Rule 3:36 is rapper Ja Rule's second studio album.
"336" contained a song called "F**k You", which was titled "Furious" for radio play. The song received average airplay, and is also on the soundtrack to The Fast and the Furious (where it is titled "Furious"). It is considered one of the album's highlights despite its non-radio and offensive tone. The disc is still mostly radio-friendly pop-themed music unlike his other albums, which contain disses of a more dark tone. The album still contains explicit material, and was made in a clean version which only removes profanity and drug/violent lyrics are left in, although some profanity like the words "hoes" and "ass" are also left in.

Rule 3:36 sold 276,000 in its first week.[9] Initial critical response to Rule 3:36 was average. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 56, based on 5 reviews.[10] It has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA.[11]
