4.0 out of 5 stars Fat Joe in a strong era & before he sold out, March 6, 2004

By	brother_ike "brother_ike" (L-Boogie) - See all my reviews

This is a great album from Fat Joe, and not to be confused with the pop rap he makes these days. Fat Joe here is street & hard, kicking hard rhymes over thumping, dark and heavy beats, in the midst of that classic NYC era of 90-95.

Primo offers a few nice beats, but Diamond D does the best production work, kicking things off with the eerie 'Bronx Tale' with KRS-1. Joes raps are hard and BS-free throughout, but his sidekicks don't really show much potential, barring the nice guest spot from Big Pun.(Chef raekwon also shows up)

The closing 'Bronx Keeps Creating It' is my personal fave, although throughout it should be noted that things are hard & rugged, with the exception of the Sexual Healing jack 'Envy', which is soft and feels out of place within the rest of the music. Overall a pretty ominous vibe is carried off, what with the mafioso interludes as well, and an album this good makes you wonder why Joe had to sell out and go pop, like so many others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fat Joe shows his many fierce rhyme styles on this release, September 29, 1998

By A Customer

For those of you who liked "DON CARTAGENA" you will dig "JEALOUS ONE'S ENVY". JOe shows off his fierce rhyme style on cuts like "ENVY" and "Respect Mine" with Wu-tangs The Chef. Joe also skillfully pays homage to all the true hip-hop artists of our time on "Dedication". Last but not least,one of the best tracks on the cd is the DJ Premier produced remix of "Sh@@t Is Real". This is my favorite track. True Fat Joe fans should pick this release up.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Before Crack turned wack"!, August 24, 2005

By	"Old Skool" Ran-Dee ("Da' Bronx") - See all my reviews

For those that don't know, Fat Joe was supposed to be the next "Bronx King", but after selling out with the wack-assed "WHAT'S LOVE?", Joe lost his ground, as well as his future title. Melle-Mell gave birth to KRS ONE, KRS gave us Lord Finesse, and Finesse delivered us "Fat Joe Da' Gangsta'". But what happened to the next royal MC from "The Boogie"? HE sold out!! There for his title was forfeited and given to the new champion hailing from the "SOUTH BRONX", "BIG DOG PUNISHER" (Big Pun) of the "FULL O' CLIPS CREW"! Believe it or not, this CD is ILL! Production by Premo & Diamond D. And guests appearances by KRS, Big Pun and Raekwon. A classic of the Boom-Bap era! A pitty he sold out.
