This is true.Being originally from the Bronx NY i have been in connection with a few people who know how FAT JOE does business.
Allegedly Puerto Rican and African American rappers from the Bronx were getting signed to FAT JOES label and then being kept on the back burner for publication.
Turns out the plan was to make sure to not have any new rap icons come from the Bronx so that he can get all the notoriety of being the Bronx icon. The music business is no joke. This is a true story.

- aridiculous 15y agoI kind of get the strategy, but it seems risky and expensive to try and "catch" all (or at least enough to be effective) bronx rappers before they got famous. To be honest, if it was a foolish plan, that sort of makes it more scummy in my mind: to care so little about others that you execute a crappy plan just because you can.
