Am I the only one that thinks Fat Joe is a hip-hop historian?
Lol,true. He remind me of my uncle
So true!
He's from the Bronx, part of DITC. A lot of rappers can't say they were there when it started. Fat Joe was there.
Robert Mccoy he has a damn good memory of it thats for damn sure
D The Chemist Fat Joe memory make me regret ever having smoked gas.
Fat joe should produce a movie on hip hop through his eyes. Man saw a lot
@Jarrel Ely It might've been her I think she was attending Fordham University in the Bronx at that time.
You should DM Joe and put this idea to him.
I would take out a Netflix subscription just for that.
others too ... not just Him.
“ we can’t even do this era” FACTS!
To me Fat Joe Being a Hip Hop Historian is the reason why He's one the realest people in Hip Hop He was there from the beginning.
Fat joe is a living hip hop encyclopedia... protect him at all cost
capo75 capo fat joe would be everywhere in NY. If you watch a lot of old videos you’ll see joe in a lot of them. Joe saw a lot in his life
He's been killing it since flow Joe
I could listen to fat Joe talk tell stories allday
Fat Joe is the keeper of the keys, and the recorder of rhyming remembrance. It’s all stored inside him, the history of hip hop. He’s a walking museum of lyrical rap history. Hip hop needs it’s own hall of fame, curated and codirected by Fat Joe. What an incredible place that would be.
It's an honor to hear Fat Joe mention my father, Grandmaster Caz!
I love when Fat Joe shares hip hop stories.
Nijee Vaughn it’s the BEST
He has so many he just doesn't get asked the right questions
u gotta be a certain age to even watch this interview!!!
U dont gotta be a certain age if you know music
40^
or a very true HipHop head acquainted with history
Very true statement. We upperclassmen really enjoyed this. Sparked a lot of nostalgia.
Facts!! If you choose to be a part of this culture you it the respect it deserves by knowing where it came from. You don't have to like it but you gotta respect it
Can't believe DMX wasn't in that late 90s early 00s era. DMX was bigger than anyone at that time including Jay Z
He still top 10 idgaf RUFF RYDAZ
DMX was big but he wasn't a lyrical dude. Also around that time u had West Coast artists like Xzibit and Mack 10 who were gigantic at the time too. Jay-Z didn't really start blowing up until later.
David Duarte just from this comment shows you have no idea what you're talking about. And you should hop on someone else's comment with that bs
+loyal D how old are you?
Eminem ?
Joe needs to write a book already.
fat joe solo debut is 25 years old. Salute to a fucking legend
Tru
Flow Joe is one of my favorite Hip Hop songs of all time!!!
I'm that old it's mad
Don cartagena
Rakim raps =timeless excellence.
Prodigy Raps - GLOBAL ICONIC ICE PICK MURDA MUZIK RIP THUN
1/2 Rakim + 1/2 Kool G Rap = 1 Nas. Basic math
Joe just made me take a break from this interview and go on a Rakim binge. Lol
Honestly Big L should be on that list, the flow was crazy
This is a fact he was the nicest in that era
No question, my most favorite rapper, and it aint even that im bias.. .L was the best punch line rapper, and if he lived longer then he did.. best to do it.. even nas said he would never want to freestyle against L.. L would body him, and Jay z got on with his career because L had died, because L was on his label, and the freestyle jay and L had.. L killed him
Turner9090 facts
@Jarrel Ely Lauren but she wasn't a rapper she was the definition of a true artist
Facts, he just wasn’t around long enough unfortunately he’d be top 5 100% with Em biggie pac nas
Being 19, Because of this imma go back and check out Rakim..
C.D. Jegbadai good
C.D. Jegbadai good shyt bro check it out. Check KRS One criminal minded. LL COOL J IM BAD ALBUM.
You won't be diappointed bruh
Rakim is a beast make sure you listen to him on Jay-Z’s song The Watcher too
Great call bro!
Check out the God Rakim! I promise you, that you will not be disappointed.
Unbelievable that scarface isn't mentioned...outright disgrace tbh. Scarface is so underrated....
