I'm Real (Murder Remix)
Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule
2001
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 2001
Release: 2001Source checked
V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The original 2001 Ja Rule album independently contains the named Murder Remix, corroborating the 2001 Jennifer Lopez guest version. Its later J.Lo insertion carries an inherited January field that is not used as the first day; the original solo recording is different.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.
J.Lo - original album and earlier single fields
Original 2001 program and Love Don't Cost a Thing's earlier 2000 field. Original solo Ain't It Funny is separate from the later Murder Remix. The added I'm Real Murder Remix's inherited January day is not used.
I'm Real Murder Remix - independent original 2001 item
The same specifically named Ja Rule/Lopez collaboration appears on the original 2001 Pain Is Love program. Corroborates 2001 without using the inherited January day in the later J.Lo insertion; primary release credit is retained from J.Lo.
About Jennifer Lopez
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Jennifer Lopez began her recording career with On the 6 in 1999 after establishing herself as an actress. The Bronx-born performer combined English-language R&B and dance-pop with Spanish-language songs, including a duet with Marc Anthony. Later records expanded the role of rap collaborations and electronic club production, while Como Ama una Mujer centered Spanish-language material. Her catalog also includes quieter ballads and film-linked singles, with the 2024 This Is Me...Now continuing her studio work.
