Rapper Common Disses Ja Rule

On the song “Soul Power” from his Electric Circus album, Common accuses Ja Rule of being a Tupac impersonator, claiming that his style and persona are not his own. The verse in which Common outlines this is as follows:

“You made a hit, and came up on a few dollars / I’d rather listen to silence than you “holla” / Why is your persona from the late great who made “Dear Mama”? / My realness is the armor that I wear up in this sport for truth / You a decoy, Common Sense is like the future of the B-boy”

Ja Rule’s only response was, “I heard that little subliminal shit. This nigga got a crusty beard with shit flakes stuck in it. He in a smurf hat, you feel me? How is that hip hop?”
