Talent, hell no. That's why he played second, third and fourth fiddle in ts.

Influence is another story. The guy was in the diggin the crates crew alongside big l for the love of Jordan's.

fukk no. Fat Joe is a terrible rapper who muscled his way into the industry. He was pure garbage when he tried to write his own raps on his first album. From his second album on, he's used ghostwriters and shamelessly dikkrode whatever style was popping at the time and somehow managed to keep getting major label releases with stellar guest appearances and production despite being completely devoid of talent and most of his albums going wood.

fukk that Bebop from Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtles-looking pile of boil-in-bag pulled pork.

I don't see the resemblance to bebop personally. Bebop got a square-ish head and a protruding snout. Joe's head is rounder and flatter.

I fukked with the Darkside albums though

how is he underrated when he admits his style and flow is in lieu of big pun?
if he didnt say that and held his own, THEN i would consider him underrated.

That's like saying rza, odb and high chief are garbage because gza taught them how to rhyme. Or ghost is trash cause rae taught ghost some things(according to rae) or (fill in any situation where someone taught someone how to write, flow or step their bars up)

Joe is defiantly a student of hip hop. But not as talented as a Nas or Rakim. He got goons and is from the Bronx aka the birthplace of hip hop.

I just don't like how use the word nikka like he is one. We know the LKs was doin brothas wrong over their in the prison system. And Joe know this too. We go through the same struggles but don't overstep you bounds your not black. That shyt might fly in NYC but in certain places in the south.......

It flies everywhere, not meaning that certain circles don't reject it but you will find people who do this everywhere (this is not an endorsement of it, I've never and will never give a fukk either way).
Don't know where thecoli got this it's only New York thing from.

Naw. It don't. I know for a fact it don't. Not up for discussion.

Funny, because I live i ncalifornia and literally every place i've been here ive seen white people, mexicans, and asians saying nikka with no problem in the presence of black people.
That's not "New York".
If the issue of whether non black people are able to say nikka is an issue centralized in New York can you explain to me how it's managed to become a topic of discussion all across the country? Why whenever i've gotten into discussions with black people from other states online outside of thecoli they've been able to give their two cents on the issue with people saying nikka and have come to say that they just use it casually and no one cares?
Doesn't make any sense, you can go to just about any state and you'll find black people who have dealt with this issue giving their perspective on it, how can they have a perspective on it if it doesn't occur there?
And like I said, it occurs everywhere, but that doesn't mean everyone tolerates it everywhere, if someone somewhere gets punked because they say nikka and you see it and take that to mean we don't do that around here, that doesn't mean two towns or cities over their aren't a group of white kids using nikka in their every day vocabulary.
(and once again, this is not an endorsement of it, I'm black and I've never used nikka as a way to refer to people, just doesn't sound right to me, i'm just telling you what happens)

Gets no props as an artist using ghostwriters, otherwise he is indeed a definite hip-hop guy.
