Fat Joe

“N***a, bitch, hoe/some chicks is bitches, some chicks is hoes…Now who gonna tell me I can’t say ni***a?”

According to Nah Right, that’s a line from “Fugitive”, a track from Fat Joe’s upcoming album, Elephant In The Room.

The line addresses Joe’s constant usage of the word in his music.

What do you guys think about Joe (who is of Puerto Rican/Cuban descent) using the word?

Remember back when fellow Puerto Rican-American artist Jennifer Lopez said the word in the “Ain’t It Funny (Remix)”? There was an uproar about it – mainly because she’s seen as more of a “mainstream” artist – and she was widely condemned.