T Groenhuis niggas sleep on Face Mob, yo 🤦🏾♂️
Honestly you could have a strong top 30 from 1980-2005. There's many they missed but certainly not out of lack of respect.
hip-hop started in NY
When be people mak hip hop lists its not just skills its influence on ones life. These are 2 ny cats. If you hear fat joe memories are attached to the music. Its hard to add people that dont have the influence factor
The Third this is very true
17:56 - Joe gives the best summary of Rakim, EVER!!! Rakim is, was and always will be the greatest MC of all time. The MJ of MCing, not rapping, MCing. The G.O.D. ♥️💯!!!
Rakim has to be the best to ever do it...no doubt.
I loved everything about this interview. Smiled thru the whole thing. Hip hop is the greatest! 4 Ever!!
Joe is hip hop. Final answer. If you dont believe that Rakim is the truest version of an MC go listen to Lyrics of Fury.
Gee Money 💯 💯 💯
Go check out K RINO. He is dopest MC period
Nuff Respect. K RINO is super super dope. I truly wish more rappers would use hip hop as a tool to teach the youth and the masses of lost and uncivilized minds in the world. We used to always have a few emcees in the mix to give you a message. Shout out to you for knowing true musicianship and recognizing talent. Shout out K RINO
Gee Money I've been telling people about his music since I discovered him. It's mind boggling at times
I just check him out..
listened to one of his song with 1.5M views and he sounds like a bootleg version of Immortal technique. the message is there but the rhyming scheme is weak.
That Big Pun Story Is Funny LMAO!!!😂😂😂😂
16:33
the rakim section. unreal, the way people from that era talk about the god.
Fat Joe Is The Ultimate Definition Of A Hip-Hop Don
Joe boss of Bronx, Nas- Queens,Jay- Brooklyn, Diddy-Harlem, Rza-Staten.

Tell em....ppl just dont know.Anybody who knows rap or have been around since DAY ONE like me know....
pause the interview and play all the songs they talk about .... incredible.
This the type of dialogue i like to see when regarding hip hop. ✊🏾 Thank you flex
nobody did what LL DID....style/bars/longevity/creativity....didn't glorify the drug game....brought "love" in hip hop...….crazy how this cat is "underrated"
He said he would be worshipped like a old battleship when he retires!!!!
Guess what-- Grammy, source award, star on the sidewalk, goat- defined in dictionary by LL COOL J. His time is now
Jarrel Ely Hell no
Fat Joe livin legend
Tru
Mauga biongo FACTS
RustyMetalFingerz garbage?
RustyMetalFingerz he was in ditc he could never be garbage
You must be from the east coast or smoking crack! I wouldn't say legend. Not even top ten of all time. All these New York rappers bias as fukk never giving West Coast rappers there props. Always been that way that's why us West Coast peeps don't have love for them like that either. I'm so proud and love the fact I grew up on the west during that whole era. I understand everything they saying in that interview I was there living it but the West Coast is the best coast we got our own story to tell!
Hate it or love it, 2pac was bigger than hiphop. He’s your favorite artist’s favorite artist. “We had beef cuz THE BEST supposed to clash at the top.” - Nas
SO accurate
And he's sill going strong 2018 under front men kasanova the don and kindle da flame
Sean Gray chill son, he ain’t my fav rapper fav rapper, nas is ur fav rapper fav rapper, Tupac was a great rapper , well over rated , period
@@NAMSOist only people with limited intelligence would think PAC is overrated
Joel Wood only people who think pac is the greatest and overrate him are people who are small minded and not willing to listen to other greater people in the rap game, as we are talking about the music and not outside it, I love pac he is great and has good message and is most influential, but there are people who also had message and better lyrics and delivery and albums and style and punchlines and etc. Pac has mind control over u fools, I asked someone why he the greatest, they said how many records he sold (which sold when he died) they said how many songs he put out an albums (a lot of them were very average and low) and how many movies he put out before 25, (wtf movies got to do with his Music, shall we say will smith is the best
Lord Finesse is one of the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!! He the reason i rap and i'm from the West Coast!
