Don Cartagena and Jose are 2 great albums

Damn near all his albums are fire because he's one of the goats at picking beats(basically made Khalid and cool & dre successful ) and he's good on features

His rhymes are in the middle, not really wack but not great either

Overall he's not spectacular lyricist, but very few are. If you like Rick Ross, you can listen to Crack. He's still above average, and has a better catalog than most of your favorites. His best album is still JOE

My lifestyle is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time. He isn’t the best, but is a good artist

His image and personality were a huge part of his appeal.

The more I know about him the cornier I think he is.

He made good music though.

Fat joe was WACK from day one and is still WACK now... and he's most likely going to continue to be WACK until he stop rapping.

Like most, I’ll say he knows how to make a hit, and pick a beat, he’s found a way to put albums out that appeal to most, i personally can’t think of too many lines of his that i was like damn joe spittin but he’s a good Mc

He's good. Overbearing at times but he gets the job done.
