Ja Rule

Constructor: Justin Lim

Time: 15:54.  A v.satisfying Google-less solve; my better tushnet led me by a little and I made my coveted "< 2 x Rex" goal.

CrossWorld buzz: Very nice.  High-value tiles popping out all over; nice mini-themes w/WHAT-HATH, RUBBERY-LATEX, ALMA MATER-UCLA; some sorta painful fill as Rex notes, but hey.   We CrossWorlders can suss out the scrabbliness of a puzz like Justin L.'s and use it to our benefit, as I did in getting EXPLETIVE in the SE, the last corner that fell for me.  That's a v. satisfying feeling--nice to be in the club!

CrossOver buzz.  Very nice.  The poppy, mod general feel here is v.good.  I think that general vibe matters more to regular folks than to denizens w/ our more particularized preferences.
