What better album title than this?
Fat Joke's album cover has been swarming internet outlets harder than the Diddy Internet Marketing Campaign. It was made clear that I'm supposed to be doing a blog about the moron, but I can't think of anything nice to say.
Anyways. After many trips to the pitfall, the kid from Trinity Ave is trying again. I was feelin' the joint "No Drama (aka Clap and Revolve)" even though it sounded like another Rick Ross "Hustlin.’†But to be honest, ever since Pun passed I've never really paid Joe any mind, and although I recognized his little bit of street cred or whatever you call it, I've never respected his selfishness, self-centered, "all-about-me-fuck-my-crew-I'm-going-platinum-again" agenda.
If anyone hasn't caught on by now, Joe doesn't rhyme for his peoples, he doesn't rhyme from the heart, he's a bandwagon rider who only does what he thinks is going to sell. If Ricky Ross hadn't come out with that "Hustlin'" jumpoff, Joe wouldn't have followed up with his version of it. In addition to that, this Lil' Wayne collabo is totally wack. And I'm not saying this because Wayne's from the South. This shit is gah-bage.
"Now why's everybody so mad at the South for/Change your style up, switch to southpaw/ Jada I was listenin’ (listenin’) so I made him a anthem to make some dividends/ Lil’ mama try hit me with the “Shoulder Leanâ€/ This Cooked Coke Crack and I control the team…"
Yawn.
Tony Sunshine...waste of talent. Dude's voice is crazy. Armageddon...waste of talent. Prospect...waste of talent. Remy Maâ€"the only reason many dudes even pay Terror Squad any mind... gone. And why? Mainly because Joe refuses to put down the mic. He refuses to have the best interest in his "peoples." He refuses to give. He only thinks about himself. PERFECT album title, son. Couldn't be more appropriate.
Maybe if Joe spit from the heart and made music for the love of it, he would actually get somewhere. But when something is generic, it seeps right through. Hopefully this will be… THE END.

first bitches. Fuck the south
Its clear that you dont like fat joe but is he really that worse than the rest of todays main stream rappers? he makes a few club joints and calls it a day. truthfully thats all fat joe is really worth in my eyes. so i guess i really dont like him either. your right, ever since pun passed joes been on some its-my-time-to-shine shit. all in all..joe..give us somethin to smack up hoes bootys to on the dance floor and keep it movin
im from the south and i dont like how fat joe lame ass tried to put lil wayne on the whole song shit its really lil waynes song dumb fool on xm radio talkin bout man "gunit over fuck them niggaz" when nobody even asked him about them, his dumbass should have been trying to promote his album cuz that nigga need all the help he can get
this dude that right this shit is a hatin as nigga that make it rain joint with wezzy is hardbody u talking bout he makin music that sell then if that the case wats show me wat u got that shit ain't from hov's hart or nothing like that he came with a catchy ass song niggaz is gonna listen to me myslef i never really was fellin hov. but that hate on crack. i bet his album will be better than that Lloyd banks shit.
I have Respect for Joe Crack, Cause his FIRST 3 ablums was DOPE !!! His Street Cred is up to Par, but dude dont give his FAM NO SHINE !!! VERY TRUE.. Joe is good at best FAR from WACK.
Niggaz is crazy! I live in New York and I'm tired of clowns talking bad about the Nigga Fat Joe!
FAT JOE IS A LEGEND!
First off, he's a real street cat. Nigga was doin' it in the late 80's- JOE CRACK! Terror Squad a dope team at the Rucker, an ex-street gang, an old B-Boy crew, a rap group. Joe's really for real like that! That's more than you can say for 90% of these new NY motherfuckers! Buckshot of Bootcamp Clik even says Fat Joe is the REAL King of New York.
Let's not forget he was in D.I.T.C.
His first three albums are classic hood albums.
He brought in Big Pun, who is part of the trinity with 2Pac and B.I.G.
He's been doing it over a decade and has learned to change with the times.
Nobody can say that he do his Niggaz that dirty, you never know the whole story. It seems to me like Fat Joe the only one who hustles in his click. Thats the problem.
Oh, and I think he got at 50 Cent with My Fo Fo. Very underrated diss song.
The Nigga Fat Joe can actually act pretty good too.
Ever seen 'Empire'?
Plus, Fat Joe was one of the original rappers who had Niggaz wearing his clothing line: FJ 560.
Remember that old shit? Lol.
