Spitting dope flows over the "Triumph Beat".

When has just rapping good led to success? What label he was on and how many albums he released? That’s a big factorWonder why Percee P never blew up
I know Joey Crack is not the GOAT lyricist but his delivery is top 10.
Wonder why Percee P never blew up
I couldn't have said that better myself. Dap and rep.fat joe is the tom cruise of rap, check it.. you see tom cruise at no point was ever considered some immense talent when it came to acting. you can look back at his career as a young actor in the 80's and when he wasn't get a lead as a "face" he was always a side character to more talented dudes. like the 1983 film outsiders for instance. you had patrick swayze, ralph macchio, matt dillon, emilio estevez, and rob lowe? all could act circles around tom and like rob lowe he was more of a face than anything else with even lower tier talent...
but you see like fat joe tom cruise was always incredibly driven and dedicated to his craft. we're talking obsessively, while also being humble enough to never really trip if he worked with a dude who was more talented and possibly getting outshined like the film jerry maguire with cuba gooding. though nominated, tom wasn't winning no oscar like cuba. but he stayed on his grind, kept working with acting coaches, and doing mad studying of uta hagen and stella adler. even after becoming a major box office draw, he was always trying to get better. he knew he wasn't no damn denzel, deniro, christian bale, or philip seymour hoffman. but goddamnit he was finna work himself into that kinda greatness if it killed him
joe is the equivalent of that b. he literally surrounded himself with nasty emcees, writing constantly, and figured out how to master his own craft. this fat dude is so humble, he let 1998 pun criticize his rhymes and tell him that he was a surface level rapper who never took it deep enough n/h. pun said joe's rapping literally annoyed him. what?? his protege and nikka HE'S putting on to the game is saying this to him and he ain't offended? not only that is telling us this publicly with no qualms? yeah man it's that spirit of humility along with being dedicated to this rap shyt, with however you feel about him abandoning the underground d.i.t.c. shyt and becoming a commercial entity, that has made him into a legend who is relevant today unlike a million doper nikkas who debuted in 1992 like he did. fat fukkin joe, the tom cruise of the rap game son
I always heard he didn't want to sign to a label
he def got mad offers over the years wasn't interested
This is true. Eventually he released albums under Stones Throw like "Perserverance"....I always heard he didn't want to sign to a label
he def got mad offers over the years wasn't interested
