Remakes, reboots, cinematic universes, and sequels: These are the titans of cinema in 2019. Out of the top 10 highest-grossing movies of the year<\/a>, 60% of the titles are some sort of sequel, three are superhero movies from the MCU, two are live-action remakes of classic Disney cartoons, and only one is based on a completely original idea (Jordan Peele\u2019s Us<\/em><\/a>). Movie studios are glorified IP farms, and it looks like full-time rap legend and part-time music industry visionary, Ja Rule, is looking to leverage this opportunity in his field.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Ja Rule<\/a> announced via Twitter that he\u2019s planning to film a music video for every song he\u2019s ever released, which seems daunting and enticing and enticing in equal measures. \u201cI will be rereleasing ALL of my albums as visual albums,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI will be making a video for every song I\u2019ve ever made\u2026what songs do y\u2019all wanna see videos for?\u201d After some thought, Ja backtracked the statement. Instead, updating fans that he will not be shooting videos for songs that already have visuals and admitting that he\u2019d film around 40 videos. Predictably, many publications and people rolled their eyes at the news, but if Hollywood can re-package the same content in perpetuity, why can\u2019t Ja?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear when these visual albums will be released, what directors will be tapped to bring this cinematic universe to life, and, more importantly, what streaming service will distribute this grand experiment (can anyone say exclusive Netflix deal?). Nevertheless, it appears that Ja is ready and willing to test the boundaries of entertainment and technology once again.<\/p>\n
