Fat Joe recently spoke on the Irving Plaza shooting saying its quite ironic that this happened around the time when New York rappers are trying to unite. Jay-Z and Joe who were former foe’s, recent collabed together on the ‘All The Way Up’ remix. Joe claims this is one reason why the collab happened to reconcile beef.
Joe says,
“The reason we did this sh-t [the ‘All The Way Up’] was so the sh-t that happened last night where people got shot in the middle of a concert doesn’t happen. We’re trying to show people you can have your differences but it can actually end peacefully. It doesn’t have to end with death and destruction.”
While speaking on the Irving Plaza shooting, he went on to say,
“That’s pretty ironic that [shooting happened] while we’re doing this symbol of unity. I hope these young kids see it and follow suit. Cause ain’t nothing really worth it. You gotta understand most of us grew up in poverty with a dream and all the stripes against us. The fact we’re able to make music, make money, have fans, and make our dreams come true – we really gotta appreciate that.”
