This week on The Limits, Jay chops it up with Fat Joe: the Grammy-nominated rapper, entrepreneur, and legendary storyteller.
Growing up in the Bronx, Fat Joe witnessed the birth of hip hop, then made hip hop history himself. Over three decades in the game, he's put out 13 albums, started his own record label, and mentored other great MCs like the late Big Pun. He's also faced multiple bankruptcies and battled depression, which he's open about: he wants people to learn from his successes and his failures.
Now, Fat Joe has reinvented himself as a media personality, hosting The Fat Joe Show and the BET Hip Hop Awards, and writing a memoir, The Book of Jose. In this funny and frank interview, Joe pays tribute to hip hop's Latino pioneers, shares his philosophy on family, and explains how he stays connected to the community that protected him as a troubled kid.
