Standout Lyrical Attack: 'That X, got him thinking he was DMX. Then he switched to 'Pac now he's trying to be him next./ So which one are you? X, Luther, Pac or Michael?' taken from the track 'Bump Heads'. Both Ja Rule and Eminem found fame and success around the same time, and shared a mutual respect for each other as Ja Rule claimed in a radio interview, mentioning the two were even discussing the possibility of collaborating. However, everything changed when Eminem co-signed 50 Cent. 50 Cent had a well documented feud with Ja Rule when he signed a deal on a Shady/Aftermath project in 2002. Both of the rapper's recollections on how the heated rivalry initiated differ, 50 Cent claims that an associate of his robbed Ja Rule's jewellery and Ja Rule pinned the blame on 50. While Ja Rule claims that Cent was envious of the attention and praise he was getting on the set of a video shoot in New York. Either way, Eminem was initially pretty keen to squash the beef once 50 Cent became his artist. However, Ja Rule made the mistake of mentioning Eminem's Achilles heel on a record; his daughter. The battle then quickly escalated from rapper versus rapper, to record label versus record label. Eminem must have made around half a dozen records attacking Ja Rule; one of which actually featured his daughter Hailie Jade herself.
