Free Music Notes for The Last Temptation
Free Music Review: Don't Be Tempted
Hit: 1 Stars
Ja Rule is none other than a tool that basically rides on 2Pac's corpse, and when he's releasing whack albums like this all the time, you know there's a problem.
First off, Ja Rule has the worst voice in rap. He sounds like he has a bad case of strep throat, but it gets much worse when he attempts to sing. His rhymes are whack commercial trash that sells, and when he attacks others rappers, he just makes more of a fool out of himself.
And it's rather a shame that a talented MC like Nas had to guest star in one of his songs here. I mean, he uses Ashanti and Bobby Brown, isn't that enough to make his tripe sell?
The beats are lame and rehashed beyond belief as well.
Definitely one of the worst rap albums to come out in the 21st century, only to be paralleled with 50 Cent's "The Massacre" following three years later.
The Last Temptation Poster
His inexplicable top-tier popularity notwithstanding, Ja Rule has developed into something of an oddity among today's pack of commercial rappers. Murder Inc.'s eager young cash cow is an MC whose ability to sound like 2Pac conflicts with his urge to sing like Donny Hathaway, and these two seemingly disparate influences firmly butt heads. Songs like the Ashanti-accented "Mesmerize" and the downtempo "Rock Star" showcase Ja's wobbly baritone croon, while "Thug Lovin'" (featuring the authentic thug crooner, Bobby Brown) and "Murder Me" display his patented hip-hop growl. In keeping with Murder Inc.'s domination of mainstream airwaves, the vibe here is strictly midtempo R&B, aside from the exceedingly shrill synth-and-drum-machine styling of the Neptunes-laced "Pop N****s" and the prefab grimness that permeates "The Warning." Young'uns mightn't notice, but the samples utilized on The Last Temptation, including Toto's "Africa" (on "Murder Reigns") and "Funky Sensation" (on the title track), are extremely unsubtle. Those who were raised on foundation hip-hop might do better to look elsewhere. --Rebecca LevineRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
