(TBT 2007) Irv Gotti & Ja Rule in the Studio (excerpt from Gotti's Way Season 1) Feat. Special Guest

[@DukeSaragono]

This makes you feel like you apart of the industry. Love this show. We need more like this.

[@rtold8974]

That was pure gold buddy

[@louieHuelsman]

[@BigShrimpin416]

I remember this show. I used to love this show! Wow I forgot all about this one!

[@bradlee5874]

I liked Irv's mindset, but he didn't realize that the industry was changing yet again. Ja should have stuck with his gut.

[@sometimes-i-uploadvideos]

Ja Rule had too much love and respect for Irv, it's like they brothers, so he didn't but you right, he should have.

[@robnizzy]

You are right! This is when Wayne was going innnnnnn tons of music!

[@pedrogates3189]

I think him and puff suffer from that same thing they’re so caught up in what they’ve done in the past that they can’t get out their way and create a new sound

[@sleepwalkernation]

Ja def was right

He nvr changed his b.s. format same thing everytime

[@murlinrichard5481]

6:48 This is exactly what lil wayne did to make himself more popular with the consumer If ja had followed that formula and not listen to irv maybe ppl wouldn't have left him so easy It's easier to say, I don't wanna let hot music go from a business perspective, but music is the business to sell So at the end of the day, a single can come off a mixtape especially now a days, even at the time of this was released, wayne was doing it, they coulda followed or copied that and still been musically relevant I agree with ja not irv on this one

[@murlinrichard5481]

More importantly let me say this At the time of this show the G-unit beef was still alive and well with murder inc I feel like ja is a great rapper, even if nobody wants to claim him to be or diss him and call him a cookie monster, ja may not give you alotta bars as a rapper, even then, but he just raps and lyrical at that My point being, in 2021 ja rule would have to create atleast 5 mixtapes of him just rapping on beats, doesn't matter who beat it is, just create music and let him rap to be hot And he'd have to do it weekly, each week drop 1 mixtape at a time, I just don't understand why he hasn't been doing it, times has changed, nobody buys albums anymore, even digitally Don't make a record going after 50 or aftermath as a whole, stay in your lane, rap over music, get your name back out there and create a buzz for yourself and let mfs kno you ain't left, it's that simple, if you're an artist create and let the ppl who hear it decide if its hot or not

[@felixthefortunate1990]

@@murlinrichard5481 very interesting points, thx for sharing 💪🏼

[@bradlee5874]

I love the points made on here. If Ja had continued to make music through the mixtape grind regardless of whether he was relevant or not, I think he would have been still on top of his game. I actually remember being anticipated for more music from him once I heard "Uh-Oh" in 2007 on the radio because I haven't heard from him in a while at that time.

[@murlinrichard5481]

@@bradlee5874 and it flopped Wayne was on top of his game at that time wayne couldn't be stopped, it's all about consistency I honestly feel like G-unit didn't play a role in ja rules downfall, yes they were hot and hitting the charts with everything they touched, but irv coulda been the biggest problem It's one thing to have sumbody best interests at heart, it's another thing to stop all together When ja wasn't doing nothing ppl forgot how hot he was and that he couldn't miss, and I felt like any song or music video good or bad could only help not hurt, but ja just stopped Stop making records, stopped making videos, he vanished from the public eye If this is what you love to do, you don't need to clash with irv, you're the artist, put the shit out on the streets if you have to and keep your relevancy alive Blood in my eye was a mixtape, def jam turned it into a album and it still went gold Like dude, if you got it, what's the point of holding on to it?? And God forgive me for saying this, I don't want ja rule music when he's gone, it's pointless Put that shit out now and let the public determine rather it's hot or not, you can't perform a hot song when you're dead

[@asaplee]

Ja rule was right I can’t believe it he basically explained mixtape Wayne. Could have ja rule been bigger?

[@DNBCYPHER]

100% Irv and his money chasing held him back. Ja Is signed and owned. He wanted to keep relevant while the times was changing but as u can see Irv thought it would be throwing away music if we the consumers heard it for free...

[@Gamarra.]

50 did it first

[@pedrogates3189]

Irv couldn’t change with the times ja was right constantly putting the music out keeps your name alive especially if the music is good looking at it now he could’ve definitely been bigger plus he caught the gun charge a little after this setting him back even more

[@FreeAgentplaya]

50 was putting out them mixtapes like that 😂

[@erizonabitcoinslim2214]

Anyone know where to their recordingstudio was located? Is it still being used?

the mirror was dope. it deserved a better push and “Free” and “body” was dope “style on’em” shoulda definitely been. single. i love Ja’s attitude him and Irv’s disagreements are priceless. Both be havin valid points on the murderinc doc they were talkin bout the grammys Irv goes “name all the rappers wit a grammy” Rule was like “yea Will Smith” lol 😂 Irv wanted the streets and Ja wanted the 🌎. The first street rapper to aim for major pop success daring to be different. GOTTA LOVE THAT!!!

[@purposeandgoals1189]

I always listen to Free. That Album showed Rule can evolve and his hitmaking is a gift that could never go nowhere

[@bernardbass8553]

Looks like Irv stunted Ja growth when the industry was changing

The music industry is and has always been more wwe than they want to admit..the music is only 1 ingredient, and its an important ingredient. But the storylines and characters around the music is much more important

[@leesmith813]

Ja Rule had ONE last chance to save his career in 2007, when he made a song (Uh-Oh) with the biggest rap star at that time (Lil Wayne). Only thing was the song sucked. If it was a good song, he would have got that buzz back 😞

[@timoaksproductions]

it's just was missing something on the record another voice or something. And no marketing behind the song at all definitely helped it fall flat with consumers worldwide.

Yup. He saw what Lil Wayne was doing and wanted to follow that path. This was when the mistape game was hot. Too bad Irv didn't see the vision.
