I’m kinda surprised no one remembers what the beef was about between Fat Joe and Masta Ace. Masta Ace the story goes that Masta Ace was making fun of Puerto Rican rappers. Fat Joe came to one of his conserts, on stage, and smacked him.

Nice One Robbie!
One of my all time favourite Mc�s!
Had the opportunity to see him live some years ago. After the show Ace signed my copy of his first album, and I could really feel his pride and happiness when he recognized how much time has passed since that classic…
What a humble & respectable person!

yeah thats what I thought-but ny graff was still popping off on the streets in the 90s (pre-Giuliani).

keatso ase didnt start writin until mad late(90′s) and started talkin all this graff stuff around the time of slaughtahouse… that was joes beef. Diamond and Joe used to write together in the eighties way before ase ever got up.

Both “Ase” and “Crack” were active writers and had ups in NYC well into the 90s.
I remember Crack was on the BQE-Fat Joe actually bombed highways.
Ase was up on some gates and alleys in Midtown Manhattan…

any spotlight on ace is good. the man’s been rocking for 20 years steady with quality hip-hop and his lyrics, topics and overall humanity have always stood out for me. one of the nicest most consistent mc’s.

and to the cat that mentioned brooklyn battles.. that’s my joint too.

peace

gstatty – I’m not sure where my obsession with the TJ Swan album came from to be honest – could be because Marley used to hype it up in interviews all the time.

mercilesz – the beat is off Original Concept’s ‘Knowledge Me’.

that interview was nice, good to hear from such a legend, i’d love to hear a marco polo masta ace collabo album, and Robbie, i know you are a closet R&B fan when you talk so longingly about TJ Swan in every other interview wit bell biv devoe and en vogue posters on your wall man, haha just playin, but no really, if you keep dropping interviews on us like this, its really over for everybody on the best hip hop journalist ever tip, fuck all them tv rap magazines, they ain’t sayin shit worth readin for the most part

Top notch interview, Robbie. I think a lot of rappers could learn from Ace about the importance of a good live show.
I saw EMC in BK earlier this summer for the Crooklyn Dodgers concert, they tore it down.

“Nice interview. I never realised that it wasn’t Biz on ‘Me & the Biz’. I need to get my ears syringed.”

I’m with End Level Boss on that one. but unlike him, theres no way I’d admit it

Robbie I really wish you would have asked Ace about his track”4 minus 3″from”Take a look around”,remember that line-”I’m not carin/don’t mind tearin/a cocaine pushin/dapper dan wearin/braids in ya hair/neck fulla of cables/my Dj laughs when you touch the turntables.Man that was aimed at Eric B.,and it makes sense since Ace and Kane was real cool back then,and Ra and Kane had that subliminal war going on.Great interview though.
