For all those who care about Ja Rule's beef with 50 Cent, which at this point is quite possibly nobody, Rule wastes much time on Blood trying to settle the score. Considering 50 Cent has been ripping Rule to shreds for the better part of 2003, battle cuts like the catchy Scott Storch-produced "Clap Back" might be justifiable. However, Rule uses more than half of these tracks to air his 50 Cent gripes. In a music climate where rap-on-rap violence is no joke--and on an album that clocks in at only 45 minutes--that's a problem. When "The Crown" opens with a great sample from Afro-conscious reggae artist Sizzla, it seems like a welcome if temporary respite from his unresolved G-Unit issues, but that's not the case at all--it's just much of the same. And why would a man who's been dissed as a Tupac mimic enlist the talents of Pac homie Fatal Hussein on four tracks? Committed Ja Rule fans looking for those signature hip-pop collaborations he's taken to the bank before won’t find them here. --Dalton Higgins

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Muuuuurdaaaaaa... Once Again, November 6, 2003

By	warrior33 (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

On his 5th album Ja Rule finally returns to the hardcore style he had on his 1st album. But I don't know if he did it because he wanted to or because of the beef with 50 Cent. It's pretty obvious that 50 influenced this album, because Ja's dissin him throughout the entire CD, he also takes shots at Eminem, Dr. Dre, DMX, & Busta Rhymes. Nevertheless this is a hot album, there really aren't any weak tracks, but the skits are pointless, and there are too many guest appearances. The only guest that really does a good job is Hussein Fatal who was part of 2pac's crew the Outlawz. Bottom line this is Ja's best album since Venni Vetti Vecci there is no pop-rap here and best of all... No Ashanti!!! Anyone who liked Ja's 1st album should check this out.

I cant believe Ja could be so predictable. 50, Em, D12, G-Unit all hit him with a barrage of disses on his lovey-dovey R&B style. So what does Rule do? Of course, try to be gangsta. You cannot deny the fact that Ja Rule has lyrical skills; if he didnt, Def Jam wouldnt have signed him. But...if you've never sold drugs, if u dont even own a gun (let alone shoot at people), if you've never been in a gang, or a gunfight, then lets not rap about it huh? It makes it so hard to listen to Ja say "we gon clap back...lets take em to war" when if it came down to it, he would just run and hide. Stop fakin Ja, and go back to your fool-proof sing-along with the ladies formula.
