Ja Rule, Pain Is Love

Released during Murder Inc's best year it has three massive hits that would carry any album.

Not as commercial as P Diddy or Mase, nor as street as Nas but it does balance these categories nicely. Enough collaborations to provide interest but not too many to take it away from the artist and well produced as you would expect from Irv Gotti. Plenty of tunes that stand out in a positive sense, none that stand out negatively. A good album.