Gotta fit DMX in that late 90’s era! No one & I mean no one was torching the game the way he did!!! Replay value for It’s Dark & Hell Is Hot + Flesh Of My Flesh.... #MyGawd
Totally agree that conversation wouldn't make sense without putting DMX in !
Without a doubt...Nobody could mess with X 1998-2002.
Emmanuel Mwanza 02 is a stretch but definitely until 2000
@@jayslay1000 50/eminem even included him in the ja rule beef tracks at times. He maybe didnt out out an album as good as before, but he was still great af
For some reason people don't like putting X in that list or just feel embarrassed mentioning him.
Gotta put DMX in that 90s era.
Nigel Moore bro X was a lyrical monster. I just got done listening to grand finale
Nigel Moore Absolutely
agreed
This convo was a necessity!
This is a great interview!!!! One of the best, makes me go down memory lane. In hip hop since '79!!! Love the history.
Nobody rhymes better than Pun.....his flow and breathe control is legendary. BARS!!
Biggie is better than pun
Derrick Robinson True but its room for argument.....you get what I'm sayin?.....Biggie versus alot of other people is no argument.
GRAY WOLF great point
Pun was the punch in king... once you hear it, you can never un-hear it. It’s distracting. Still one of the illest to ever put words together, and flow was dope still - but punched in a lot. And let’s be honest, dude was a BIG GUY lol. It’s not surprising.
Alex His words were so melodic and rhythmic... it was infectious....it was hard not to bob your head to a Pun verse.....sorta like say a Busta Rhymes. There's a lot of rappers with content and bars but they couldn't put the words in a fluent musical format like Pun so it flowed like water.
Yes!! Loved this conversation!!
Watching these guys geek out is awesome!!!!!
Honestly one of the best videos i've watched
I really enjoyed this for real 👍🏿
Teddy Riley and GUY was life back in the day. Harlem was the flyest
rahsaan hill shout out too Harlem For Always Being Flashy And Really about There Money
Ricoo GzZ real Talk
rahsaan hill I always thought teddy riley was from Va?
I think Cool J and Slick Rick Are the most underrated rappers of all time!!!!!!!!!
Facts
This is a very interesting, entertaining, informative and unbiased interview damnnnnnn 💯
I love hip hop debates
dwadefan4lyfe2 this Mick i got something for you 👉drive.google.com/file/d/1nanb4glkyuQCdrWuHjd5qEhNTj5V5hTW/view?usp=drivesdk and drive.google.com/file/d/18m2s6_ZydzWJ7x9HQJ64I01H69wYajLx/view?usp=drivesdk for your application of hip hop👑✌
dwadefan4lyfe2 me too. Especially ones like this
Anybody younger than 33... Go do your Googles!!! This is a priceless jewel lesson for yall
David Dixon not necessary I'm 25 and ik everybody they brought up
David Dixon, you killed them to tell them to get they googles. Lol
David Dixon yeah I’m 26 and I’m familiar with every rapper on here. Even the Beginning era and of course the golden era of hiphop
Im 21. The only person i wasnt familiar with was kool moe dee. Never heard of them.
dude I am 30 and know all the artists he mentioned.
One of the best conversations of all time
Really enjoyed that!
REDMAN.....
CHICOIZPAIN jersey need that love redman was a beast
CHICOIZPAIN nah
CHICOIZPAIN Reggie Noble
CHICOIZPAIN The most underrated rapper of all time
Facts
Man, so nice giving LL the credit he deserves.
Jarrel Ely With Big L not being around as long it’s hard to say.. from what he did release though, the bars he spit were unreal, so I’d go Big L
Dope discussion/ interview. Everything Joe saying is true. That's exactly how Forest Pojects was. I remember the Jams in the basketball court. Why doesn't this have a million views yet?
This one of those videos I keep coming back to for some reason. I just love hearing Joe discuss Hip-Hop like this.
