Fat Joe: Tekashi 6ix9ine Figured Out a Lane, it Works For Him if He Stays Alive (Part 1)

In this clip, Fat Joe and Vlad reflected on their history, particularly their controversial "gay mafia" interview. The pair talked about hip-hop turning 45-years-old and the how Joe got a front row seat of seeing the culture mature being from the Bronx. Fat Joe also discussed his commercial success being a result of Big Pun's passing, and how early on in his career he was unapproachable.
Later in the clip, Fat Joe explains how the comparison he made between himself and Tekashi 6ix9ine.

Imagine seeing the BIRTH of hip hop. Right from where it started in your neighbourhood. Hip Hop has by far been the biggest drug in the world, we all got addicted to the culture. That diamond necklace is fire too. That always does more for me that a hundred chains on the neck.

[@brolicbro771]

Khalid Mxsic my albanian cousins witnessed the birth of hip hop. im so proud that some of my relatives with the same bloodline as me witnessed it. unfortunately my cousin got caught up in crime. he told me if he knew that hip hop would have become this big, he would have done something with hip hop to get money. he did over 20 years in prison. his nickname was new york. the whole underworld of the bronx knows about him, fat joe and busta rhymes too.

[@ramp622]

I really didnt like when 50 cent went at fat joe. Fat joe always been cool and chill as hell to me. Always trying to drop knowledge and help out the youth to make better decisions. I guess 50 cent went at fat joe because he was coming to the aid of ja rule. And he was like calleteral damage.

[@ramp622]

@vcorr2288 Yeah it just hurt him having a big artist like 50 go against him, the fans side with the bigger artist usually.

[@polorican5023]

50 is in love with ja rule and Diddy

[@trife9602]

50 didn't do a damn thing to Jadakiss and Fat Joe and for that matter Ja Rule. Eminem and Dr. Dre did that and also the situation at murder Inc records.

[@ocheadeka110]

I am not just going to trash 69 but he’s a mockery of what a musician is. First of all I have issue with this guy using a racial epithet all the time. Secondly he’s been involved with a court case that involves underage sex with a minor. How did this become the norm.
