Fat Joe Passed On Signing Eminem Six Different Times

[Awesome Wells]

A lot of people passed on Em.

Dru Ha from Duck Down said he passed on him too. Erick Sermon always talks about how he could've signed him. Erick passed on a lot of people. LOL!! 50, B.I.G., tons of people who would go on to make classic music. It's not always easy to predict who someone will become later, skilled or not.

Dre fine tuned Eminem's ear but the talent was already there. I would argue that MTV and his music videos helped make Em huge the most.

That Dre cosign was bigger than anything

Em is not Em with Fat Joe

Joe would have beat the dog shyt out of Eminem and sent him back to his inbred mother and her trailer park if he started that corny homo erotic rap shyt around him.. Dr Dre and the timing Eminem came out in made him what he was.

you have a rebellious white rapper saying fukk you to the world, a cartoon that had kids cussing and the WWF attitude era all happening at the same time..it was the perfect storm and Dre ate lovely.

Would've ruined a classic song
