Real Hip Hop Since 1977 said:

Real Hip Hop Approved.....

Forgive me Roots but that Papoose (Diss to Fat Joe) song is buy far the hardest diss song I've ever heard.....It's like Either x10....

I mean Pap went in on Fat Joe better than 50 did Ja-Rule, Cam, and Fat Joe.....

I pray this stays on wax because I know unless Fat Joe hire's ghostwritter to respond...There's nothin Fat Joe can say that would come close to Papoose diss song..... Fat Joe has a lot of material on Pap so this might be interesting if he responds....But Pap is deadly on the mic....

Pap need to sign wit G-Unit and get that good G-unit protection because this might get ugly.....RealTalk.
