Description: In hand ready to ship in 1-2 business days usually Mon, Wed, Fri New, VMP Exclusive "There was a moment — before Drake was breaking every chart record, before Jay retired for the first time, before Kanye but after Biggie and Tupac — that the number one rapper on earth was a gravel-mouthed gangsta rapper who had somehow crossed over to the pop mainstream. He’d be known to his mother as Jeffrey and to everyone who loved him as Ja, but he was listed on his album covers as Ja Rule, and his third album, 2001’s Pain Is Love, was a bona fide, undeniable mega-hit of epic proportions. It’s hard to explain to people who weren’t sentient before 2002 what life was like when this album came out; you heard it everywhere, including at supermarkets in the Midwest and out of your mom’s minivan. Thanks to its totemic singles — “Livin’ It Up,” “Always On Time,” and the J.Lo collab “I’m Real (Murder Remix)” — the album was inescapable, and despite it being the absolute peak of Ja’s career, preserving it in ember forever, Pain Is Love has become a blip on the consciousness of modern rap fans. But this is one of the steps in that endless walk, where hip-hop became the number one musical art form in America, and its impact to that endeavor can no longer be ignored."
