Ja Rule's 2nd Vid Hits the Net, What Will the World Think of Alicia Keys' New Joint?

| 73 Comments

This is the video preview for Ja Rule's next single from off of his upcoming LP, The Mirror, entitled "Body." It features Ashley Joi, whoever that is. Watch Ja as he attempts to take it back to his "platinum sound (as he said in "BEEF")," dipped in a little bit of eye candy and a fresh beat.


Maybe if it were 2001...
_______________________________________________________________________________

I never do R&B, but for Alicia I must make an exception.

After her 2003 release of The Diary of Alicia Keys, the Harlem songwriter and painist is finally back. This is the official lead single, "No One," coming from her 3rd album As I Am, which is slated for release November 13th. Not sure if this sounds like the "Fallin" and "You Don't Know My Name" that a lot of us love. And ignore the corny sounding DJ at the end.


It seems that after such a long break, she would be coming with that fiyah-- not something that has to grow on you after the first few listens. As you can see, I'm kind of skeptical about this single, though I'd love to see Keys enjoy the same amount of success as she did on her last two-- with the first album being the most fruitful, of course.

Good luck.

LOOOVE THAT ALICIA JOINT!!! dat mu gurl!

say what you want...this is real music. in this age of bubblegum, empty rnb..this is refreshing. tip my hat to you always.. ms keys.

Damn Reckless, i have to agree with u on this one. I can't see the Ja video, but i'm sure it's wack-tastic.
I heard that Alicia Keys for the first time on the radio last night. I have to say, this single is NO WHERE NERE "Falling" and "You Don't Know My Name". I was feeling those after the first time i heard them. With this single, at first i didn't even recognize her. It's probably one of those songs that's gonna grow on me like John Legend's "Save Room". Regardless, i'm buying it. I'm a loyal A-Keys fan for real.

ja's video is hot
the INC is back

SHE LUCKY SHE FINE,ILL BE CHECKIN 4 THIS VIDEO,BUT AS A SINGLE,NAH HELLS NO!!MABY A SECOND SINGLE.

Ja got some bad ones in that vid.

alicia will test the waters with this one and come back with a banger dont worry true talent always shine-help end the ringtone rapper-www.myspace.com/thealumni305

Damn fuck Ja, this whole blog should have been about my future baby mama Ms. Keys. That picture of her is so sexy. I would definately try to impregnate that chick.

Say word Ja look just like Ray J's long lost brother. Son trying to get big to the fight 50 I see. LOL!!!

Not feeling either songs I think Ja should have saved his money up and played the background in the music scene like kwame' in the mean while If you want good music check my girl Deemi out she's from Bedstuy signed to Atlantic.

Is it me, or does the beat in Alicia Key's song resemble Akon's "Don't Matter?"

i am feeling that ja song/video. finally maybe he's realised that the beef and the gangsta persona aint gonna work. stick to what u do best- sing to the ladies and watch the dough roll in..fuck the haters. keys still my boo, whatever she belts out..loving that song..

This is why this blog fell off.
Ja Rule is not hip hop!
Alicia Keys is not hip hop!
SOHH NYC is not hip hop!

One

Alicia Keys is from Hell's Kitchen..NOT.. Harlem.

Damn Ja...you serious homie? That looked like a gay porn shoot or some shit. Wow. That seriously is his video and not some tv commercial? Wtf? LMAO.

Alicia fell off hard. She's more or less a 2 hit wonder. Nobody really paid attention to her second album even if it did sell units. Everyone thought she'd be able to take on Beyonce and since then she's basically did a Fugee move and lost her mind. Putting out wack songs.

YES YES YES YES YES. I came on early today just to hi-jack a few threads and you dumb asses fall for it every time. I even tell you I type just so you can stan me or talk shit and mention my name the whole blog so it becomes the Real Talk blog but you ignorant fucks STILL do it. That is why I've given up hope for blacks and latinos. I tell you that I'm manipulating you and you STILL fall for it.

How do you say no one was checking for her album & even if it did sell units......in the same sentance? Be for real.


