Joe and Jada - Eladio Carrión on new album ‘Corsa,’ Puerto Rico, Latin rap & reggaeton’s American crossover, Boots Ennis vs. Xander Zayasa

Episode Date: July 7, 2026

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by Latin Grammy winner Eladio Carrión, one of the hottest artists in the Latin trap and reggaeton world. Eladio tells Joe and Jada about how American get boxed into specific genres more than Latin artists, walking in Xander Zayas while Jada walked in Boots Ennis for their headlining boxing match, coming up in the game with Bad Bunny and Rauw Alejandro, his “Mbappe” collaboration with Future, and why his professional swimming career wasn’t the best idea for his bank account. Also, they have an insightful conversation on what constitutes a hit, Joe explains why he would have never made “Lean Back” if it weren’t for Missy Elliot, and the room cracks up as Joe misremembers who he lost to at the Grammys. Joe and Jada is now STREAMING ON NETFLIX! Merch is here! https://joeandjadashow.com/ All lines provided by Hard Rock BetSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Those are the key words. When you think of today's guests, you think of a crossover problem, somebody who took that Latin trap lane and turned it into a highway. I think Kansas City roots, Puerto Rican hushel, punchlines in two languages.

Listen to that slow. Punchlines in two languages. A catalog, heavy enough to talk back to whoever. You know what I mean? You think multi-platinum plates. Latin Grammy weight and the flow so cold

to make your favorite rapper bundle up ladies and gentlemen give it up y'all got to see me, y'all. Y'all got to see me y'all. Hey, I'm gonna need a cut down use that for an intro or something. Y'all got some.

A, beau. Appreciate you, my brother. You know, welcome to the show, my brother. You start to do that. Appreciate that. How are you guys doing? Shit, normally I just get to the case, but the shoes you got on, right?

I'm trying to figure out. You wear that on a regular, like, you cool with shoes? I got my days for me, me, to be honest, I'm a very, I'm a very, I'm a very being in my house, chancletas, you know.

Chancletta, because I see you with the, with the tacos. I'm like, yo, this nigga, you just diddy bopped down the street with the tacos on. I'm like, I wear shoes.

under arrest, nigga, like if I'm locked up or... I gotta go to like an award shit or something. Church, you know, you're just chilling. I got it's uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's comfortable.

It's comfortable, too. Yo, Jada, you got sneakers on. I'm just saying, I'm at... I'm just trying to ask. To be honest, if I'm not wearing all these shoes, I'm always new balance stuff. That's 100%. Like every day, every day.

All right. I saw that. I saw you get big money with new balance. No, it's just that I love, too. You know, it's just... That's comfortable. It's comfortable. Yeah, it's comfortable.

It's comfortable. It's great. You know, it's time for my sneaker to come out. I think it's time for me to call. We've been on hold. So I think now I'm going to make the call and be like, yo, we got to drop that T.S. The red joint.

You know, we have always one nice moment. I think it's time. I think stop front. Give it to the people. Give it to them. Come on. I have always been very, very impressed by your skills. by your flows, you never do the same shit twice.

I appreciate. Your collaborations. Tell us about your upbringing. How'd you get into Latin rap? Do you consider a reggaetonero or Latin rap? Same shit? If we go by the, like, you know, technically, I don't do that many of sagittons.

Because to me, you're more like a rapper. Yeah, yeah. So you're like a Latin rapper. But like, more than just... The thing in, like, you know, Latino, like, on our side, I think, like, in the thing, like, American music, you guys get boxed in. Like, if he's a rapper, he can't do a dance hard every life.

Like, it's the very... Us, we have to do everything. Like, we have to do dance hall, Afro beat. We got to do trap. We got to do rap. We got to, like, it's, like, the fans are more open to hear what you have to offer, like, another app market.

Man, I'm very impressed by your music, brother. Appreciate it. You know, you know what you're... That was a great analogy. That was a great analogy, right? Yeah. But you know what's crazy? First of all, Joe and Jada

the number one show in the game. Come on, come on. And I don't give a fuck where you are. I'm home. I took the night off, right? First of all, I ain't want my wife to feel like I'm doing too much because it's San Jose. We were saying, San Jose.

Yeah. And then I get back, and I know the fight is on. So I'm like, man, should I pull up on? the fight. Like, you know, I might be doing too much. So I didn't want to get beef in the crib. I just do it on the movie theater. It chose peace. And I seen you

walking in Xander, the body, man, he's a tough guy. And then you're walking in boots. So every time I see you at some shit like that or I'm there, I feel like Joe and Jay does represent it. I don't know if I'm delusional about that. But when I see it,

I said, Dan, they can't escape us for nothing. This motherfucker. Or you, well, you walked in Zander, he walking boots. How do you know boots? And you could tell me how you know Zanda. I don't know. They reached out to me, and you just knew he was dead. Shout out to my man Harry, yo.

