VIDEO: Fat Joe's Release Party

Fat Joe has his album release party for Elephant in the Room at the Sofa Lounge in the Bronx, NY. Rick Ross chimes in on the n-word controversy. KRS One also in the house.

VIDEO: 50 Cent Disses Fat Joe Pt. 27

I've been avoiding posting all this 50 Cent video stuff where he takes on 50 Cent, but I've got to give credit where credit is due and this is just so surgically precise and funny I have to post it.

LISTEN: Fat Joe - That White (Prod. by DJ Premier)

DOWNLOAD Fat Joe - That White (Prod. by DJ Premier) (MP3)

This is a clean CDQ without tags. Not the webrip that was out there over the weekend. A lot of you youngens might not remember the days when Fat Joe was actually one of the better street rappers out there with excellent beat choices and great street talk and real flows. This was before he went on vacation to Wackalonia with Lil' Wayne and R. Kelly, bought a blue mink coat and returned a changed man. This is a track off of Elephant In The Room and, though it could've been improved topic matter wise, the flow and the beat, courtesy of DJ Premier, are hot.

Joe has also gotten into a scuffle over the weekend with the SRA (skinniest rapper alive), Papoose. Miss Info has more on that. Thought this picture would be appropriate.

UPDATE: Joe comments on the Papoose scuffle here.

Fat Joe performs live at Rasputin in Brooklyn NY and does have that whole Elephant In The Room thing going on there. Produced by Jetty Productions and Paul Jacob Bashour.

LISTEN: Cuban Link - Moment Of Truth ft Remy Ma & Triple Seis (Fat Joe diss)

This track was intended to be a Fat Joe diss, but the amount of piled up mediocrity collected here ends up making it more of a Cuban Link/Remy Ma/Triple Seis diss.

NEWS: DJ Khaled Starts New Label

DJ Khaled has announced a new label deal for We The Best Music (I just e-rolled my eyes) with Def Jam. My guess is we'll see some posse cuts with Young Jeezy, Fat Joe, Akon, Lil' Wayne, T.I., T-Pain, Rick Ross and the other usual suspects. Even his press release reads like a bad SNL skit.


"I'm proud to be a member of the Def Jam family," said DJ Khaled. "Def Jam has been and still is one of the most important institutions in hip hop AND music as a whole. I am extremely honored and excited to be a partner with them in We The Best Music. I look forward to creating great music and continuing the success. LA, Shakir and Lenny S are you ready? I am!!! Let’s go!! Caaaaassssshhhhh Flooooowww!!! And remember....We global....global, we're international.....international! We The Best Music/Def Jam....get ready for history!!!"

LISTEN: Fat Joe Interview

Fat Joe doesn't like you anymore. Listen to DJ Booth's interview, and read an excerpt below.



DJ Booth: That’s good, stay out of trouble. “Elephant in the Room,” as I mentioned off the top, is dropping in March. The title is a reference to the staying power that you’ve had in the industry, and the subsequent lack of respect you feel you’ve been shown. Is that all there is to it?

Fat Joe: Absolutely. It’s like, the room is hip hop, and the elephant is me. Every time I see these countdowns of, who are the top ten rappers, they never want to mention my name. If you look at the longevity of an artist, somebody comes out and is an overnight sensation, and by the next album, its wack, and they’re not even in the game no more. So you got somebody givin’ you eight albums and a whole bunch of other joints – classics, anthems, underground bangers – and still, the elephant’s in the room… “Oh, my favorite MC is Ja Rule!” “My favorite MC is Jay-Z!” And the elephant is standin’ right in front of them, like, “Turn on your radio. Listen. Look at TV, look who’s on the box, all day.” You might wanna mumble my name??

VIDEO: Fat Joe - 300 Brolic

Though I regret Fat Joe transformation into his the Weezy loving, commercial attempting bling rapper, and 'making it rain' is my pick for most asinine phrase of the year, I still like his voice even when he isn't really saying anything anymore. He guests on Birdman/Baby's 'Make Way' off of 5 Star Stunna which also features Lil' Wayne. Back to back Cash Money posts, what is happening to this blog.
