Lord Jamar Has Some Choice Words For Fat Joe & Math Hoffa Following Their Contentious Interview

by

Lord Jamar, like Tariq Nasheed, is taking some issue with the recent interview between Math Hoffa and Fat Joe. A few days ago, the latter sat down for interview on the former’s podcast, My Expert Opinion, and a topic came up and it’s divided a lot of folks. The comments mostly stemmed from Joey Crack, who effectively put the Foundational Black Americans on blast. He feels that they have been incredibly divisive to other cultures and how much they have done for hip-hop’s growth. Additionally, Joe says that the FBAs are trying to downplay his identity and creating false narratives. “These rumors were made by radical Black racists. They criticize anyone who ain’t Black American and use social media to attack others.”

He even went on to label them “broke Black racists.” Then, Math Hoffa, also was a bit confused by why this narrative of division between the two groups is being pushed. He feels that Puerto Ricans and FBAs were actually closer than some realize. Nasheed made it a point to address that he had an issue with the former group taking “50/50” responsibility for hip-hop. Lord Jamar also doesn’t like how Joe and Hoffa spoke about this, so he took the time to address the “bulls***.”

Lord Jamar Calls Out Math Hoffa & Fat Joe

Overall, Jamar, who also has grown up in New York, has seen it all. In reality, he thinks Hoffa and Joe know the truth. That is that there were some Puerto Ricans and FBAs who liked each other, and some who didn’t. He then brought up Rikers Island and why there are two separate phones to talk to their respective groups.

Lord Jamar recalled how gangs were created within jails to protect themselves from the Puerto Ricans due to their being bad blood. He even went on to say that the Puerto Ricans that did mess with Blacks were “rebels.” Moreover, he explained that he heard firsthand how the families were trying to sway their kids from talking to Blacks. Jamar finished off with revealing that Hoffa would be worried if he came on his show to explain himself that he would get pushback. But Jamar is making it clear that he’s ready for it all.

Fat Joe Rips Foundational Black Americans (FBA), Calls Them “Broke” & “Black Racists,” Backlash Ensues

by

Fat Joe had some choice words about the Foundational Black Americans, which Joe referred to as Foundational Black Authority, as a guest on Math Hoffa’s popular My Expert Opinion podcast. In a clip released on Saturday (Dec. 21), Joe called the organization “broke Black racists” in response to their comments on Blacks and Puerto Ricans creating hip-hop together theories. Addressing rumors, Joe said, “These rumors were made by radical Black racists … It’s a group of these guys that don’t want to hear Jamaican, don’t want to hear Guyanese, don’t want to hear a Black guy not down with them, right? So, their job is to criticize anybody who doesn’t look like them. Who ain’t Black American. The FBA, whoever these broke [explicit] is. I’m just keeping it a buck. And their mission is to attack everyone on Twitter.”

Fat Joe proceeds to describe the organization’s leader. He tells Math Hoffa, “Do you see this [explicit] who runs them? Yo, man, you gotta be f*ckin kidding me. So, they trying to change the narrative because they’re not from New York. So they telling a whole other story.” Naturally, Joey Crack’s comments received backlash on social media. While many agreed with Joe’s longstanding claim on Hip-Hop, others discredited the multiple-platinum entertainer.

Against Joe, an X user tweeted, “He ain’t lying though. Like in as balls as it gets on every level! And I don’t agree and March to the FBA beat they called me a immigrant or a tether and I don’t even know wtf that even means lol…” Another user would co-sign Fat Joe’s broke claim about the FBA. “To be fair most FBA agents are broke,” the user tweeted.

With Joey Crack at the front of the conversation, the question about other ethnicities’ involvement in the origin of Hip-Hop has been a trending topic since the culture turned 50 years old in 2023. Other ethnicities have claimed involvement in creating the culture that history proclaims was created by African Americans in the Bronx.

Fat Joe Declares 2024 “The Worst Year In Hip Hop History”

by

Fat Joe has been extremely active in 2024. The Terror Squad founder has been on countless podcasts and hosted the BET Awards. He met with Vice President Kamala Harris, and performed during the World Series. He also dropped a new album, The World Changed on Me. The title of the album is an excellent indicator of the way Fat Joe feels about the current rap landscape. He may still be relevant, but he feels that the genre has never been worse in terms of cultural impact.

Fat Joe delivered this hot take during a recent appearance on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast. He reflected on the year in hip hop, and felt that the musical output was not up to snuff. “I woke up 2024 feeling like [God dammit!] It’s been a horrible year,” the “Lean Back” rapper asserted. “I was just having a heated discussion with my people [about this].” Fat Joe wasn’t simply let down by the music, though. He also felt that the scrutiny that hip hop legends like Diddy and Jay-Z have come under has also damaged the genre’s reputation.