I always knew. I got an artist that's from his same part of Philly, Germant. My man, love time. I'm from Germany. You seen that shit. You know Philly is, you seen the comments? Because y'all like to look at comments, right? Oh, the old Philly.

Nah, that nigger's from here. He's on the block. over here. Don't play with me. You know what I'm saying? How do you know Xander like that? Man, I've known Zanda for a while, man. I've seen him, you know, grow as a fighter. You know, that's my brother. You know, every time I get a chance to walk out with them or see him fight live,

my goal, man. I love witnessing my friends doing amazing things. You know what I'm saying? Being boxing, being baseball, being basketball. It reminds me a T-Doh. He's a blessing. He ain't scared of nobody. No, he's a dog, boy, he's a dog. He's a young fighter. He has his whole career ahead of him. He didn't see the dog, boy.

The dog. He swagged out. He come in there on that bullshit. But, you know, he had, you know, he didn't have to fight that fight. You know, I guess he got the experience. As a true guy has ducked a horn. I think I would have ran away from the guy. I think I wouldn't have ducked them a little bit more.

I would have been like, nah, no, nah, not, not, let me go another weight class or something. Because the guy, the guy boots, guys like boots, they can't even get fights. They're so good. And people, like, you know, people was avoiding Pernel Whiteman. man, I think the sport needed that fight, too. It was an amazing fight. It was amazing. It was a great fight.

It was a good fight. It was a good fight of a year. If it would last a little bit long, it would have been a fight of a year, you know? Yeah, they got busy. They got busy. They got busy. They got busy.

They were really great. But both you guys had all people, and I said, oh, shit, Monday. I saw Jayden when I walked in the, what's it called the backstage. I said, oh, snap, we want to go to do the show on Monday. And I said, what's what? What's up?

Nah, that's hot, man. And, man, you nasty. My upbringing, right? I'm about my upbringing. Oh, yeah, I want to know. How do you get into Latin rap? Who was some of your inspirations? So, yeah.

Spanish and it, because you definitely got English inspirations. Yeah, 100%. Because all you do is rap in Spanish, but your flows and everything. And what you talk about is really English rap shit. Yes, I was raised in the States, man. I got to Puerto Rico. I was like 10. My dad was in the military.

Like, I moved around. My whole family from New York, my parents from my grandma lived in everywhere. My grandma was in Red Hook. I got cousins. I got like 100 cousins over here. I got 12 uncles and aunts. But I moved down as a kid. I didn't know Spanish until I was like 10.

You know, there was time here or something there, but my dad retired from the Army. So like, he didn't have to do anything in the States anymore. He wanted to go back home. So I started with Puerto Rico, learn Spanish, you know, watching Hobelize, speaking, you know. God, no, man. Over there, one thing that's a default of Puerto Rico for the most part is it's America, but they don't speak English over there like they should. Oh, but you know, but not now. They're starting?

Yeah, yeah, all the schools, you know, like, it's not like before. Before it was like, I'd be like, yo, you don't. And you got a lot of, like, American people fighting in Puerto Rico, buy houses with her. So, you're like, you know, all the restaurants, establishments, you know, they require. you'd be by lingua now too. I'm certainly like when the reggae tone shit started. They offered me the biggest bag in the world,

Atlantic Records, for me to make a reggae tone album. I was trying to tell them I don't speak Spanish like that. So my shit is going to sound whack. It's just no way around it. It wasn't like I didn't want to do it. I don't know with the right producer at the moment. If you're going with Lunguiland Tunes,

tiny something like that. I knew the Lany Tunes and all on, but still my flow, My shit wouldn't have been, it wouldn't have been, it wouldn't. I think you would have made some shit. You could have made something shake. Annette. Yeah.

Yeah. You could have been like the, you'd have been like the, you rap right at the end of the day, man. Like in Shagetton, I know a lot of rappers that they would do, they would wrap on top of, like a rap beats. And then they would just switch the beat out to reggaeton after. Yeah. That's what you see. Like these days, Marianto, you know, rap. It would be half reggaeton and half rap.

Don't not explain it too much because you're giving me ideas right now, my nigga. Like, stop. I'm already thinking like, oh, shit, I'm going to pull off a reggae too. You used to a lot of, you know, those after the father bees, a lot of times it would be half rap and half reggaeton. I used to be with Hector their father. Yeah, beast.

Before he was in church and all that. The man, the man had the crew out there. Real deal. And then went into the, he became a pastor. Yeah. So now he goes to jails and everything. And shout out to her father. I haven't seen him in a year.

