About Fat Joe: Born on August 19, 1970, Joseph Antonio Cartagena, better known by his stage name Fat Joe, is an American rapper. Hailing from the birthplace of Hip-Hop, the South Bronx, Fat Joe was destined for greatness. As a teenager, he was highly influenced and mentored by fellow Latino rapper Big Pun. In the 1990s, Fat Joe began as part of the rap group D.I.T.C., and signed to Relativity Records. In 1993, his debut album, Represent, was released, with the lead single, "Flow Joe," successfully peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. In 1995, he released his second studio album, Jealous One's Envy, which peaked at #71 on the Billboard 200 and at #7 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums. The second single, "Envy," also peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart. This then led Fat Joe to be featured on the remix of LL Cool J's single "I Shot Ya" alongside Foxy Brown, Keith Murray, and Prodigy of Mobb Deep. From 1998 to 2006, he was signed to Atlantic Records, releasing four albums: Don Cartagena (1998), Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.) (2001), Loyalty (2002), and All or Nothing (2005). Well received by many, Don Cartagena peaked on the Billboard 200 at #7, and #2 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums, and was eventually certified gold by the RIAA.A hit-maker by nature, in 2004 the cultural hit “Lean Back” was released, staying in the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks. In 2008, VH1 ranked the single at number 55 in its "100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs" list. On March 2nd, 2016, the summer hit, “All the Way Up,” was released by Fat Joe and Remy Ma, featuring French Montana and Infrared. “All the Way Up” became the lead single off of Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s joint album, “Plata o Plomo,” which released earlier this year. The single peaked at #9 on Billboard’s US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart and #31 on Billboard’s US Billboard Hot 100 chart. On December 6th, 2016, it was announced that Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s, “All the Way Up,” was nominated for two 2017 Grammy Awards: best rap performance and best rap song. Recently, the RIAA confirmed that “All the Way Up” was certified double platinum with nearly 2 million in US units. Even more, Fat Joe and Remy Ma were both nominated for the 2017 BET Awards for best group. With a new Roc Nation management deal, joining heavyweights, DJ Khaled, The LOX, and Jay Electronica, Fat Joe is now ready more than ever before to make history. .

  • Skildringen Av Den Våta Fittan
    Skildringen av den våta fittan En granskning av amerikanska reaktioner på raplåten WAP Hedda-Louise Birgersson Wagner Avdelningen för mänskliga rättigheter Historiska institutionen Kurskod: MRSK62 Termin: Höstterminen 2020 Handledare: Dan-Erik Andersson Omfång: Antal ord: 13785 Abstract The Depiction of the Wet Pussy An analysis of the american reception of the rap-song WAP In August 2020, american female rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion released a new hit-song, called WAP – short for Wet Ass Pussy. The song sparked an international debate about the sexually explicit content of the lyrics. American reviews of the song include sceptisism from conservatives, as well as praise from liberals. However, this analysis is not based on an examination of ideologies. Instead it is focused on the more wide debate about race, gender, sexuality and class in the US political context. Based on research made in the field of hiphop feminism, hiphop has long served as a tool of ex- pression for oppressed groups in the US, and this song is no exception. Using a content analysis, four articles from the american press will be analysed from an intersectional theoretical framework, which will conclude in the findings that the song is an express- ion of female lust as much as it is a political statement against discriminating structures and oppression. Moreover, the song can be understood as both empowering and limiting for (black) female bodies, simultaneously. Key words: Popular culture, hip-hop, intersectionality, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, sexuality, USA Abstrakt I augusti 2020 släpper de kvinnliga hiphopartisterna Cardi B och Megan Thee Stallion låten WAP (Wet Ass Pussy).

  • Product Secrets: 21 Different Ways to Create Products for Your Offers!
    INTRO Product Secrets: 21 Different Ways To Create Products For Your Offers! When someone starts the Two Comma Club X Program, one of the most important things we try to teach right off the bat is, “Stop selling products and start creating offers!” The fact is, an offer is actually a bundle of products stacked together, all designed to make it irresistible to the customer. Which means, when you create an offer, you need to first create the products that go inside that offer. This often leads to paralysis because designing one product from scratch is hard enough, never mind a bundle of them. Then there’s the issue of time involved, and how can you produce these products quickly? This newsletter is going to outline 21 different possible product ideas. It’s designed to get your wheels turning so you can open your mind the possibilities (which are endless). One thing I want to make sure of is that you have a plethora of ideas to choose from! Before we dive into the product ideas, there’s a foundational piece to product creation that’s very important. PLATA O PLOMO (BRibE OR THE BULLET) 1 “People will spend more money for the exact same product packaged in a different way.” The first time I ever really understood this concept, was when people started telling me, “You have to read the book, Think and Grow Rich!” So I went to Amazon and bought it. The copy of this book cost me $9.99. When it ar- rived, I put it on my nightstand and...
