pretty good album. 'No Problems' is the best track, banging beat, better than 'I Wann Rock', even if its VERY similar 8)

1. Intro - 3/5. Not bad Intro. Didn't really grab me though.
2. Valley of Death - 3.75/5. Beat is hot. Fat Joe is pretty tight on here. Overall good album track.
3. I Am Crack - 4/5. Beat is straight crack no pun. Fat Joe sounds pretty damn good on this too.
4. Kilo - 4/5 - Clipse killed it. Beat is fire. Familiar sample. Cam'ron came nice too.
5. Rappers are in Danger - 4.5/5. Lovin' the old school beat and scratches on the record. Great real rap record. Fat Joe took it back on this album.

6. (Ha Ha) Slow Down - 3.75/5. Scoop drops a hot beat. Been out a while. Love the Ha Ha! Pretty entertaining track.
7. If It Ain't About Money - 3.5/5. Hot mainstream beat. Songz sounds OK on here.
8. No Problems - -4.25/5. Straight spittin. Rico Love sounds dope as hell on here. Beat is fire too.
9. How Did We Get Here - 2.75/5. Beat doesn't do anything for me. Fat Joe kinda' spittin' corny. R. Kelly sounds disappointing on here too.
10. Money Over Bitches - 2.5/5 This Raw Uncut producer did the 2 worst beats on the album. TA sounds basic. Typical Too $hort haha.

11. Heavenly Father - 4.25/5. Back on track. Cool Wayne hook. Simple but effective. Love the "heavenly father" voice after the hook. Fat Joe spittin meaningful too.
12. I'm Gone - Premo! - 4/5. Typical hot Premier beat. Love the scratches. Lotta talking though.
13. At Last Supremacy - 4.25/5. Busta sounds energized as hell; sounds dope. This beat is dark as hell and I love it.

Overall: 3.75/5.

Pretty good album. Never been a huge Fat Joe fan so to be honest, not sure if I'd even give this album another spin but I did enjoy it a little.

Wow, this is actually one of the better albums of the year.


6. "(Ha Ha) Slow Down" (featuring Young Jeezy) (Produced By Scoop DeVille) 3:25
7. "If It Ain't About Money" (featuring Trey Songz) (Produced By Cool & Dre) 3:53
8. "No Problems" (featuring Rico Love) (Produced By Scoop DeVille) 2:57
9. "How Did We Get Here" (featuring R. Kelly) (Produced By Raw Uncut) 4:20
10. "Money Over Bitches" (featuring Too $hort & TA) (Produced By Raw Uncut) 3:59
11. "Heavenly Father" (featuring Lil Wayne) (Produced By Streetrunner) 4:05

these songs are back to back to back hot shit. I LOVE the sound of Money Over Bitches, sounds like that turn of the century style evolved. No Problems is amazing too, that should be huge (but it won't be). This albums level reminds of when Joe came out with New York and Safe 2 Say.

Fat Joe still has a very late 90s style, I dig this.

The last (and only) Fat Joe album I listened to was "All or Nothing" and I liked it. Gave this one a chance and the shit is bangin! I'll give it another listen to be sure I wasn't bamboozled.

I like this!

Do you listen to an album once and review it?
