Ja Rule Calls Prison “Amazing,” Speaks On Making Friends Behind Bars

    Ja Rule is currently serving a two-year bid for gun possession, but time behind bars isn’t so bad for the former Murder Inc. rapper. In an interview with New York Daily News, Ja, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, said that he’s befriended former state controller Alan Hevesi and former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski and that prison is “amazing” for hosting these types of individuals.

    “Outside, you don’t meet guys like this every day. This place is amazing,” he said. “Koz just got out on work release. Not to say I wish he was still here… But they’re both great, smart guys.

    “It’s funny,” he added. “We’re from totally different walks of life. But when you’re here, you’re here.”

    1. he is not in prison doing hard time he is on vacation.no lock up no hand cuffs none of that shit.to many people doing real hard prison time stop acting like he on death row.

      1. This might be the worse thing I’ve ever read. The content was alright. Then the syntax fucked it up. Then this is the clincher: swag.

    3. I think what this nigga means by prison being amazing is the fact that he’s getting fucked in the ass everyday by his friends and he likes it.

    4. wtf…This guy is stupid.. ‘prison is amazing’..smfh.. So now some gullible kid is gonna hear this and start doing shit to go to jail, then ends up finding out shit aint fun or amazing. A celebrity or someone who had some sort of fame going to jail isn’t even the same as one of us ‘normal’ folks going to jail.

      1. I agree…unfortunately, so many kids have already gotten that message from other rappers. Ja is only perpetuating such a silly notion.

      1. Yea he probably really meant to say, “You know what? This buttsex stuff ain’t that bad. And it’s everywhere in here. I LOVE THIS SHIT. IT’S ONLY YOU AND I. EAR FOR AN EAR & EYE FOR AN EYE…”

    5. i laugh at dumb motherfuckers who look up to celebrities as an influence and try to live their life style r go off what ever they sayin in a song r an interview

    6. stewart little lookin’ mofo, prison amazing? What Ja meant to say is that there are some people in prison who have impressed him in some way, but he’s too DUMB to state it that way.

    7. Any comment that includes a complaint about grammar will have a grammar error itself. I fucked up.

      1. Your name has grammar errors you fukin prick.

        If you like hash tagging too much then go twitter, this isnt a place for kids.

        Fuking Drake dick sucker.

    8. It’s hard for the average cilian to overstand, but you do meet some of the livest, realest, coolest people in the joint.
      Shit happens on the street… people slip, get ratted out, whatever. Everybody in the joint isn’t a dumbass or a loser. Sometimes, their luck just runs out.
      If you’ve never been to the pen, I don’t advise you to go. But if you ever have the misfortune of going, you’ll see it’s nt hard to make the most of it.

    9. ya misunderstanding what he’s saying he’s saying actually achieved stuff in prison he didn’t get in the streets a G.E.D. it’s also amazing some the peopl that went to that prison suchsuch as prodigy and you bump into. it’s called looking for the positive things in prison like god, work, and classes to find yourself again. Soul searching you can either make jail hell or do your job stay positive like ja and get the fuck out

    10. why does it not surprise me this homo nigga LIKES being locked up? sure he’s been pumping dudes like reebok in there, dreading the day he has to go home to his wife. not like he’s missing out on a career. hes around a bunch of built niggas like its candy land.

    11. Of course he thinks its amazing hes in a soft protective custody part of the jail no ones gonna bother his little ass. Send him to the general population in Greenhaven that guy would shit on the floor and rub it all over himself to try and put the lifers off from ass pounding him………..it wouldnt work they love a dirty mothafukkaaa

    12. HHDX – wack title – change that. out of context and glamorizing something that should be not be glamorized. are yall becoming sohh.com? damn.

    13. I’m not a ja fan, but steven j. horowitz is sensationlistic dick head.

      When I read the title… i was expecting it to be ja rule literally saying “prison is amazing….im glad im here, and i dont want to leave”. but really what he was saying is “this prison is amazing for hosting these 2 individuals”.

      3 years ago you would never see this type of fuckery on hip hop dx. now you have incompetent writers fucking up stories desperate for views, and trolls fucking up the traffic ruining what used to be moderately stimulating conversation. thanks steven j horowitz and sean ryon for running this site into the ground.

      1. #13 The sad part is that you dumb asses on this web site cant read between the lines to know that the writer is purposely choosing headline titles that will have the viewer with a pre determined decision even before they read the article or watch the video. The sad part is that even if some the viewers attempted to the article it wouldnt do any good because half of them cant finish a coloring or puzzle book for an eight year old. IDIOTS!!!

        Don’t delete my post this time DX you dumb f*cks

    14. Amazing indeed. They were probably asking him for protection, but were having a hard time getting wire transfers to the prison.

    15. I ACTUALLY LMFAO when i see all these Eminem white boys commenting cos they think eminems a gangsta and ride his dick cos that’s all they got to hold onto lolllllzzz

      1. You mean half full right? Jesus Christ why don’t you further your education? Seriously you couldn’t accidentally type have full. You’re probably one of those dolts who thinks your is the same as you are.

      2. ^ that was easily the biggest over reaction of the century. nigga you need a hug. when youre typing it pretty common to mispell a word with a similar sounding word. it doesnt reflect anything about his level of education… get over yourself fam it not that serious.

