Fabolous talks ‘Ghetto Fabolous’ 25th anniversary, ‘Let’s Rap About It’ podcast, WILDEST tour stories + calls out Fat Joe’s past comments

30:45You know what I've learned? The things that really matter, you can't rush them. Facts. You can't rush the sauce. You can't rush the music. You can't rush relationships. And you definitely can't rush great tequila. That's why 1800 Tequila stands out. The name goes all the way back to the 1800s when the Beckman family started making tequila. And that patience, that attention to the craft has been passed down through more than 11 generations. That's legacy. Sometimes you just got to let something cook. Juan Beckman Vidal aged 1800 and Neo longer than he even had to because he knew it wasn't ready yet.

31:26I respect that. Don't put it out just because you can put it out. Put it out when it's right. That applies to a record, a conversation, a mood, a making, and clearly a bottle of tequila. Once you get it right, you share it with your people. That's always been part of the story. Good tequila, good conversation, and the people around you really appreciate both. Passion, hard work, honesty. Those words are written on every bottle of 1 ,800. And honestly, that's the foundation for anything built to last. So take your time with what you're creating, and when the moment is right, share it with your people.

32:031 ,800 tequila. Good stuff takes time. And the best stuff's meant to be shared with your people. Okay, sis, give me the scoop. What have you been up to? Living my best life.

39:55Two things. Woo! Two things. Now it's the real thing. They gave me the Pudo. Pudo. Eighteen, honey. Pudo. 25 years. Ghetto fabulous. How does it feel? You doing the tour? You doing the one night only? You doing anything you do? I don't know. I kind of like internally, like always celebrate it in a sense. Not always like in the public. Also because it's more intimate. Family more. Yeah. I like it that way too, but I also, the date that first album dropped was 9-11. So like, you know, just to be considerate of the lives lost and the tragedy of that day, like I can't pop out. But, you know, it's always, you know, internally it's with friends and fam to celebrate 25 years and anything you do, you know what I'm saying?

40:40That's the most... It was the same day that Jay-Z album came out too, right? Yeah, Blueprint. When that first happened, they called me like, Like, yo, man, you see what's happening, man? Everything's canceled. So I'm like, what? I'm thinking it was Hov. Like, I'm a young MC. I'm just coming in the game. I'm thinking Hov shut me down. You know what I mean? They're like, nah, turn on the TV. And I turn on the TV, the plane, that's the first thing I see is the plane going to the building. So I'm like, but I'm still not really understanding what that was because I'm like, it's a movie or something, but then like a few minutes later, another person.

41:13I'm like, well, nah, this is serious. I was watching that shit from Edgewater. I used to live in a townhouse on the water. So we outside on the balcony. My man Flex, rest in peace, called me. And I'm looking and we see the building go down. It's a lady right next to me. She's butt naked in the balcony.

41:40Whatever, she butt naked. I'm not looking at her like she butt naked. I'm looking like fucking end of the world. Right? So I'm not, it's 9-11, the building. No, it ain't nothing like that. It's real things going on. I understand. I'm getting. Man, about two, three years ago, I'll never forget where we at. What's that, River Palm? Lady walks in where her family says, Dad, yo, I'm the lady from 9-11 that was on the balcony next to you. I say, yo, I tell these guys the story all the time. Lady really exists. She was butt naked on the balcony. It's 9-11. The fucking building's come down. I got a question.

42:17I lived in Queens. Hold on. I lived in Queens with that. Hold on. No, I lived in Edgewater. The lady was next to you, butt naked? She lived. She was my next door neighbor. Who was she was butt naked for? Somebody called there and told her 9-11. She come out the balcony like, you think it's the end of the world? Did y 'all kiss? Dude, I looked at the front of my house. I wouldn't face the end of the world with a sweatshirt. Listen, in the front of my house, there was a pool. Like in the complex. There was one man, I ain't lying to you, he was just standing there with all his clothes on at the pool.

