Details: Product description Fat Joe ~ Jealous Ones Still Envy (Jose) Amazon.ca Jealous Ones Still Envy is Fat Joe's attempt to turn the tables and rack up the sales needed to keep him in the platinum chains and gangsta style he raps about. Despite a decade of trying, he has never quite managed to make it out of hip-hop's second division. His previous three solo albums may have all gone gold, but that's little comfort at a time when rap's big hitters go triple platinum within a week of release. As the spluttering "Fight Club" and "My Life Style" remind, the South Bronx heavy weight has always been more about passion and attitude than staggering ability. To compensate, he's loaded JOSE with A-list guests who seem to do all his work for him. provides the killer hook for "We Thuggin'", adds spark to the remix, 's ragga toasting sets off "King Of NY" and on standout track "What's Luv?", Joe's barely present, leaving and the angel voiced to make it a guaranteed hit. Perhaps not as creative or essential as his guests' output--or indeed his own 1995 album Jealous Ones Envy, from which JOSE takes its name--this unashamed stab at the commercial jugular could be the bridge to the mainstream he's been looking for.--Dan Gennoe
