Fat Joe The Darkside Listening Session
At a listening session yesterday evening, Joey debuted the sounds of his new album, The Darkside. Planet Ill were present and broke down a few of the tracks after the jump. Sounds like Crack could be a man of his word.
“Welcome to the Darkside” (Scram Jones) features a few clever lines and hard production. Ends with “We gone throw the biggest party when Curtis die.” Draw your own conclusion.
Just Blaze gave Joe an immense, bottomless beat for “I Am Crack” and Joe delivers one of the all time gully songs speaking as the drug itself. “It’s Crack, baby minus the incubator.” Sick.
The “Kilo is 1000 grams” sample first flipped by Ghost is somersaulted by DJ Infamous on “Kilo” which features The Clipse and Cam’ron. Very, very ugly. Infamous bodies “Rappers Are In Danger” as well.
Scoop DeVille wrecks a Flash Gordon sample like his momma is in a basement with Bin Laden on the titanic “You Don’t Want No Problems”. You have to hear it to believe it. “Weezy On the Island where a Day feel Like A Milli”. More sickness.
R. Kelly drops by on “How Did We Get Here” returning to his more soulful delivery.
DJ Premier-produced “I’m Gone” closes the album. It was produced the day Guru died and is triumphantly somber with punctuating piano but an immensely chunky string and hard drum create the perfect storm of malevolent sorrow.
Nobody cares.
he’s got no classic albums. guys around as long as him at least have one.

Fat Joe is actually not so bad, if he would jump off 50’s dick, he could make some good shit.
Joe got a better ghost writer. *yawn*
Yeah, that YN Blackout is a little lame this time.
Fat Joe sucks. He has for a while. I’m really beginning to think YN is the only fan this guy has left smh how many bricks does dude have to catch before someone says enough is enough?
fat joe is such a tool
Last nite green lantern was sayin the album was incredible.. I cant wait to hear it,so i can judge for myself no bias no bullshit..
fat joe is some shit. every album he drop have one or two “hot” singles, then the shit flops. his best song was lean back! the darkside would not be a fucking classic, who gonna buy his album?????????????????????

Prediction : 20K first week! Nothing more! YOU DONE HAHA!!!
Curtis gonna have a BLAST when he’ll see your first week #’s son
Why are there so many morons on here talkin about 50, do you people ever think about anything but 50. Your on here complainin that Joe can’t quit talkin about him, but yet your on here talkin bout Joe and 50??? Who cares bout 50 anymore. The funny thing is Joe may never sell as many CD’s, but he’s been in the rap game and been respected in the rap game for over 17 years…
I’m not even a fan of Joe’s, but it just seems retarded to come on here and talk trash before you have even heard the CD. I have only heard the joint he had with Jeezy for this CD and it was a banger, so i guess we will see
SOUNDS DOPE
“Game over hang it up like some crank calls, you think you fucking with ANYBODY, you outta your damn skull”
This will be a classic. Im copin The DarkSide!! Joe keepin doin the damn thing homie!!
Ears are open, but joe and dj khaled have that boy that cried wolf quality about them…
I gotta hear it first. I’m all Bout lyrics and thAt’s where Joe lacks but it sounds dope.
nigga joey that nigga calls his shit the dark side but he blows so much the illuminati wont even take him