Fat Joe Claims Rappers Are More “Scrutinized”

“All our legends. All our mentors getting scrutinized,” Fat Joe asserted. “This is the worst time to be a celebrity in history. I’m not sure you guys wanna be celebrities.” Joe came up at the very same time as Diddy and Jay-Z. He even had a multi-year feud with Jay and Roc-A-Fella Records in the late 90s and early 2000s. He’s unhappy with the way their personal lives have impacted the culture, however. It’s the combination of music and scandal that led to Joey Crack’s massive declaration. “This might be the worst year ever in hip hop history type sh*t,” he stated. “This sh*t bad.”

Fat Joe admitted that he’s been forced to acclimate to the current rap landscape during a Breakfast Club interview. He told the hosts that he’s changed. “My circle gets smaller and smaller and smaller,” Fat Joe explained. “You know, unfortunately, sometimes people we love, we catch them doing things they ain’t supposed to do. So we got to get them up out the way. And that’s hard.” Hopefully Fat Joe can be part of the change he wants to see happen.

Fat Joe has declared 2024 as possibly the bleakest year in Hip Hop’s history—not because of the music, but due to the relentless drama surrounding its public figures. During his appearance on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast, released Tuesday (December 17), the Bronx legend didn’t hold back as he expressed his frustration with the state of the culture.

Joey Crack pointed to the ongoing issues between his close friends Remy Ma and her estranged husband, Papoose, as a prime example of the chaos enveloping the industry. Adding their public rift to a laundry list of woes, Joe reflected on how difficult it has become to maintain privacy and integrity as a public figure in Hip Hop.

“I woke up in 2024 like, ‘God damn it!’ It’s been a horrible year,” Joe lamented. “I was just having a heated discussion with my people. This might be the worst year ever in Hip Hop history, type shit. This shit bad. All our legends, all our mentors getting scrutinized. This is the worst time to be a celebrity in the history of mankind. I’m not sure you guys wanna be celebrities.”

He continued with a mix of frustration and disbelief, saying, “I got friends who are filthy rich that wanna be popping, wanna be celebrities. I don’t think they understand what comes with it. This shit crazy out here. It’s nuts. The world done changed on me. You can’t make it up!”

When the conversation turned to Remy Ma and Papoose, Fat Joe spoke candidly about his disappointment over the couple’s public turmoil. As a close collaborator of Remy’s and the godfather to the pair’s six-year-old daughter, the Bronx MC said he feels powerless to mend their relationship.

“It’s a hard situation,” Joe admitted. “I don’t like none of that shit. What I can’t do is stop it. They won’t listen to me.”

He elaborated on the delicate nature of intervening in a marital dispute, stating, “Nobody comes to my house and tells my wife shit. This is your husband. I can’t get in the middle of that, that’s y’all. I wish this didn’t happen.”

Joe also shared a poignant anecdote from the night before the couple’s latest public spat. According to the Lean Back rapper, Remy Ma had treated him and several others to a lavish dinner at a New York City restaurant, seemingly indicating that things were calm within her circle.

“I woke up in the morning, and my phone was going crazy,” Joe recalled. “They were like, ‘Yo! What’s going on?’ And I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’”

The speculation that Papoose was part of the dinner group was quickly debunked by the man himself. Taking to Instagram Stories, Papoose addressed the rumors, clarifying, “Peace to my brother @fatjoe. I think y’all misunderstood his interview. I was not at @brooklynchophouse with them. I do spend thousands of dollars there regularly. I love that place!”

As 2024 continues to unfold, Fat Joe’s reflections paint a sobering picture of Hip Hop’s challenges beyond the music. Whether it’s the scrutiny of its legends or the deeply personal struggles of its stars, this year has proven to be one of the most tumultuous yet.

The last one was Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2) back in 2009. Of course, he’s still been extremely active, dropping some mixtapes and collab efforts with Remy Ma and Dre. But this weekend is a big one for the New York MC, as The World Changed On Me is his first studio album in 15 years.

Fat Joe Still Can’t Get Over Losing A Grammy To Chance The Rapper Back In 2017: ‘That’s The Biggest Disrespect’

At the 59th Grammy Awards in 2017, “All The Way Up” — Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s hit song with French Montana and Infared — was nominated for Best Rap Performance. However, the award ended up going to “No Problem,” by Chance The Rapper featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz.

Fat Joe has not gotten over this.

As Complex notes, at a recent listening session for his upcoming album The World Changed On Me, Joe said (as seen in this video):

“We lost ‘All The Way Up’ to Chance The Rapper. Like, that’s the biggest disrespect. Let me tell you something… Nah, I’ma keep it real with you: You know how Jay-Z used to say, ‘Gotta learn to live with regrets’? I can’t live with that one. Losing to Chance The Rapper? ‘All The Way Up,’ whatever his sh*t was… it was just not that.”

Meanwhile, Joe recently popped up at Yankee Stadium to perform before the Yankees’ World Series game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Joe’s time on the diamond was widely clowned. As for Chance, fans are waiting for him to release Star Line, but by asking him to “drop the album,” they’re actually postponing its release, per a declaration from Chance.

