UUSI Ja Rule Pain Is Love CD (2001) - Ilmainen Toimitus

The few rap-R&B hybrids on Rule 3:36

(2000) paid off large dividends by the time

of Ja Rule's next album, Pain Is Love. A

day didn't pass between the release of the

two albums when Ja Rule's voice couldn't

be heard on urban radio, and at the time

of Pain Is Love's release in October 2001

he had not one but two singles getting

nonstop airplay: "Livin' It Up" and "I'm

Real," the latter a Jennifer Lopez song

featuring him as a guest rapper. It should

be no surprise then to discover that Pain

Is Love follows the same formula that had

made Rule 3:36 such a commercial suc-

cess: craft some radio-friendly crossover

singles, often featuring pretty young fem-

ale R&B singers as romantic counter-

points, and then fill out the album with

hardcore rap often featuring Murder Inc.'s

roster of secondary rappers, to sustain

Ja Rule's thug reputation. Actually, this

formula is fine-tuned on Pain Is Love to

account for some exceptions - for instan-

ce, the lead single, "Livin' It Up," interpo-

lates Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do" for its

crossover-R&B aspect while the title track

recycles an old, generally unheard 2Pac

verse to great effect - and a significantly

more balanced album is the result. Plus,

there's enough strong material here to

encourage full-album listening, as the

crossover singles no longer stand out

apart from the hardcore rap filler to the

degree that they did on Rule 3:36.
