It may help to emphasize that there was a time in this country when anything Ja Rule touched with his signature flow -- and by signature I mean it sounded like Cookie Monster gargling sandpaper in between bong rips for the duration of a court-mandated anger management session -- turned to stacks of cash. His reign also coincided with a golden age for the music video as a medium, as the \u003cem>Grease \u003c/em>homage below can help underscore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcP96KbFIIU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashanti, for her part, is well-known by those in the industry as a gifted songwriter, while her voice is sweet beyond sweet. But she was primarily packaged for listeners as the bad-guy rappers' kid sister, \"the princess of hip-hop and R&B,\" the soft, feminine half of the call-and-response hooks on songs like Fat Joe's \"What's Luv.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x99ZmVefxc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also poised, at one time, to be a legit superstar: After playing second fiddle for several years, Ashanti's 2002 self-titled debut hit the Billboard charts at No. 1, in large part thanks to \"Foolish.\" From 2002 to 2003, she won eight Billboard Awards, two American Music Awards, two Soul Train Music Awards and a Grammy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUPrnu3BEU8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then she started dating Nelly, and Murder Inc. got investigated by the FBI for (allegedly) running on \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/72794/report-feds-raid-murder-inc-in-irv-gotti-probe\" target=\"_blank\">actual murder and drug money\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/72794/report-feds-raid-murder-inc-in-irv-gotti-probe\" target=\"_blank\">;\u003c/a> her third, fourth, and fifth records didn't do so well. She dabbled in acting, but by 2014 she was on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_25957710/alameda-county-fair-preview-ashanti-tesla-eddie-money\" target=\"_blank\">county fair circuit with Eddie Money\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay, so that's a condensed and possibly biased version of the story, but it's true that her Wikipedia entry is full of sad sentences like this: \"A second single, the ballad '\u003ca title=\"Don't Let Them\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Let_Them\">Don't Let Them\u003c/a>,' garnered little chart success after \u003ca class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Def Jam\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Jam\">Def Jam\u003c/a> refused to fund a music video due to Irv Gotti's legal troubles during his money laundering trial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I'm trying to say here is: Ashanti was awesome. Ashanti kinda got the shaft. But Ashanti is\u003cem> back, \u003c/em>y'all -- at least she's trying to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November of 2015, the singer quietly released a new pop single called \"Let's Go,\" the first off a full-length that's supposedly forthcoming this year. You can see the video for it -- and the only slightly awkward \"drink more water\" campaign tie-in with Michelle Obama's Partnership for a Healthier America -- at\u003ca href=\"http://www.drinkupashanti.com/\" target=\"_blank\"> DrinkUpAshanti.com.\u003c/a> Said website encourages fan interaction by telling viewers to \"rehydrate\" the new tune, and also includes the disclaimer: \"Do not throw actual water on the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-20208 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/02/ja-rule-400x104.jpg\" alt=\"ja rule\" width=\"451\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/02/ja-rule-400x104.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/02/ja-rule.jpg 638w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ja Rule, meanwhile, after beefing with 50 Cent and like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja_Rule#Feuds\" target=\"_blank\">4000 other people\u003c/a>, serving time for gun possession, and writing a memoir, premiered an MTV reality show in 2015 called \u003cem>Follow the Rules. \u003c/em>He\u003cem> \u003c/em>also keeps saying he has an album coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Time will tell what the future holds for this pair in terms of an actual return to cultural relevance. For now, it seems both Ashanti and Ja Rule still have enough marketing savvy in the tank to know when they need each other -- when, exactly, it would be foolish \u003cem>not \u003c/em>to team up for a \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6714609/ja-rule-mtv-series-follow-the-rules-natural-born-killers-tour\" target=\"_blank\">weird-sounding film collaboration and accompanying national reunion tour\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, you can't blame 'em: the time was simply right for the prom king and queen of 2001 to cash in on their former selves -- to unironically celebrate, at the very least, a few golden, well-produced years in the sun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from the speed with which \u003ca href=\"http://www.axs.com/events/306285/ja-rule-ashanti-sold-out-tickets\" target=\"_blank\">these shows are selling out\u003c/a>, it looks like a lot of us are happy to help them do just that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrCsubL_OSQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
