FAT JOE PRAISES “SUPER-TALENTED” KANYE WEST

Posted by Adam

Fat JoeRAPPER Fat Joe has praised “super-talented” Kayne West.

The What’s Luv? hitmaker spoke about West’s new record, Power, and said that although it’s a good first single, he hopes the star’s forthcoming album, Good Ass Job, is even better.

“I just feel like he’s super talented and that joint was, I’m sure he’s got even better than that,” said Joe.

“I like Power a lot, but I’m sure he’s even better than that. Kanye West’s my favorite rapper.

“And even though Power wasn’t Kanye’s best effort, at the end of the day, I’m a huge Kanye West fan.”

Meanwhile, Joe has opened up about his tough time with record label Capitol Records.

“I had signed with Capitol through a guy named Neal Levine, but he took a promotion at Sony and left,” he said.

“The new guy that took over, immediately me and him didn’t get alone. We had bad words with each other, so he pretty much told me, ‘Yo, you are going to see how I do you!’

“That meant no marketing dollars behind that album…no money for videos or for a promo tour. They left me to die. But that doesn’t take away from [J.O.S.E. 2] being a good album.”

    Fat Joe can about his tough times all he wants, but i own a small speaker company called Elevation Audio and paid Fat Joe and his company $30,000 to come to upstate, NY and do a show! We promoted the show for over 6 week, booked a 5000 seat venue, Fat Joe even calls into to do the radio spot and the night before the show, he calls in and to the local radio station and does a 3 minute hype spot with the on air DJ. Then the following day (day of the show) he never shows and makes some member of his people call and say that he got hurt when come to find out he stayed at a club called mansion in Miami, made me waste 10,000 on first class air fare! so if if the record label dropped his ass, it hope they did it from a 100 story building! this dude end up costing me over $60,000 , just cant get passed that and to not even pick up the phone and say sorry! clown ass dude!

    @Joe Sniffing Blow- STFU ass clown. I’m going to make you my newest sweet biatch for your punk ass comment. Joe gave props to Kanye. And a Omarion background dancer reject has a problem with it for what? And bet your studio thug ankle grabbing azz wouldn’t say some punk shiat like that to Joe’s face.

      And bet your studio thug ankle grabbing azz wouldn’t say some punk shiat like that to Joe’s face.

      Fat Joe would get his ass whooped one-on-one. Motherfucker is 300 pounds, who couldn’t beat his ass? That’s why he got boyz around him at all times. Dudes talk the most shit are the biggest pussies one-on-one.

  • Amanda D.

    Joe Belmonte, why didn’t you sue? If that fat b*tch costs me $10,000, I’d sue the sh*t outta him! lol

  • Jane

    That is the worst story. AND Kanye West is talented, but I would not pay one penny to see him or buy his CD. His attitude negates his talent and the way he acts is a huge turn off for fans.

  • http://www.ElevationAudio.com Joe Belmonte

    we did try and sue, worked on it for months, could never find him in NJ or Miami and when we did, he owned over 4 gaff corporations that were all broke with no assets! It got to the point where the lawyers didn’t see any assets to continue and wanted another $20K to proceed any further, to me and my family we looked at it like we would be throwing more money to a bad situation! It really was all bullshit! it crushed us financially and the guy never even had the heart to pick up the phone and call and say hey let me do a make up date or hey you wired me money, and bought me first class tickets , let me pay you back! Nothing at all! They will not even spin his music in our area! Its a shame i listened to his music for years and then dude ended up beatin me for thousands!

    Wow. More excuses Joe? You haven’t made a great album since 95. You are more overhyped and bs talk then ever. The get on a song with a r&b chick to make singles. You don’t take care of your own, and you can’t even pay your tax!! How are you going to be in the rap game for about 20 years make ten albums and not get your act together??
    He’s a straight clown, and doesn’t rep the bronx right. Stayed in Jersey forever now, and I think he has to sell his house just to pay off his debts. Sad how he has been on all those nationwide tours and can’t make one hot album without gimmicks, beatmaker names, and payola….
    Trying to live off beef when 50 and the unit killed him long ago.. same with Officer Ricky, and Ja Fool
