- From the 1993 album: "Represent"
Joseph Antonio Cartagena (born August 19, 1970), better known by his stage name Fat Joe, is an American rapper and actor from the Bronx, New York. He began his music career as a member of hip hop group Diggin' in the Crates Crew (D.I.T.C.), then forged a solo career and set up his own label, Terror Squad, to which he signed Big Pun, Remy Ma, Tony Sunshine, Cuban Link, Armageddon, Prospect, Triple Seis and DJ Khaled as well as discover producers Cool & Dre.
Fat Joe's debut solo album, Represent, was released in 1993 and spawned the single "Flow Joe", which reached number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs. His most commercially successful album to date was Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.) (2001); it was certified platinum by the RIAA and internationally certified silver by the BPI, as well as reaching the top 100 on multiple music charts.
He is best known for the songs "Lean Back" with Terror Squad, "What's Luv?" featuring Ashanti & Ja Rule, "Make It Rain" featuring Lil Wayne and "All the Way Up" with Remy Ma featuring French Montana and Dre.
Fat Joe has appeared in several films, including Scary Movie 3 and Happy Feet, as well as Spike Lee's Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It.
In 2018 he began hosting a podcast on Tidal, Coca Vision, where he discusses music, friendships, and pop culture with some of the industry's most entertaining voices.
Fat Joe was born on August 19, 1970, in the South Bronx area of New York City, where he was raised by parents of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent. He lived in public housing and began stealing at a young age to support his family. He also admits that he was a bully in his childhood. His brother introduced him to hip hop music.
Under stage name Fat Joe da Gangsta and part of the rap group D.I.T.C., Cartagena was signed to Relativity Records in the early 1990s, recording material and working with many artists who he would later sign to his own label. In 1993, his debut album, Represent, was released, featuring production from The Beatnuts, Diamond D, Lord Finesse, and others. Its lead single, "Flow Joe" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart; other minor singles from the album included "Watch the Sound" and "This Shit is Real".
In 1995, Fat Joe released his second studio album, Jealous One's Envy, which peaked at #71 on The Billboard 200 and at #7 on Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums. The album featured a guest appearance from KRS-One and production from Diamond D. The lead single was Success, which did not chart, but his second single, "Envy" peaked at #8 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The success of this album led Joe to be featured on the remix of LL Cool J's single "I Shot Ya" along with Foxy Brown, Keith Murray, and Prodigy of Mobb Deep. During the recording of Jealous One's Envy, Joe discovered fellow Latino rapper Big Pun, who was featured on the song "Watch Out". Joe later explained the rapper's influence on him: "Latinos before us who had the opportunity to do it just didn't know how to do it. They came in trying to do this black music, waving flags. But, we're trying to kick in the doors for other Latinos and represent our people, and it shows."
Fat Joe has been back to his old school in the Bronx, New York to donate computers for the students.
In 2008, he attended the grand opening of the Hip Hop Soda Shop in Miami which was community outreach project set up by Ben Chavis for the youth to hang out and do things such as record music, use the computers and play on Xbox 360s.
At a "School is Cool" assembly in Public School 5 in Jersey City, New Jersey on June 11, 2009, Fat Joe was a speaker.
On January 23, 2011, Fat Joe appeared with Newark mayor Cory Booker and fitness expert Jeff Halevy at an event to promote the Newark branch of Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative against childhood obesity.
Released in 1998, Don Cartagena was Joe's third album and his first for Atlantic Records. It peaked on The Billboard 200 at #7 and #2 on Top R&B/Hip Hop albums, eventually being certified gold by the RIAA. - Hudba

