Gotti's first act was signing Ja Rule away from TVT Records, and also signing Black Child and Caddillac Tah on solo deals.

Lil Mo (born Cynthia Loving on 1978 in Long Island, New York) is an R&B singer and songwriter. ...


At this point, Murder Inc. was more popular than Bad Boy Records and Roc-A-Fella Records. They would sign Charli Baltimore and Ashanti during that year.

Murder Inc. vs. G-Unit

According to 50 Cent, the feud started in 1999 when Ja Rule was robbed out of his jewelry. But, according to Ja Rule, the feud started when he (Ja Rule) was making a video shoot in Queens because 50 Cent was jealous. The first incident in this giant feud was 50 Cent getting 3 stab wounds while leaving a nightclub. Rapper Black Child took responsibility for this incident. He stated that he was acting in a self-defense because he thought someone was reaching for a gun. This caused 50 and Ja to continuously fire back shots at each other on mixtapes, including others from each side, with Black Child, Caddilac Tah, and Irv Gotti on Murder Inc., and all of G-Unit on 50 Cent's side (even though the group at the time was relatively unknown, as Ja Rule was busy doing work with rappers like Jay-Z and DMX, who would eventually enter the feud as well, on his debut and second album Rule 3:36) In 2000, associate of Murder Inc., New York drug lord Kenneth McGriff was becoming more and more angry at 50 Cent because the relase of 50 Cent's album Power of the Dollar, because the album contained a track 'Ghetto Qur'an' that was revealing Murder Inc.'s criminal activities, which included McGriff and Pappy Mason, another drug kingpin. McGriff then ordered 50 Cent's murder, but 50 Cent stayed alive and took 9 gunshot wounds. 50 cent redirects here. ... Events of 2008: (EMILY) Me Lesley and MIley are going to China!

Meanwhile, Ja Rule was selling very well in his discography, despite the constant jabs made by 50 Cent on the mixtapes he and G-Unit made. Ja Rule would continue to sell very well into his career, but when 50 Cent was signed to a major label on Interscope, he also signed with famous rappers and producers Dr. Dre and Eminem, and this changed the feud entirely.


In 2003, 50 Cent signed to Eminem's Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. Soon after that, Ja Rule was a guest in a talk show and he warned Dr. Dre and Eminem to not relase any of the 'diss' songs aimed at Murder Inc. because of 50 Cent's involvement between the two rappers. The two did not send any kind of direct or indirect diss track to Murder Inc., listening to Ja. However, Dr. Dre was the one who produced 50 Cent's vicious track 'Back Down' in 2003 from the album Get Rich Or Die Tryin', which called out Murder Inc., which then gave Ja Rule the obvious notion to reply back to Eminem and Dre. After that, Ja Rule decided to attack Dr. Dre and Eminem. He did it in his infamous and centerpiece diss track 'Loose Change'. In the song, he not only made fun of 50 Cent, Eminem (he called him Feminem), and Dr. Dre (he had called him a bisexual and claimed that Suge Knight knew of Dre bringing transvestites home, and both are false), but he had also dissed his friend Busta Rhymes who signed to Aftermath at that time. The track also insulted Eminem's daughter, Hailie, by saying that she'll grow up to be a slut or a drug addict like Eminem's ex-wife Kimberly Anne Scott and mother Debbie. The lyrics insulting her are: Year 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

"Em you claim your mother's a crackhead and Kim is a known slut, so what's Hailie gonna be when she grows up?"


This insulted Eminem deeply, causing Em to immediately get his rap group D12 involved, as well as the major part of his label, Shady Records, including Obie Trice, his close friend. Dr. Dre then joined in the feud to fire back at Ja Rule. The two labels together then sent an onslaught of disses towards Ja Rule throughout the middle of 2003, attacking his, Irv Gotti's, Black Child's, and Murder Inc.'s credibility in general. Later on in the year Ja Rule relased his hate album Blood in My Eye which was dedicated to dissing Shady/Aftermath back in favor. Blood in My Eye was originally a mixtape intended for the streets only, but Murder Inc. had ordered Ja to release an album each year based on the requirements of his contract, and so Ja Rule made the mixtape an album. The album severely diminished Ja Rule's popularity, and during this time 50 Cent was selling multi-platinum with his album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (in fact, it sold 6x platinum at the end of 2003). With just one diss in "Loose Change," Ja Rule had brought two record labels against him and his own record label. From then on, in 2004, Ja released his highly-successful comeback, R.U.L.E.. The album featured the hardcore street anthem "New York."

The song featured Fat Joe and Jadakiss. In the song, Ja Rule would throw a subliminal shot towards 50 Cent. 50, in turn would go on to diss both Fat Joe and Jadakiss. This would bring them into the feud, numerous disses were now being hurled at G-Unit from all directions. Jadakiss would soon back out of the feud, while Nas would come into it with many disses aimed at 50 Cent. Other Murder Inc. arists would step into the feud as Ja Rule made peace with Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, and Eminem. The Game would soon have a falling out with 50 and G-Unit, which led to him siding with Murder Inc. in the feud. Toward the end of 2005, the feud calmed down until Ja Rule disses 50 in 2007 on a remix to "I Get Money." Also from late 2007 to early 2008, Fat Joe has been trading insults with 50 Cent as Jadakiss had chosen to stay neutral.
