Fat Joe Admits To Lying In “95 Percent” Of His Raps While Discussing Young Thug RICO Trial

[ThaPrez]

I'm actually intrigued when they say someone is a studio gangster, or like Ja Rule is fake.

It takes a lot more skill to fantasize poetically about something you never did. And do it at a high level to where it's entertaining.

Rappers will never get proper credit for that but Hollywood writers do it all day.

I don't know that Ja ever had people hooked on the gangster tales or stories..... it was more hit songs and cool image when they were at their peak

all them Ashanti shyts, catchy hooks, cool beats, nice videos

it werent Ja's skill at painting pictures that popped them shyts

Ain't nobody finna wrap Joey up in no Rico for some shyt 2-3 decades old. He need to knock the attention whoring off unless he officially vouching for Thug on some character witness type ish

If anything, he’s doing a service for the rap community as a whole. Plausible deniability. If someone like Fat Joe comes out and reveals he’s fabricating his bars while not under the pressure of litigation it gives the average Joe an out. They can just say, “hey, I’m just like Fat Joe. It’s art.” Also allows 5% of your bars to be dedicated to heinous, ruthless, gully, grimy shyt without fear of having to face prosecution.

I would think its easier to just make up any random shyt.. than try to make what most mundane hood shyt is on a day to day..

Joe a real one for this What they're doing sets a terrible precedent.

Don't rap about real crimes unless you paid for them already. That should be common sense

I think people are taking what Joe's saying too literally. He's on CNN. Of course he's gonna say all of it was lies.

Anyone who believes this is as gullible as the dumb nikkas he’s addressing. Lol

I BELIEVE IT SIMPILY BECAUSE
HES USED WRITERS SINCE THE 90S

We know this.

You can't rap and be James St. Patrick got 30 years...

 

[Braman]

As if the feds were even thinking about him like that lol.

You might wanna do your googles. Joe is as deeply tied to the streets as any rapper in history

If they got Bobby Shmurda for being affiliated with GS9 they coulda got Joe 10 times over.

BUT…You gotta remember RICO was created to stop the mob in New York. So in the 90s early 2000s when Joe was deeply tied to TS/Latin kings, Feds wasn’t even thinking about rapper crews and def not for Rico like they are now. They were still using RICO for its original purpose, the mob.

It’s no coincidence that the first real cases of the Feds targeting rap crews—-Murder Inc in 2003—coincided with most of the mob being dismantled. That’s when the Feds pivoted to rap

Some decade plus, me and my man's was having a discussion about this. I said "how come rappers aren't as revered as writers?" His response "there's too many of them "
