Title: Who knew there was such a thing as manufactured rap?
Product review: I'm sure Ja Rule was not the first to do so, but he is in the current lead as #1 manufactured, radio-friendly rapper (Jay-Z could be considered but at least he delves into underground beats once in a while). His debut was more focused on streetlife but Ja himself said that afterwards, he took a look at what sort of music sold, therefore he shaped his songs to be more appealing to the mass market. His second and now his third album have been more dependant on featured R&B singers, catchy hooks and beats, and even Ja Rule hmself singing them. Should we punish him for wanting to increase his record sales? No but some amount of substance always outweighs a load of glitter.