Joe was a G.. now he soft
Puba, one of the most underrated lyricists ever.
im so glad i was born in 1971 . It allowed me to be a Teenager in the 1980s HIPHOP decade, and it allowed me to be young in my 20s in the 1990s HIPHOP decade . I was around the same age as all the RAPPERS of the 90s, so i consider them my Peers , and i related to them and their Music 100%. And i was also old enough to go to the NYC CLUBS to Party and see most of those RAPPERS in Person in the Clubs chillen and some even performed as well :)
Amazing story Fam! 💯 💯 💯
I was born in 1991 - grew up listening to this all my life and all I can say is that you are a lucky man. I would give my right arm to go back to this era.
@@SUdatsthecalloftheWU same here bro, '91 born, been there listening since 12 yo
@@soreonEbb Y habla español? Tantos MCs latinos de esta época también. Mad love bro 90's hip hop para siempre.
@@SUdatsthecalloftheWU si señor, soy Español.
Aunque la golden era hispana ya pasó, pero ha habido grandes...ahora a vivir de recuerdos...conoces Violadores del Verso? Un día estuve hablando con Jeru the Damaja en un concierto sobre el tema que hizo con ellos...dicen que cuando VdV grababa en un estudio en NY se acercó porque le gustó lo que sonaba y hablaron para colaborar
Best era ever you had to be there
Great comment
I was born 1980 so I was there!
Absolutely!
Definately
Big facts fam
Yo Fat Joe transcended every decade
Yup
Grand Puba is EXTREMELY underrated & DITC are gods in the rap game. Born in 95, but I won’t let people forget what’s up!
You missed damn near the whole lick.. heartbeats of hip hop
Born 77 Jamaica Queens I think us Queens cats had a bigger impact then the BX did even though the BX created it we had so many great from Run to LL to Nas, The whole Queens Bridge, mobb Deep, Bronson, G Rap and so on.
@Drew Clawson That’s good shit young✨
Born 91, me too.
@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 word i was born in Richmond VA and raised in Charlotte NC. If I didn’t love rap so much and dig all day myself, I wouldn’t have known about any of this 💯
Fat Joe debut album is a hip hop classic.
The 1990's decade was the best times for people over the age of 21 .
Simply because the 1990's HIPHOP, RnB, REGGAE and HOUSE MUSIC CLUBS were straight POPPIN throughout the whole 1990's DECADE !!!!!
And the average NYC Club to get in in the 1990's Decade was 21 and OLDER, no exceptions.
Fat joe a whole legend out here lasting 3 decades
Yes fuckin rite he wack as shit
*Only 18* 👇👇👇

@@MyDbzfan9000 This shit was booming in 92-93 lowkey.
Fat joe don’t get enough recognition. Got them classics 👌🏾
I literally just told my boy how joe is 1 of the last real ogs left
Marvin Bennett yeah big back in the day 💯
Marvin Bennett nope
For real! Joe stayed coming out with hits and been on mad features that were hits and was just a face you saw in hardcore hip hop throughout the 90’s
@Marvin Bennett maybe not classic but definitely a banger.it was so much dope shit out back then
DIAMOND HAS SUCH A COOL VOICE
Shout out to D.I.T.C. R.I.P Big L

