In his new exclusive interview with HipHopDX, the former Murder Inc. rapper Ja Rule entertained a Verzuz with 50 saying “it would only take a phone call.” But then disappointingly, then shot down the idea saying “ain’t gonna happen,” meanwhile he talked up his discography as being too formidable to compete with.
Ja Rule in the interview:
“Everybody don’t want the smoke. Everybody don’t want this smoke. I got heat. Let me tell you something, when I do my shows, I can rock. I’m telling you, it’s like an hour of straight hit records. No filler. All crab meat, nigga. This ain’t the joints with the — you know what I’m saying? All meat in that muthafucking crab cake, nigga. It’s all meat, nigga.”
He adds…
“Listen, man, I love Verzuz, I love what it is, I love to see artists getting in there and doing the shit, but if I did one, if I did do a Verzuz, I would want my Verzuz to be fun.”
“That’s what Verzuz is supposed to be about — the celebration of music and the art, and the artistry. So, I would want my Verzuz to be fun, and filled with love in the room and shit, and that sort of thing. I’m too old to be in Verzuz beef, and to be in with my team of niggas, all my team of niggas, we’re like, ‘Come on, man’. I’m 44, dog. Just get a boxing ring and we get in there, and we do that. All this other funny nutty shit, we ain’t doing that, man.”
Ja Rule’s interest in a boxing bout clearly peaking due to the recent earnings in the Tyson vs Jones Jnr fight or perhaps the recent success from the sport realised by the podcasting Paul boys.
