Lets be honest, Ja Rule will win at least 10 Acadamy Awards

In defense of Ja Rule, he's one of the few to stand up against the Shady corporation, although the more talented people happen to reside there.
Other than that, I think he's a as talented as a doorknob and those '10 academy awards' are still very very far away. -

Ja's acting is mediocre at best. He did ok in the 90 seconds he was in The Fast and the Furious and he was pretty funny in Scary Movie 3. I did not watch Half Past Dead (that's b/c I don't think Steven Seagall is in good movies but that's beside the point) so I can't judge him on that.
As an artist he has issues. He has always been a very good freestyler. I own his first album Venni Vetti Vecci and I like it. Very hardcore, fast, real, and street. However after that album he decided he cared more about selling records than keeping it gangsta so he made these poppy rap/r&b songs like "Put it on me" and "I cry" to get more albums sold. His second album Rule 3:36 was horrible even though it went platinum. After it bombed I figured he would go back to his hardcore ways. But he didn't. Pain is Love came out and apparently was pretty good I think it went 5 times platinum. But with singles like "Livin' it Up" and "Always on Time" I knew it wasn't hardcore so I didn't bother gettin it. His fourth album was supposed to be his last. He said afterwards all he wanted to do was worry about producing and acting. The CD was called "The Last Temptation." I did enjoy the first single with Bobby Brown and did consider buying this album until I heard "Mesmorize." After about a week I was sick of it. Around the same time 50 Cent started to get popular and people bought that CD instead.
Then artists like Busta, 50, Eminem, and DMX started making some hot diss records toward Ja Rule. Even longtime friend Jay-Z left him cuz he felt Ja was sold out. 50 and Eminem probably made the most anti-Ja records and Ja was losing fans. There was a buzz in NYC saying Ja is over, no one likes Ja anymore, he is a pu$$y, and the kings are now 50 and Jay. Ja was pissed so in the fall of last year he put out a street record that dissed 50. It was called "Blood in my Eye." I don't think it went platinum but I don't think Murder INC cared. They just wanted to let the people know that Ja could still be hardcore if he wanted to. I have heard the album and it wasn't bad. I'm glad he made it. However when CEO of Murder INC Irv Gotti held a press conference saying he was dropping the Gotti in his name and changing the record label from Murder INC to The I.N.C. he said Ja was done with the street records and was going back to the rap/r&b hits that sell records.
