C’est la rentrĂ©e, le soleil disparaĂźt et lâautomne pointe le bout de son nez, alors quoi de mieux qu’un classic shit sorti en 1993 qui transpire le son New Yorkais pur ?
Cette annĂ©e-lĂ , on dĂ©couvre un FAT JOE DA GANGSTA (de son premier blaze) des plus cinglant, avec un premier album : REPRESENT, le bien nommĂ© ! C’est produit par, et avec, son crew : le D.I.T.C. On notera la participation de Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Diamond D et Ă©galement des featurings de Grand Puba et Kool G Rap ! L’album est un hommage Ă NYC et Fat Joe crache son flow ciselĂ© et assume sa position de Fat Gangsta dans le Bronx. Le single Flow Joe en est un parfait exemple. Dâailleurs, le sample iconique de ce single sera repris plusieurs fois dans le rap, par le Terror Squad (autre groupe de Fat Joe) et aussi NTM dans le son â On Est Encore LĂ Iâ. Lâoriginal est de Morton Stevens – âThe Long Waitâ.
Les sons de Represent sont trĂšs Boom Bap et restent intemporels. Notons que Fat Joe fait parti du cercle, trĂšs fermĂ© Ă l’Ă©poque, des rappeurs latinos qui ont classĂ©s des hits dans les charts Ă l’instar des Beatnuts et autres Cypress Hill.
Le East Coast Shit garde ses lettres de noblesse grĂące Ă ses activistes ! Et comme dit l’intro : A Word To Da Wise !
It’s back to school time, the sun is fading, and autumn is peeking around the corner, so what better than a classic hit released in 1993 that oozes pure New York sound?
That year, we discover a FAT JOE DA GANGSTA (by his original name) who is utterly striking, with a debut album: REPRESENT, aptly named! Itâs produced by, and features, his crew: the D.I.T.C. Notably, there are contributions from Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Diamond D, as well as features from Grand Puba and Kool G Rap! The album is a tribute to NYC, and Fat Joe delivers his sharp flow, embracing his position as the Fat Gangsta from the Bronx. The single Flow Joe is a perfect example of this. Moreover, the iconic sample from this single will be reused multiple times in rap, by Terror Squad (another group of Fat Joe) and also by NTM in the track âOn Est Encore LĂ I.â The original is by Morton Stevens – âThe Long Wait.â
The tracks on Represent are very Boom Bap and remain timeless. Notably, Fat Joe was part of the very exclusive circle of Latino rappers who had hits on the charts alongside the Beatnuts and others like Cypress Hill.
East Coast Shit maintains its nobility thanks to its activists! And as the intro states: A Word To Da Wise!