42:53Like he was bugging. Like that shit was really traumatizing. It was a dude just sitting in the beast chair, just staring at nothing. Like he was schizophrenia for that day. He was just sitting there. I looked at him. It was bugged out that 9-11 was some other shit. I wasn't even thinking about the album after that started. I had to like, I'm trying to check in with people. I'm trying to figure out what's going on you trying to watch the news I went back to my projects that day and was like tapping it with the hood and just seeing what was going on like all kind of, it was a different time you know what I'm saying?

43:30I lived on the water across from the west side when I tell you them planes the shit we ain't supposed to see the war they came, they was like my little fucking house was shaking like the army shit tanks they had tanks on the west of Ohio mad tanks all the time I'm looking right at it fighter planes and all that was fine the little bullshit townhouses was shaking like fighter planes the fucking helicopters that blow shit up like all that shit I'm watching all that shit out the window you know it was the craziest moment of that day and when I went back to my projects we went to the roof of my building.

44:16You could smell, you know when something's on fire? You could smell fire. We're in Brooklyn? I'm in Brooklyn, in Bed-Stuy. I could smell fire. You could see the shit in the air, but you could smell it, too. I was just like, man, this is crazy. And that's how I knew, you know what I mean? This was real. People started coming home, like coming down, you see it, and we're like, yeah, yeah, I've seen that. It was a crazy time, bro. You know what happened was, they ain't have no planes flying. Mm-hmm. So we don't know that. Like, right now, planes pass us every day, and we so used to it. It's like, but when no planes pass, it's like silence up there.

44:56So we was outside and all that. We was like, damn, ain't no plan. I remember when the first plane just, it was like, all right, planes can fly again. Then you heard the noise. Where you was at that day, Kis? I was in the crib, in the bed, in the wild, watching the news. Then I start seeing people coming up the hill from the Metro North with the debris on them. People had to walk home that day and all that shit. I'm in George Washington Bridge. You had to walk home? I was stuck on the subway for almost three hours in Brooklyn at Kingston and Troop. Tell you something. No, I was living in Far Rockaway.

45:35I forget about it in Far Rockaway. You walked home? I was on the platform. My Uncle Dan worked in the building. I saw the first plane hit, and we thought, like everyone else, we thought it was a Cessna or some whatever. We thought it was an accident at first. Yeah, exactly. So I get on. The second one, it was over. Yeah, the second one, you knew it was real. We're there for about three hours, and they back us to the station before we get out, and I can look over from Brooklyn downtown, and exactly like you said, you can see everything billowing up, smell it. Bro, my Uncle Dan worked in the building that fell down.

46:11Now, Uncle Dan was there when he tried to blow it up the first time, the blind cheek, right? Then, so he already went through that. So when the plane hits the thing, they telling everybody, I still ain't see this on a documentary. They telling everybody on the loudspeaker, they got a loudspeaker for the whole building. Don't panic, don't rush. This building's strong, it's gonna be all right. Uncle Dan ran the fuck up out that building. About 10 minutes later, that whole shit came down. that shit like you know yeah god bless man god bless the everybody who lost their lives and that it was a but I also think it's a part of American history now it is like it's the thing that we've never seen before or seen since you know what I'm saying it's a it's a milestone or like a moment in American history it is you dropped the album on that day that's fucking nuts That's crazy.

47:11That's how close we are to like shit happen. They're going to be trying to tell people all the time. We are part of American history too. Yes. Like hip hop is American history. At this point we at like nothing gets, nothing gets sold or nothing. It's a universal language. It got us in Russia. It got us in Haiti. It got us all around the world. So it's definitely a part of American history to me. so when you decided since when you been getting fly I mean I think for New Yorkers like it start in the hood I think like you know like now kids or like you know with social media they can look at their favorite artists you should never be wet aesthetics and stuff that you can see online I took it from my hood I seen what was popping in our hood I even think the rappers back in the day like say like LL he took his style from what he was seeing in the streets I couldn't believe that what he said the one leg up the tango I never knew that as a fan I thought LL invented the style one day I seen an interview and he was talking about yo I got that from drug dealers I was like huh I was influenced by what I was seeing in my hood I never looked at magazines or like stuff like that.

