Would have been a dope EP (2and 1/2 stars)

"Im sorry but Fat Joe ruined what could have been his best work to date with corny commercial filler. The good news: Damn, Think About It and Story To Tell are the type of songs Fat Joe should have been making all along because he actually spit some dope bars on those tracks. No Drama(Clap & Revolve) has a sick beat provided by The Runners but Joe's rhymes were mediocre on that track. The same thing can be said about Hard Not To Kill. Bendicion Mami is a touching tribute to his mother and is one of the better songs. Unfortunately it goes downhill from there. The bad news: Pandemic wasnt bad lyrically but the beat is insanely corny. Lil Wayne makes two appearances on here(Make It Rain and The Profit). Make It Rain is easily the worst song on the album and that is the wackest beat that Scott Storch has ever produced. The Profit is flat out boring while Lil Wayne spouts brilliant lines like "even the sun shines on dog s***". Jealousy, She's My Mama and Breathe And Stop feat The Game are incredibly boring. Breathe And Stop not only butchers a sample of Bob Marley's War, it also has Fat Joe taking a swipe at 50 but the song is bland that you could care less. Bottom Line: Me, Myself and I is better than Fat Joe's previous works but it's just as forgettable as his previous works. If Fat Joe would have shaved it down to lets say 6 songs this might have been a dope EP and his best work to date. But he put too much filler in here and this album suffers because of that. Oh well Joey, back to the drawing board. Standouts: DAMN, NO DRAMA, THINK ABOUT IT, BENDICION MAMI and STORY TO TELL."
