RAPPER JA RULE STARTS JAIL TIME

JA SOUL

JA RULE? Ja Soul more like. 
Rapper Ja Rule has turned himself in to begin his two-year jail sentence for holding an illegal semiautomatic rifle in his car. 
Cops caught the 35-year-old with the serial number scratched off when they pulled him over for speeding after he left a show at Manhatttan's Beacon Theatre in July 2005.
Lil Wayne was arrested separately, but for the same charge, after headlining the same show, and spent about eight months in jail for the crime.
The 35-year-old who's really name is Jeffrey Atkins told Good Day New York: "Laws are laws. There's nothing I could really do but own up to the situation."

He also pleaded guilty in a New Jersey federal court in March to failing to pay taxes on more than $3 million in income for which he faces up to three years in prison although his lawyers are expected to try to arrange for his sentences to be served at the same time.
He's leaving fans with his first album in six years Pain of Love II a follow up to his Grammy Award winning "Pain is Love."