Fat Joe Calls Ozempic “The Greatest Invention Ever”

by

In October, Fat Joe credited his weight loss to using the popular prescription drug Ozempic. In a new interview with Big Boy TV, the Bronx rap legend candidly discussed shedding over 100 pounds and why he views Ozempic as a groundbreaking innovation in the battle against obesity. Joe revealed his weight-loss mission began after the tragic death of a close friend due to health complications tied to obesity. This loss propelled him into what he described as “super lose weight mode,” a regimen marked by intense workouts and extreme dietary restrictions. “I wasn’t even eating a cracker,” Joe admitted, jokingly calling it “crackhead mode” to underscore the intensity of his efforts.

While extolling the benefits of Ozempic, Joe also expressed frustration with people who deny using it, pointing out how quickly some individuals lose weight in notoriously stubborn areas. For him, embracing the medication is a no-brainer. “Ozempic is the greatest invention,” he declared, adding that he hopes its creators develop similar drugs to curb cravings for smoking and drinking.

Fat Joe Cites Ozempic Responsible For Weight Loss

One of New York Hip-Hop’s legendary rap stars, Fat Joe, made his debut in 1993 and kept his name at the top of the genre since with many chart-topping hits such as “Lean Back,” “Make It Rain,” and “What’s Luv.” While he no longer carries a large image, he doesn’t plan on changing his name. He explained the significant financial investment tied to his brand over the years. “We’ve spent millions, millions of dollars building the name Fat Joe,” he said. “When I walk out at the World Series, they announce, ‘Rapper Fat Joe.’ If they just said, ‘Rapper Joe,’ no one would know who that is. Even if I slim down more, I’ll always be Fat Joe because that’s the brand we built.”

Joey Crack is set to release his first solo album in 14 years on December 13. The World Changed Me will include new tracks “Paradise” and “I Got You,” featuring Babyface. The album follows Joe’s 2010 album, The Darkside Vol. 1. In October, Joey Crack launched his interview series on Starz, Fat Joe Talks.

Fat Joe is ready to deliver a new album, announcing The World Changed On Me on Instagram. The cover for the album brings Joe with his late brother Angel. The album will drop on Dec. 13.

In September, Grammy-nominated artist Fat Joe has unveiled his latest single, “Paradise,” featuring DJ Khaled and Anitta, following their electrifying performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. The track samples Stevie B’s freestyle classic “Spring Love” and showcases Anitta’s rare English vocals on the hook, singing, “feels like paradise, ocean water coming down your thighs, can you feel me?!” Meanwhile, Joe delivers a dynamic verse depicting his blissful lifestyle with a female companion.

Alongside the song release, Joe debuted a vibrant music video filmed in uptown Manhattan, featuring scenes on the famous Dyckman Street and a club setting with Joe, Anitta, and Khaled. The video premiered on multiple platforms, including MTV Live, BET Jams, and YouTube, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards.

In addition to his VMAs performance, Joe served as a presenter, introducing host Megan Thee Stallion to the stage. “Paradise” marks the second single from his upcoming solo album, his first in 14 years, following August’s release of “Outta Control” featuring Remy Ma.

Recently honored with the Key to the City by New York Mayor Eric Adams, Joe is also set to launch his new STARZ interview series, Fat Joe Talks, offering exclusive insights into the lives of today’s influential figures.

Fat Joe Links With Babyface For Sensual Single “I Got You”

by

Joey Crack, aka Fat Joe, is back right before Thanksgiving to drop off a little token of his appreciation for his fans. On the eve of the special holiday, the New York native is here with “I Got You,” a brand-new single featuring longtime R&B act, Babyface. Since July, the “What’s Luv?” MC has delivered a couple of solo releases. There’s the rowdy club banger with frequent collaborator Remy Ma which turned heads thanks to her unhinged verse. Then, there’s the homage to the 90s, “Paradise,” featuring DJ Khaled and Anitta. It’s crisp, summery, and a fun vibe. Now, there’s “I Got You,” which sees Joe playing the role of the provider in a relationship.

The production is maybe the best out of this recent bunch. It’s glitzy, slick, dreamy, and catchy thanks to its background vocals. Babyface bolsters that latter quality with his buttery smooth chorus which echoes Joe’s sentiments of making this woman’s biggest dreams come true. Whether it’s being around other celebrities (like Beyonce), spending a bag at the mall, or traveling, Joe and Babyface got you. Given the release pattern, there’s a solid chance that he’s working on an album behind the scenes. He has yet to formally announce anything yet, but we feel it’s imminent. It’s also been quite a while since Joe’s last album. His last solo album is 2013’s Darkside III. Overall, though, his last LP is his collab tape with Dre, Family Ties. That dropped back in 2019. For now, check out “I Got You” with the YouTube audio link below.