I used to hang out with him in a point. He does not for the community now. At the prime. Like when they're like. That's the, that's one of my favorite rappers. She's, I went to Daegos wedding. I went to Daegos wedding.

And Daegos more like, well, Dego's the black. Yeah, like, he's from the black hood out there. You know, there's a whole black hood out there. Yeah, yeah. His son is named Harlem or some shit. Yeah, well, he was the Afro-Lah.

He was the first Afro-Latino, I think, who accepted it and said, y'all, an Afro-Latino. It was crazy because, like, if you consider the age, he started popping off, like, he, it wasn't at 24, 26. He was 30, like, high, you feel me? He was older. You want to know, that's crazy. I didn't notice that.

You already know when it's a real moment, You need a real bottle. That's why we rock with 1800 tequila. You heard me? These people been making tequila for 11 generations. That's right, 11. That's a legacy. That's OG status.

OJ. They were the first to introduce a nejo set the standard before most of these brands even existed. And you could taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristolino and Repasado was what we've been on lately. Move, clean. Elevate. No burn, no rough edges, just a premium poor that speaks for itself. You know when there's something that's just built right? That's what this is.

Real talk, that's just what it is. It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations, to remember that night's story. Whether you're keeping it low-key with the crew or you're pulling up to a big event, 1800 fits every setting. It ain't trying too hard. It's just that. 1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth, that's the move. True, true, true. One. Hip-hop was such a young sport, right? Like I'm watching the BET Awards and I see Nas come out.

If you listen to them lyrics and Nas was 22, 24 years old, the shit he was spitting on it, I rule the world. Like the youth, they really had something insane. You know, that's why I love the song you got with Zane. in the video. It's encouraging the kids, letting them know if you could dream about it as possible. Tell us about that and why it was important to you

to do like a motivational song like that. All right. So me, I'm very conscious that I got, you know, I got my song, my ignorant music, that it's just, you know, I do it thinking about the shows. My shows be like there's full-blown mash pits. It's very, like, very high energy. So I strategically do these songs.

prepared like Mbapé de Guadro Roli, do it happen. It's not saying it in that song. It's just a hype song It's a turn-knit. But me as an artist, you know, I do feel the responsibility, you know, to go dig a little bit deeper, you know.

You know, I got kids listening. I got people who don't want to be jumping in hospice who really want to sit down or they're driving to work trying to be going into 9 to 5. Like, what could I report to help them, you know, getting a better move to, you know, go to work.

What could I record to make this baseball player want to put this song in as, you know, is that bad? What can I do, like, to make these athletes, you know, get in the zone? Because I was like swimming. Like, I used music to, you know, to get into that, you know, that zone. And that's what I think about how I do music a lot of time. So I got songs like gladiador Guerrero. I think that's when I started popping off my music.

When I dropped a solo mixtape, it was just straight. progress music, you know, motivational music. And, like, there was a space in the genre and that music that people really didn't open up like that. So when I started doing that, like, it created this crazy, you know, cult fan-based.

People wanted to listen to music for other reasons, you know. I still do my ignorant shit, you know. I'm talking about my ignorant shit, but, like... Who else come up with... How long you've been signed, putting out music professionally? And who else was that batch that batch that came around the time?

time you was coming, that class. My class is the class Benito, Bad, Prao Alejandro. Who? Clow, Palo Alejandro. Oh, man, he was rocking, too. Yeah, I know.

The thing is, it's cool to see all them cats, like, going crazy because Benito, they get him a lot of shit. He does like this. He does like this. A nigga is a superhero. Let me tell you some. This guy. This guy, boom, boom, pop.

Yo, listen, this guy, bad money. Let me tell you something, because it was, and there's no disrespect. to nobody because I love everybody. But it was, at that point it was a battle of Anuel Osuna, Jay Balvin,

everybody was putting out hits. I don't know what the fuck Bad Bunny did that made him a fucking Batman or some shit. That nigga threw the sign up on top of that building and that, no, they all had hits. They all were throwing on platinum shit. Everybody was big.

And that nigga just took off like a superhero. I don't... You know what helps a lot with him? Like, he can literally be in a studio solo and come out with the album. He produces all his first shit. He produces all your show. Oh, you mean his own beats? Yeah, like the dealers are all that he did those beats.

Like, you know, like... Wow. Yeah, he's like, musically, he's nice. And that's probably the big reason. His team is amazing. It's just really, really talented. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We having a debate last night.

We're going to dinner with a couple of friends. and they debating fuck it, Jay-Z. No, no, no. Slow my partner, right? They debating Jay-Z or Drake. And, you know, my man is like, yo, Drake been doing this for 20 years straight.

