No, Hammers not a good emcee and he got popular.. but Hammer was a great guy, charismatic, and a talented dancer.  I don’t get why Fat Joe is popular. 

But to your point about Big Pun and rubbing elbows with the right people, sure that’s possible...

But still my question was am I the only one he thinks he’s a below average emcee?

I swear it’s like this dude is everywhere these days... and gettin Maad love from all the artist I respect from our era and it’s like... I was around for the whole 90’s hiphop era I’m 39 and I barely remember the dude...  he only really made noise once and that was when Ashanti was the hottest bitch in the industry and she blessed him with a hook right at the height of her fame... that was the one and only time really.. and “Lean Back” made some noise and then like Sccit said you knew he was Pun’s main man but that was it

He’s ok. I only checked out his stuff because he was Pun’s boy but nowhere near his level

But then again you called DMX overrated which I feel like is absurd. Maybe you just haven’t dug deep enough

He's the Mack 10 of the east coast. They both know how to rap but never hit with their lyrics.

I first listen to Fat Joe when "Flow Joe" came out on "The Box" in 1993 when I was staying in Rochester, N.Y.

That was a very long time ago.

And Im 40 Years Old now.

I remember Lean Back and that song with Ashanti getting play but as far as I know Fat Joe hasn't been popular for the last 20 years.