Anybody wants a quick class in Hip History, just point them to this video. That said, Wu-Tang and André 3000 should have at least been in the conversation.
Yerr! These guys didn't even mention the Wu?! Are you kidding me?! 93 - 97 was Wu-Tang rampaging through hip hop! The whole clan in 93, meth was hit or miss in 94 - (couldn't compete with Nas that year anyway cause really nobody could!), in 95 two the hottest MCs in the game were from the clan! GZA and Rae with their solo debuts! Ironman by Ghost in 96! And in 97 it was Wu-Tang Forever! C'mon bro, in one form or another these niggas had their hand in that hip hop jar, don't front yo!
@@mawandemdutywa2571 clan would have been greater if they all remained with rza and not go their own way, rebel INS is proof that going to loud put him second tier behind rae, ghost and meth. He had the most insane verse on Triamph even though it's a recycled verse he used before Wu tang forever. U God is pure wack, should have never been in the group he's always been hating and causing internal beefs, Al though he did some amazing work on 8 diagrams, he's a below average rapper, not to mention masta killa is so private some people don't even know what he looks like.
Great Conversation by Two of Hip Hops Historians don’t get no better 💯💯💪
Nore and red alert should be on that panel talkin with them
EPIC Convo!!!
I’m speechless 😩there is so much to learn from just this segment 💯this getting me excited ♥️
Pun and Eminem on a track would've been 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eddie Natal and Big L or Naz bro that would of been amazing
Eddie Natal or DMX
HISTORY Eddie Natal
Eddie Natal EMINEM IS COOL BUT GUYS LIKE BIG L, SEAGRAM, AND SCARFACE GO HARDER Just my opinion.
Big Pun & Kool G Rap
Big L was on his way...He killed Jay on that freestyle
Doah and Duce podcast Exactly big L would of been the goat
Waaaay worst than EM!!
MrCbwTV I hope you’re not referring to Big L
Breeze Brown idk about that bruh
wslgva I agree with that
Great video!!
OMG!! This is so much fun to listen to.
Prodigy Of Mobb Deep (RIP) Was #1 for a few years in the mid-late90s. , that is FACTS.
Knightmare Mystery sleep
very underrated
Knightmare Mystery Facts!!!
95-00 P was top 3.
Facts!!!!!!!!
LL early bars are DEFINITELY underrated
I can listen to this all day!
Great interview!!!
Fat Joe changes his greatest rapper of all time every time he brings it up.
There is no top 5 list without Pac, Nas and Scarface PERIOD
and Mobb deep
That’s my top 3 right there!✊🏾
Eternal Exactly! 💯
Knightmare Mystery Outkast > Mobb Deep
Facts!!!
yo i'm not gonna even front, this interview was super dope. it was like two homie just kicking it and reminiscing talking about hip hop.
this was a GREAT!!! CONVO!! hiphop history...pay attention youngins!!! class is in session.
BIG L WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME AS WELL
So ahead of his time his parents haven't met yet
Mad skillz is average
Big L was a monster on the mic! Even Nas feared him
THANK YOU. I was dissapointed he missed out and L was joes boy. If L lived any longer then what he got to live.. He would be the king to this day.
@@timlewis2522 what?
10:24 when they went into that RUN DMC segment i got i to my hip hop feelings. I agree. When i heard RUNDMC the first time you definately could feel the culture of rapping shift.
Gee Money RUN DMC changed it all!!
I'm glad ya'll had this talk cz I youtuben the rappers from the first era and I'm like whoh! I vibe with this although it was before my time. Fat Joe #Truth #Flex Drop a bomb on this one.