It's still got young kids. Love it. Hove come out with something. The older guys are going to love it. But what about the youth? It's a good debate. But it's hard to keep, you know, once you get this to a certain level

to keep on delivering. And beneath those plays, you know, what else could they do? Can I was in the Saucson joint and just went, boom, came to Puerto Rican and made that sound commercial. Like, constantly raising the bar is difficult at that level, you know. So that's very, that's hard. I wouldn't say just raising the bar. Raising the bar is something you got to do. So like him, he got this classics on.

Why? When he did that, that was to be Jada was raising the bar. I think the thing you hit on first was actually right. Right, because Rick Ross, I could have signed Rick Ross. DJ Callow was begging, yo, sign him, sign him, sign him, sign him, sign him when he had hustling, right? I honestly didn't think Rick Ross was going to have a long career because that was like, at the time, that sound was like what was going on at the time. I didn't think you think I thought Rick Ross was going to have 10 albums, one of the greatest rappers of all time. This is a hell, though.

It happens. And so you got to respect, guys. With me, with the artist, artists might come out with one hit, two hits, right? And then I'm just like, and then when they come out again and they come out with another hit,

another hit, and then they come out with another hit. You don't see that lot today. You don't see a lot. I'm like, they're trying to stay. Yeah. This ain't, this ain't. It's stop, my nigga. These motherfuckers want that long.

Who would you think has that, that juice, like nowadays and like modern rappers and, like, you know, a hip-hop right now. You asked me a funny question because I don't really know about you like that. Here in five years is still going to be. Drake is still going to be on fire.

Not, but not, apart from Drake. You don't want to him. He did his bed already, like the new, new cats. Coming up, I can't really, honestly tell you right now. Don. Who? Don't Tolliver.

I think he does really good at home. Grand Fires is fired. Like, if we're going that way. I really. I ranked artists. Is that crazy? You asked me a question and we can't even answer.

Could you answer it, kiss? Like, who's a young nigga that's gonna be on five? I base my journey on off of albums. Like, when I hear like my artist really like digging into albums and doing like good jobs.

I'm asking you a question. Why are you looking at me like I'm trying to? Listen it to it. We got to be able to say, Don's Jay Z, Y, Z, M&M. Right now we don't have that type of

selection or maybe I'm just old I don't know who the hottest young and why would you think why is the reason why can't you name other rappers they need to put quality out like you are absolutely right right now my money's on the old guys

my money's on me my money's on him my money's on French Montana my money's on TI his album is really hot and for some reason everybody step back they let the youth run with it

for like 10 years or whatever and then they're like okay these motherfuckers don't want to deliver classics then we got to come back out and deliver classes. But you think sometimes, maybe, I think sometimes, like, you know, the media puts out so much information that you think that's the only information that's out there.

And then you're like, let me back down before. I start, you know, but maybe that's not what's really happening. You feel me? Like, oh, this is the most hard, like popping hours right now, but maybe it's not happening. Maybe you're doing better. Like, you know, I feel like, you know, the media really, like, you know, you know what I do is.

You know what I do is I go off the energy. Right? So let me tell you, what's a hit? What do you think a hit is? I think a hit is something that you can see visibly in shows. That's the one thing you can't fake. You can't pay someone to go to your show. You can't even, I know people, I know people, artists that I wouldn't go to their shows even if they paid, you, feel me?

What do you think is a hit? Undeniable. When you hear it, it makes something. Something that you just know when you hear it, you feel it? I narrowed it down to a feeling. A feeling. That's what I just said. So if you, right now they play that, spend that shit, you're like, oh, shit, that's that shit.

Or if you heard Lean Back when it first came out, pan, pan, pan, and made you feel like a hit is actually a feeling. It's not just this style of music or this success, is if that record, if you feel like playing that shit over and over again, then that, that makes it a hit. Right? Yeah. But you know what's crazy too?

I think it was for y'all because like producing wise there's a lot of stuff that y'all did for the first time. So like when it's hard to now, we're just like recycling stuff that's already, it's very hard to really for producing stuff.

I don't want to do like new, new, new shit when like y'all've done so much or you, if you feel me? Yeah. Today's show is brought to you, by our friends and our presenting sponsor Hard Rock Bet, Florida Sportsbook. The world's biggest soccer tournament is here. You see the ratings?

Sweet 305 with Lele Pons as part of my Coultera podcast network on the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcast

or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, an artist that I really studied I would have never leaned back

if it wasn't from Missy right? Yeah. I studied them because you like, is that your bitch

when it and then, and then, is that your bitch? Is that your bitch when it and then and then what? And I was like noticing because when I was coming up, I don't know if he knew,

but when I was coming up, I was figuring it out. So, you know, my first song was called Flojo. But I didn't know I already had the hit formula, but I hit it by mistake. So it's like, you got a flow, Joe, you got a guy, you got to flow, Joe. So it's the repetitiveness. So with Lean Back, I purposely, when I was making that hook, I said, lean back. lean back, lean back because I said, all right, I'm going to say,

make it rain, make it rain, make it rain so that you can, I didn't know that coming up in the game. But I learned that for Missy, because Missy would always make hooks like that that people could sing a little kid to sing or whatever.

