Ja Rule considers the lack of role models for many young black men today—a void that leads to bad choices and the wrong paths. Recalling his youth, he illuminates the seductive pull of the streets and the drug dealers who were his earliest role models.Jeffrey Atkins offers practical wisdom—reflection, growth and hope learned first-hand as an inmate, father, husband, and community role model. He speaks fondly of men who inspired Unruly—the inmates he met in prison whose misguided ideas of masculinity landed them behind bars—and Louis Farrakhan who mediated the televised encounter with Ja Rule’s adversary, 50 Cent.Unruly is a compelling, personal look at the duality and conflicts that arise in the African-American male psyche from a man who has enjoyed breathtaking fame and suffered heartbreaking misfortune. Well, what hasnt Jeffrey Atkins a/k/a Ja Rule, been through? Im sure there is much he left out of his memoir, but it was important for him to speak about what matters--his reputation as a rapper, his humanity, being a father and loving husband.It was nice to see Rule grow as he told his story, which is very familiar for many of us having grown up poor, in the projects and the mean streets of the ghetto. From having an absent father, to a mother who worked hard to put food on the table and keep her son close to her heart. His early beginnings sort of stunned me because I couldnt imagine him having such a religious background. I suppose it felt weird reading his upbringing based on the news reports we all heard or read.He came clean, as any celebrity can, about his beef with 50 Cent and the take down of his record label Murder, Inc. His words were poetic in some ways and mesmerizing as he told of his drug dealing days and coming so close to death a few times. Thank God behind every good man is a greater woman, and his wife who certainly is his ride or die, stood firm beside her man in all that he did. Im sure it wasnt easy having a famous husband who liked the ladies.Ja is back better than ever and living his life. Hes been out of prison for about a year now, and it is my hope for him that he never ever sees the inside of a real jail cell again. Its one thing to portray an inmate on the silver screen, but to actually live it is an entirely different matter. This is a pretty decent read.My only criticisms would be there werent any pictures in the Kindle version, which is a bummer for a fan, and his story jumped around a great deal to the point it was hard to concentrate on one thing or another. As soon as he got me interested in one area, he would jump to something else. However, it doesnt take much away from his story and its a good read. I say well done. I wish you the best Ja!
