Ja Rule Releases “Fresh Out Da Pen,” Claims He’s “Innocent”

    Ja Rule has released “Fresh Out Da Pen,” a song about his mentality upon being released from prison. 

    “Fresh out the pen,” Ja Rule says on the song. “Middle finger up / Nigga, I don’t give a fuck / And you know what y’all can suck.” 

    Rule also aims words towards federal agents. 

    “Fuck the feds, whoever’s listening / I know you niggas watchin’ / but as long as I’m alive, who’s gon’ stop me?”

    In his last verse, Rule also comments on a bevy of recent pop culture events (Miley Cyrus twerking at the MTV VMAs) and songs (Jay Z’s “Tom Ford” and Ace Hood’s “Bugatti”), as well as his stance on being “innocent” and avoiding the use of Molly.

    “You gon’ get this work,” Rule says. “I’ma see you twerk it like Miley / You the bad girl like Ri-Ri that’s gone off that Molly / But I don’t pop that Molly / And I don’t rock Tom Ford / I ain’t wake up in a Bugatti / I’m just tryin’ to avoid the law / Nigga ain’t tryin’ to get locked up no more / I’m iced up real rocky / Keep a kilo of that hard white…around my neck / That’s not me / Nigga ain’t ’bout that life if y’all listenin’ / I’m innocent / Real shit / But I’ll be fresh as hell if y’all watchin’.” 

    Ja Rule’s reference to being “innocent” likely refers to his recent legal issues. He was incarcerated following an arrest for weapons possession in 2007. He was also convicted of failing to pay federal taxes in 2011Rule served close to two years in prison before being released to house arrest. Rule has been in the studio with Ashanti and others since being released from house arrest. 

    Before releasing “Fresh Out Da Pen,” Rule made a Twitter post about the song. He also said it would not be a diss towards 50 Cent.

    1. This is sad. Now we’re gonna have to listen to Ja Rule for the next 5 years rapping about how hard he is for going to prison for a year for tax evasion cause he was broke.

      Stop it Ja! YOU WERE IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY THE WHOLE TIME!!! THATS NOT HARD!!

    2. LOL THIS NIGGA SAID ITS ALL LOVE TO 50!

      YOU WILL NEVER CATCH A REAL NIGGA SAY SOME SHIT LIKE THAT ABOUT HIS ENEMY.

      JA RULES WIFE LOOKS LIKE A MAN

      1. ja rule the type to nigga to carry around a gun with no bullets to try and scare niggas but then he gets caught to goes to jail LOL

      1. 50 dont need anyone hes starring in movies with pacino, deniro, arnold schwarzenegger, nicholas cage, morgan freeman, etc…..

    3. Could have accepted his fate left the game alone. Now you’re just embarrassing yourself. Nobody wants to hear a 40-some-year-old black man rap about streets.

      1. not even hating but its true. so he did 2 years in protective custody whoopdee doo!!! lol straight out da pen…. LMAO

      2. ^cuz some dumbass brings the ’40 yrs old hang it mr washed up’ bullshit. Jay is over 40 niggas still stanning him…..

    4. Dude’s right about the “innocent”…that NY law he was convicted under is a violation of the Second Amendment.

      Once it goes to the courts, it’s gonna be ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

    5. Everyone seems to forget that Murda Inc straight up FABRICATED the actual “Order of Protection” they claimed that 50 supposedly got- all the way down to the nonexistent officer who made it – to the imaginary precinct that wasn’t located at the imaginary address that was listed lmao… Ja and them were DESPERATE to slow 50s momentum but he wasn’t the one that made Murda Incs spot hot –

      Supreme walking up in Def Jams offices bragging about how he worked for Murda Inc just to get past security kinda draws attention to a company lol. Yes that really happened…point is,Ja and Murda Inc took their spot for granted and never thought that 50 would ever even be in position to hurt them, industry or streetwise. They never saw the Aftermath/Shady machine getting behind 50 or him selling that much coming-

      Meanwhile at the time Ja was Drake before Drake, making estrogenized lullabies to sell records but ignoring the streets and the raw rap fans. 50 HARMONIZED on some of his choruses before and after he blew up but nobody else actually thought they were full blown RnB singers like Ja on that Rain song wit Mary J lmao go back and listen to that song, THATS the main reason Ja lost his spot-BS like that…

      1. It was real fuck ass, they’ve stated it in numerous occasions, the only one’s who denied were 50 of course, and Xxl mag back in the day because they were real heavy on 50’s dick. Stop being on 50’s dick, and Ja Rule isn’t as major as he once was, so get off both their dicks bitch ass.

    6. When real niggas get outta da pen they like fuck yeah i did it, i was guilty and did my time. this nigga coppin pleas about bein innocent like the little bitch he always been.