She always reinvented herself. We beat y'all to a lot of shit because we heard Eminem for the first time. Hi, my name is. Niggas was like, y'all. Like, what don't, fuck is that? That shit was like the aliens came down,

like Wimby and shit. Or, you know, him, Jay, you know, it was nothing like him and the Lox when they were young, you know, the Lox, you did da da da da,

that. Like, it was like, that shit was, so we got the experience a lot of things firsthand. And the music, I think people feel for music more because it was way more,

Oh, the last thing that. He did show that. Yeah, but I got to say, I got to say Africa. Like, there's shows I did in Africa that if there was social media today, It would break a record. Like, it was like, as far as I can see, human beings, nigga, I mean, the buildings, the roofs, the floors, the windows,

the fucking soccer, what is that? The football where you kick the feet, the field go through, niggas is on that. Niggas on the light. It's just out of control, my nigga. Like, I mean, like, where you're just like, yo, this shit is unbelievable and you're ripping it down.

I would say Africa. Africa, my most legendary, it was no Instagram and none of that. So it's like, you know, for one time,

I would pretty much live in Africa for like two years, meaning over here. So what happens is... You stayed there a lot? You stayed in Africa. I've been down to go to. But what happened is

you could go to Ecuadorian, they speak nothing. Oh, I spent. You know, I got for the show day when I just started doing... To go, it's beautiful, and they all. all speak Spanish.

The whole Africa, the whole country. When you meet the girl, is Maria de Sman and Lesita in the middle of Africa. Like, that's their names. You know, Minter, and they're playing sasa and shit.

It's the craziest shit you ever see. I used to go there. You sit out over there. I used to go over there. Grouponich will be performing me, this, that, Tito Jerez, Jose Alberto Canario and Fat Joe. the rapper. That shit was lit every

New Year's. Yeah, fine. But the point is, I've been to some shit. You know what I'm saying? It was really, really, really, really. I went one time. I thought nobody was there. I went to Tanzania. That's the furthest you could go. The plane got to take a break.

The plane got to take a break, my nigga. No. The plane lanes. Like 18-out, niggit, 18 hours in that shit of laying in the smack in the middle. You could be in Sudan. You don't know where the... That shit pits black.

And they start throwing... They put the gas in that bitch. And they ain't going to another five. That's the furthest place I ever been. Right? So I go just to describe the whole shit. We get out. They got a bunch of trucks for us.

We get the gas, the airport. And they race it. They're racing like a president. It's here. Some shit, right? So some guys go in the work. It's like six in the morning. The sun's coming up.

And they almost hit him. So he backs up, fuck. And he sees me, he's like, yo, fat Joe, what's something? That's where I knew I was famous. Yeah. When I went that fucking ball away, and the first nigga at six in the morning

almost got hit with the car. It's like, yo, Joey crack, oh, shit. I say, oh, shit, I'm famous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm all the way to fuck. I don't know me? And so that night I went to do this show. It was so quiet.

My nigga. I came out the back of the thing, and I'm going around the, stadium and he was like nobody. It was quiet and shit. And I made one turn. It might have been 300,000. Maybe like,

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. But you couldn't see the, I was scared. I thought I had a no-show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know where I fuck? It was terrible for me was Columbia. Columbia? I went to Columbia one time and my wife's Colombian.

And, you know, I got an ill story with that one. But, yo, the promoter one, Yo, listen, let me tell you something. The shows was not full, my nigga. They rent the stadiums, and it was like 500 people, 1,000 people, and the shit was 20-seateroeners. That nigger was tight, my man.

He was like, because he paid me a lot of money, and I went out there, and it didn't work. I don't know if he ain't promoted right, or Fat Joe ain't big in Colombia. Land America is Argentina. The place where they accept, like the most America is Argentina and Chile because they got,

they do Lola Paluzas. Like, they're already, you know, educated and, you know, in Mexico, too. The other day I went to, I had a show of Mexico, I think it was like $16,000. But next to us was like a 50,000 arena.

And it was, who was seen it was a chemical romance? Two days in a row, 50,000, bah, Mexico. Mexico, fuck with hip-hop.

