Hip-hop hooray. Fat Joe brings together his peers in the star-studded video for “Pride N Joy” featuring Kanye West, Miguel, Jadakiss, DJ Khaled, Roscoe Dash, and Busta Rhymes. Joey Crack shot the video in Brooklyn with famed director Hype Williams. Each of his co-stars came through the studio to film their scenes including his “What’s Luv?” collaborator Ashanti. And it wouldn’t be a Hype video without some voluptuous video vixens.
“I think hip-hop needs to see unity,” said Joe. “This whole song been about unity, bring back that De La Soul, that Tribe [Called Quest].”
It’s nice that Fat Joe has had some longevity in his career but this effort will go awry. It will barely chart despite the amount of features. Nice try Joey Crack. @mutumboh

@Informed, Kanye!! Just WHY would you downgrade yourself with these group of HAS BEEN’S??!!! That is career suicide. Ashanti sounds horrible, girl haven’t been hot since 2003 “Rock Wit U”….This is a mess! I’m so disappointed in Kanye for associating with these has beens.
@MinajRules2012, Ashanti sounds horrible? Ashanti is the last cross over R&b artist that rnb had to this date …she use to be the # one black chick untill bey…she had it from like 00-05 give her her props, and how is this career suicide you sound dumb and young…these are all talented artist doing what they love…theirs always unity in the music white scene’s but people like you make it hard for unity in the black music scene!….grow up!…..i repsect each artist for their music and their talent and its nice to see that All these artist gave support!! Take it or not, Fat joe, and Ashanti have paved the way for some of these younger people so has been or not they both are legends!! Ashanti is one of the biggest selling Rnb artist from the last decade! and biggest R&b artist music had to date no rnb chick broke her records yet!and fat joe is one of the biggest PR rapper so come on grow up and cut the shit, music isnt a popularity contest!!!…grow up …then have the nerve to be a nicki fan smh! deff must be a child
@Nick, What are you talking about dude?? No shade to either Fat Joe or Ashanti, but they are in no way shape or form LEGENDS. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston.. Those are LEGENDS. That’s a term reserved for only a few and trust me, Fat Joe or Ashanti don’t fit the description.
@Tbozfan10, Inunderstan what your saying those are legend legends!!! But Ashanti is a r&b legend!! No one took r&b to the heights she did!!and fat joe is a legend in the latino market!!! He’s one o the most successful Rican rappers out there!!! Him and ashanti may have fell off but they both made big marks in the music industry, Ashanti breaking records, holding top spots in billboard 100, selling how she did, etc, and fat joe just doing it big….I know the legends your talking about but for the younger generation ( my generation (16) our legends are Ashanti Beyonce Rihanna Akeys, mjb, mc, Chris brown, fat joe, nelly, j z, naz, dmx, lil Kim, missy, kanye, lil Wayne busta rhymes Janet Jackson, brandy, Monica etc those are the legends to the younger crowed they did numbers been here for a while and all made marks!!! I under Stan what your saying but google legend and you’ll understand !
@MinajRules2012, The last time I checked, Kanye West hasn’t committed career suicide by working with B list superstars. Kanye West is coming off MBDTF which received universal critical acclaim, and Watch The Throne which went platinum, plus Kanye West has won 18 Grammy Awards, so Kanye West doesn’t have to prove himself anymore. It’s easy for you and everybody else to say Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, and Ashanti fell off because they are not selling platinum records and gold records like they use to, and their songs don’t get radio airplay nowadays, but Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, and Ashanti are still better music artists than half of the new rappers and singers in today’s music industry.
Why do ppl that have nothing going on for them except dealing drugs on the street always talk like their hot or something…This guy just lost some weight and now wants the whole world to see it too..smh

@Informed, ALL of you are stupid.
This is a great song and if he has the longevity you say he does do you think he still cares where he is on the charts.
Kanye would never be affiliated it it wasn’t hot.
Ashanti is not on the song she was just in the video. So @MinajRules2012 needs to read b4 speaking.
@Nick your whole argument is not a lie but nobody cares
DID ANY OF U READ THE POST. Joey said this was about unity in hip-hop.

I’m glad the video clarified who had what part. I was thinking Miguel was Kanye the whole time, he didn’t need the autotune.
