http://www.vladtv.com - Ja Rule opened up to VladTV about his first record deal with TVT when he was rolling with the Cash Money Click, and the Queens rapper believed the label could have been the biggest in the industry. He revealed that Dr. Dre shopped his "Chronic" album to the label, but CEO Steve Gottlieb turned the legendary rapper/producer down, along with Snoop Dogg, DMX, Jay Z, and more.

During the sit-down Ja Rule also spoke about how Irv Gotti's quick thinking got him signed with Def Jam, but he admitted that it was a tough decision since CEO Lyor Cohen didn't want to sign his Cash Money Click partners.

Ja explained that he was also put in a bind with Def Jam after he had trouble getting out of his TVT contract, which you can hear more about in the above clip.
