In a recent video interview with 57thave, Ja Rule gave his take on the music industry’s bleak record sales, the status of home label Murder Inc., and his involvement on the "Mafia Music remix" track.
On record sales:
“It’s a lot of struggle right now going on as far as new artists and artists of my stature [when it comes to] selling records. It’s just not like it used to be…I think right now independent is the best way to go for artists.”
The status of Murder Inc.:
“It’s a lot going on with the Murder Inc. situation right now. I really can’t speak on it too, too much. I’ll have to let [Irv] Gotti do that, but we’re going through label changes and stuff like that. So it’s a situation that’s coming to a head.”
Ja spoke about his part on the remix to Rick Ross’ recent record “Mafia Music.” He explained that he did not jump on the 50 Cent diss record in order to revisit past hostilities between the two rappers, and referred to 50 as “Curly” in the process.
“[The track is] fuego, you know what I mean? But that beef was like 10 years old. I’m not rehashing beef, I just went in and did the record with Rick Ross and I’ll always speak my mind on how I feel. I could gives a fuck about Curly. It’s not like it’s a shock to nobody that I’m on the record.”
Ja also went on to talk about his upcoming radio show, clothing line, and mixtape.
