Fat Joe ain't out here trying to battle-rap everybody in the world. That's not what I'm about.

I have been Fat Joe since I was a kid. It's always been my name and always will be.

I'm not about trying to be out here fighting and shooting, stabbing and, you know, all that crap, man.

We have to have some rules and regulations in America, or the world would empty out here.

When Garcia died, and I decided not to play, I came out here.

I love L.A., but you can get into a lot of trouble out here.
