There is an elite group of rappers that actually skipped past the weed carrier stage directly to weed owner status. One of these individuals is Fat Joe<\/strong>. In the early stages of his rap career, even Joe admits that he was a pretty bad rapper, but due to his intimidating stature he never had any problems getting on at open mic spots, since “kids were too shook not to applaud”. Diamond D<\/strong> (aka The Best Producer on the Mic) knew Joe, and produced a couple of Red Alert<\/strong> promos for the big guy before inviting him to appear on Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop<\/em>. To the untrained eye, it would appear that the plodding posse cut “Pass Dat Shit” from that album should have been titled “Meet The Weed Carriers”, since it featured Mike GQ<\/strong> and Whiz One<\/strong>, who I believe were part of The Pyschotic Neurotics<\/strong> (Diamond’s weed carriers), as well as Fat Joe Da Gangsta’s first appearance on record. But to suggest that Joe carried weed for Diamond at any stage is ridiculous, since D already had the Neurotics holding it down and I can’t imagine many kids having the nerve to ask Joe to carry ANYTHING, even if they’re producing his shit.<\/p>\n Before long, Crack started putting out his own albums with modest sales until he met his brother from another mother Big Pun<\/strong>. Not only did Pun help Joe improve his rap flow, he also brought him a whole team of weed carriers! Cuban Link<\/strong>, Armaggedon<\/strong> and Triple Seis<\/strong> were originally in a group with Pun called Full Eclipse<\/strong>, but Pun’s star power and new partnership with Joe saw them become the Terror Squad<\/strong> (which meant that they were now Pun and Joe’s weed carriers). Since Pun passed, the Terror Squad has undergone some changes, with Cuban catching a bad one from Joe for reasons not related to his weed carrying duties and then being replaced by female weed carrier Remy Ma<\/strong>. Since broads are often more effective carriers than the fellas (primarily because they’ve got more places to hide weed), this seem like a wise move on Cook Coke Crack’s part.<\/p>\n Despite the fact that Terror Squad’s “Lean Back” was a huge hit, it seems that the record-buying public is well aware of their weed carrier status, since the single’s popularity didn’t translate into big numbers on the album. This indicates that the Squad won’t be relived of their weed carrying duties any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is an elite group of rappers that actually skipped past the weed carrier stage directly to weed owner status.
