- This is actually a very very important
Super Late Morning Show today.
We're having a Ja Rule release party.
He is not releasing an album
because he's in prison.
- So this is actually a release party
for him getting out of prison.
We got Big Homie here on the ones and twos.
Know wham saying and you know what, Big Homie,
give us three seconds of some Ja Rule right now.
♫ Murda, holla holla
All right, the reason we're playing three seconds is cause
legally we're only allowed to play three seconds.
- We play more than three seconds we get sued.
I'm not tryna go to jail for Ja Rule.
- Ladies and gentlement welcome back to the Cipha Sounds
and Rosenberg show.
Now we got some special guests here.

this party you have planned.
- Okay, it's gonna be a Ja Rule release party.
- Wait he has a record coming out?
- Nah, nah, he's getting released from prison.
- He's getting out of jail.
- Because this is Hot 97, if you come up to promote
you know we're gonna keep it 100% real.
No one's coming to this party.
- Why would you say--
- Do you not remember how the Ja Rule story ended,
he was really hot, and then he went to jail,
and then everyone forgot the whole thing ever happened.
- Yeah but the heat was still on him.
I don't think the heat ever left.
- The heat never leaves Ja Rule.
Ja Rule leaves the heat.
