Watching some of the elders of the culture has been an experience that I thought hip-hop was too cool for. In the early 2000s, the rapper’s mystique was everything, and the only time you got hear from an artist, outside of their music, was their interviews. With social media, that has expanded and the personality of few has stood the through the test of time. Fat Joe has got to be one of the best storytellers that no one saw coming. He’s honest, fly, and wise. In this Episode of 7PM in Brooklyn, Fat Joe can reflect on his earlier years in the hip-hop industry and talk about the highs and lows, laughing about it now, but also see the blessing that those highs and lows brought him. He touches on hunting down rare sneakers, performing at the world series, and talks about one of the greatest Rucker games that never happened.
Carmelo and his hosts have created a comfort place for his guest to come and bro down. And Fat Joe is more than a bro, he’s more like your cousin, always giving you shit while simultaneously building you up. Do yourself a favor and check it out when you get some time.
