fat joe top 3 ear for beats
I think Red Magic and Save Them were supposed to be singles for Die or Die 2, and they weren't even on the project. Don't trust what AZ says about his upcoming albums.Fat Joe has a good ear for beats but judging by that Buckwild snippet unless we’re in for the greatest beat switch of ALL TIME they dropped the ball on the single
Fat Joe is unnecessary.
All AZ needs to do is link with one producer and let them do their thing. He can get Pete Rock and get the same kind of production Skyzoo or DZA got and he'll have a great album.
His last few albums have been all over the place with production or he's getting throwaways. Get in the studio with one person and focus.
Fat Joe has so many relationships and connections with literally everybody in the industry tho…not to mention his knack for finding/making hot ass records…I don’t see how AZ could lose in this situation. The promo will be there, the invites/embrace will be there from the industry people…if the music is fire then AZ super good!
Everyone needs hot ass records/beats bro, lol. I don't mean "hits"...I just mean jammin ass music. AZ been lacking that, no?Man AZ doesn't need "hot ass records." He's pushing 50 and is far removed from that kind of relevancy. All the things you're saying Joe brings to the table is not what AZ needs in 2023.
What he needs is to simplify things and just make a great album. No more random ass beats from random producers. One producer, one album.
Pete
Ski Beatz
Premier
He can call any of them and they'd be willing to work with him. It's guaranteed to come out great.
The older generation of NY rappers like The Lox been putting out garbage because they're working with nobodies. Your fan base is old and if you want to get them excited link with the producers they connect with. You're not gaining new fans so give your audience what they want to hear.

Whatever tho, you def know more and better than I do, I aint been up on Z in a minute, pause. I just wanna see my son win, he deserves it.
Nas is about to inspire the Hip Hop 50 album.That Nas 50th party done brought heads together!!
Cormega got word that raekwon and havoc will work on his next project!
That's a bold statement, we shall see.These rappers just lazy. They don't want to call the legends because they're going to make them work. Premier isn't going to let you slack so they just get some young beat maker to give them something on the cheap, they bullshyt in the studio with their yes men, lay some vocals, and call that an album. You can see it in the artwork, videos, and hear it in the music. Everything is low grade and they're not even trying. Just retire at that point.
Westside Gunn been asking these guys to let him handle their albums but they know he's trying to get them to be great but they don't want to put in the effort. They see that Griselda work ethic and want no parts of it.
Pete been dropping fire every project. He hasn't lost a step and the album he does with Common will be better than anything AZ or The Lox have done in 20 years.
Mega sad that AZ is his mans, so easy to get in touch with, but hard to get in the studio consistently. I forget what they were working on at the time.My mans did a session for AZ nikka said he was just tryna see where the bytches wasrecorded 2 tracks and text joints the rest of the time
Edit: the snippet he played was ridiculous though honestly. This my mans so I wasnt going to get him jammed up
His album doesn't have to have one producer though, it just needs to sound focused and cohesive. His last few have not....actually most of his albums don't. And I don't even know if AZ over Premo or Pete Rock for an entire album doesn't get stale about halfway through...even though he'd fair better with Pete Rock than Premo for a full one.Man AZ doesn't need "hot ass records." He's pushing 50 and is far removed from that kind of relevancy. All the things you're saying Joe brings to the table is not what AZ needs in 2023. If Nas isn't selling records in 2023 what's AZ gonna do with "promo."

If he's top 3, who's 1 and 2?
