Rap Critic Reviews: “What’s Luv” by Fat Joe feat. Ashanti - Rap Critic
Hi, I'm the Rap Critic! Let's talk about Fat Joe… technically for the first time, since, "Lean Back" was by Terror Squad, even though he just happened to be rapping on about 77% of it. Now, I want to correct a little mistake I made in that episode, because I had said that it was Big Pun who was the leader of the Terror Squad and that when he died, the head of the group changed over to Fat Joe, but in actuality, it was Fat Joe that founded Terror Squad, and then Big Pun joined them later. Which is weird to me, because, I mean, Big Pun is, like, Mr:

"Rub your face off the Earth and curse your family children
Like Amityville drill the nerves in your cavity filling"

I mean, he always came off as the guy in charge, and Fat Joe, *sample lyric from Twins* I mean, he's not bad, I don't want you to think that he sucks, but… he's… when your standing next to:

"A villain without remorse, who's willing to out your boss
Forever and take all the cheddar like child support"

You're gonna look like second in command, whoever you are. And in addition, it was kinda Big Pun who became more popular than him in such a short amount of time, with hits like "Still Not a Player" charting around 98, and Fat Joe not really having a big hit until 2002 with this song "What's Luv", and guess what? Both of them were "Thugs Need Love Too", songs. Although like I've always said, you can talk about anything as long as you make it interesting, and with Pun, he had the asshole rap personality down pat. You see, the man was so brash and upfront with his delivery, it was kind of endearing:

"Bet Ya Man Can't do it like this
He can't work the middle, cause his thang too little"

"I don't wanna be a player no more
(I'm not a player, I just fuck a lot)"

And that's what made him likable: the over-the-topness of his lyricism made him enjoyable to listen to, as well as having outstanding rhyming abilities, and in addition, Pun was just more fun. I mean, for a guy who looked like this… he knew that he had to do something to compensate for his appearance, and so when making a love… okay, it's just a sex song, there's nothing lovey dove about this:

"I rip my prick through ya hooters
I'm sick, you couldn't measure my dick with six rulers"

But, when making this kind of song, he always came off as a guy who did not take himself too seriously

"Litte brown hairs everywhere"
