There's hope for all of us …

We're not so much shocked that Ja Rule got clocked in the head with a beer can, then offered the crowd $1,000 to snitch on the one who did it, then slapped the stink off of the culprit, so much as we're surprised the Queens-bred rapper is still finding stages to get on.

At a recent show during Harrah's Pool After Dark series in Atlantic City, an unnamed (presumably) drunk reportedly sent an empty can Ja's way and connected with sniper accuracy. Dumb stage shit happens all the time, so this isn't all that uncommon (even though it's fucked up), but, damn, the growl-voiced legend is still getting work?

Theres hope for all of us …
