Ja Rule Explains Hip Hop Vs. Rock Music

In a recent video interview with 57thAve.com, Ja Rule addressed Hip Hop unity and how Hip Hop music stacks up against other genres.

"We fighting against other genres," explained Ja. "We fightin' against motherfuckin' rock. We fightin' against pop. We fightin' against these other genres of music. We need to be together as a whole and not separating ourselves between West and East and South. I think New York is making a strong comeback right now. I think we doin' our thing, we got Maino, we got Red Cafe. I think New York is making a surgence [sic]. I got my acts outta New York, I'm coming with a crazy album right now. But you know as a whole, it's not about New York...it's about Hip Hop. We all in this together. So when I think about it, that's really my feelings on the situation."

Rule also spoke on his oft-delayed album, The Mirror. "I'm putting together The Mirror: Reloaded. The Mirror got leaked...so I'm putting together all new tracks."

In the meanwhile, Ja says he's busy listening to new albums by Jadakiss, Drake and Chester French.
