Release Notes:
After his massive 2004 hit "Lean Back" with his crew Terror Squad, Fat Joe
returned with the full-length All or Nothing. The 2005 album stiffed, and haters
egged on by Joe's rival, 50 Cent, let their venom roll across message boards.
For them, the very gangsta and sorta indie Me, Myself and I is the desperate
result of meager sales and the last gasp of Joe's career. Listen to it
objectively, and it's anything but. Fat Joe's had a problem with the full-length
for quite some time, and his best efforts were blunted by concessions to the
radio and by collaborations that didn't fit. Recorded on his own and then
released in cooperation with EMI, the incredibly focused Me, Myself and I breaks
the chain by going back to the scrappy street days of his early hit, "Flow Joe,"
while reaping the benefits of his relationship with his Terror Squad brother DJ
Khaled. While Fat Joe takes the executive producer credit, he follows Khaled's
model of blending of New York's dirty street noise with Miami's trunk-rumbling
thunder while putting one of the DJ's favorites, Lil Wayne, on the very short
guest list. Joe and Wayne's excellent leadoff single, "Make It Rain" -- produced
by extended family member Scott Storch -- is the perfect calling card for the
album, since kicking beats with steal-toed boots and lean hooks is all you're
going to get here. Storch works his minimal magic once again on "Think About
It," leaving Joe plenty of room to work his simple and entirely effective
chorus. Same goes for "Breathe and Stop," with producer Nu Jerzey Devil looping
a short bit of Bob Marley's "War" under Joe and the Game's seriously infectious
swagger. The Game and Lil Wayne are huge names in 2006, but that's it for
guests, and it soon becomes obvious that just like the skeletal musical
landscapes, this choice was made to make sure the man whose name is on the cover
owns the album. With the spotlight so decidedly on himself, Joe comes off as a
commanding veteran with a rare taste of freedom. Free of pop collaborations that
push him to the side, Joe, who often is given the job of providing the vocal
hook, indulges himself with the lyrics and freely goes from internal to external
with a freestyler's heart. Right from the start, he name-checks his heroes Big
Pun and Biggie on the opening "Pandemic," then powerfully boasts and brags
before making an ungraceful transition to political commentary. Nothing on this
album is graceful, and even at a tight 12 tracks, the relentless quest to get
back to his hood roots will wear on the casual fan. On the other hand, hearing
this high-profile thug so boldly reclaiming his street cred without any
concessions is exciting and makes it easy to shrug off this driven full-length's
one-track mind.
Props to the other group for putting the regular edition out, now here's a
Japanese only exclusive remix of Make It Rain. This is tagged 2007 since the
bottom left-hand corner of the obi-strip is dated 2007-01-15.
