Fat Joe was one of the only NY rappers that didn't back down from the west coast and got into a few confrontations and fights with them out of town while the rest of NY was throwing rocks and hiding their hands. I will always have respect for Joe for that
Wow i remember them days, i used to live around the half time store in 3rd ave in bx, thats was the joint, i recall seeing krs1 & mad lion with graff legend and founder of TATS all hanging in front of store, those were the days back in the early 90's when hip hop was so pure and real & lets not forget very violent! PS Armageddon from TS and BROADWAY from strictly roots freestyle were on point! peace everyone!
Awesome. Good to see Joe on Rap City. Missed this episode back in 1995 because I had a computer class at 3 PM at the time. However, I did catch Joe on Rap City back in 1993 but it was the Represent era. Also, good to see the guy from Strictly Roots. That guy totally ripped on Beg No Friends. Classic years.
NYC in the early 90's. The WORST crime was to be unoriginal. You had to have original style, flow, bars and even the way you moved. It's the opposite nowadays. Everything is the same. I miss growin up when everything was so PURE but RAW.
Pun wrote Joe's shit. Some of those bars and scheme were used on Glamour Life "Let's slice and dice...send em to Christ in the afterlife"...still like these interviews. Can't beat them.
@FeelRapp Whats good Shqipe! I remember this when i was 17, they first did it on FunkMasterFlex Hot 97 Oct 1995, i got it on tape somewhere in my parents house. I see Armageddon sometimes, he remembers it very well and he respects Albanians, so does Joe..
I miss this version of Fat Joe. You can see the NY swagger from a mile away. Now he sellin out tryna sound like lil wayne and all these other soft, candy ass rappers. It's disgusting what hip hop has turned into smh.
radiotvpr Oh yes most definite. Joe was dying to get into the whole east vs west crap. He was good friends with Big and Big was telling him to stay out of it.
@@hennylo68 He did get involved with it. He even got caught slipping and jumped allegedly by some west coast dudes in Miami, but Joe wasn't a punk either
Most people would think you lyin if you recited some old Joe lines or told them he used to be one of the hottest feature artists in NYC. Ever since Pun passed he lost that grimey edge to him and then 50 buried this cat and now he ride in the back with Khaled and Ross in the front and make all these love records
That's a lie, 50 didn't bury him nor did Pun write for him. Joe was probably one of the biggest goons it had In New York at that time & that's a fact. You must not know who Joey crack really is
Pac was in jail most of 95 and wasn't really riding fully for the west coast until he signed with death row(late 95). He was probably throwing a shot at Snoop
I remember watching this LIVE with my brother!!! And remember an immense sense of pride when he said that line "I'ma trouble maker if you wanna bring it, bring it!" There was a point as young ignorant kid I did think that LA was throwing too many shots and tryna play NYC! Joe stood tall on National TV like fuck all that! @fatjoe respect forever for this! He eventually went on to link up with Mack 10 & had mad West Coast love. Water under the bridge. Everyone respect everyone!
Fat Joe was one of the only NY rappers that didn't back down from the west coast and got into a few confrontations and fights with them out of town while the rest of NY was throwing rocks and hiding their hands. I will always have respect for Joe for that
Fat Joe held Pac down when he was locked up to. Fat Joe sent his Puerto Rican homies to protect him & that's a fact. Joe a real one
Do you still respect him for leaving his entire crew in Connecticut during a brawl and pointing @/blaming his own crew?
happy 53th birthday joseph antonio cartagena aka rapper fat joe !!!
SOOOO RAW!!!! I HEAR PUNS INSPIRATION ALL IN JOE'S FLOW!!!

But Fat Joe definitely upped his game in the mid late 90's.
Don Cartagena Always been bout it

Joe stood tall on National TV like fuck all that! @fatjoe respect forever for this!
He eventually went on to link up with Mack 10 & had mad West Coast love. Water under the bridge.
Everyone respect everyone!
Big Lez vibe was amazing!!!
