Hey I hope It is ok to post a thread like this- seeing as I thought the movie one works pretty well.

Anyway I just wanted to ask about 'I'm Gonna Be Alright'.
I know the original version had 50 cent on it, do you guys know the reason why Nas wound up on the record?

Sony had signed 50 Cent before he was famous, they threw him on the "Im Gonna Be Alright" remix to promote him, get him exposure, and it was cheap.

Once word got to Ja Rule and Irv Gotti, whom were enjoying their smash success with Murder Inc. and JLo's "I'm Real" & "Aint It Funny" remix, Irv Gotti flipped out.

Irv and Ja Rule HATE 50 Cent, so they called Sony or Jen threatening them to remove 50 Cent off the remix (but it was too late 50 Cent made it on the "J to the L-O" final album) and threatened them that they better not put 50 Cent on the video or single, so Sony and Jennifer replaced 50 Cent last minute with Nas, in which Nas was currently recording some stuff with Murder Inc. at that time as well, after the hit single (wasn't a smash) was released 50 Cent got shot up (supposedly by Murder Inc's people) or something and then got dropped by Sony B

But Karma came back and ate up Ja Rule (he has no career now) and Jennifer (Rebirth debuted at #2, which would have been #1, but 50 Cent moved his album down to Jennifer's "Rebirth" album date causing "Rebirth" to look like a flop comparted to his numbers - 50 sold almost a million in a week, Jen sold a little over 200,000), so Jen has been struggling ever since Rebirth and 50 Cent vowed that he would end Ja Rule and anyone that worked with Ja Rule. And well Jen's not really over, but hasn't had a smash since "All I Have" which was many years ago True story.

as far as I know it was Sony and 50 Cents' decision and not Jennys...