    7. Drizzy Drake should be paying this man royalties cause everyone knows Ja pioneered estrogen vagina music and singing like a bitch for the ladies

    8. Ja was never a boss in the game. When he was hot he should have started Bitch Nigga Records and he wouldnt be broke today

      1. right, because millionaires just dont pay their taxes and get 2 years in jail for fun right, ja so hard he went to jail for fun LMAO

    9. hot trackkkkkkkkkkkk ja rule for life fuck the rest ya hearddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd if you ain’t down with the movement get moving on outta here

    10. my best frend got a real nice Cadillac CTS Vsport Premium by work part-time using a laptop… More Help… Fb39.O

      Ja and Murda Inc took their spot for granted and never thought that 50 would ever even be in position to hurt them, industry or streetwise. They never saw the Aftermath/Shady machine getting behind 50 or him selling that much coming-

    11. Do you think Ja was a bottom or top in prison? I can see Ja liking it both ways and mixing it up from time to time.

      I bet some of those boys he raped in prison look better than his man looking wife

    12. The way 50 killed and exposed this nigga will never make me or anyone in my generation listen to his music again. Ja Rule was actually a good rapper, but every time you look at the nigga you just think about Wanksta, Back Down etc. Poor guy. Even Meek Mill always making references to his beef with 50

      1. 50 ain’t kill shit fool the media killed Ja Rule JUST like the media killed 50 during the Rick Ross beef (even though he n GUnit had the better disses)

        PAYBACKS A BITCH

      2. @Laugh Later How much money Ross making compared to 50 though? Meek Mill hugging 50 Cent on stage, you think Banks or Yayo would do that with Rick Ross? LOL don’t let these wack records on the radio fool you. Ross is no where near 50’s level

    13. He should just face the music… his career in rap is finished. Maybe he could become an R&B nigga like he always wanted and get on some shit like The Weeknd. I could also see Ja Rule starring in a Tv Soap Opera or somethin but he had the biggest fall off in the history of rap

    14. The only reason this is even being reported or we’re even talking about Ja Rule in 2013 is because 50 Cent famously destroyed his career and now we’re all fascinated watching Ja try hopelessly to come back from death. Its like watching a car crash or a house burn down, you just can’t turn away!!!

    15. Jeffrey, stop recording songs in your basement and listen to a person who knows. Sign with MMG and your life will be back to where it was before. You’ll be making so much money Ross will have to help you launder it.

    16. 50 CENT KILLED JA RULE’S CAREER. Despite all the “Ja Rule does this and that” trolls on the net, the truth is one man, 50 cent, destroyed this man’s reputation 4 life. I almost feel sorry for him.. a few years back he was at a club in my city just chilling,and suddenly a bunch of people just started yelling “wanksta” which led to a fight and some legal troubles for Ja.

      Now the man’s music sucked, but to be black balled by the industry for life just because of what 50 did back in ’03… man that’s some rough shit.

      1. THE MEDIA KILLED JA’s CAREER YES BUT THEY ALSO KILLED 50 CENT’S AS WELL. WHERE’S 50 NOW DESPITE THE FACT THAT G-UNIT WON THAT WAR WITH MMG BACK IN 09…WHERE? 50 STILL CAN’T RELEASE HIS FUCKING ALBUM YET JA STILL DROPPING…….

        BEAT THAT DONT BRING UP SALES BECAUSE 50 DROP NOW HE AINT SELLING EITHER

        MEDIA 2 – 50 CENT & JA RULE 1

      2. Still doesn’t change the OP’s comment 50 didn’t ‘kill’ shit. The media did. 50 & Ja career wise are over. 50 smart for doing other ventures. props for that.

      3. Weirdo, the man himself said he took the loss. Why don’t you be a man too and admit that’s bullsh*t what you’re saying.

    17. “Drizzy Drake should be paying this man royalties cause everyone knows Ja pioneered estrogen vagina music and singing like a bitch for the ladies”

      LMAO… this comment was so good, I had to bring it up top..

      1. whoever keeps riding for ja rule.. we know ur the same person just puttin out mad posts n shit..who u foolin lmao..clown.if anything ur fuckin ja rules comeback up w these lame 100 posts haha jsut stop and if ja makes a comeback itll be bec of good music..not ur lame ass

    18. Only reason this shit even made the news is because he mention Godfather 50 Cent and tried to dead the beef because we all know if you can’t beat them you gotta try and join them!

    19. Ja Rule was like the hood version of Drake in his time with just a little less singing. LOL Thats how I look at Ja Rule and his past career as a rapper.

