Already in 1993 Joseph Antonio Cartagena sweat-dropped aka Fat Joe made his debut "Represent", which it then nicknamed "Flow Joe," which is also the name of his first single brought. This album was in 1995 "Jealous Ones Envy" which grossed him another loan, so he got a well-paid major label contract with Atlantic Records offered. Together with his new homie Big Punisher rocked Joey Crack 1998 to their plates "Don Cartagena" and "Capital Punishment". Unfortunately Pun 2000 died of a heart attack, which was due to be massively overweight. The first plate after Pun's death, "Jealous Ones Still Envy (JOSE)" was the international breakthrough for Fat Joe, but now and then you get the feeling that with his friend and his great flow and the feeling for good beats lost something gone are. There top producers like Cool & Dre, Buck Wild, Irv Gotti or Alchemist and stars such as R. Kelly, Noreaga, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes and many more were obliged to have made "JOSE" at a good, albeit somewhat commercial album , The first songs of the album are strangely anything particularly well. Neither the title track "JOSE", nor the narcissistic "King Of NY" (feat. Buju Banton) and the substantive "Opposites Attract" (feat. Remy Ma) can convince properly. This is partly due to the discordant beats, but also on Fat Joe's flow, which acts disastrous things from the '90s really boring. Only with the hard "Definition Of A Don" with Remy Ma's first hit. The instrumental is really great: hard, bleak, yet dynamic. These raps Joey Crack highly motivated and Remy has a great idea. From here, the quality of "JOSE" to increase continuously. Another Banger provides us with Don Cartagena along with MOP and Petey Pablo with the bomb "Fight Club". All rhymen awesome and beautiful aggressive about driving beat, so this is one of by far the best songs on the album. The hit single "What's Luv?" Fat Joe made famous at that time in the world in one fell swoop. For me personally the track is a bit too pop, but he is good and great to chill out because the Bronx Terra very cooperates with guests Ashanti and Ja Rule, why "What's Luv?" very pleasant to listen is. Again something more serious and so much more is to my taste "He's Not Real". The beat is indeed the varietal faster, but has a slight underground character - simply good! The Rhymes of Joe and his Terror Squad colleagues Prospect and Remy Ma are simply top notch. What distinguished Fat Joe and Big Pun in their time together were fast aund casual rape on instrumentals that reflected their Latino origin. A song that is reminiscent of that time something "It's OK", a great party track that makes you feel good. Near the end of "JOSE" gets then again felt Joey Crack's talent as a lyricist of the handset. In "The Wild Life" he rap, Prospect and Xzibit about the hard life on the road, which comes across very well in the background with the ingenious Beat. "Still Real" on the other hand is a little sad. From a violin melody that really gets under your skin, accompanied, Fat Joe runs again at maximum power on and reports from the pains that have left the death of Pun and some family members with him. Big Cinema! In addition to these very successful songs but there are also a few more songs that you can listen to good. Among them are the mid-tempo "My Life Style" Party Smash "We Thuggin '" with R. Kelly and the associated end remix with Busta Rhymes, Noreaga and Remy Ma, the funky "Get The Hell On With That" (feat. Ludacris & Armageddon ) and the hard "Murder Rap" (feat. Armageddon). "Jealous Ones Still Envy" is the last album with me Fat Joe has really convinced with "Loyalty". If you "JOSE" However compared with the predecessors, so it can not keep up. Well, so be it. I can really recommend Fat Joe's fourth album "Jealous Ones Still Envy" to anyone who is looking for a little more current album from the heavy weight of the Bronx.
