I love Pun, one of my favorite emcees ever BUT his family doing a lot.
I was never the biggest Fat Joe fan, but it occurred to me while driving today when one of Fat Joe's songs came on the radio, the cool and dre one over the biggie beat, that Fat Joe been consistently on the radio since 1993.
To stay relevant for nearly 30 years in this fickle world of hiphop is fukking amazing.
Fat Joe has shown an ability to maintain good relationships with most people in the industry. As a result, just when you're about to stick a nail in his coffin, someone relevant in the industry throws him a bone and he comes back with a banger.
I love Pun, I truly do. I'll never forget popping his Capital Punishment CD into my brand new desktop back in '98.
However, the fact that he ate himself to death without leaving his family financially situated, falls on Pun and Pun only....NOT Fat Joe.