That single is fiyah. Cant wait for the album.


One more thing.......lol............Not a hot single yet 3 blogs on Sohh are dedicated to its opinion? lol BE FOR REAL!

Idiot. You must jerk off to her posters daily. First off nobody was checking for it as in do you even remember the singles? Did it get a bunch of radio play? Do you remember the album title without googling? Hell no. If it sold any units it's because people who purchased her first album were out at a store and said "oh wow, she has another album let me buy it". They weren't looking for that shit.
-
Three whole blogs on lame ass SOHH dedicated to it? That makes it a great success huh? Seeing as how DJ Khalid, Ja Rule, a bunch of lames and nobodies in the West Coast and Latino section are posted everyday. What a great marker for success.

BOTH songs are good. Let's stop shittin' on Ja Rule. Once 50 got on him, EVERYONE turned on him. The man invented a new sound for himself... due to all of the DMX/Pac comparisons... and he succeeded... give him credit. Despite what ppl think, he's GOOD at his craft.

The Alicia Keys joint is hot.

BULLSHIT Ernest. You only hear people talk about "flopping" on Ja Rule and how hot he was ONLINE, just to throw shots at 50. I NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER knew any dudes who owned a Ja Rule album, only females. So if females left him, oh wells but don't act like dudes were feeling him. He has an image problem. He looks like a weirdo. NONE of you would talk to this dude on the block if he wasn't famous.

i would honestly rather listen to Ja's new love song over 50 cents love song. I truly believe ja has some actual talent where as 50 is just a gimmick.

I'm not feeling Alicia's joint, but my opinion ain't never stopped no show. Someone will like it, I'm sure.
--
As a woman I have no interest in the assfest that is Ja's new video, but damn if he ain't looking good. I'm not crazy about the song, but it is clear this man plans to make a big come back and I wish him nothing but success.
--
From what I read Ja & 50 have already come to blows on a couple of occasions so I doubt he got his weight up out of fear for 50.

wtf is ja rule doin

lol lol lol ahaha ahaha love it. ahahah u love our swagger. lol

I like ja's first song Uh Oh,but this one I'm not feeling too much, maybe it's the time span since he came out with a song of this nature. Maybe once the radio starts playing it 3 times a hour I might give it another shot.

I'll but Alicia's album just cause she has real talent.

No dude purchased that shit. I'll admit that sometimes people would say holla holla on the block but people say party like a rockstar all over their myspace, the shop boyz still didn't sell.
-
9/11...it doesn't matter anymore. FIF WE KILLING THEM IN THE STREETS!

Ja look like he gettin back to the formula that got him first get the streets sayin "Uh Oh"(Holla holla) and then proceed to get the party scene with the song for the females "Body". I think he making good moves so far but we'll see. That Alicia joint is Alicia. She is talented and probably just warming up being that it's been 4 years and change since her last LP.

lol why is ja trynna flex? he trynna show people that it aint just 50 lol.

After much research, I had finally found a pic of SOHH Streetz, aka Keema. This bitch should not be talking down on ANYONE! Talkin all that shite, *SMH*

SMH, damn

Whoever says is a FLOP is straight up stupid. There is no way in hell that girl is a two hit wonder when she went down history for having 3 consecutive #1 albums. The Fool who said you have to google her songs to know it, that must only be you. ALICIA IS A LEGEND IN THE MAKING. OTHER THAN ALL THIS OTHER BUBBLE GUM POP SHIT LIKE BEYONCE, T-PAIN, & Rihanna.

Ja shit is fuckin garbage!!!!!
He needs to go back to the Venni Vetta Vicci days or how ever u spell that shit...lol
50 bout to start clownin that nigga again.

That Ja Rule song is unexpectedley excellent. Y'all use independent thought instead of letting others opinions speak for you. I am a programming director in Atlanta and this is a for sure hit. This song WILL be added by me and all other P.D.'s. If you dont smell a hit, then you are just not cut out for judging what sells and sounds good. And I bet half you people desire to be in this Biz. Get a Day Job!
