The Elephant In The Room ***1/2
Before I get into the actual songs lets quickly outline the concept of this album, The Elephant In The Room, is an image of a huge reality that everyone ignores out of convenience; rather than admit it’s there and be forced to deal with the elephant in the living room. This is the argument that Fat Joe is trying to make with this album, he has put out great material and albums in the past but everyone ignores him as if he has not contributed to the rap game. The best track of the album features KRS-One Joe; actually makes the claim he’s the G.O.A.T.greatest of all time and is promptly corrected by KRS.

If Fat Joe was not on your top ten list before this album he will not be after it, this album did not help his status any; it did not contribute to his status nor did it detract to it. Do not confuse this for a diss, this is not a bad album it’s just not a great one. Joe’s strength has always been in his ability to describe scenes and situations. It seems that he’s either ran out of things to describe or that he has lost interest in that style of hip-hop, on tracks like "K.A.R" and "My Conscience" you see what this entire album could have been.

Now to cover the two questions most casual fans will have about the album, does he respond to attacks made by his rivals and how is the Lil Wayne collaboration? To answer the first, yes and no, while he never dedicates a track to someone like 50 or Remy Ma he does take subliminal shots at a few of them, for example on the track Crack House "Convicts in my plane when we roll up/ and they hustle ye not Vitamin wata" is an example of the indirect responses he has for his enemies. Speaking of crack house featuring Lil Wayne, I must say it’s a disappointment and not just because Wayne only does the hook. The song Crack House struggles to be anything worth noting, it seems to be just random thoughts combined with mediocre punch lines, it leaves me wondering what the goal was for this song; as a club song its doesn’t have the lasting appeal of "Make It Rain" and a song about crack isn’t as radio friendly as "Lean Back", and it really leaves you with the question of why they didn’t re-record this.

The Beef Goes On.....

After his first week flop (a little over 50, 000 units sold) Fat Joe has decided to release a mixtape dissing 50 Cent and G-Unit. The mixtape will be titled "Gay Unit Vol. 1" and will feature mixtape rookie Suge White with Joe playing the host. This mixtape is in direct responds to the G-Unit mixtape "Elephant in The Sand", which had over 700,000 downloads according to Thisis50.com.

50 Cent held a faux funeral for Fat Joe's career after seeing the new soundscan numbers.



Am I the only one wondering who the hell Suge White is?