I don't know about ya'll but I do respect Fat Joe as an artist but not too much as a person. However since I personally don't know the ni99a I can't pull his card bcuz Joe Crack has consistently made that good, hood music I can nod my head to moreover, there are plenty of artist out there who I respect musically but could give to shyts about what they do else where. Maybe if Joe started collaborating with people on his own team 1st b4 he does so with ni99as outside his crew, people would show him more respect.
But fuck that, the Mets lost last night I'm fuckin' heated! But we gonna win 2 in a row and we still winning the World Series bytches!
Oh, and I think he got at 50 Cent with My Fo Fo. Very underrated diss song.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thats real talk, plus the track "Victim" was ill as well. But damn u co-signing Joe kinda hard u must be Puerto Rican lol
THIS IS WHY SOHH NY IS WACK. EVERYTIME THIS FAGGOT OF A BLOGWRITER WRITES SOMETHING, HE'S HATING ON NY RAPPERS. IF WE HATE ON OUR RAPPERS THAT ARE PUTTING OUT GREAT MATERIAL, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT NY TO "COME BACK". ROTTEN APPLE WAS A GREAT ALBUM TO BRING NY BACK TO THAT GUTTER SOUNDING FEEL. SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS WACK, BUT THEY CANT EVEN GIVE A VALID REASON. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT ITS WACK. WHY IS IT WACK U DUM FUCKS? BECAUSE BANKS SEEMS TO BE ON G-UNIT? PRETEND HE ISNT ON G-UNIT FOR ONE SPLIT SECOND AND THEN MAKE YOUR JUDGEMENT. FAT JOE'S ALBUM DIDNT EVEN COME OUT YET AND ALREADY HATE IS BEING SPEWED. FUCK SOHH RECKLESS BECAUSE THE NIGGA NEVER SPITS ANYTHING POSITIVE UNLESS ITS FUCKING MOS DEF (WHICH ISNT A BAD THING) OR ANOTHER RAPPER WHO DONT HAVE HIS NAME KNOWN LIKE THAT NATIONALLY. IF YOU LOOK ON ANY OTHER SECTION: SOHH LEFT COAST, SOHH ATLANTA, SOHH HOUSTON, THEY ARE NOT HATING ON THEIR RAPPERS AND REGION LIKE THIS PIECE OF SHIT SOHH RECKLESS. SOHH.COM, ASSIGN SOMEONE WITH INTELLIGENCE TO RUN SOHH NY, PLEASE
i mean i have always liked fat joe's music but as a bizness man he isn't that good because if you have a crew with that many people you atleast try to make sure the other artist get their solo albums out
@BLAZO
Yeah, I'm from FLORIDA and it seems like this SOHH RECKLESS guy hates on every rapper that New York produces.
@RECKLESS
By pointing out the flaws of your artists everyday on your blogs YOU ARE INFLUENCING PEOPLE to not only not buy their albums, but to not even give them a chance.
You'd be surprised how many people read these blogs and see them as a source of FACT and NOT OPINION.
Yall be killin' me! You up north cats want New York to come back, but yall diss every New York artist that comes out. I guess Jay-Z nd Nas droppin their albums is the answer huh?!
yeah that banks is banging well at least good enough to download
fat joe thats that nigga but he does hogg all the fame from his click but if you think about it niggas like llcoolj
snoop jay-z many more that i cant think of never really let they click shine
real talk
BLAZO I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ABOUT THIS BLOG WRITER. YESTERDAY I HIT EM' IN HEAD REGARDING HIS HATE ON LLOYD BANKS AND HE REMOVE MY BLOG. BUT HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED HE OVER 500 HITS. THIS DUDE AND SOHH REFUSE TO BE UN BIASED REGARDING THE NYC RAP SCENE. ONE OF THE REASON THAT NYC CAN'T COME UP IS BECUASE OF NONSENSE LIKE THIS. AND PLEASE READ THIS QUICK BECUASE THIS BLOG WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! REAL TALK SOUTHSIDE JAMAICA, QUEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Fat Joe was a real nigga, about 5 years ago. Since then he has been all about nothing. Lean Back was alright but then after the 5th time I heard it I was done. Cuban Link gone and Triple Seis gone, why? Fat Joe greedy ass. YEAH HE PUT ON PUN (WHICH IS THE ONLY GOOD THING HE DID FOR HIP-HOP. THANKS JOE APPRECIATE THOSE) AND YEAH HE WAS A MEMBER OF D.I.T.C. (EVEN THOUGH HE PLAYED SECOND FIDDLE TO BIG L, DIAMOND D AND LORD FINESSE) BUT THAT DON'T MAKE HIS MUSUC NICE. I'm a NY nigga and I could care less about this motherfucker.
