Rolling Stone (11/16/95, p.113) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a gigantic physical presence with the rhyming skills to match. The force of his delivery often forces the beat to match his flow rather than his flow surrendering to the beat's rhythmic constraints..."
Bronx-born MC Fat Joe Da Gangsta parlayed his notoriety as a graffiti writer into a lucrative and influential career as an MC and hip-hop impresario. One of the first east coast MCs to rhyme unapologetically about the harsh realities of the hustla's life, Fat Joe gained a considerable amount of underground respect in the mid-1990s. But mega-success would come later as leader of the Terror Squad--featuring his equally stout prot�g� the late Big Pun--and again via his smash duet with Ashanti, 2002's "What's Love?" Representing the Puerto Rican voice in hip-hop, Fat Joe has been a major supporter of that community's reggaeton movement, which broke into the mainstream in the early 2000s.
