Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2) is the 9th album of American rapper Fat Joe, and is a sequel to his platinum album J.O.S.E..[1][2][3] After several delays, the album was released on October 6, 2009. The official album release party was thrown on October 15, 2009 by MyFirstSingle.com, where he performed Twinz (Deep Cover '98) for the first time since Big Pun died. [4] The album sold 8,800 copies in its first week and peaked on The Billboard 200 at #76 but failed to enter Top R&B/Hip Hop albums chart.[5]
History
On February 26, 2009, Virgin Records announced that this album would be released on April 7.[2] It was later delayed to May 19, late June, and September 22,[6] before Joe announced on his Twitter feed that the album would be released on October 6.[7] Fat Joe explained to XXL on May 22 that he delayed the album due to a lack of promotion.[8] The day of the label's announcement, Fat Joe held a listening party for the album.[9] Prior to the release of the album on October 6th, rival 50 Cent, issued a number of viral videos poking fun at the album as it was about to be released. Fat Joe replied with messages via his Twitter page, saying;
"50 is sick that my album is so hot. That real music! Not that wack stuff him and his clowns are making."
Fat Joe also appeared on New York radio station Hot 97, where he thanked 50 Cent for the “free promotion” for J.O.S.E. 2.
Many people believed Fat Joe's career to be 'dead' after selling so few copies of the album, or so many people thought. But they were wrong, because many people now believe Fat Joe will release the greatest album of all time in 2010.
Singles
The first single was "One" featuring Akon; Fat Joe commented that his marriage inspired this song.[10] "One" peaked at #74 on the Billboard R&B chart. The second single is "Aloha" featuring Pleasure P and Rico Love.[11][12]