48:39Instead, I wanted to dress like the people in my neighborhood. I wanted to wear the stuff that you know, the fly guys in my neighborhood was where. So like mine came from just being a teenager in that time. Now you can look on, you can take your whole aesthetic from the internet. You should never be wack. Right now, you should never be wack. You can switch up. You look at fucking Instagram and it's like, yo, it's the black T and this. That's what it is. Or it's just like, if you come out looking corny 2026, you got to put, you don't have eyes. Niggas do it every day. Huh? Some niggas, some of your favorite rappers do it every day.

49:15You got to stop, man. You got to get. Niggas is nasty, yo. It ain't no secret. Like, even us on the sneaker side, I don't think none of us just started getting sneakers in this sneaker time when sneakers became popular. Like, you had to, I started getting sneakers from the fifth grade when my uncle buying me Air Max in the fifth grade. I'm like, I seen the way I felt. I seen how the people in my class recognized these kicks when I came. So it was a it started a long time ago. Right? So we was so fucked up that I couldn't get it. Niggas was rocking Prokez, which is nothing to brag about. I was rocking the Jocks Turbo with the strap.

49:54This shit ain't even this shit ain't even have basses. You had a strap. Niggas used to be like, yo, he got the Jocks Turbos with the strap. Like they crucify me. But when you could get it, you got it. I'm trying to tell you now, one day my mom's, God bless my mom's man. She understood my father from Cuba. You always want to save a dollar. My mom's knew we had to get fly. So one day she gave my father $150 so I could buy, he could buy me a bubble goose. So I'm like telling her like, yo, Amado, send me with him. Like, send me with my brother. Not with him. We go to Jewman, name of the store, and the man start arguing for like, had to be about five hours.

50:41Over five hours. Yo, I got 135. They was like, Cuba is 150. 130, and they loved it. They was just bartering and this, this, and that, and then they came out, Cuba, I got something for you. They brought out a plastic V-bomb. Cuba $45 deal The nigga bought the$45 plastic Damn I went to school That shit melted In the radiator These niggas You know I grew up in the South Bronx These niggas is mean And vicious Yo you got the plastic Niggas making names for the V-bomber Shit melted in the thing But you know shit happened to me You know, so I had to get, I had to get to the bag. You can't fly. I never, I never, I risked my life so many times just to get fly.

51:35It was like, it was out of control, but I had to have it. But the hood, the hood styled us before anybody else to style us. Even when I wasn't in the game yet and I'm watching Joe, y 'all had the fatigue suits and, and like my hood was wearing fatigue. even like the Nas era where everybody was wearing the army that's what we wore so that was like the hood you know what I'm saying so that's what we got it wasn't just about yo the rappers wearing that we wearing what the hood is wearing and that's what we represented so that's how I got into like really getting fresh and stuff like that just seeing the people around me getting fresh for real.

52:15You smoked the pure that's the problem they gave this nigga the pure yo somebody okay Hey, somebody give him the halfway weed. Don't give him the host, the pure, the high cheese. Before the pod. That motherfucker come in the pod like, we did a show. I'm listening to you. We did a live show. 5 ,000 people for tomorrow. Joe and Jada, that shit ain't easy. He high as fuck. I'm like this. I'm like, yo, Kissy, he looking at me like, you better shit. I'm looking at you like, I'm listening to you. He looking at me like, yo, you better get to talking, nigga, because don't wait for me. That motherfucker's sitting there like, look, you know where you trapped, like the movie Get Out?

53:00He was trapped in your kiss. Are you in there, kiss? Kiss, are you in there? He looking at me like. This thing is crazy. I don't like. I'm looking at him. I've been doing this shit with him so long. I got to go. I don't like to interrupt you. and it's hard to interrupt you. So once you turn that mission, he got to send packets look at you with that face. I'm looking at him. I say, yo, I need some kind of help. Nah, go. I've never seen you need help. Tell him one of your famous stories, Joe. I said, this motherfucker. Pulled them all up. I said, yo. He's like, if I can throw three Joe stories We can finish the whole show.

