While you was away, was around the time I made Put It On Me
56

Block noteTurns sexual access into humiliation
Target50 Cent
MeaningWhat it means: In “Who cares I been blowin' your bitch back out for years,” Ja Rule uses a sexual claim or joke to deny 50 Cent control of an intimate relationship and to make the opponent look publicly rejected, displaced, or embarrassed. Why it was said: The record belongs to the long-running conflict between Ja Rule and Murder Inc. and 50 Cent's camp. The dispute widened to include G-Unit, Eminem, Dr. Dre, DMX, Busta Rhymes and others through affiliations, response records and personal accusations. The point is provocation rather than romance: bringing private access into the record raises the emotional cost of the feud and pressures 50 Cent to answer a claim that an audience can easily repeat.
ContextThe record belongs to the long-running conflict between Ja Rule and Murder Inc. and 50 Cent's camp. The dispute widened to include G-Unit, Eminem, Dr. Dre, DMX, Busta Rhymes and others through affiliations, response records and personal accusations.