Yeah, I see what I said. Yeah, they're very rap. Yeah, I went to Columbia. It was crazy because, you know, my family over there, they probably think of like I'm a big rap star. When they showed up to the show, the big one was just probably like,

yo, what the fuck happened? The saxophone started to. Yeah. Yeah, they was looking like, yo, this thing ain't lit. I'm like, Primo! Nah, but it's shit wasn't rock it, me. I was like, so the promoter?

Are you damn give a fuck about what you're saying, nigga? It is what it is. The craziest. Let me finish the story. The next day, we go to, like, Medell Yink. My daughter. Where was it on Bogota? Yeah, Bogota.

But the next show was Meta Yink. All right. My daughter, this is like Paco. That's all I'm going to say It's like power The TV show My daughter goes to school With a girl

Yo, we in Miami. This guy's a bit... But anyway, he's a great guy. I'm just saying, that happened in Columbia. Let me tell you something I've seen the other day that made me cry, it made me tear,

but at the same time, I was really happy for him. But it made me sad, too. I'm going to tell you what. Dito Nyevins is one of the legends of all legends. Yeah, of course. He's like a Stevie Wonder.

Right, Paddy's a doubt. Just the way to explain it to you. And he showed up with Alex and Station in the middle of La Pella and started, you saw that last week? He started performing in the middle of a lot. He's doing a song. I know he does a show.

I didn't see it, he does a shows. And the whole hood. Like Stevie Wonder decided to pull up on Harlem, pull the fucking piano out and start. And going crazy. Happy, bird. Like, that's what happened in Puerto Rico. Tito Nieves

the Patti LaBelle, Stevie Wonder, whatever, went to the middle of the hood and ripped it down. It never been seen before. No South ever in history. So I'm looking, because he was like a mentor to me. I love Tito,

and I'm looking, it made me feel like, for one, we better appreciate Tito Nevis. For two is, man, it can no, right?

And so I'm like, it scared me at the same time I was happy. I was like, wow. Like, you know, one day we're going to get a phone call that the legends of all legends passed away. No, no, God forbid.

God forbid. No, not him. Yeah, yeah. We want to, yeah. No, we want everybody. Yeah, yeah, that's true. We're in there. It may you.

Hepti. Uh, there's a lot of old legends out, man. It's going to happen, man. It's a lot of old legends out. You know, because you think about, even in English, we think about certain legends that still here that we take for. Granted that if they passed away, you'd be like, yo. Yeah, 100%, 100%.

Now, you feel getting the Latin Grammy. Man, that was, it was a blessing, but you know, the funny thing is, like, okay, I was not only for the Grammy, right for Benito orchalana. I was how to develop. Develop, produce that? Yeah, develop, develop. Mark Anthony's nephew.

That's my little man, fath. He's a, his clothes are. Great time we've been locked in. You've seen, is that his line? I wear it. We're ready, one, two, three. Yes. He's flush.

Shout out to develop. That's my family and his sister. So we made the song. We was nominated for the Grammy, but I had twins that same week. So in my mind, I forgot about the Grammys. So I had the twins, I think,

well, we were, um, they were two months in ICU because they were born prematurely. So I was just every day going to the hospital, every day waking up going to hospital. Yeah, working out. Real life. How about that?

Real life. So I wake up. up and I just see my Instagram flooding and my phone flooded and say, you got a Grammy. I said, oh boy, I got a Grammy. Boom. And like, they had asked me if I wanted to go you know, to the Grammys. I might have, you know.

But like I said, no, I can't leave my mom and my girl with the 22, you know, I was like, it was even like a thought in my head. And in my mind's like, I've been out of many a few times. Like, that ain't going going to happen. And boom. But I didn't, I wouldn't. You wish you had that moment? No, no. No, no. Never.

Never. Never. Never. It was my Grammy. babies. Like, you know, I wouldn't have been in other. I got nominated for like six, seven Grammys, man. I never won shit, man. But I don't mean anything. And I go with that bitch like a revolving door. Yeah, you lost already.

I ain't. You like the outfit, my nigga, I'm out of here. It's hard, too. Like, you know, when you got that, you guys competing against MJ. You know, you're feeling like, it's, it's, it's.

Sometimes we got nominated, we was MJ. And you were shocked that we lost, I lost to like the black hot bees before they had the white girl. Like this shit was just unjustful. You know what? Flag.

That's a flag. What was it? What was the song? I had like lean back. This shit was number one 47 weeks. The niggas came the niggas, they had freestyles and something. They beat us. What was it? What was it? You know the Grammys. Let's listen. We love the Grammys.

I want to win one this year, but I finally win. Give me an honorary. Something, a button, nigga, like, give me an I won the Grammy button. Give me a gold button or something, because, yo, my man, my sister's number. Like, even if you're going to give me an honorary or not. You got to get him right.

You got to get Joey right. Yeah, they got to get me right. They just got to give me an honorary, a makeup call. I got like two. I should have won that flat out should have won. Like, all the way up. Let's get it started. Huh?

