Ja Rule Claims 50 Cent Revealed To Him A Plan To Start Beef To Make It Big

The Ja Rule and 50 Cent beef is more of a universal truth than a developed and escalated feud these days. Sure, they still take shots at each other, but it’s more of a historical fact and troll than true-blue beef these days, although it was certainly that at one point. In fact, before it sprouted, 50 himself allegedly detailed to his fellow New York rapper how he would pick a fight to make it bigger in the industry. During a recent interview with Math Hoffa on the My Expert Opinion podcast, Ja recalled this conversation to the hosts. In his claims, he explained why he can’t support an attitude like that.

“I used to go over to Jam Master Jay’s studio- when he was signed to JMJ because Black Child was over there,” Ja Rule began. “He was also signing to JMJ. So I go over there. Go see my n***a Black. And, you know… I was already on. I had a record deal with my n***as Cash Money Click- so he used to kick it with me.” Then, he alleged that 50 Cent wanted to do a song with him. “I got nothing against him but the record never got done- I’m busy. I’m running around. I’m trying to do things. It’s no slight to nobody. It just didn’t happen.

“We had our first encounter in Atlanta,” Ja Rule remarked. “We had a talk. Uncle Chaz came to me, said, ‘Yo, homie ’bout to pull up. Would you want to have a conversation?’ I said ‘Alright cool, we’ll have a conversation.’ And when we had a conversation- ‘Yo it’s just a record. Ya know I’m just trying to get out there,’” referring to Fif’s disses towards him and Murder Inc. “Chump s**t. Whack s**t. I’m a real artist n***a. I’m a real n***a. This is whack to me, n***a. I don’t give a f**k. If we’re gonna talk about it, let’s talk about it.

“And, I know what n***as is gonna say at home,” he continued. “‘Why are you talking about this thirty years later?’ I don’t want to talk about this. My n***as right here want to talk about this,” he said to the podcast hosts. “To me, that’s not a real artist. That’s not a real man. It’s not a real n***a. You know what I’m saying? To want to pull down other n***as to pull yourself up. That ain’t my style. If you a real n***a, go make your records and shine.” For more on 50 Cent and Ja Rule, stay posted on HNHH.

Young Guru Warns Timbaland After He Reveals Plans To Support AI Music

While other industry figures seem to support or at least tolerate artificial intelligence in music, Young Guru firmly speaks against it. Moreover, he warned the industry of the dangers of the technology upon hearing a Kendrick Lamar voice filter and an AI-generated Jay-Z verse. Now, he recently reacted to Timbaland’s plans to commercialize AI, which would in theory enable artists to obtain “exclusive rights” to use the voices of late musical legends. Of course, neither party will be able to control or regulate AI in music by themselves. However, perhaps the legendary engineer has led the way for more hesitation from artists when it comes to this innovation.

“@timbaland I love you my brother,” Young Guru wrote on his Instagram Story, reposting a report about the producer’s endeavors. “You know I do. But this ain’t it!!! This is dangerous and at a basic level it’s corny!! I will be on the side of the Luddites.” Sure, many might find it corny in and of itself to compare the movement against AI to a 19th century revolution against textile machines. Still, it’s a more apt comparison than you might expect, because tech will progress no matter who is standing up against it.

Regardless, the 49-year-old’s efforts to vocalize the dangers of artificial intelligence in music are quite commendable. If anything, these conversations should point to a middle ground of understanding that this should, at the very least, be regulated in some way. After all, a lot of the more popular uses of AI have been for meme videos, light-hearted reimaginations of tracks, or other non-threatening uses. The issue could stem from the industry trying to profit off of this and use it to benefit artists’ laziness or lack of creativity. In the worst cases, it blurs the line between a legitimate release and making money off of another’s likeness or false work without their permission.

Meanwhile, Timbaland was very excited to share his AI Biggie Smalls “collab.” “We know that it’s a lot of talk about AI and we know how the feelings of violating certain things,” he remarked. “But let me tell you something: I got a solution, I’m working on it. It’s gon’ be beneficial to everybody. I gotta share something I’ve been working on because I always wanted to do this and I never got a chance to. I always wanted to work with Big and I never got a chance to.” For more news on AI music and the latest updates on Young Guru, stick around on HNHH.
