“My favorite rapper is Kanye West and when he did the singing album, I purposely didn't buy it.”

Coincidentally Fat Joe, whatever is featured on the last few albums that have been released, not many have been buying you albums either.

Maybe it's just a protest until they hear the Joey Crack they remembered…maybe???

During an interview with Ozone Magazine, the rapper spoke on wanting the rap version of Kanye West back and intentionally avoiding 808s and Heartbreak, believing that it would make West go back to rap.

“I was like, I'm protesting it man, I'm boycotting it. I ain't with that sh*t. I want the Kanye rapping about his moms, rapping about this sh*t."

With rapper's holding down sales as being representation of their product, last time everyone checked, West's singing landed him another platinum plaque, even though everyone “hated” it so much.

So even at his alleged "worst", West still was the best in the end???  Damn...

Well, The Darkside is quickly approachind so hopefully “boycotting” the past few releases from Fat Joe will pay off this time around and the rapper will be able to deliver that vintage sound that fans gravitated to him for.

There's only so many times a rapper can claim ringtone sales as being an overall success when the album is still a dud.

Bouncing back after the lackluster response to his 2009 album Jealous Ones Still Envy 2, Joey Crack is back to bring back his gritty side with the upcoming project The Darkside: Volume 1 set to drop later within the year.

The New York native already unveiled some of what is in store by teaming up with Young Jeezy for the street single “Slow Down (Ha Ha)”.

"Slow Down (Ha Ha)"

Coming back harder than ever, Joe was able to catch up with Jenny Boom Boom and give more details in regards to his new album.

"We coming with that album, The Dark Side this summer. Early June, whatever the case may be. The album is crazy -- I got this crazy joint with me and Trey Songz and we got me and [R. Kelly] after that. They hard, they hard. Basically, I don't want to say what they are on the radio but they hustler anthems...we gotta a couple more announcements to make, you gonna see the movie unfold...We're making probably the biggest move you can make in hip-hop. It's gonna be splashing news in the next two weeks...It's a movie...”

Promising magic with Trey Songz already, the rapper seems reinvigorated and ready for the next round as he has added that once people hear the album and its content, they will never want to hear Fat Joe any other way.

Well, let's just let the records speak for themselves and see what the end result is.  Wonder how many Lil Wayne features will come up this time around.
