You know, I don’t remember the details, but I was partly listening to some radio show, that was discussing how Ja Rule was invited to some kind of benefit/function (something or another). Actually, the soundtrack was the only good thing about that movie.
#Newcleus jam on it influence movie
Oh, man!! I almost forgot! My favorite Ja Rule song was “ Holla Holla (1999),” I believe this was from his first self titled album “Ja Rule.” Do you guys remember a soundtrack project Ja Rule did along with Nate Dogg for Mariah Carey’s bombed movie “Glitter (2001)?” The song was called “ If We.” It was one of the very few things good that came from that movie. I’d rather listen to a whinny lama before I listen to her solo music. I never heard a solo album by her I could tolerate. I didn’t think I would like the songs so much, since I cannot stand Ashanti! Sorry, I never thought she had a talented voice. Also I liked “ Always On Time,” still featuring her. I really like “ Mesmerize” featuring Ashanti. I really started liking his music about a year after. Fat Joe, ” and “Simmons Incorporated” feat. It’s old school yet their sound is modern. I love the fact that they continued to kept their same distinct Run-DMC style. It was around that time I stopped listening to mainstream radio and got more into music streaming, so I can’t recall if this album was promoted or not. Also, another rock inspired hit they had was a song called “Rock Box.” Just before Jam Master Jay’s murder, Run DMC recorded an album called “Crown Royal” some time in 2001. Young people today don’t know how huge that song actually was in the 80s. This was a damn shame, because Run DMC actually made history, as they were the first hip hop artists to merge hip hop and rock with their hit “Walk This Way,” featuring Aerosmith. I mean, when you listen all these hip hop documentaries talk about who was a GOAT, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone mention Run DMC. Not that I felt some kind of way… Perhaps we all sort of neglected them. After that whole scandal/tragedy of Jam Master Jay’s murder, for some reason, I haven’t thought much of Run DMC.
