First Week Sales Prediction of Fat Joe and Remy Ma's "Plata O Plomo" Album

The duo of Fat Joe and Remy Ma have finally dropped their collaborative album, Plata O Plomo, and I want to attempt to predict what it would sell in its first week in stores. The album was meant to have dropped in the second quarter of last year (2016), but Fat Joe said (in a recent interview) he held it back because people on his team said he should allow singles off the album bring in enough money before releasing the full album. Th the first single off the album, All The Way Up has already sold over 1 million copies since it was released in March of 2016.

It is good to see the old Terror Squad back together again. Remy had her falling out with Fat Joe about 7 years ago and then went to jail afterwards. And DJ Khaled got too big for Terror Squad, but it is good to see they are back together again, and working on music. This is a picture of Fat Joe, Remy Ma, and DJ Khaled Fat Joe put on his Instagram yesterday.

Fat Joe Speaks on What Caused His Isssues with Nas

I'm sure they are cool now, but there was a time Fat Joe was not speaking to Nas for what he felt Nas did wrong. Before then, they were cool buddies. Below is what Fat Joe had to say about the problem he had with Nas in 2005 when Nas squashed his beef with Jay Z.

Fat Joe Speaks on Remy Ma's Return to Hip Hop

Remy Ma just got released from prison last weekend, and she is enjoying all the attention right now. After being away for six years, she came out and and immediately jumped on the remix of DJ Khaled's They Don't Love You No More. She more or less killed that beat, and is currently working on some new material. Although she and her former boss, Terror Squad C.E.O, Fat Joe had issues before she went in, they were able to squash the beef before she got out of prison a few days ago. In a recent interview with XXL, Joey Crack spoke on Remy's return to the music industry.





"Remy Martin has no real challenge. Remy Martin is loved. Remy Martin is, pound for pound, top one or two most lyrical female rappers in the world. [There’s] a lot of females out there. Not just rapping, but I'm just saying in general. A lot of female fans. She just gotta make hits. At the end of the day, [that’s] what my concern is. And she’s been taught by the hitmakers of the world. She’s gonna be alright. I have no concerns. 34 means nothing. You look, most rappers who are hot today are 34. She looks the same. She’s good." 



True. I didn't know what to think about her till I heard her on DJ Khaled's They Don't Love You No More; she has gotten better with time. How do you do that after being locked up for six years? She really surprised me. I wish her all the best. With the right ingredients, the right producers and hitmakers by her side, she will have a great second run in the rap game. 

Cuban Link Recalls Funny Big Pun Memory

Terror Squad was a force to recon with in the late 90s, early 2000s. Although they didn't sell huge numbers, they were super lyrical, and were respected in the streets. The team was all Latino rappers, except from Remy Ma. Fat Joe put the crew together, but Big Pun was the most commercially successful in there, before he passed away in 2000. Asides from being a rap crew, they were all very close friends. This great hip hop group has since fallen apart, and some are even beefing with each-other. HipHopDX recently caught up with one of the members, Cuban Link, and got him to speak on one of his best Big Pun memories. 

 "It’s so many, man. My favorite was before the music started, man. It was just us going to the movies and him doing a fucking cartwheel as soon as we get in the matinee at Whitestone Cinema in the Bronx. We had a couple of 40s, and this nigga just walks down the aisle and does a somersault. People was in the fuckin’ movie theatre looking crazy like, what the fuck we on? It goes from there to us fucking going to the Poconos when 'Still Not A Player.' was already poppin’. We were all on quads and we following Pun all day like he’s the leader. He had the big ass quad, the 800, it was fun. Out of nowhere he left all of us. He just jetted, and we couldn’t find him. And out of nowhere I see the fucking quad turned over by a tree. Over the tree was a big ass hill so I’m like, “What the fuck happened to my brother?” I’m getting nervous, and we find this nigga on the side of a tree. It was a tree that leaned over the mountain, but he was on top of the tree with blood on the side of his lip. It was me and Sunkiss there at the time, and we’re looking for help and yelling, “Yo, Twin, yo, yo!” and this nigga just pops up and start gigging on us [laughs]. He caught us and shit. He was playing dead, and it was funny to us, but for a second it was real serious."
