New York rapper Ja Rule is the true definition of a veteran. The hip-hop artist has acknowledged the 19th anniversary of his Venni Vetti Vecci album.
Rule went to Instagram Friday (June 1) to celebrate the project’s birthday.
Since yesterday, Rule has reignited his feud with longtime rap rival 50 Cent.

A few months ago, Ja Rule credited himself inspiring musicians like 50 to copy his style.

Ja actually referenced an interview 50’s son Marquise Jackson did last year where he credited him for influencing his style.
I would say it’s more of a mixture because today’s music is a form of past music. It’s just evolved. Everything’s evolving. I do a little bit of singing and I do a little bit of rapping. Automatically, I would probably fit into that Drake, [Lil] Wayne, Bryson Tiller, or a certain type of lane, right? But as far as I can go back into my mental rolodex, Ja Rule was probably one of the first to do it and I listen to a lot of Ja Rule because of that. So, it’s more like tapping into both. It’s like a history book. You’re able to get things now that you don’t think about but when you go in the history books and you look back, you realize, “I’m into this because of this. Somebody else opened that door.” So I feel like it’s only right that you know why you’re able to do certain things today and why it’s cool to do certain things today.” (Rap-Up)