P.S. Remy Ma looks like a fucking TRANSEXUAL

@ Xclusive BK Dude
I could care less about who wins the NL penant as long as they give it to the Tigers. Motherfuckers killed my Yankees.
Peace to Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran and albert Puljos.
What up Reckless...
The difference between you and other Blog writers is that everyday they write blogs bigging up the artists in their region and everyday you write blogs trying to tear yours down...You are helping to keep East Coast hip hop irrelevant...
Think About it...
FAT JOE been washed up...he aint a business man ...he fucked T-Squad all up after PUN died.
I agree with RECKLESS for ONCE. Joe's a waste of time but his music should be given a chance to prove otherwise.
My issue with TS is the same with most modern era artists. Too much reliance on gimmicks and in Joe's case his ethnicity is his gimmick. Ricans feel obligated to buy his trash. LOL!
Joe talking excessively about his heritage is no different than dudes from a particular region expecting cats from their area to buy their albums.
Let's forget all this throw your hood up nonsense and make good music since music is UNIVERSAL.
Back to Joe. He's a commercially promoted rapper who does underground numbers. That's not hate that's a fact.
In my OPINION and everyone is entitled to one; he's old, lacks talent and serves no purpose other than clogging the lane. The sooner guys like him who bamboozled their way in the game get pushed to the side the better.
FUCK JOE
LONG LIVE CUBAN LINKS
Congrats to boy wonder banks
Banks 250.000 the first week
Banks sold more than ludacris first week
And banks sold more than lupe method man outkast young dro his week then dem combined
Ya forgettin the fact that when PUN was alive, he was writing everything for JOE. Go back to DON CARTEGENA, tell me you dont hear PUN in JOES lyrics! Past that fact, JOE messed up once PUN passed cuz PUN kept Terror Squad together. Everyone knows CUBAN REMY, ARMEGGEDON, TONY, PROSPECT, TRIPLE SEIS...Would All Be On. JOE is just going along wit the music trend.
Listen to CUBAN's LETTER TO PUN in his album. You know for sure, thats true story!
R.I.P BIG PUNISHER! We Miss You!
and fuck joe for never giving Big L props for anything except "Bringin em Back". that and "who got gunz" are the only 2 tracks i really feel
What happen to the first week flop gane stans?? 250,000 lloyd banks is doing his numbers that's the biggest first week for a new york artist this year
Damn...
I wonder how it must feel for Fat Joe's ego to bring up an artist (Big Pun), and have his understudy be considered lyrically better than himself.
Fat Joe has definitely improved with his pen game, but will forever be overshadowed by Pun. Maybe that's why he doesn't promote his artist that well.
Who knows? Maybe he sees Remy Ma as a second blow to his own career, and is trying to prevent that from happening.
Theres only 2 types of black people?
SOHH Reckless is a hating ass nigga allwayz, but i do agree about him not looking out for his crew. I been lookin for Tony Sunshine to drop his own album.
But that "No Drama" had me requesting that shit on the radio the first time i heard it. So what if it sounds "southern" and not NY'ish. That's what's hot right now.
Damn Reckless, do you like ANY NY emcees?
Way to rep.

He sold 250,000 out the gate on this album but his last album pushed 450K the first week out so what does that say about his "progression" ??
Fat Joe is gonna go 3 x plastic. He gonna do benzino numbers!!!
damn!!!!!!!! u are hatin on joe real hard lil homie...its a business man...i dont see you cracking on Jay for his role in roc a fella ending...or what he did to dame...or on diddy and what he did to everybody ever on badboy....i aint a big fat joe fan but you trippin' with that one...sound like tony sunshines cousin or something....look man, them dudes got crazy talent, sunshine, prospect..ill even say bring cuban into it, but all of them say so themselves that they havent had the drive...remy said they act like they want shit to be given to them....they all men just like joe, if they aint tryna get it that aint on him.....now on that big pun(top 5 dead or alive) i feel you, but joe been around a minute fam....DITC...BIG L COSIGNED HIM....he'sa business man...just like Baby, Jay, Diddy....
Funny how this 'Sohh Reckless' makes a blogg dissing Mexican rappers and Chicano Hip Hop ... then goes afer YET AGAIN ANOTHER LATINO ...
What THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU FUCKING RACIST ASS HATER ...
