Editorial Reviews

Fat Joe - as one of the best MCs in the world during the past decade, very few MCs have matched his longevity, especially within the last five years. Throughout his career, Joe has obviously been cut from the cloth of supreme mic holders. He's held his own on songs with modern day legends such as Big Pun and Big L, the Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Grand Puba and one of the greatest collection of Masters of Ceremonies to ever assemble, D.I.T.C. Fat Joe has discovered some of the best artist in the rap game (Big Pun, Remy Ma, etc.), been nominated for two Grammy awards, and has achieved commercial and critical success.

Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.) will have the usual supporting cast of A-level producers and guest artists including Lil Wayne, Akon and Ron Browz. Fat Joe's prophetic quote, "2008 going into 2009, when we say `Happy New Year', we're gonna really celebrate. I'm going for all the marbles. Its gonna be my biggest year." J.O.S.E. 2 will take Fat Joe to the next level and make the world stand up and recognize the era of "Crillz Mania" has finally arrived. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: Jealous One's Envy (Audio CD)

this is his second best album,this is when he more gangsta,he is gangsta in real life but im talkin music wise,this album is also special because you also hear an appearance for the first time none other than the great big pun on the song watch out produced by diamond d,you also hear armegeddon for the first time,which i heard who wrote fat joe's lyrics for the song success,this is a good album, but this time he's more into the mafioso themes now,which is good.let me warn you people there are no commercial tracks in this album so mainstream audience beware.i respect fat joe as a person but his music these days are horrible,get back with ditc joe,standout tracks are bronx tale (produced by diamond d featuring krs one),the s**t is real (remix by dj premier),respect mine (produced by joe fatal featuring raekwon),watch out(produced by diamond featuring big pun(first appearance),armegeddon(first appearance),and i don't know the other cat,but this is for fans of fat joe during his ditc days,new york hip hop,and mafioso hip hop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Before the glitz & glamour got a hold of Mr. Cartegena, January 3, 2006

Solution "every problem has a SOLUTION" (Lakeland, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jealous One's Envy (Audio CD)

Jealous One's Envy was Joe's second album....after the limited success of his debut "Fat Joe da Gangsta Represent". Fat Joe makes his second effort a memorable one. Personally, Jealous One's Envy(a moniker of his name JOE) is Joe's best album to date and his last real hip hop album in the opinion of many including your truly. This album boasts a solid effort in production(Domingo, DJ Premier and others), guest appearances(KRS-One, a much younger and a little slimmer Big Punisher(R.I.P) and a much younger Armageddon). Joe's delivery is at it's peak on this album even though it was only his second one. From beginning to end, Joe delivers raw and uncut lyrics and a timeless display of mental prowess on cuts such as "Bronx Keeps Creating It"(a strong shoutout to Joe's Bronx hometown roots) and "Dedicated" (another shoutout song to other industry cats as well as Joe's family and friends). Hip hop's downfall in the late 90's also led to Joe's demise and weak released albums...Don Cartegena, Jealous One's Still Envy, Loyalty and All Or Nothing. I would rather remember Joe from his golden days with albums such as this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fat Joe's Key Sucess Back In '95 [4 stars], May 18, 2006

This review is from: Jealous One's Envy (Audio CD)

It's kind of hard to believe that Fat Joe actually made an album like this before, like many people said, 'sold out.' This is Fat Joe' second album back in late 1995, back when he was held down by a group called D.I.T.C. Prduction was held by DJ Primer of Gangstarr, Diamond D, L.E.S. and others.

The album starts off with no gimmics, as KRS-One is the first to rhyme as he introduces the album on "Bronx Tale". He keeps his grimy, street type flow momentum on most of the album as the L.E.S. produced "Fat Joe's In Town" and "Respect Mine" with the help of Wu-Tang's Raekwon who borrows a line from C.R.E.A.M. and uses it as the hook. Primo was busy too as he produced the better version of "Success" and "The S*** Is Real" both nice tracks. Joe himself would get behind the boards himseld and produce "Dedication" as he gives thanks to a lot of people. The album would finish off with the song "Bronx Keeps Creating It."

Most of this album is filled with real nice production some of an early/young Fat Joe's lyrics. I'd say the only two tracks I didn't like that much (not saying they were bad, put pushed the album in another direction) was "Envy" that uses elements from Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and the origonal "Sucess." But other than that this album holds its own. I recommend this to fans of Fat Joe's work probably up until the year 2000, because this was one of his best albums.