    20. people hate 50 cause he came up to fast, or his style is whack the guy got shot in the fuckin mouth thats why he sounds a lil fucked, the man is fuckin genius he turned his royalty checks into fuckins billions, he’s doubling and doubling and doubling and doubling , 50 >>>>>> JA

    21. How much respect does ja have in the hood ? NONE! Ja is a SOFT ass nigga. He came in the game with wack shit and he left the game as a bitch. He waited years to come back because he was still healing from the ass whooping 50 gave him.

      What 50 been doing ? And what’s ja been doing …… Enough said
      Ja was equivalent to lil Wayne when he first drop. … But some of you nigglets were still sucking on your mommie titties to remember that!

      1. Where you from Kizman to know what went on in those Queens streets?

        I ain’t one of these little kids, I know when someone is repeating what they heard & read and not what they actually saw and know.

        Speak on it.

    22. ja rule had the biggest fall off in hip-hop history!

      pain is love 2 has yet to sell 7000 copies in a year and a half!

      if you ja trolls would buy his albums instead of posting ja comments all day he still might be relevant, nah probably not but get a life

      1. When you sell 20 million albums, you don’t just fade away as evidence he’s still around. He may not be selling alot of albums, but other than select few, nobody is, not even 50 Cent, who can’t even get an album out in stores.

    23. yep i cant stand ja rool, i remember my sisters playn them songs on repeat and i couldnt stand hearin his raps. But at least he sounded better then he did before.. I ll give him props for stepn his rap game up a bit.

    24. uptil I saw the paycheck which said $6381, I have faith …that…my mom in-law truley receiving money part time online.. there best friend has done this for less than six months and by now repayed the mortgage on their appartment and purchased a great new Mazda MX-5. take a look at the site here http://www.Fb39.com

    25. Ja and Irv have both just admitted to being crushed by 50!!!

      Rather than sugarcoat the feud, Gotti admitted Fif ultimately won the back-and-forth dispute.

      “Yeah, we took an L but listen, the thing about it is when you’re going through it, you’re going through it,” Gotti explained to radio host Angie Martinez. “I’ll take you back. We was in my office, me and Rule, we in the office and [Funkmaster] Flex was about to play ‘In Da Club,’ [laughs] so Flex plays ‘In Da Club.’ That record was so dope, I looked at Rule and said, ‘We have a major problem.’ [laughs] … We took the L, but you know what? People take L’s. It’s not the L, it’s what you do and if you keep swinging and keep fighting.” (“The Angie Martinez Show”)

      Rule also laid out how Fif managed to seemingly bury the Murder Inc. brand.

      “It was a lot going on in that time frame,” Rule added. “You got the federal indictment — he was a part of the juggernauts at that moments. Eminem. Dre. They were very, very big in what they do and what we’re doing as well so as we were big on our side, they were big on their side. As everything started to crumble for us, as far as we didn’t have a label as a home anymore — there was a lot of things falling apart for us. It was easy for him to get people to turn on [us]. And there were things behind the scenes that y’all don’t see that made it seem more irrelevant. Like, we couldn’t go to awards shows. They’d make calls. ‘Well, if Murder Inc. is in the building, they’re not going to perform this year. Em’s not going to perform.’ So we would get calls from MTV, BET like ‘Yo, we love you guys, but guys, they’re doing their thing this year and we don’t want y’all in the building.’ So now, as the fans, they’re looking like, ‘Yo, this dude is really crushing them. They don’t even show up at the awards anymore.'” (“The Angie Martinez Show”)

    26. The hits Rick Ross has compared to Ja are baby singles. But to me it’s weird. Rick Ross is a bigger fraud and a below average artist compared to Ja but he is still here. That ain’t right.

      1. 50 cent is the fraud u clown, he a snitch n lil bitches like u are so far up his ass its unreal, now go take your face for a shit!!!! ITS MURDA

      2. Right 50 is the fraud, LOL. We all seen pictures of Ross in uniform. We saw the paperwork. He lied.

        No one ever showed any proof 50 snitched on anyone. They had to make that up because they were losing so bad!

        he didnt give away anything Ghetto Qu’aran the feds and everyone didnt already know. it was common fucking knowledge.

      3. naw Ross would actually eat him right down to the bones fat fuck all he needs is a little sweet n sour sauce and that boy will eat anything

    27. “No one ever showed any proof 50 snitched on anyone. They had to make that up because they were losing so bad!”

      Losing so bad? 50 got lumped up and stabbed, amd if it wasn’t for Eminem’s help in dissing him, Ja Rule’s career would have stayed in full swing.

      1. who lumped him up?

        50 knocked out ja in atl. murder inc turned out the lights and black child poked him with a knife. ja never put no hands on 50 once.

      1. yeah he said they turned out the lights and stabbed him, he got 3 stitches and went on to destroy their careers. ja didnt lay 1 hand on 50 but 50 DID knock ja out in atlanta at jack the rapper
