Fat Joe & Jadakiss on LEGENDARY Jay-Z, Biggie & Nas rap battles in 1990s NYC + Top 5 hip hop songs

Fat Joe and Jadakiss take us on a trip down memory lane back to their early days in New York City coming up in the golden era of hip hop. Joe and Jada talk about recording demos at D&D Studios around legends, pulling up to clubs and seeing rap legends like The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, DMX, and Nas cyphering outside, how Jada met Ma$e in a cypher on 125th Street, Joe getting lawsuits thrown at him by lawyers representing Michael Jackson and Prince after his first successful mixtape, when they first knew 50 Cent would be a superstar, and many more legendary stories dug out from the crates of hip hop history. After, Joe forces Jada to come up with his top-five hip hop songs ever, and their lists include classics from Tupac, Dr. Dre, Run DMC, Snoop Dogg, and more.
