I'm Real (Jennifer Lopez Song)
"I'm Real" is the name of two songs recorded by Jennifer Lopez, both primarily for her second studio album, J.Lo (2001). The original version was released as the album's fourth single; Ja Rule of The Inc. Records (formerly known as Murder Inc. Records) wrote and was featured on a new version of the song, entitled "I'm Real (Murder Remix)", which was featured on a reissue of J.Lo in July 2001. This version also Lopez's remix album, J to tha L-O!: The Remixes (2002), and Ja Rule's third studio album, Pain Is Love (2001). Ja Rule had been brought in after the moderate US performance of "Play", the second single from J.Lo. Singer Ashanti (also on The Inc.) provided backing vocals on the Murder Remix. The murder remix topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five non-consecutive weeks, beginning September 8, 2001, and also topped the Hot 100 Airplay Chart. The two songs are essentially different songs with the same title. Much controversy followed the song after its release.

Famous quotes containing the word real:
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