Love listening to this... hip hop storytelling...😍😍😍
Mos Def , Gang star
Fat Joe look crushed when flex said t la rock ain't write it's yours
Great interview by the way
Wow I wish this interview was 3 hours long... classic!!!😎🙌💯🔥
Kool Moe Dee is extremely underrated. #Dontdance
Blackelly 5 yeah kool mo dee wouldve annihilated krs one lyrically.. but kool mo dee didnt have the hits or commercial success
He has classic songs, but no classic albums. The Old school artists weren' making well-rounded albums back then, it's not until the mid-late 80's that artists started making complete albums with classic material like Rakim, KRS, etc
to me theres 5 eras, the beginning, rakim bdk krs era, nas big jay z era, 50 camron down south era and now
Em 50 camron* outkast nas big and jay z era
They need to separate the 2000’s and 2010’s
There’s a complete difference✅
BIG FACTS
Big facts just like they did 80s and 90s and 90s and 2000s its only right
Just because he make hit records I don’t think people understand how hard 50 cent was spitting back in his prime. Definitely one of the most impactful in the game
The D.O.C No one can do it better
He's another what "if" .... We saw his whole career, if it wasn't for that accident he had.. He was lyrical beast
I like the way they’ve done this in terms of picking it in era’s. Don’t necessarily agree and it will always be subjective but I think that’s the best way to do it
Dammn lauren hill , props fat joe !
Great convo
One of the best interviews I’ve seen in awhile ...hip hop historians
Fat Joe is right M.C. Ren said he was rhyming like RUN-DMC until he heard 9 millimeter go Bang, he change his subject. Cube also stated that KRS-ONE was a major influence!
Odell Goodman-EL Yeah ren gives it up to Chris.
These conversations are important why you cutting it short lol Loved this btw
Dope ass build. Exactly why I'm glad I'm a 70's baby.
Its great to see that Fat Joe is giving props to Black Thought,when it comes to lyrical sparring with the great Pun.You really cant compare those two on "super lyrical" joint.They are both Gods when it comes to hiphop.They just have such a different approach in that collabo.
I don't know half of the rappers they're talking about but this is entertaining as hell.
HAHA HAHA educate yourself ! We should know our history. Respect
Lmao subscribe me bro
WALDOE2FUNNY it’s done
They all legends
FACTS
Kool G Rap is a no brainer. He kept Rakim on his toes.
Jarrel Ely + Two different eras. Bear in mind. Moe Dee basically quit rapping to attend college, because in his day, "rapping" wasn't considered a solid career path. But, for the point of arguing, G Rap takes him. Moe Dee peaked when he was battling LL, and had no gas left for the verbal gymnastics that G Rap was putting down when G Rap was peaking. Yes, Moe Dee was dope AF when he came out, and ultimately squashed party-rhyming Busy Bee; no question Moe Dee was dope for a few early-80's years. By 1990, it was G Rap and Rakim/Rakim and G Rap. (They both lifted the bar in terms of pure skill).
Jarrel Ely + The true forgotten/under appreciated pioneer is Melle Mel. He would easily push around a whole lot of classic-era MC's.
Jerrel Ely + That's a good one, but easy. G Rap. Not that this has anything to do with that matchup, but K Solo never got to really shine. I forgot the politics on his career. Although Solo had a choppier delivery, Kane basically fathered his original style, and then you could hear the G Rap influence on Solo's second album. But, Solo was a dope dude no doubt.
He kept Big Daddy Kane on his toes and his heels!
@Jarrel Ely NO.He wasn't worried about him....I think the only 3 rappers that could make BDK sweat were Rakim, KRS-ONE, and Kool G.Rap
Hip Hop debates are the best. Especially when you got people who actually spent real time with legends and hanged out with them like Flex and Fat Joe. Two great hip hop historians. Make another one PLEASE.
Raekwon was the sleeper in that Jay-Z, Biggie, and Nas era along with Prodigy.
Facts
About time rakim gets his respect
🐐s talking about 🐐s... Priceless
Great interview
If you never wore Cazals, a shearling and Bally's, you might not fully get this interview.
Tone Riggz false...I was too poor for that shit.😁 (and its Gazelles)
See I told you I was too poor, you're right...Cazals
Blackelly 5 Gazelles LOL
The 3 greatest Careers That Never Was :
- Slick Rick
- The D.O.C.
- Big L
Canibus with a good producer
watching this for the millionth time
I’m so glad Flex put Chuck D in his top 5, my fav MC of all time!!!