Fucking phenomenal. You're going to love it. Was it good? Was it good? Oh, man, you're going to love it. That's incredible. If you love Michael, you're going to love this. I'll be scared to watch Michael still.

So I'll be, you know, they'd be trying to try. Yeah, that's it. That's, that's it. You know, you know, Clive Davis, rest in peace. It's few news today. The minute you die, they start trying to throw shit on you. I had to tell somebody who's a real, a real dude, not just a real dude. We call him the Lovys.

The nickname is the Lovys. And super of the realist dude. And we just talk to shit. And he starts, hey, you hear what they're trying to say about Clive Davis and this and now? I said, yo, listen, love you. And this guy is the dawn. I said, Love him. If you wasn't talking like that, why he's,

He was alive. Let's not talk about him like that now. And he caught himself so fast because he's the realest of the way. He said, yo, you know what, Joe? You're right. He said, I'm, I just, I went for the hype. I said, nah, B, because, you know, we're MJ, same shit. Anybody could do.

Let me tell you something. You made it for them. And I don't want to give people ideas, but I'll tell you something. You can go with a little bag to anybody's hood. I could go right now. let's just say Nikki Jam. I can go to Boston where he was raised and pay 10 crackheads that lived up there

for them to talk shit about Nikki Jam, his mother, his father, his this, and make a documentary. That's anywhere you go, brother, you go to my projects, you throw him $2 and shit a pack of chicken wings. They'd be like, fuck fat Joe, he was gay, his mother's a lesbian.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't go about what these people say. You gotta love the person for what You love a... What happened? Honorary flags. Yeah. Jeez, man.

God damn, man. My point is, they say bad shit, but you'll love the movie. If it sounds like in good, you know, like, you know... You're going to love the Michael Jackson movie. It was really great. His nephew really played a hell of a role.

It was really inspiration. It was really, really dope. You know, I fuck with it. You ever see Michael Jackson concert? No. No, I'd rather seen it live. I never met Michael Jackson. Like, I probably pee on myself

if I saw Michael Jackson real fucking life. I tell you something else. Huh? I'd have to be something else. Like, I got an MJ concert back in the day. Fucking concert. MJ. And anyway, you know, I sampled him.

I did a song dedicated to my mother. He said, free. He cleared the sample. Same day. They was like, yo, Michael Jackson said he's a fan. Cleared the shit. And one day, the Maria sample I used. I couldn't.

You can't fucking believe for free. That's crazy. Dr. Drey, Queen Latifah, Michael Jackson, I know they all rich. And recently, the Biggie Estate, I sampled them and they was like, yo, your money no good, fat, Joe.

I'm about the samples and still shoot. No, I'm not alone if they're going to give it to you. I'll joke. I'll joke. That's honorario. You know what I'm saying, Lalia? You might got to pay. You might have to pay.

That's fine. That's far. That's far. That's far. No, that was true. crazy, but Michael Jackson... MJ had a very much far. I was crying.

I watched this funeral. I was in Albania. I had a show in Albania. And my door must have been opened my hotel. I'm watching a funeral. I'm crying. All my friends looked at me. They thought, like, something...

Like, they never seen Joe Crack cry. So they're looking like, oh, shit. And I'm looking at MJ's feet. It was... That was like 9-11. When they said Michael Jackson died, I pulled the truck over. Right?

Almost near Yonkers. I'm up there. I was visiting my son, Ryan, up there by that. What's that shit? The sawgrass. Sawmill. So I'm up near there. They say that.

And when I pull over and I check every radio station, like, there's a radio station here. I call 10-10 wins that they only play the news. They don't play a record. They don't even play a melody. Dumb niggas have Michael Jackson on. The Italian radio. radio station, Michael, the Spanish, the theater,

would never really enjoy Spanish music growing up unless it was like awesome No, not something, but still very, like, Oh, du Metsite, but who had he or the telephone, all that shit was ringing. Yeah.

But I grew up in a whole black neighborhood. So it wasn't until I went to high school that I met a Spanish dude that lived in the all Puerto Rican neighbor. I didn't know they had the other side of it where I'm the one Spanish nigga running around. I met the one black dude running around the Spanish neighborhood. They're playing Sousa all over.

They got the food. I get over there. And they're like, get Popsie. Get Pasa. But a nigga black in there. Bobby, love, Pasa. I met the fat Joe of that neighborhood over there. I'm like, oh, shit, you got a black guy that talks that.

Y'all, for me and Papa, what you're talking about? And so that's where I learned Hector La Valle. Okay. And I learned all the Southside grades, the Willie Colones, all of them. That's where I learned salsa music because they was black. It was just, it was just.

