti is definitely one of the largest representations for early 2000s R&B music. I can see where Ja Rule is arguable. However when we start discussing "influence", I think it shifts more into a conversation of "legendary" status.

He's pretty much a Pop artist
a whole lie where did you even get that from?
He had hit R&B/ Hip Hop duets with Ashanti, J Lo and Lil Mo
That crossed over because the genre was popular at the time but POP he was not. His beginning in the game was rapping with Jay and DMX and his albums are filled with more street sounding records

Not pop singer

The same way Drake is a pop artist

But he's not a pop rapper or some shit like g easy or whatever that girl name is :dead:
