Fat Joe – I’m Ill Freestyle | Mediafire

This popped up yesterday but I forgot to post it. Here he discusses QD3′s documentary The Carter with Ozone‘s Julia Beverly.

There was some controversy over the release of The Carter documentary. Did you feel like they emphasized the drug addiction aspect too much? Is that the reason you didn’t want it released?
The fact that we didn’t want it released was business; paperwork. I feel like, if I agreed to have that camera around me, then I can’t tell that person what to edit when they go to the editing room, unless I am in the editing room and editing with them. If I’m not then I shouldn’t complain, but I was supposed to have a say-so because I had to approve it. And that was the whole [problem]. I didn’t approve it and they still put it out.

So you weren’t happy with the creative aspect or the business or both?
It was some of both. There were females on there with me and sh*t, you know? Why give them some shine when I’ve got baby mothers? I believe as an editor or whatever, as a person associated with me, if you want to become a real business partner with me I believe you should consider things like that. I shouldn’t have to be the one to consider it.

Vibe caught up with Just while he was out on the left coast to ask him about some new Eminem album, but not before they asked him about their Greatest Producer of All Time bracket, to which he simply replied: “It’s cool. Vote for who you like.” As far as Recovery goes, he had this to say about the working process:

“I have a few more songs that I have to finish mixing,” Blaze said. “It’s a great experience working with him, he’s such a hands-on artist… Most artists come in and rap and the rest is up to you. It’s good to collaborate with someone on the other end of the spectrum.”

(or the interview as how he would put it:)

Hype Vibe reporter: so do you have any comments on the all time producer brackets and competition?!?! Me: No… HVR: well how about a message to the fans!? U know like “vote for mee!!!” Me: No…. *crickets* HVR: um yeah great!! Soo.. How was it working on thhe project with alchemist. That album u guys did.. What was it like. . Me: ??

This shit knocks. Shouts to J. Cole & Elite for spazzing on this beat.
