Who would have thought back in 1996 when Fat Joey Crack was ripping mics as part of the legendary Diggin’ In The Crates crew that one day he would be nominated for a Grammy. Probably not even Joe.

“Just call me ‘G.N.’ man,” Joe said after learning of his nomination for “What’s Luv?” “’Grammy Nominated,’ thats the new nickname. I wasn’t expecting it at all.”

The nomination is for best Rap/Sung Collaboration as he had Murder Inc’s Ashanti on the hoook. “If I win, it’s over,” he said. “Don’t nobody wanna see this n—a win ’cause I’m losing it. I’m screaming, ‘The Bronx!’ I’m screaming, ‘Boriqua!’ Wow, it’s over. If I win it’s a problem.” Let’s just hope Joe keeps his shirt on.
