Reviews Customer Reviews for Jealous One S Envy Classic Hip-Hop Rating: Yo, I've purchased this album three times. This is a classic hip-hop album. You don't see music like this. Not only do you have Fat Joe at his illest, you've got Primo on production. Consider the era of hip-hop in which this album was released. Primo was the man to see in terms of production. Back then, the producer did the whole album not one or two joints for radio play. Consider the fact that Primo had produced Nas's "Illmatic" a few years prior, an album that was certified "bananas" out the door. A lot was riding on this project for Primo. The follow-up to a classic is always hard...just ask OutKast. A lot was riding on the project for FatJiddo as well. His prior album made some noise but not what was to be expected from a former member of D.I.T.C. Joe definitely served notice on this album and primo picked up where he left off from Illmatic. Jealous One's Envy is a classic that will stand the test of time because it is void of the gimmicks and bullcrap that plagues modern commercial rap. No gimmicks no ploys, no guest appearances featuring latest 'made for radio supastar." Just emcee'ing at its illest.
Customer Reviews for Jealous One S Envy Cd Fat Joe - Jealous One's Envy Rating: Two years after his debut, the Boogie Down Bronxster Fat Joe is back on the scene with his sophomore effort in 1995. Titled "Jealous One's Envy," Joe is out to prove once again he can be a dominate force in New York hip-hop. Can he make a solid follow-up to his debut or will he suffer from the sophomore curse?

Wow Joe really suprised me with this album. There's not one skippable track thus making it a classic. Production is top notch and Joe's flow and lyrics again make the tracks banging. Definitely check this out if your a fan of his, Terror Squad or New York hip-hop.
