Fat Joe is looking at this all wrong. It’s best he didn’t sign Eminem. His success was because of the people that were behind him (Dre/AfterMath). I personally like Fat Joe, but let’s be realistic, who outside of Pun made noise in the TS camp? It’s not the talent- it’s what you do with it that matters!!
So true, he would held Em back from him being himself!!!
I disagree pun was who he was becuz of who he was..talented so if joe signed eminem his talent alone wouldve brought him to stardom anyways…so signing wit joe wouldnt of held him back….