53:49They wanted to hear it, though. He said, you know, man's stuck in his own... Yo, he like, yeah, he said, you know, tell him one of the stories. One of the stories, Joe. I'm like, oh. Tell you about the time. Nah, you a funny dude. Yo, your pops is crazy. I do think y 'all, you know, I want to say congratulations. I do think y 'all compliment each other, on the show and when I see it, I see y 'all bringing both of y 'all personalities. They work together.

54:28It works. It works. I don't think two Joes on the same show could work. Oh, no. See? I already said if it was me and Tony Yeo, we had beef with the whole community. We had beef with the pastors. this is the perfect oil and vinegar yo Joe chill pull him back calm down let me not let him go too crazy if it was too wild for the night crazy guys it's over sometimes things work together that people don't expect like I wouldn't store it but like that's how you look at peanut butter and jelly like it just works together oh no it's perfect man I wouldn't do it with nobody else and we having a hell of a run huh definitely my brother he like whatever you say that's like in your show I guess Jim Jones is the fat Joe right he's I would say I would say Mano is more no Mano's my favorite on the pod I'm not trying to disrespect him he says the most craziest shit he has stories he's unapologetically him he actually is saying the real his truth He's unapologetically him.

55:44That's for you. Jim Jones, he got a battle rap at 50 Cent and all that. Jim Jones is like, Jim Jones? It's the third rail right there. All day, every day. He's surfing on the third. He love this shit. Every day is in the... Are you nuts? At least they ain't no talking some normal shit. Nah, they figured it out. I think that fit... Because with this shit, it takes a... You got to shoot a few and then you're going to start... It starts morphing into what it ain't. Yeah. Maybe my Bobby and them can sit down and say what they're. Davey's just want to look sexy no matter what. Davey's could be out of baptism.

56:21Let me tell you something. That nigga do this Quentin Oz. He be right in. Y 'all niggas show my... 26 people got shot this, that, Davey's like this.

56:38For whoever watching that bitch. 26 people got shot thrown over the rails. He don't give a fuck. This guy's crazy, dog. But I'm happy for you guys, man. You know what I'm saying? I told Jim Jones when he started, I said, yo, you are perfect for this. You know what I mean? I said, yo, you are perfect for this. You got something to say, you know, with us. It's like we have to figure the joint out where, you know, everybody around us was getting rich off the shit nobody told me yo it's the bag over here yeah that's how i look like there's there's some research and i just thought you know it's one of the the biggest growing things in the platform yeah and i and even our culture as hip-hop hip-hop the hip-hop culture is now tapped in the podcast and you know seeing different people talk about different things like podcasting has been around for a long time but hip-hop wasn't tapped into it all the time you know i mean like joe joe buttons has been doing it for a while but it was like his own audience yeah i will say jim is wasn't like he was he was genius about seeing that we could be a show because again like how you said i was i'm not a big talker so like it wasn't something that i saw in the cars is what i wanted to do but then when he put it together and was like yo we should do this and we you know we started and I did the research on it.

58:08I'm like, damn, it's, it's the money in it. It's, you know what I mean? It's also a way to show your personality, you know, and rap is, you know, you kind of like you're an artist. So you kind of, your personality is in that. I just think for us, it was more a way of preserving the culture. Cause you know, everybody out here presenting false narratives. You know, I seen a Latinos in hip hop documentary and they started with pit bull. they forgot Fat Joe Big Pond, Cypress, Seals everywhere I seen that shit, I said oh man and I love Pitbull, I said oh this shit getting out of hands say Steve Stout put out of a documentary, it's gonna be all about how he invented hip hop or some shit like that, so he was doing all that, so I was like you know what we gotta preserve the culture, people gotta hear from the artists themselves, so when that kid is 30 years old and he wanna look back at the videotape, be like nah Ah, Fab said it like this.

59:03Snoop Dogg said it like this because shit was getting, like, out of control. Other people can tell your story as well. We all, and even down to that, like, hip-hop has a lot of stories, like, even the stuff that we've been through. So we get to even share them stories with the public that they might have never known. Like, that's a whole other discovery for, like, a fan or just a fan of hip-hop, you know? Yeah. Fly on the wall. When people are like, word that happened like that, they in the room. man. So you telling the story and your fan loves reservoir dogs. And he tells the story how it came out.

