'''''The Mirror''''' is an album by [[rapping|rapper]] [[Ja Rule]]. The album was originally planned to be released on November 13, 2007 but was pushed back to an unknown date due to large amounts of leaked tracks from the album appearing on the Internet |
|||
==Background== |
|||
Ja Rule stated in a interview that there are seventeen tracks and only a few guest appearances because he wanted ''The Mirror'' to be about him. |
|||
In an interview with SOHH, Ja Rule commented on the album: |
|||
{{cquote|''The whole industry is so focused on beefin' with each other — it's like the WWE of rap right now. I'm stepping out of the arena. I don't want to be a wrestlin' rapper. Somebody's got to come in and make it positive. You have to make records that make people feel like having a good time. This record is like my confessions, I'm shedding my skins. ''The Mirror'' is your only real moment of truth. It's the place where everybody can go and be honest with themselves.''<ref name=SOHH>[http://www.sohh.com/articles/article.php/12396 Ja Rule CD Pushed Back, Rapper Teams Up With Game]</ref>}} |
|||
==The Atkins Files Vol. 1== |
|||
Ja Rule has been quiet within music since the album was leaked. However, as a 2008 Christmas present to all his fans, he released the "Atkins Files Vol. 1" on his Myspace page to the public after a lengthy silence. The name is taken from Ja Rule's surname, which is 'Atkins'. The semi-album contains unreleased, never heard of before tracks and several tracks from The Mirror, as he could not sell them due to the massive amount of leaking. It also contains several interview snippets where a woman is interviewing Ja Rule about the reason behind some songs, in which along the lines Ja reveals some information about his future plans, such as a sequel to his debut album, [[Venni Vetti Vecci]]. |
|||
The 'Vol. 1' indicates that Ja Rule intends to release an 'Atkins Files Vol. 2'. He has already stated that he is currently working on it. It is possibly a promotion for a secret project Ja Rule is working on, as there are rumors The Mirror has been shelved and Irv Gotti is refusing to let any Murder Inc artists release any new material.<ref name=ItsHipHop>[http://itshiphop.blogspot.com/2008/09/ja-rules-mirror-album-scrapped.html ItsHipHop: Ja Rule's The Mirror Album Scrapped]</ref> |
