For all those who care about Ja Rule's beef with 50 Cent, which at this point is quite possibly nobody, Rule wastes much time on Blood trying to settle the score. Considering 50 Cent has been ripping Rule to shreds for the better part of 2003, battle cuts like the catchy Scott Storch-produced "Clap Back" might be justifiable. However, Rule uses more than half of these tracks to air his 50 Cent gripes. In a music climate where rap-on-rap violence is no joke--and on an album that clocks in at only 45 minutes--that's a problem. When "The Crown" opens with a great sample from Afro-conscious reggae artist Sizzla, it seems like a welcome if temporary respite from his unresolved G-Unit issues, but that's not the case at all--it's just much of the same. And why would a man who's been dissed as a Tupac mimic enlist the talents of Pac homie Fatal Hussein on four tracks? Committed Ja Rule fans looking for those signature hip-pop collaborations he's taken to the bank before won’t find them here. --Dalton Higgins
