“Ok, Ja, but I got something you don’t,” 50 says with a wry smile. Ja shocks the crowd and strikes first blood.

50 lets the dirt fall off his shoulder, but the chippiness has started early.

Irv Gotti sends a laughing emoji in the chat. “Aye yo, Fif? Are you still mad about not being in that video?” Ja says, cracking up a bit. He didn’t expect Ja to throw out the heaters at the start but no matter. “But yo Fif, it’s murdaaaaa.” Then, he presses play on “Murda 4 Life.” 50 is slightly caught off guard. The crowd starts hyping it up, but Ja just sits back and smiles. Round 1ĥ0 fires up his speakers and sets the tone with the opener to his classic debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ “What Up Gangsta.” It’s not one of his hits, but 50 is trying to remind the chat of the LP’s greatness. Lace-up your Timbs, cook up a chopped cheese and pop the bottle of Moët - the battle is about to begin.ĭo you agree with the results? Sound off in the comments and let us know. If there is a tie at the end, a bonus round of five additional songs will commence. Each rapper plays their song for no more than a minute but can go shorter if they so choose. This duel could end up being much closer than expected. 50 almost doubles Ja’s hits, but there was a time between 19 where Ja was one of the biggest acts in mainstream rap. The two Queens staples have over 60 Billboard Hot 100 hits between themselves - 40 for 50 Cent, 26 for Ja Rule. It’s an (imaginary) battle of Billboard titans. While this battle will likely never materialize in real life, HipHopDX thought it would be fun to imagine how a 20-round song-for-song battle would potentially play out. “I want all the smoke,” Ja noted, adding, “I’ll behave.”īut since that exchange, Ja has walked back his comments, and 50 has rejected the invitation. Ja Rule made it clear during an April 12 Instagram Live he’d be more than down to battle his arch-nemesis 50 Cent as part of Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’s Verzuz Instagram Live battle series.