And before that was, it was no Instagram, my nigger. So it was just like, I grew up in the black neighborhood and then I went to a place that I didn't even know exist where it's all Puerto Rican.

Yeah. So when I went there, they blasted salsa, my nigga, the salsa over there, it was no English over there. And when did you mean, when you mean pun?

Oh, punt, punt from my hood. That's that. As before you got to have, The Puerto Rican... No, no, I already had an album out already. I was finishing my second album.

That it works. It's the guy. Nigger, this gonna be the one. So he sits in the car. You know, we drive and he tells me his life story in about 20 minutes. And then he was like, yo, let me too, because, you know, we already was a crew. So Terror Squad was already had a very street presence in the Bronx and all that.

So he was like, yo, I'm going to have all these crazy niggas up under me. I was like, yeah, you're going to, you, and then we just became brothers right on the spy. It was really weird.

Because I come up from the streets where I never really trusted people. You know what I mean? Like a lot of people let me down. There's bad people in the streets. And the drug game, it was the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst. Most deceptive niggas, the most manipulating niggas, the biggest lies you ever seen in your life, the this, this. And then I got to be the guy who tells me his life story, vulnerable.

and trusts me from the first second I meet him because the type of shit he was telling me you don't tell another. Right? So I'm looking at him. I'm like, yo, this thing is he was like, yo, we're going to be brothers. You're going to be my big brother? I said, yeah, I'm going to be your big brother. And we was just tight. Like, it was inseparable.

Me and him, you know, inseparable. That's in peace, man. How did that feel of you when you was in Puerto Rico and you heard big pun for the first time? You knew he was Borikwa. You know what's crazy? Like me, since, okay, I was a big, you know, I was in the States my whole life, 10 years old, came to Puerto Rico, didn't know Spanish.

So I had to learn Spanish first. And then so when I was in Puerto Rico, I was going on vacation, I was seeing Etritito, we seen Yandel, Tego, Don, you know. But I didn't know about, you know, baby Latin gringo, Littiparako,

I had a big pun. I had to learn Spanish first, completely learning Spanish, and then I would go back and study, okay, oh, damn, Big Pun, okay, this, boom, boom. But as a kid, like, you know, that was different because he was popping, like, I was in the States, he was popping.

As for the Latino, like, you know, for a thing with him, like, I would have to, you know, go back and listen again, but Big Pun, man, like, he always was popping because he had commercial songs, he had songs that went. Like, I wasn't, I wasn't asked when you were here, you were here, Big Pun, you're feeling like, you know.

But knowing he was Puerto Rico, I was fired because we didn't have a lot of like Puerto Rican, Puerto Rican representation that would like, that would be so, you know, put the flag on my back, you know, and about it, you know, so it was, you know, him, it was, it was dope. You know, what's crazy is the first, I never forget the first term I, because I used to be scared to fly. Yeah, I got over there to me like two years ago. I was terrified.

Yeah. And so I never used to go to Puerto Rico. why we're selling double platinum. You been to World Eagle Jada? A bunch of times? A couple. DR? Yeah.

Yeah, Latin America be there allowed to you over. Like, five, five, five. You've been to Latin America? Like, like, oh, Mexico. Argentina. I don't really, I never really did Latin America like that. They did Latin America like that. I mean?

That shit crazy, but with me, you know, I've seen, you know, I don't want to repeat myself, but I've seen like the bird. I remember I went to Orchie Beach one day. So every Sunday we would go to Orchie Beach and there was a guy standing there he had all these chains on.

And they was like, yo, that's the Puerto Rican rap. He's the nigger there. I was like, really? From Puerto Rico C. It was Vico C. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So Vecocci was in Orchee Beach with a bunch of chains on and he was that niggil. He was like a Jada kiss over there.

And over here. Yeah, Vigo, Vigo, Vigo, Vigo, Vigo. came over here. I seen them before I even rap. Like, I seen him out. He really helped that, you know, make Puerto Rican rap, you know, more worldwide. Yeah, Vigo's probably one of the first ones.

Have you ever been to a swim meet in your life? I never heard of swimming. For free. Hosting a coach. I never heard of a swimmer hosting the club. Y'all own swimmer hosting. Only swimmer making breath. Michael Phelps got that.

He got that endorsement money. But it does, you know, help you be more disciplined, you know, being good. Like, swimming is a very tough sport. It requires, you know, physical mental. You train like seven hours a day probably. You're doing an hour. Puerto Rico's we always fucked up. We always chose the wrong shit.

So in the hood. The black kids are fucking playing ball. They get money. We play handball, my nigga. We can't get no money on handball. And Puerto Rico is like no able to. Our three sports is baseball, basketball, and boxing. You can make bread.
