Now considering majority of the hip hop world has written him off, you wouldnt think listening to PIL2 would change your mind. Think again. Not only does Ja still have the ability to make a bonafide hip hop crossover banger, this time he does it with pure honesty and depth. This is not your typical floss and flaunt it rap album. With tales of the dark side of fame and longings for better times, Ja Rule has never sounded so refreshing as an artist. Gone is the youthful womanizing thug. In its place stands a mature man who prior to finishing this album, faced his last moments of freedom before serving a 2 year prison bid. If you really do your research on where Ja was at in his life prior to this album, it makes the experience all the more believable. There is a dark undertone throughout PIL2, despite the extravagant production from 7 Aurelius. No high profile guest features here...just Ja. It's crazy how different this album is to the original Pain is Love, but definitely different in a good way.There are no faults that I can think of, other than it being slightly short overall. This one's made me fan all over again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Realest Hip-Hop album of the decade *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2012* Simply put, this album has an amazing vibe and it's definitely my most favorite album to date. No wonder - with 7 Aurelius (producer) on board, you can only get hits and classic material. There are no filler tracks, just play and enjoy the ride!What artist would spend his last days and hours of freedom in the studio, recording an album? This definitely shows Ja Rule's love for his fans and his dedication to music.The concept of this album is truly amazing. It's like art. If you don't know Ja's story before this album, then I'd recommend you to listen some of his past albums to get a better view of PIL2's lyrics. This album brings back a lot of precious memories, especially for those like me who grew up with Ja Rule's music.In other words: Definitely a MUST-HAVE! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most important album of his career *by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2012* Well where do I start allways been a fan of JA and this album is a long time coming for his fans to me its not a comeback album people forget about R.U.L.E album with hits such as new york and wonderful to me its a return to the hip op scene and a welcome one at that. I would have too say that it delivers on all levels from his hardcore rap Venni Vetti Vecci days to his soft or melodic songs like on pain is love, Personally its a fresh album very mature album as things have changed in his life he shares the experiences on his songs you can feel the passion he has I hope he gets a good charting single because he deserves it my favourites are superstar,strange days,and black vodka get this album JA RULE IS BACK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/178093598-pil-2](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/178093598-pil-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
