Fat Joe - Shit Is Real

Fat Joe wasn’t always synonymous with DJ Khaled, leaning back or making it rain, in fact, at one point in time he was just a kid form the Bronx who fell in love with hip hop. This kid eventually grew up to the man we know today but it seems that his passion for hip-hop might have gotten lost somewhere along the way. Early on in Joe’s career he was another MC trying to prove himself to his city and the hip-hop community. Teaming up the guys like Big Pun, Big L and DJ Premier, Joe was able to make a name for himself not only as a predominant Latino rapper but as an overall skilled MC. “Shit Is Real” is a perfect song that was true to who Joe was as rapper and as a man. He was always someone who was never afraid to say what was one his mind and he did it in such a poetic way. As time went on, he became less concentrated about making good music and more about truly embodying the name FAT Joe. I can wholeheartedly say that the skinnier Fat Joe actually made some decent music, it is just unfortunate that there are so many hip-hop artists that get caught up in the lifestyle and make their fans suffer.
