Fat Joe sat down with BET and showed nothing but love to New York rapper 50 Cent for creating one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
“One of the greatest albums of all time. And it’s crazy ’cause I had beef with him and I wouldn’t allow myself to hear it, wouldn’t let DJs play it.” But I knew that it was G-Unit. Recently, J. Cole came out at his concert and said it was the greatest album of all time. Nas came out and said, ‘Yo, this changed the game.’ And it’s a fact,” he said of 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album.
He continued: “His flows, his melodies, his beats, the energy Hip Hop music had never felt. That energy that he was coming with, it was like yo, this is that…you got that dangerous thing to it. He teamed up with Mr. Professional, Dr. Dre and Eminem. See, 50 Cent woulda still been amazing but he’d have came with those New York beats that was really really good, but once again, Dr. Dre makes everything iPic. he makes everything crystal clear. He just gives you that professionalism like you on a podium or something.”
Is he right?
