Although I suspected that <strong>Jelly Roll<\/strong> and <strong>Vybz Kartel<\/strong> were carriers, apparently they&#8217;re a reggae dude and a producer, repsectively.<\/p>\n<p>As far as actual content of good songs&#8230;XXL has that awesome <strong>Fat Joe<\/strong> and <strong>Just Blaze<\/strong> team-up, while the Source have the decent but much less exciting <strong>AZ<\/strong> and <strong>Premier<\/strong> combination. The <em>Fat Tape<\/em> easily outshines the other in terms of cover artwork, but the fact that they included a song from <strong>Bone Thugs &#038; Harmony<\/strong> automatically cancels out any extra points that may have earned.<\/p>\n<p>The final verdict?
