Ja Rule 2005 Synopsis:

Ja Rule 2005 DVD Review:

Actor/rapper Ja Rule first found success with his 1999 album release of debut album Venni Vetti Vecci. Produced by Irv Gotti, the album boasted guest performances from such major hip hop names as Memphis Bleek, DMX and Jay-Z and Nemesis. The album included the successful singles “Holla Holla,” “It’s Murda,” and “Daddy’s Little Girl,” which featured a duet with Ronald Isley.

In 2000, Ja Rule released his sophomore album, Rule 3:36 which quickly went triple platinum. The album featured the hit singles “Between Me and You,” which featured a performance from Christina Milian, “I Cry,” and “Put It On Me.”

With the enormous success of his second album, Ja Rule quickly release his next album in 2001, titled Pain Is Love. This album too went triple platinum and boasted guest performances from Ashanti (whom Ja Rule discovered), Jennifer Lopez and Missy Elliot. The album included singles “Always On Time,” “I’m Real,” and “Down Ass Bitch.”

Ja Rule’s success started to cool with the release of his fourth and fifth albums, Last Temptation and Blood In My Eye. Neither album found a tremendous amount of success and neither managed to reach gold or platinum status.

In 2005 Ja Rule released his seventh album, Exodus, which was more a greatest hits album to fulfill his contract with Def Jam records. Ja Rule then took a hiatus from recording, but has continued to tour.

Ja Rule 2005 is a double DVD release featuring concert footage that was filmed during his 2005 European tour.

Disc one of Ja Rule 2005 is comprised of live performances of all of Ja Rule’s most popular songs, 19 total songs in all, including “Holla, Holla,” “Livin’ It Up,” “Between Me and You,” “Down Ass Chick (a.k.a. Down Ass Bitch),” and “Always On Time,” among many others. The footage was filmed in both Saarbruccken, Germany and in Gent, Belgium in March of 2005. The DVD is presented in full frame 4:3 aspect ratio and a 5.1 stereo surround soundtrack. The first DVD includes interviews in the extras section.

The second DVD from Ja Rule 2005 is loaded with extras. Included on the disc are bonus tracks performed live in Manchester, England in 2002. The songs included are “Down Ass Chick (a.k.a. Down Ass Bitch),” “Down 4 You,” “Always on Time,” and “Rainy Dayz.” The DVD also includes a radio station tour, a biography, a slideshow and a series of video clips. The video clips include Jah Rule, The Early Years and Cash Money Click. The second DVD is also presented in the 4:3 full frame aspect ratio.

Fans of Ja Rule will find the two disc DVD release of Ja Rule 2005 to be a much needed addition to their library.
