The World, but from BK
JOSE had terrible beats. JOSE 2 had even worse beats. Elephant In The Room was forgettable. Me Myself & I ive completely forgotten how it sounds. Darkside 2 was ass if memory serves. The Terror Squad albums had spotty beats.


Fat Joe most def does not have a great ear for beats post DITC....at all.


:mindblown:

I didn't say I liked JOSE (those beats didn't age that well but you can't deny some of the songs on there had people loving Fat Joe for the first time)

Loyalty to me is his most underrated shyt from a beats point of view.

Go back and listen to Darkside 2.

So Fly
Angels Say
Pushing Keys w/Raekwon
Around The World

Even that song Another Round, lyrically Joe sucked but the beat with the Troop sample and that hook :ohlawd:

like I said, he's got a real good ear for beats.




Darkside 1 was amazing to listen to. How Did We Get Here shoulda got way more love than it did



You see I wisely didn't include Loyalty in my critique right? I liked that one.

But given all the duds and half hearted albums full of Miami type shyt and Scott Storch and weak shyt that doesn't age well I can't accept him as having a good ear for beats.

fukkin' Nas has had better beats the last 13 years than Joe.

Outside of Cool & Dre and Khaled he doesn't do much of that south shyt on his albums. Even that wack ass All or Nothing record had Safe 2 Say and that shyt went hard.

Nah you lost me with the bolded. The difference between Joe and Nas is that Joe really works with Premo. Nas only says he's talking to Premo to get everyone's hopes up before linking up with Solar Salaam Remi

I have all Joe's albums...i totally forgit about All or Nothing. I didn't like that Safe to Say joint at all. Mad frantic.

Joe works with Preemo like what? Every 4 records? And even the joint on Darkside was lackluster. I'm telling you if you lineup the last 13 years of Joe & Nas albums Nas has waaaaay better songs. And people here know i take great pleasure in Nas bashing.

better songs or better beats? Again, we're only discussing his beat selection. I'm not gonna get into his vanilla mediocre lyricism. That's a pretty short argument.
