Aside from the cyphers, BET kept the Hip-Hop Awards stage occupied throughout the night. One of the highlights was the emotional tribute to Chris Lighty from Missy, Q-Tip, Fat Joe and 50 Cent.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but little can be said about Fat Joe’s new single featuring Rick Ross and Juicy J. Sorry Crack, but there aren’t enough filters to clean this up.
Fat Joe called into Philly’s Hot 107.9 to speak on his reconciliation with 50 Cent at the Hip-Hop Awards. He spoke on their Chris Lighty tribute as well as their handshake and conversation.

As if there wasn’t enough cats on the original, Joey calls up a few more favors for the remix. Purchase on iTunes now. Ashanti sounds great.
Chi Ali is a free man. And today, he joined Joey and guests, French and Weezy on the set of their new video, directed by Eif Rivera. A$AP Rocky is also on the track, but hasn’t appeared on the set yet. More photos below.
In the memory of Chris Lighty, Fat Joe pays his respects with an opening verse to Slaughterhouse’s emotional record which also includes a new verse from Joell Ortiz in tribute Hot 97 executive Chris Nadler, who also passed away recently. R.I.P. Chris Lighty. flex
It’s been a long time coming, but Fat Joe and friends finally flash across the screen for their posse cut. Directed by Hype Williams and co-starring Ashanti.
We see you too Ashanti. Video coming soon.
Busta to the rescue! During last week’s shoot, Joey gives MTV the scoop on how the track with Kanye came about. Jada also chimes in on how he contributed to the record. Video coming soon. UPDATE: Official behind the scenes.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
