[edit] POV Discussion
Wait I heard Fat Joe was dead, is this true?
[edit] Neutrality
The article was definitely written/edited by a Fat Joe fan, despite the fact that it tries to maintain the illusion of neutrality. Please get someone without a racial bias, who understands Hip Hop culture and isn't a Fat Joe fan re-work this article.

[edit] Slang
This article has wayyyy too much urban slang in it. CTRL+F for "hot track" to see what I mean. It really needs to be cleaned up, honestly. --24.115.207.251 22:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I've helped clean it up and feel it is accessible now. - User:Mrblondnyc
[edit] problems with the summary
The initial part of this article (which should be a summary), is rather an introduction to the history of fat joe's career, only to be continued under 'HISTORY'. This needs to be changed. The history also skims over his first two albums, Jealous Ones Envy and Don Cartegena. Someone who is familiar with Joe should expand on these areas.
Also, Big Pun was not a member of D.I.T.C.
It is barely readable - the first sentence doesnt make any grammatical sense
"After Joe's rap protege, the similarly large, Puerto Rican, Bronx-based rapper, Big Pun, broke into the mainstream with his duet with the O'Jays, "I'm Not a Player" and its more popular remix, "Still Not a Player", featuring R&B singer Joe, Fat Joe began to follow suit."
[edit] Fall Back
Fall the freak back, fix yourself an account and fix this problem yourself. - 3:24 PM Tuesday, August 24, 2006
[edit] Trivia Section
I seriously doubt the material under "trivia" is authentic. It should be deleted, IMHO.
[edit] Don Cartagena certifed "bologna"???
Don't worry, I'll change it.
[edit] Flops
When it says flop does it mean it didnt sell well at all or does it mean something else since i never seen the RIAA give that to any other album
his crap ass albums flopped like shit
[edit] Error in the Coding
In the box just before his biography, it says "This fatass retard was born in The Bronx of Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage, Joe was popular in the New York-underground hip hop scene during the early and mid-1990s. He was also a member of the D.I.T.C. Crew ("Diggin' in the Crates"), along with well-respected rappers/producers Showbiz and A.G., Buckwild, O.C., Diamond D, Big L and Lord Finesse, and was featured on early records by various members." I can't seem to find it in the code. Someone needs to edit this by moving it to the correct place and removing "fatass retard" for obvious reasons.
is his death for real? because i cant find anything saying this though it might still be early.
[edit] BAD ARTICLE
Biased, unfounded, too many opinions... delete it until a better one comes up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.255.202.119 (talk) 17:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC).