@ youngme226
There are more than 2 types of black people, disregard what other dude said.
I'm busy at work, but i'll check in occasionally. Can somebody please break down the types of black people??
I agree that Fat Joe is a legend in this shit. He's been around since the early 90's and has had hits from left to right but he is just an artist. Terror Squad could have easily been the hispanic version of G-Unit before G-unit was even a thopugh but his selfish ass wouldn't let it happen. Armegeddon,Cuban Linx,Remy Ma and Toney Sunshine are strait animals on the mic but he has no business sense whatso ever. He could be sitting back ,a la 50 cent, and let his crew make the money but he wants to be the nigga in the lime light. Its gotten to the point where the dude raps like whoever is hot at the moment. I throw the fuck up everytime I hear Clap and Revolve. What tyhe fuck is that about ? How you gonna be in the game this long and dickride a nigga thats been out for 6 months (Ross)?

Yeah...
There's:
1)Hard-working Afro-Americans

3)Hard-working Afro-Americans, that have Nigger tendencies... which only appear when they get angry (or get called a nigger)
I, of course, am #3!... lol.
Banks is half way to gold first week dammmnnn gggggggggggggg unit
Congratulations to Lloyd Banks...Those are great numbers kid...
What up Dig?????
We're not "Friends" anymore?
Fat Joe has done what a lot of cats were unable to do with this hip hop shit. which is stay relavent. This dude been in the game at least 15 years. Over the last few years he's developed a nice flow and a solid delivery. But his content can sometimes be too bony(no substance).
We need another D.I.T.C. album for him to realize what he should be doin.
In the meantime FREE Download of
"Touch Da Ceiling"
New ish from I.W.
Click on the link below.
You know, Im a big fan of Joe but when someone is right , they right. Terror Sqad is the sqad and they should man up and do it themselves. F Joe, they got mad talent and they can make it, Sunshine gets on a couple of hook smakes new friends and boom. Remy gets another street banga out there and thats it...and the rest of the guys can do the same, Prospect, Armagedon...Mad skills, start from scracth and thats it. These guys must be in they 30's already, stop leaning on this dude and go for self, you gonna have listeners, we wating. Remy, I love you....
Black Friday:
Seems to me you have enough "friends" Slim Shady, LOL.
I'm Not really sure what's going on with the artist on TS. But i can tell you that Tony Sunshine album is coming out round valetines day and the shit is fire. I've heard a few of the trax personally and they are crazy. He already got a joint out there with Lumidee (Like the Wind) thats is crack.

You really think those are good numbers Black ?
He sold 450K out the gate on his first album. Thats an 80% slide !!!
I know that G-Unit isn't happy about the sales because They were clowning Nas' last joint when it came out the gate at 235K so 250K is that much better. Sales ain't everything but when you start clowing a nigga because of his sales you better back it up.
Yall can front if yall want but this G-Unit shit is dying down. All I want is good music and I can't say that G-Unit has done that for me lately. If it ain't 50 or Buck... I can't ride .
JOE CRACK is dat deal
what da fuck you talkin bout
quit hating damn!
MAKE IT RAIN is hot
anyone say otherwise is just hating
Sorry Fat joe is not legend in the game. Who ever said that should leave this website and never come back. Truly a WTF moment. Terror Squad is dead and Fat joe killed it, Remy Ma (the transexual looking thing) jumped ship and everyone else is irrelevant.
I wish Pun was here to slap some sense into Joe, this motherfucker needs it.
Fat Joe got hustle, i respect him for that and only that. I never really dug his style. I don't believe he intentionally hates on his crew, i just think he's power hungry and is the type that always gotta be up fron ya da dig?
--- @ Reckless
you know i've never really addressed you cause i'm an Htown cat on a new york blog, but you are a damn hater. I ain't even from new york and you got me wantin' to defend some of these artists simply for the way you hate on all of em' I think the most love you show is limited to maybe one off the cuff comment from time to time. You never do any positive blogs on any current artists. Only old ones who aint rappin' do u got anything positive to say. Its kinda fraud of you from an outsiders standpoint. I'm beggining to think you ain't a native of new york, and if you are you need to stop hating on your own city like that, us texans got mad pride. Texans will fist fight (and i mean even easygoing executive adult types) if someone talks down about our STATE that's just our culture... we're raised/bred to do it... you need to get on a positive vibe, at the very least from time to time. From Htownmikes outsider view you are losing the respect of your peers son for real...
