Ja Rule is a rapper who clearly has the whole bread/butter equation down cold. On his second album he broke through to superstardom by tempering his hard-guy front with some accessible pop/R&B flavoring and the occasional touch of relative sensitivity (the beefcake promo photos didn't hurt his appeal with young girls either). Since then, he's been pursuing the ain't-broke-don't-fix-it approach. On his fourth album THE LAST TEMPTATION, Ja continues to pursue the mix of hardcore thug rap and radio-ready pop hooks that's proven so successful in the past. He even includes another posthumous collaboration with 2Pac (seemingly more ubiquitous in his post-mortem state than ever before) on "The Pledge Remix." Ashanti and the original mack daddy Bobby Brown are also on hand to add some melodic color, but despite all the attractive adornments it's still the rough-and-ready rhymes and forceful delivery of Ja Rule that lie quite appropriately at the heart of what hardly seems unlikely to be THE LAST TEMPTATION offered by this high-profile artist.
