Fat Joe explains why Eminem VS Jadakiss rap battle will never happen

In the recent episode of Joe and Jada podcast, Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by standup comedian and Mad TV alum Aries Spears. Joe and Jada ask Aries about Ice Cube and 50 Cent going after him after he criticized Cube’s acting, his incredible impressions of Tony Soprano and NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, what he thinks about T.I. trying out standup comedy, and his story about running into DMX backstage at a Jay-Z show.

The three New Yorkers also talk about the style-jacking going on in modern hip hop, why The Notorious B.I.G. doesn’t always get the respect he deserves from Gen Z, and some of the run-ins Joe and Jada had with Mike Tyson back in the day.

At one point of the interview, Aries Spears expressed his desire to see top-tier lyricists like Eminem and Jadakiss doing a rap battle. Fat Joe explained why it will never happen: “The guys that get the most respect, they have unscathed resumes. You gotta understand that these guys go this type of egos where they not trying to take no type of L.” said Fat Joe.

Then he continued: “In the battle rap, ain’t no professional rapper. You ain’t going to find top-tier rappers trying to battle for any amount of money. Jadakiss, Eminem… They are not doing that s–t because nobody wants that blemish on a record. Once you catch the L and you are on the video, good luck walking around the same way you walk around.”
