Atlantic Brass Says Fat Joe Still on Board

Fat joe has been doing his thing for over a decade......but i think hes alright as a rapper. Im one of the few cats who thought "lean back" was garbage.

Fat joe is just okay. He's definitely not on my top 20 list of favorite mc's. Some of his stuff is okay and some of it is just plain garbage.

Fatjoe should finally release albums for his terror squad fam individual efforts like tony sunshine, arm, and triple seis at least give your loyal crew a shot straight up....

He needs to rock wit d.i.tc. Again.

Only if big l was still alive

Yea i kno:(

But it"ll be nice for him to rock on at least one joint with the other members.

Hovito imma do you one better, joe aint even top 5 latino rappers. He barley beat rico suave....to make the list.

U gotta flow joe ..u gotta let em know joe!! you kalliope they call me rico suavemente papi!!

Nah joe sucks now-but then he ill. Im talking like 92 93-94] d n d all stars or ditc sh*t-he was doing it.

I hear ya kalliope4eva!! another thing that really gets me about fat joe is that he said that big pun was the greatest mc ever. Now, i have respect for pun and what he did to the game, but he's another one that's not even on my top 20 list. May his sould rest in peace. I just can't stand it when a rapper dies, then all of his dudes will start claiming that they were the greatest to ever do it. Whatever. Big pun and fat joe are not in the same supreme lyricist category like jay-z and nas.

This faggot is some straight up garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fvck this nigg@!

Wtf!!!!-pun is one of the greatest lyricist of all time. His breath control alone was F*ck*ng amazing..... And the sh*t he kicked was bonkers he'll be in my top 20.

I'm not saying that big pun was wack. He was a decent lyricist. But c'mon, he only dropped 2 albums. The first one was fire and the second one was so so. I would definitely give more respect to ll cool j over big pun.

I feel you hovito..but if anybody knows anything about recording...pun couldnt spit what he did in the booth live...all they did was overdub him with another track so it gave the effect that he was spitting his verse all the way thru...that dude couldnt keep his breath like that....no way in hell. But i aint gonna shyt on what pun did...but speaking of swagger jackers..joe stole a deadmans (puns) swag in a major way...lol. Like he jumped in his skin, took the pun chain and all.

Shit to be honest... I think 2pac was an ight rapper.(ima wait to some one curses me out) or dispute me to futher explain. Cuz i kno i cant say that w/o a rebuttle.

And oh if u defend tupac-cuz people are on are goin to defend him to the death-i assume. Dont give me the generic reasons of why u like him. Oh cuz hes a thug-or his actions was gangsta-he got shot mad times and managed to walk out the hospital waving his middle finger]-or he got mad unreleased albums-or he relates to ghetto youth-(or he could see his own death-(sh*t if any one had the ammount of beef he had-you wouldnt need cleo to see ur own death coming) and my personal favorite -he had the ability to predict the future like a prophet.

Why wanst he hot then cense?

Im more of a biggie fan then a 2pac fan. Especially back in those east coast verse west coast days of the mid 90's. But lookin back and still today, i can see that 2pac was a F*ck*ng movement. He really did speak for the youth. People could (and still do) feel his struggle, pain, aggression, and sorrows that he went through growing up in impoverished circumstances, trying to survive. He touched a whole generation of people. Blacks, whites, mexicans, etc could really feel him and relate to him. Unfortunately, it took till after his death for people to see the brillance displayed by this man, so really you cant knock what this man has done for hiphop. You can call him the bob marley of hiphop.many, despite what race or nationality could feel him and relate to his pain felt through his music. Is 2pac the best lyricist of all time. Maybe not. But the man touched on so many important social issues (abortion, murder, suicide, etc) that had to be addressed. Shit, theres even a class at some university in california based on his work. Let me say that again. Theres even a class at some major university in california based on his work. You know that you have made some kind of impact when your curriculum package at a major university can contain the works of a rapper. Im just saying, sometimes it aint always about the lyrics, but about the content.

To me he wasnt saying any thing that wasnt already being said-the one thing that catepolt his legend-besides his death-was his persoanlity. He was charming, charasmatic, street-wise, he had a way of werds, and he said what he felt-when he felt. He was the dude you could love-and hate and love again. Okay maybe sayin dude was ight was a bit harsh- he had talent-he wasnt the greatest rapper in m y opinion but he brought his level of consicousness to the table]which certifies his legend-infact the greatest rapper title in my eyes belongs to no one. Its too many cats, styles, rhymes, regional differences style, lyrical skeme, & flow. Its to hard for any one to be the greatest of all time in my opinion.

Plus time plays a factor. What was hot in 1973 was re-define in 83' and the same in 93 and "03". Of course the early sh*t is classic, but each time period calls for a change of course. Thas why its difficult to call any single rapper the greatest, even though some material is so classic it stands the test of time.

Yeah i agree about the fact that there is no greatest rapper of all time...you can make a case for nas, jayz, 2pac, biggie, eminem...even ll cool j but there are always going to be people who feel differently.

I think one of the main reasons i liked pac was because his music stands the test of tyme. His lyrics still stand, its not like he was talking about gear, or cars.....alllll of his lyrics stand the test of tyme. Cats still popping cris. I dont think it was a topic the cat aint hit...he showed the full spectrum of lyfe...young and hungry, renagade, distructive, artistic, love, women,hoes, lost, hurt, betrayal, err'thang. All his joints was like he opened his chest and poured it all out, with no gimmicks...

Thats right, kalliope.

Tru i feel u kalliope and u know what -- u and jeru gave the best reasons on y yall may dig pac or his music. Most of the time i have dumb ass reasons why people like him.

On the real, pac could make a grown individual cry. Take it from a nj orange city blue g. No one in hip hop/rap history could make a cat remember the lost fair ones, ride on a crab and be humble all with one single. Fresh out. . .

That may be true-i think cl smooth flows had the same effect-not comparing -jus making a personal observation. He has to have one -if not the greatest flow of all time

My word, fat joe get luv in the bronx, that's it. That fat b*st*rd has no flow, no swagger, takes his style from who ever is hot at the moment. Back in 93, this cat was rappin like the fu schnikens over some rza type production. In 98, he sounded like everyone out of the firm. Now the cat is still wearing pink and puts his vocals on any producer gets good marks with that b*tch ray benzino and his magazine. Thank g.o.d. 50 exposed this marshmellow. See him for what he his. Fat joe is no rapper, he a pastry of the day. .. . Cream filling even

Lmao @ rdibiase...i thought that when i heard "whats love" ft. Ashanti...lmao...not saying he cant make his paper but he went outta character alot from ditc....ya' gotta flow joe ya gotta flow. Ta' "whatssss luuuvvv" singing and dancing...but like i said i just think he was stealing puns swagger..on some "crush alot" type vibe so i gave him a pass.lol.

Then he came back with nelly, r kelly, anybody thats like top ten....and i dont ever remember joe being flossed out...back in the day he was in the hoodies looking like a member of the def squad...with the timbs and baggy jeans....now he wanna be baby/cam'ron/pun. I dont know whuts next for this guy...

Yo big pun had two albums just like b.i.g so in my opinion they both accomplish the same thing. You can't say one of them did more than the other if they both brought out the same amount of albums

You big pimpin!!!!

Fat joe suck go get a tread and kill your self buy you a tread mill and go F*ck your self you suck as a rapper you should quit hip hop i got a 5 year old brother he raps better then u what u talking about

Come on people this is not here for negetivity. How'd you like to have fat joe's money? again i post wake up record companies and give us fresh new artist with new sounds. If you can't do it then it's time to shake the tree and let the old fruits at the top drop to the ground and rot.
