In a recent interview with Chazz Palminteri, Fat Joe delved into the age-old debate: Does one need a hood background to be a bona fide rapper? Glasses Malone’s recent claim that Drake, a Canadian Jew from the suburbs, is “colonizing” rap reignited the discussion.

Fat Joe Explores the Link Between Street Cred and Rap Legitimacy

“I wouldn’t say that 2023,” Joe answered when Chazz Palminteri poised the question. “Because there is so many different forms of Hip Hop.  But when we first came out, yes.  And it’s unfair to rappers that are successful’s kids.  Because rappers that are successful have a following.  So now you get  kid of a celebrity or a Hip Hop star and they grew up Little House on the Prairie.  So the hood is like, ‘Nah, you grew up rich. We don’t want to hear your story.  You grow up rich.  So it’s very unfortunate for artists who have talented kids.

The emergence of rap royalty with affluent upbringings has sparked controversy, with some arguing that their stories aren’t authentic. As Joe pointed out, “The hood is like, ‘Nah, you grew up rich. We don’t want to hear your story.'”

In today’s multifaceted Hip Hop scene, the necessity of a hood upbringing remains a contested topic. Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts below.

Fat Joe’s Plea: Seeking Drake’s Forgiveness for ‘All The Way Up’ Remix Rejection.

Fat Joe finds himself yearning for Drake’s forgiveness, regretting the day he declined to have the 6 God featured on the remix of “All The Way Up.” Their musical connection hit an unexpected impasse, and now, Fat Joe is left craving reconciliation.

During a captivating conversation on the Rap Radar podcast, which premiered on Thursday (August 24), the prominent figure at the helm of Terror Squad shared insights into the intricate dynamics that played out behind the scenes. As it turns out, Drake was resolute in his desire to join the ranks of the song’s collaborators, going to extraordinary lengths to secure a spot.

“Drake FaceTimed me three times to try to get on ‘All The Way Up’” Fat Joe told Elliott Wilson. “Three times. In the middle of the night. ‘Send me the instrumental. Send me the instrumental.’ I wish I would have gotten Drake on it. But the history of it…I said, yeah, it has to be just me and JAY-Z.”

In his own words, Fat Joe expressed, “Anybody who truly understands, this is the moment. It ain’t just gon’ be a posse cut.”

Sadly, it appears that Drake didn’t fully grasp the gravity of this sentiment. Since that juncture, the rapport between Fat Joe and Drake seemingly faded into obscurity, leaving a void that Fat Joe deeply regrets. Yearning for closure and reconciliation.

After a brief social media argument regarding the beginnings of the careers of Miami rapper Pitbull and Trick Daddy, Fat Joe and Uncle Luke have made amendments.

On Friday, December 8, Luke welcomed Fat Joe during an Instagram Live session in which the Terror Squad leader explained a statement he had made on the role he played in signing both musicians to their respective record deals.

Luke shared the original remarks he made on My Expert Opinion Podcast on Instagram along with a statement disputing what Fat Joe claimed.

“I love Joe but I find this very interesting because I discovered @trickdaddydollars he did his first song with me as soon as got of the lock up and he stayed with me, l also discovered signed @pitbull to the platinum selling Luke records label he did his first song’s with me.”

“Maybe I’m missing something here I do have the receipts,” the Miami legend added. “By the way because you don’t see all the videos at the birthday partys. @DjKhaled I found him on underground radio mix 96 brought him to main stream. radio @99jamzmiami The Luke show.”

Before expounding on the interview comments. Fat Joe kicked off the Live conversation by giving Uncle Luke some flowers. “Like I told you luke is an icon, living legend,” Joe said. “He created the sound of Miami. He put everybody on.”

He recounted how he first came to know of Trick Daddy during a trip to Miami for Super Bowl thirty three in 1999.

“Trick Daddy shit was playing all over the Carol Mart, all over the parties,” Fat Joe explained. “I went back to New York, I sat in the office with Craig Kallman, who’s still the boss of Atlantic. I don’t fuck with him no more, but I took the demo of Trick Daddy, I put it on his desk and said, “You need to sign this girl guy, he’s the next guy.”

He continued, “I know you discovered Trick Daddy, you discovered Pitbull. I never said I discovered them, Luke. I took his demo, out of love for HipHop. And Craig Kallman called me two days later and said, ‘I signed the guy Trick from Miami.’

Similarly, Fat Joe stated that he introduced Pitbull’s music to TVT records founder Steve Gottlieb and the label’s VP of A&R, Brian Leach, after his own success had the label searching for a Hispanic artist.

“I wanted a Cuban artist because I was from Miami,” Luke told his followers after Fat Joe left the live, “I told Jullian Boothe, he was my A&R guy, Big Teach, Jeff Sanchez, ‘We need to find a Cuban artist. I don’t give a fuck what y’all do. Go find me a God Damn Cuban artist because I will not be complete in Miami unless I have a Cuban artist. Them dudes got Big Pun and Fat Joe ouuta New York, we gotta compete.”

Fat Joe Admits Lil Wayne Is The Best Artist He’s Seen In The Studio

When asked who they think is the best at anything, artists never want to appear as if they’re picking one of their colleagues above the other. However, Fat Joe took a chance during his recent appearance on The Shop: Uninterrupted. Along with guests Don Lemon and Amy Schumer, as well as the show’s writers, the rapper paid a visit to the HBO series. Joe isn’t afraid to express himself, so he was asked who he believed were the greatest of the artists he’s seen in the studio.

