Early Life
Joseph Antonio Cartagena is Joe's real name. He was born in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York City on August 19, 1970. Cartagena's people are from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Cartagena was drawn to a life of crime at a young age because he grew up in a rough, poor neighborhood. He said that he was a "bully" in school and that he often stole to help support his family. When Joseph was young, his brother showed him what he really loved in life: Hip-Hop music.
Career:
In 1992, Cartagena changed his stage name to "Fat Joe da Gangster" and joined the Diggin' in the Crates Crew (D.I.T.C). During this time, he worked with a lot of different artists and made important links that he later used to build his record label. He was first signed to Relativity Records, and his first record came out in 1993.
Fat Joe first record by himself was called "Represent," and it had the hit song "Flow Joe." The song went to the top of the Rap Charts and gave Fat Joe a great start to his music career. Jealous One's Envy, his second record, came out the next year, in 1995. The song "Envy" did well on the charts, which made Fat Joe's success even stronger. Things went a step further when he ran into LL Cool J at the recording studio. He was asked to sing the song "I Shot Ya," and later he was in the music video for the song.
During this time, Fat Joe also began working with Big Pun, whom he found on his own. Fat Joe's third record, Don Cartegena, came out in 1998. Nas, Diddy, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were some of the artists who worked with him on it. The song with the same name became a big hit, as did "Bet Ya Man Can't Triz." This album was also used to promote Fat Joe's new group, Terror Squad, which included Big Pun, Cuban Link, Prospect, and others. Fat Joe's new record label was also called Terror Squad, and he pushed several artists under this name.
To Get More Celeb Updates
On his fourth album, Jealous One's Still Envy, Fat Joe worked with more well-known artists. Irv Gotti was in charge of making the record, and artists like Ashanti, Ja Rule, and Ludacris were on it. Even though "We Thuggin'" was a big hit from the album, it was totally overshadowed by "What's Luv." This song may have been Fat Joe's most popular one ever. It had Ashanti and Ja Rule on it, and it has become one of the most popular and memorable songs from the early 2000s. All of this led to a level of success that Fat Joe would never reach again, not even with his Loyalty record in 2002. In the end, Jealous Ones Still Envy was certified platinum.
50 Cent Feud
True Story, the band's last record, came out in 2004. The hit song "Lean Back," which was made with Remy Ma, was on the record. The song stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks, making it one of Fat Joe's most popular songs ever. In 2005, Fat Joe and 50 Cent began their well-known fight. All of it started with Ja Rule. 50 Cent had criticized Fat Joe for working with the rapper, so that's where it all began. Fat Joe's sixth record, All or Nothing, has a track that is a response to the diss track. Some of the other acts on the album were R. Kelly, Eminem, and Remy Ma.
His fight with 50 Cent got worse, and Fat Joe called 50 Cent a wimp and said he didn't have street cred. At the MTV Video Music Awards in 2005, things got out of hand when 50 Cent was insulted by Fat Joe on stage, which made 50 Cent jump on stage and yells bad words. An ad break came up quickly during the awards show.
Then, Lil Wayne and Fat Joe worked together on Lil Wayne's seventh record, Me, Myself, and I. This led to the Grammy-nominated hit song "Make It Rain." During this time, 50 Cent and Fat Joe kept fighting with each other. 50 Cent made fun of Fat Joe's new record, The Elephant in the Room. He said that his mixtape sold more copies and that he "ended" Fat Joe's career all by himself.
Fat Joe continued to work with a wide range of acts over the next few years, putting out albums like J.O.S.E. 2 and The Darkside Vol. 1. Fat Joe said that he would release two more Darkside mixtapes and then quit after he signed a new record deal with E1 Music. Over the next few years, Fat Joe worked with other singers like Cool and Dre, Ludacris, ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, and French Montana to make more music.