59:40And he's like, what? Oh, it was there when he spit this shit. Right. Yo, this, they, they get that knowledge that they always wondered, you know, about, you know, the podcast shit to me is really, really dope. What about the, let's wrap about it. That, the, uh, the intro, the intro, who thought of that? We, uh, we was trying to think of the perfect like hip hop beat. And, and I feel like shook ones is just, I think it might've even been voted as the number one. Yeah. Arguably. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So that's the, before they even voted that we was trying to pick a, a beat that one is like, you hear it, you know exactly what it is.

1:00:26Just because all four of us was rappers and we wanted to, you know, represent the culture. and hip hop. What is some of your favorite beats that producers have made? I'm not saying yours, just like other artists' beats that you think is crazy. All time? What do you mean? Yeah, yeah, all time. Definitely strict ones. Definitely strict ones. It's a lot, man. Like, it's so many hip hop beats that you hear, like, you even wish they was yours. Like, you know what I'm saying? You wish, when you hear them, you be like, not even the song, just the beat itself. you'd be like, man, this beat was crazy. Like, you know what I mean?

1:01:03Certain songs have crazy intros. Like, you know what I mean? Like, even like Lean Back has the... Lean Back. Like, certain shit, like, it's just... You know what I mean? Like, it's so many beats, man, that I love. And I love hip-hop for that. You know what I mean? I love that it connects with you on a musical level before sometimes somebody even say anything. So, you know what I mean? I mean, it's too many to name for me, but Strict Ones was our number one because it was just like a beat that I felt like anybody who's been a fan of hip-hop, you know that beat as soon as it come on. But was that like the Benjamins when you first heard that?

1:01:43He didn't like the Benjamins. He didn't like the beat? A lot of beats like that I heard. Like the people that actually did the big songs, they be like, I wasn't doing that beat at first. We didn't like it. I love how they flipped that the beat for big I've been there skills and that feels hard to figure me you know I don't know the words man don't play with me you know you don't ask the mean beats with Buckshot Shorty anything step off me cling to me guns I got your open remix beat I love that It was like a jazz, but... It was like a hip-hop jazz. That was when I used to listen to... I used to go to school with a Walkman.

1:02:35And I used to listen to hip-hop. And then you'd be in this trance, you'd jump on a train or the bus, and hip-hop used to be your soundtrack to... You know what I'm saying? I just told that story. I used to hop the train with the Walkman, I mean, that was when I'm, you know, well, I don't want nobody to kill me because all my Queens guys, that bridge is over. That beat.

1:03:05That's one of the ones. KRS, John? Yes. I just ran into KRS in a crazy place. It was the first time we talked about hip-hop in Europe, in Latvia. Latvia? Latvia. I had never even heard of this place before. That sounded like coffee, bro. Yeah. So I ran into KRS there, and we was just talking how, like, I don't, I've never really connected with him, like, and we live in New York. But we here, I was like, hip-hop brought us to the same place, and we were able to connect here and just talk and kick it. But, like, I see him in passing. I might say, yo, what's up? You know what I mean? But we never really got to, you know what I mean, kick it.

1:03:50That's my fucking dawn. That's my king, man. KRS-One. That man taught me everything. Just the other day, the sound fucked up in Baltimore for, like, a good 10, 15 minutes.

Legend like, boom, number one point. I had to get in that straight KRS-One bag. Because KRS, he from a different era. Yeah, he'll go freestyle. he'll do whatever he gotta do to make to make sure the performance is what it's supposed to be I also like he had his daughter with him his daughter was like his photographer camera so I like seeing that in hip hop too when we at the age where our kids can work with us you know I went to the rookie joint I remember your sons used to be in the rookie joint yeah they got to a point they was too old they say oh yeah I ain't walking in there.

That's different, right? If I'm at a private show, right? If somebody is going to say, hey, I got Fat Joe. And his friends are going to be like, really? You got Fat Joe? And he's performing tonight. That's a different type of talk. You talking like I got Fat Joe. What about that guy we did 4th of July? That niggas can't talk. I don't know. He's a good guy, Anthony. Anthony, I love you.
