Joe Crack & Absolutely Noone Else

I doubt that this album has any reference to De La Soul's 80's hit, regardless though, Fat Joe's 7th album (not including D.I.T.C. or Terror Squad) Me, Myself & I is ready to drop next week. There's talk of a couple other rappers in the game. But really, take Mr. Cartegena's catalogue into consideration.

Represent (1993)
'Flow Joe' was the joint, on the Mixshows, the title track 'Represent' which was shared by anyone putting out a single or album during '93 was heavy,(I like to call those the renaissance years) but 'Shit is Real' was bananas, real street stories that spoke on Joe's family and community.

Jealous One's Envy (1995)
DJ Premier was completely in his prime when he laced Success, the drums and bassline were crazy, not to mention the lyrical energy, Envy the video cut that used the Marvin Gaye "Sexual Healing" sample, and the elusive b-side Firewater that featured Raekwon and a breakout verse from Big Pun (Sweets says it's on J.O.E.).

Don Cartegena (1998)
I can't lie.. I personally slept on this one. but the gigantous cut was JOHN BLAZE ft. Nas, Big Pun, Raekwon, Jadakiss. This was right in the vein of classic posse cuts of the era. This album is worth checking out again if u slept on it.

J.O.S.E. (2001)

This is probably the album that got the most mainstream profile during Joe's career with the Smashes What's Luv? f. Ashanti and We Thuggin f. R. Kelly. There were definitely strong cuts featuring the emergance of Terror Squad members especially Remy Ma.

Loyalty (2002)

Most of the standout tracks on this album were featuring Tony Sunshine, Can you bring him back Mr. Cartagena? A solid album track for track. But I still think it lacked the fire power of other Fat Joe Albums.

All or Nothing (2005)

Slept on album. The bangers kept coming with his previous release. Safe 2 Say (Incredible) was huge, so was So Much More.. and let's try to forget the pop-level stuff that were synonymous w/ Joey's album categorized by feat. of J-Lo, R. Kelly, Nelly & Mashonda.




As for Me, Myself and I, the intro seals this album and it rides well front to back. You be the judge on Tuesday.
