Fat Joe Calls Kanye West His “Favorite Rapper In The World”

Fat Joe stopped by the I Am Athlete podcast this week to talk shop with hosts Brandon Marshall, Chad Ochocinco Johnson, LeSean McCoy, and D.J. Williams.

In addition to naming Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt track ‘Feelin’ It’ the “hardest hip hop lyric” of all time, the Bronx rapper also showed mad love to Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne collaborator, Kanye West, calling the Chicago native his “favorite rapper in the world.”

“Kanye is my favorite rapper in the world, and I love him to death,” he said. “He’s my favorite rapper, he’s been my favorite rapper. And I won’t turn my back on him, no matter what he do.”

Joe added, “He’s a genius, he’s incredible, and I fuck with him. A lotta people we cool with, they don’t vote like us, they don’t agree with everything, but we gotta fuck with him. He made ‘Jesus Walks’.”