I wish I was a part of the generation where gangsta rap was GANGSTA rap which is very much visible in this video ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Fat Joe's hypest track I MISS DIS JOE!!!!!!!
I wish they still made music like this
Joe always had Caribbean sound in all his albums
This is Hip Hop . Puba is in a class of his own for real.
Grand puba is smooth and got a great delivery.
This is my only Fat Joe album and it still goes HARD almost 30 years later
You didn’t get Jealous One’s Envy?
@@madunwagbo4769 thats what i'm saying.. I didnt realy fw Joe bc I like Pun more but J.O.E. and J.O.S.E. was fire
@@bennyhundo9131 Don cartagena is heat too 100%
@@AF...41oh, fa sho.. I used to steal my cousin's cds whenever I went to the Bronx. He was one of those dudes that just had a bootleg copy of almost EVERY album that came out.. i miss those days tbh, even with the tech we have today
@bennyhundo9131 in general you had to dig for music. It's all in a kid's pocket now and the algorithm would show you new music aka do the diggin for you... )
Definitely the vibes of Uptown... the Dancehall sample is iconic! We need this vibe back in the town and in hip hop
This is Hip Hop
pure
@EndOfTheNight You crazy bro this is pure hip hop. Rap is what you hear on the radio today
Miss this era so much!!!
My man Puba had the fly Tommy Hilfiger rugby🔥
And probaby Girbraud Jeans💯
Winston Wolf 🔥🔥 ksksks
Thanks
Always fresh...even thou he always talked about those devils he loved their clothes
He single handedly made Hilfiger blow up! Nobody fucked with Tommy until Grand Puba made it cool
Damn Puba never failed on any song. We need Puba In 2020
Yup!
I love the early 90's hip hop sound and flow.
I love the early 90s hip hop too because I was born in this era. It doesn't matter if you're too young to remember but this is classic though.
@@neshamojanay9423
You're not lying, it's so soothing to my ears.
Early 90s was best 100% i always said best era was 84-97 in general
Generation X Emceez = Forever the best in the History of Hip Hop/Rap Music.
Puba Was Always One The Stylish Emcees In The Game.
Grand Puba was all over everything in the early 90s. I think Biggie came around and started getting the features he was getting.
Yeah biggie came behind puba on that mary j Blige tip
To the people born in the 60’s and 70’s who got to experience and listen to this music when it was brand new, I am so jealous of you
Grand Puba was the dopest rapper around circa 89-93
MrLanzie he was the flyest dopest rapper before Nas
No Doubt!
I freestyled with Puba all night in the Bronx , yo that kid flow on point 4ever ! Respect !
Grand puba killed it
Boom Bap forever
Fat Joe is one of the greats on his longevity and the facts hes still relevant
30 years later and this shit still SLAP!!!. Puba had the lyrics of the year
Diamond just spits 🔥
When rap was a culture
Golden era 🙌
And we were part of IT!😊 Jay Cole is who we have left i guess, to bring back HIP HOP!?
Now this was one of my favorite collaborations and remixes in hip-hop. This was classic.
When rap was done the right way!!
Never notice Kurious in this video until now! Classic banger!
Damn fat Joe's verse is straight heat
Love this 93 shit
This is when New York 🗽use to be fun
That BEAT though!!! 2019!!!
So 1994...Best of times..
Man, Its was all about the hood, flow, the streets and gangs today the Shit is about who has the most followers on Instagram. Damn how low has hip hop fallen
Yep, that’s true. Social Media and modern Education basically changed the mentality of people now. I mean back in those days it was acceptable to drink in the street, smoke anywhere, acting gangsta and thuggish or just chilling with friends having a couple of drinks while pumping on the boom box and just having fun and being wild. These days anything u do, you get harassed for it, someone reports you, someone records u on fb and makes u look like a dickhead and you got too many trolls now and everything is ILLEGAL these days. Just using the wrong pronoun will get you in big trouble lol. But at the same time it’s better in a way because at least crime is not as high as it once was.
First time hearing this...still discovering that gold boom bap 💯
I miss these days so much. Thanks for the upload. Mad respect👊👊👊
Im come from the bronx,the boogie down, punks dont ever come in my part of town
This was one of my FAVORITE eras of hip hop!! Dope beats and lyrics! If DAS EFX rocked this beat it would’ve been EPIC!!
It also would have been edited, like their first 2 albums
Grand Puba was the best dressed rapper of the 90s, always an innovator!
I still have this original cassette!!
Diamond D always been underrated.

I still have the album on cassette tape since 93 😎👍🏾
Finding a #oldskool joint like these is liking finding diamonds 💎💎💎 as we can add this to our channel for other #newskool #OGs. So glad lyrics have not #bleeped or #censorsed so you can feel the flow. #respect to the real heads!
Diamond D is the best producer on the mic
This is some extra crispy hip hop music!!
Wow

Yo the beat is Really Dope i like that 1990s styles of old school hip hop.

Yes Sir" Keeping the real Hip Hop alive...This is the Joint! Slam Dunk! Thanks for this one...Fire it up 🔥
I used to watch this on video music box.
Damn this song is dope!👊🏼
Man this Era was really the best. I wish Fat Joe would return to more of an updated boom bap sound rather than the pop stuff he does now. Fat Joe on an alchemist produced album would be ridiculous.
He has a few tracks with Al at least
@John Cooney please tell me that you meant A.G.
Summer of 1994
one of the best posse rhymes of all time
We used to love when Puba jumped on a verse,he always had quotables
