Fat Joe sits down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN and gets into the one subject that
never goes away: why there's still no Big Pun documentary or biopic. His answer
is that the holdup isn't him. Joe says he handed every right he had back to Pun's
family and doesn't own a dollar of it, and that the people now trying to build
something off the estate want him to do the work for free while the family wants
his name nowhere near it.
From there he makes his case on loyalty, that everybody who came up with him
came out with something, that he stood on business when he had beef with 50 Cent
and Jay-Z at the same time, and that the people telling a different version of
his history are lying. DJ EFN asks whether there's any road back, and Joe says
there is exactly one: he'll do the Big Pun movie the day Pun's wife says publicly
that he never took anything from that family. He also talks about Chris Rivers,
the Radio City tribute he put together for Pun, and the thing that still sits with
him most that in all the years Pun was alive, the two of them never had a single
argument.