“I don’t want nobody to kill me, but the best…Lil Wayne,” he stated without hesitation. “Wayne taught me so, what happens is, Lil Wayne took up from where Tupac was, he was putting out two albums a year. This guy was never in the club, he was the No. 1 artist in the world.”

“He was just in that studio, in that hit factory, in that studio,” Joe added. “So, I was privy to being there with Wayne ’cause I live in Miami and this guy, he would just get a beat, and the guy starts sparing with the speaker.” It was something the Bronx rapper had never seen before. Someone asked him to explain what that meant.

“He’s in a little room and there’s big, giant speakers, and he’s just there like, staring at the speaker,” Joe stated. “He goes in the booth, ‘I am a beast, feed me Hip Hop, feed me…’ I was like holy f*ck. This guy took the record. He’s a beast!”

Fat Joe is bringing his talk show to Starz, where he says it will air every Sunday after BMF and Power in a primetime slot. Joe joins 50 Cent as the only rappers who have partnered with the network to produce shows.

During an appearance on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion, Joe revealed the future of his talk program.

“Eventually, after every Sunday after you watch BMF and Power, you’re going to see his show on STARZ network,” Joe said.

He added: “It was a lot of channels trying to get this shit. Puff is my partner, and we chose there because it’s primetime every Sunday, and I can’t tell you no more. I already broke the news. Nobody ever heard that.”

The Show’s original run is accessible on Revolt, and it showcases the legendary New York rapper talking pop culture, sports, politics, and more with a diverse group of guests. Dwyane Wade, Nick Cannon, Big Sean, and Shaq were among those that participated on the show during its inaugural season.

Fat Joe called Tekashi 6ix9ine “a pussy, a sucka, a bitch” later in his interview with Hoffa. When a video of the conversation went viral, the contentious rapper retaliated by labeling Joe “jealous” and “unhappy.”

6ix9ine Hits Back At Fat Joe: 'He's Jealous'

6ix9ine Hits Back At Fat Joe: ‘He’s Jealous’

6ix9ine Hits Back At Fat Joe: ‘He’s Jealous’

6ix9ine and Fat Joes sat down to have a discussion, four ago. Tekashi paid a visit to Joe on his podcast, and the rap veteran tried to impart some street wisdom to the viral rapper. At the time, 6ix9ine was in the middle of one of his many ongoing feuds with his peers and was hanging out with the Nine Trey crew. However, Fat Joe warned him to keep his nose clean or he’d end up in major legal problems since the police are always on the lookout.

Joe continued to criticize 6ix9ine since then, not just because of Tekashi’s legal difficulties and snitching incident, but also because he insulted deceased musicians. During Fat Joe’s appearance with Math Hoffa, the matter was brought up, and the New York hitmaker stated why he doesn’t want to work with 6ix9ine.

“I’mma just be honest with you… This n*gga’s a sucka,” said Joe. “He’s a p*ssy, he’s a sucka, a b*tch. [And] I ain’t drink. I’m dead serious.”

“This type of sh*t this n*gga doin’, I’m convinced he wanna die,” Joe continued. “I don’t wish it on him or nothin’ like that, but I’m convinced he’s miserable in his body. He can’t look in the mirror.” Someone chimed in with the observation that 6ix9ine “gotta be” living in despair. Fat Joe said he doesn’t know for sure because some people “snitch for a living” and are just fine. “Some n*ggas snitch on they mother!”

TMZ Reports That 6ix9ine Responded To Joe’s Recent Remarks

“Fat Joe is jealous of 69. 69 has done more in his young career than Fat Joe has ever done in his long career… Fat Joe said I was miserable and want to die? Fat Joe is miserable and wants to die because Fat Joe doesn’t have half of what 69 has in money and cars. Fat Joe said I’m not a gangster, it was all for promotion? That’s fake news. What’s his proof that I ever said that? There is no proof. He’s lying.”

Fat Joe Referred To Tekashi 6ix9ine As “A P*ssy And A B*tch 

Fat Joe had some harsh words for Tekashi 6ix9ine while chatting with Math Hoffa during a recent interview. Joe stated that he believes the “GINÉ” rapper has a death wish after acknowledging that he will most certainly get “in trouble” for his remarks.

“This show gonna get me in trouble,” Joe confessed. “I’m gonna just be honest with you  this n***a’s a sucka. He’s a pussy, a sucka, a bitch. I’m dead sober. This dude here. This type of shit this n***a doing, I’m convinced he wants to die and I don’t wish it on him or nothing like that  but I’m convinced he’s miserable in his body. He can’t look in the mirror.”

Joe brought up 6ix9ine’s famed snitching in connection with facing prison time for his alleged affiliation with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. After cooperating with police, the rapper received a sentence of less than two years in prison.

Joe added: “Now the man snitched. Cool. Do you, whatever. I don’t like the taunting. I don’t know if he really did it. I didn’t know what was going on. The crazy shit is when I talked to him in that interview, I talked to him off the air and he lied to me and told me, ‘Yo this is just an image. I’m frontin.’ He told me that in front of [former manager and Nine Trey Gangsta Blood] Shotti and them n****s. They was standing right there with him. ‘Yo Joe, I’m not really doing this. I’m not a gangster. This is all for promotion.’”
