Hopefully he can continue to maintain a somewhat positive attitude about this.

To recap, back in March Ja Rule was given a June 8 start date for his two-year prison term for a NY gun charge AND he plead guilty to tax evasion in NJ, for unpaid taxes on over $3 million of income!

Last we heard from him, he had spent his last day on the outside with his family before his sentence began.

Now, a little over a month into his prison term, Ja Rule will be

We're glad to hear he had his priorities in order for his last day on the outside.

Back in March, rapper/actor Ja Rule was given a June 8 start date for his two-year prison term for a NY gun charge AND he plead guilty to tax evasion in NJ, for unpaid taxes on over $3 million of income!

His two-year prison sentence starts today, but at least he seems to have had a nice send-off from his family yesterday. Here's what he tweeted about it:

My last day out chillin wit the Fam and the kids at the movies Xmen let's gooooo!!!

How nice! We give credit to Ja for facing the music and doing his time. Hopefully he comes out strong, Weezy-style!

Good luck, Ja! We'll see U again soon!

Earlier this month, rapper/actor Ja Rule was given a June 8 start date for his two-year prison term for a NY gun charge.

At the time, Ja's lawyer said he'd be finishing his new album Renaissance Project, and taking care of "tax matters" until the beginning of his prison term.

Apparently, he had some SERIOUS tax matters to take care of, because on Tuesday he plead guilty to tax evasion in NJ, for unpaid taxes on over $3 million of income!

Looks like he'll be sentenced for his tax evasion charges this June.

At least he's facing the music and getting all of his affairs in order before prison.

Who knows? Maybe his album will sell REALLY well, and then he'll come back strong in two years.

If Weezy can do it…

Well, that's quite a departing gift, isn't it?

Before beginning his two-year jail sentence for gun possession, Ja Rule has promised fans that he will be releasing a new album - one day before reporting to jail!!

Over the weekend, he wrote on his Twitter account:

Breaking news………RENAISSANCE PROJECT JUNE 7th!!! Mpire Music…

Ja pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon after he was arrested during a traffic stop. Police found an unlicensed .40 caliber handgun in the backseat of his Maybach.

Last week, a judge allowed Ja to finish his album and resolve an outstanding tax issue until June 8.

This will be his first album release since 2007's The Mirror.

We bet Ja fans are happy that the judge granted him time to finish the album.

With four years of material, we have expectations for the new disc. Too bad he won't be able to celebrate the release of his album - unless he has a party of one behind bars.

Whomp whomp.

Last month, Ja Rule's sentencing date for his July 2007 New York gun charge was rescheduled to March 9.

Now, the rapper/actor has been sentenced for his two-year prison term, which will begin on June 8.

At least he'll be productive in the meanwhile. According to Ja's lawyer, he'll be finishing his new album Renaissance Project and he'll spend time taking care of "tax matters" until his prison term begins.

As we said before, we hope Ja will learn his lesson after his prison time. Carrying around loaded semi-automatic firearms is NOT acceptable.

Thoughts on Ja Rule's prison sentence? How ’bout his new album?

Back in December, rapper/actor Ja Rule pleaded guilty to a New York gun charge from July 2007.

He was due in court yesterday to get a sentencing date, but prosecutors said that "changes are needed in a presentencing report," so the court date has been rescheduled to March 9.

Enjoy this next month, Ja! Looks like that prison sentence is likely to start sometime in March.

Hopefully, he'll learn his lesson after his two-year prison stint. Can't be carrying around loaded semi-automatic firearms, Ja. NOT cool.

Do U think two years is a reasonable prison sentence for being caught in possession of a loaded gun?

This morning, Ja Rule pleaded guilty to an attempted criminal possession of a weapon charge in New York.

The case comes to a close after three years of litigation. Ja was found with a loaded semiautomatic gun in his car when he was pulled over for speeding in July 2007.

Now, he's been sentenced to a two-year prison stint, but it is still undetermined as to when he will begin serving his sentence. As he left the courthouse, sources report that he declined to talk about the case, but muttered that today wasn't a "good day."

Yeah, that's as big as an understatement as it gets.
