So the Mr. Cartagena recently spoke to Mr. LaPuma over at Complex about a number of topics, including but not limited to: his new album, Ron Browz & autotune, him riding Lil Wayne’s wave, being absent from the recent D.I.T.C. album (he says he didn’t even know it dropped), and how he feels about the criticism coming from Big Pun’s widow.

Complex: Speaking of Pun. His wife has said in interviews that you’re not keeping his memory alive. How hurtful was that to you, and how did you take that?

Fat Joe: I don’t care. I don’t care what she says to me. Not keeping Pun’s memory alive? If I don’t keep Pun’s memory alive, who does? You know everything I do, I represent Big Pun. If I won an award, I represent Big Pun. I’m the only one who says Big Pun is the best rapper on earth. If I don’t rep Big Pun, then who reps Big Pun?

But the most eyebrow raising, awe inspiring, *blank stare* inducing quote from the entire interview comes just as Joe and Joe were about to hang up the phone:

Complex: Cool man, thanks for taking the time, good luck on the album.

Fat Joe: Thanks man, I appreciate it. Keep a tight ass, buddy.

Complex: [Blank Stare, hangs up]

LMAO…really Joe? Good grief.
