I was there first time in New York City we ever seen Eminem. He opened up for me and Pun at the Lyricist Lounge. The Outsidaz, group out of New Jersey. They brought him out and you knew he was special.” said Fat Joe.
Then he continued: “All them dudes got dreadlocks and all that and he was so skinny they was holding him by the back of his t-shirt so he don’t fly off the sage. He was just spitting so crazy, me and Pun, we all looking at each other like “OH MY GOD! WHO’S THIS WHITE BOY? THAT BOY CRAZY!’”
