Editorial Reviews

If the title The Elephant in the Room represents anything, it's Fat Joe's solid and reliable talent. It can't refer to the rapper himself because the man gets press by the pallet, but if you sift through all the beef talk and the chump accusations you'll --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars From start to finish, April 1, 2008

This guy is so underrated. I loved it on the first listen, 4 stars. No instant classics or major hit singles here, though I personally like a few of the tracks quite a bit... lyrics are tight, some good production from some well known producers (Scott Storch, Swiss Beatz, Danja, DJ Kaled). Pretty up tempo tracks... one of those CDs you can throw in & listen to all the way through from start to finish over & over again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crack!!!!!!!!, March 12, 2008

Do you know Fat Joe got the name Joey Crack not because of his drug dealing ways but because when he was a kid everytime he bent over you could see his butt crack! Lol Just a random fact. But one the real Fat Joe has been one of the most consistant artist over the last 15 years. He has so many 4 mic albums in my opinion, although he may not be the best rapper around. The Dj Premier track "That White" is just crazy Ill! Just straight NY hip-hop. The single w/ J. Holiday is good not great as well. The rest of the songs are done by the runners/Cool &Dre/Dj Khaleed(Beat Novacane) & they did great here, as the always do for Joey Crack. If You like good music make this purchase, plus this album is waaaaaay better than CURTIS! 50 Cent is a clown at times!

4.0 out of 5 stars 8th solo is another good one, March 19, 2008

Just 16 months since his last album, Fat Joe returns with his 8th solo album, and another good one. I have 6 of his albums, and half I'd give 4 stars half I'd give 4.5 stars. Short like most of his albums with only 12 songs, you get 1 almost classic, 5 ar eok, and the other 6 are good. Guests aren't too heavy, rapping on just 2 of the songs and doing the hooks on about half. Production is decent, not as good as he usually has but still pretty good. LV & Sean C, and Street Runner each do 2 songs, Cool & Dre, Steve Morales & J Starz, Danja, Scott Storch, DJ Premier, Alchemist, Swizz Beats, and DJ Khaled each do 1 song. A nice album for his fans to have, not his est but still worth while.
