Video Premiere: Fat Joe ft. Benisour-Cup Cakes

Here is the new video from Fat Joe featuring Benisour for Joe's song "Cup Cakes" off of his album J.O.S.E. 2.



I really am glad to see Joe get back up and come out with an album despite the whole 50 Cent fiasco that went down not too long ago. In this video, Joe is showing his gangster side and is making me hungry even though the song has nothing to do with actual cupcakes...now I want a cupcake.

Album Covers: Fat Joe-J.O.S.E. 2

Check out the album cover for Fat Joe's album J.O.S.E. 2 (Jealous One's Still Envy 2); it's different. Rappers love it when their diamond studs hang.

Joe says new single "One" was inspired by his wife

Every now and again you hear rappers mention their significant others in passing. Some of us don't even know that a lot of the rappers we see today are married with kids. For example, I was absolutely baffled to learn that T-Pain was married and it surprised me when I found out that Ice Cube was married some time back.

Joe is one of the rappers that could careless about groupie love and more about his wife. Joe, who is gearing up to release his album J.O.S.E. 2 spoke about his new single "One" that was inspired by his wife and the key to having a successful marriage.

"One" is all about finding that special soul mate, and Joe said he looked to his happy marriage for inspiration.... It's inspired by life a lot. As I listen to it, I think about the relationship with my wife and how we came a long way. At the same time, it's every body's life. It's the working man's life. It's related to everybody. Everybody feels that way. We all want somebody."

On the key to a lasting marriage,

"A lot of work. Anybody who's successful a long number of years, it took a lot of work, perseverance to not quit, to not give up on each other and say, 'Yo, we love each other. We're going to be together forever.' Everybody that gets married hopes to be in love and be together forever, but you gotta work. It's real work. It's great, though."

It is always refreshing to hear a rapper talk about his love for his wife, much respect.

Joe feels that his new album will allow fans and non-fans to get more insight into his style and sound and that it will finally earn him the respect that he feels is overdue.

The reason why Joe hasn't gotten the respect he deserves is because Joe is known to put out hot singles but the rest of the songs on the album could be better. A lot of artists spend days even weeks on conjuring the ingredients for a hot single and less time on perfecting their albums, big no no and a set up for failure.

Also, releasing just 1 single off of the album and expecting the album to go platinum in one week is unrealistic. Take T.I. for example, he had like 3 singles on heavy rotation on the radio before the album even dropped.

Singles do not make you an amazing artist, albums do; and if fans can not listen to your album from track one to the very last track on the album they are not going to be fans for long.

The album is said to have features from T-Pain, Lil Kim, and Lil Wayne.

J.O.S.E. 2 (Jealous One's Still Envy 2) is due in stores May 19th.

Video Premiere: Fat Joe ft. Akon- One

Joey crack is back! Here is the new video from Fat Joe for his song "One" featuring Akon off of Joe's album Jealous One's Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2)

The song is hot. It has a nice little lovers ring to it and it's a relief from the I-got-all-this-money-you-wish-you-had songs.

It just seems like all of the rappers who careers 50 claimed to have ended, are just reemerging one by one. I don't know fif, maybe you losing just a little bit of that mojo. We'll see.

Video Rating: A yummy B.

Side Order: Speaking of 50, Can you believe that he released Rick's daughter's mother sex tape?! Too much....
