I thought I should correct you on Go To Sleep as the entire song isn't dedicated to Ja because both Eminem and Obie Trice were mostly going at Benzino on the song. Eminem's only diss to Ja Rule on Go To Sleep was on the last bar of his verse (this was the first time Em ever dissed Ja). Go To Sleep is a incredible song

[@Sevvi79]

His diss track Bully is only towards Ja though. Kinda hard to miss but still!

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

Em dissed ja as well as obie trice

[@manis1551]

@@johnnyTimothyRokket Em only dissed Ja in the final line of his verse, the rest of his verse was him dissing Benzino and Obie's verse on Go To Sleep was him backing Em's beef with Benzino

When Ja first came on the scene I thought there were some similarities. His voice reminded me of pac and X. However the more music I heard from Ja the easier it was to see the difference and years later It was easy to see that they do not sound alike and their styles we so different. Again initially I heard some of X in Ja’s sound

Both of them have nostalgic timeless hits. I couldn't imagine DMX in the place of Ja's songs and vice versa. Ja was right. They both had deep voices and pulled from their diafram like Pac. Ja was suited moreso for r&b and DMX brought aggressive club confrontational vibes. They both had their own lanes even though they had deep tones.

I like Jah, I never thought he sounded like X... (Jah = "Oscar the Grouch", DMX = "Doom Guy" fighting a legion of demons) BUT at the beginning of this video... DMX kept it simple and to the point "YOU ALIVE CUZ OF ME"... then Jah pops up next, shirtless, talking about being a star... NO COMPETITION... DMX all day everyday, and I still like Jah but I'mma always avoid picking sides, it's no question I don't even mentally have a Jah vs. DMX... I'm more like "HOW?" its like trying to fathom how a giraffe would fight a Bengal Tiger...? They both big, but one, kills shht to survive... the other one, just want to live... and also "Murda Inc" JayZ DMX Jah is still one of the meanest songs ever!!!

I know it started with a fan asking X what up with that dude who sounds like you X pointed at Ja in the back sitting behind X X said that’s him right then X believed what the fan said about Ja sounding like him then X & Ja had beef for a while but they ended it years later it was a misunderstanding

[@youtubeaccount458]

Ja was NOT taking dmx's style and sound 😂 you ain't got a clue. Which songs of Ja Rule is he rapping like X?????? Ja's flow, word play, cadence, delivery and style was always completely different to how dmx rapped. None of Ja's songs sounded like dmx songs and the content was nothing alike. Also Ja was rapping the exact same way in 93 when he was in a group (Cash money click) before he met dmx and before anyone knew who dmx was. The only thing that was slightly similar was their voices but even that could easily tell apart.