    16. some of you ppl on here are dumbasses ja rule doesnt enjoy prison he says the prison he’s in is amazing or holding two guys incarcerated there thats how u can tell ppl just read the lines just to comment and dont watch the video smh and the writers trying to lie cuz they know dumbasses gonna not watch the video and jump to conclusions

    17. this dude is a FAGGOT, “making friends behind bars” we all know that means takin it in the ass all day

    18. Ok, I dont ever post comments, but as a black male I was dumb-founded and border line offended to read that this so called “brotha”, whom some of you may refute is in a position of influence due to him being a fairly popular entertainer, glorifying his experience in prison as “amazing”…..current statistics show that 1 in 3 black males spend time behind bars at some point in their life, which is a clear example that black males are being targeted, and instead of Ja Rule saying that prison is no place for a black man, he proclaims that prison was an amazing place to network……50 did him a favor a few years ago, he should just stay out of the media and sit down somewhere

      1. Shut the fuck up. Niggas was in prison before Ja Rule and niggas gonna be in prison after Ja Rule. You sound like a old ass lady. Take your dentures out and go suck a dick.

      2. Shut the fuck up hoe. Niggas was in prison before Ja Rule and niggas gonna be in prison after Ja Rule. You sound like a old ass lady. Take your dentures out and go suck a dick.

      3. Have u ever considered that the media is full of dirty tricks??? Ja Rule is quite an intelligent dude… come on son!!!! that shit was taken way out of context an thrown around the internet!!!

        Have u considered that they dont want Real Hip Hop back??? they dont want Ja an Murder Inc back… we have easily controllable Drakes an Lil waynes correctional officers running the game… Yall fucked up Hip Hop!!! DMX got targeted, Ja Rule targeted, Irv Gotti, J Prince list goes on… Why is it that Ja has had to go to 6 different prisons since June last yr??? if that not mind fucking someone what is… an now this bullshit Ja calling prison amazing… Open ur eyes idiot!!!

    19. This little pussy sucked my dick anytime i asked him too. Fucking phaggott too, nigga was crying like a little pussy too when he told me about what went down with the Beef between 50 and him.

      Nigga sang me some Jodeci too

    20. Life in a good prison > being free and dead broke. “Freedom” is such a illusion you ain’t really free when you are broke. I rather being in good prison with tasty food, water, TV, gym, etc than being homeless #RealTalk

    21. Yo and correctional officers are good, friendly dudes. There ain’t no reason being mad about CO’s. Shout out to all good CO’s around the world and especially to Ricky Rozay.

    22. Wow theses haters be major closet poofters!!! fuck this im leaving Hip Hop Dx too many fucking Homos an lil kids on here making me fucking sick… Yall Fucked Up Hip Hop thanks alot!!!

      An like Pac said Media Full Of Dirty Tricks… you have to be a fucking idiot not to figure out that the Amazing quote is taking out of context!!!

      1. i wanna fuck justin biebers tight white ass… damn…. my shit getting hard just thinking about it. No Homo

    24. he meant it’s amazing how you can either stay positive in jail and make the best out of it by getting your g.e.d. stay out of trouble and keep your nose clean but at the same time it’s amazing the people you run into in there. Those dudes made lots of money business men now he met up with them from two different worlds. I think it’s crazy too fuck ya hating PAIN IS LOVE 2 IS GONNA BE CLASSIC I GARANTEEEEEE

    25. 50 killed this faggot ja. 50 the reason this niggah is all shoook and has to resort to being locked up to avoid being bruised up by fif.

      1. get off 50 dick this year will be 20 years since I been out the pen and I feel this nigga I bet a 50 dick rider like you would bitch up real quick behind bars pussy

      2. fuck up nigga.. 50 dont need a body guard, he strap on the teflon and walks out the door knowing he can take anything the city throws at him… ja on the other hand shook cuz he never knows when 50 might come round the corner.

      3. You kidding? Listen to My Fofo by Fat Joe, that should shatter your schoolboy illusion that Fifty’s a big scary gangster strolling through the ‘hood. Get real.

      4. Are u for fucking real??? 50 lives in conneticut… is suicidal, has restraining orders on everyone from the murder inc crew (STILL) has been informed by the police that he PAYS for protection (yes he pays the police for protection look it up gangsta) has been informed DONT go to the hood cause they will kill u!!! Dude got shot outside his grandmas.. People dont respect u if they come to YOUR crip an shoot u outside… That means u a bitch!!!

        50 lies out those big ass false teeth… I got my ear to the street an Ja gonna have a hard time in Jail???? Really??? Wats streets Conneticut??? Ja seems fine to me!!!

        50cent is a fucking Joke… he done!!!

    26. Mad how people take this the wrong way. Ja’s saying he’s taken steps to better himself whilst behind bars that perhaps he wouldn’t have taken in the outside world. He’s appreciating the personal development and life experience that this mostly dire situation has afforded him. Prison time is supposed to rehabilitate people and mould them into better people, Ja’s living proof that this is working. On a side note, the new album sounds awesome so far. Buy Pain Is Love 2 on February 28th.
