Fat Joe's first single off his eleventh album is, "Another Round," a collaboration with Chris Brown. The Another Round Songfacts reports that it was his first Hot 100 hit for four years.
Fat Joe has also had major beef with his ex TS Crew member Cuban Linkz who was a part of Fat Joe TS Crew until they had a disagreement about money royalties and the pair had a fight and Fat Joe knifed Cuban Linkz on the side of his face. The beef has quiet down now but they are no longer friends and nor do they speak to each other.
What's Luv?

Woo! Yeah, slow down, baby
Let you know from the gate I don't go down, lady
I wanna chick with thick hips that licks her lips
She can be the office type or like to strip
Girl, you get me aroused how you look in my eye
But you talk too much, man, you're ruinin' my high
Don't wanna lose the feelin' 'cause the roof is chillin'
It's on fire and you lookin' good for the gettin'
I'ma rider, whether in a hoodie or a linen
A provider, you should see the jewelry on my women
And I'm livin' it up, the Squad stay fillin' the truck
With chicks that's willin' to triz with us, uh
You say you got a man and you're in love
But what's love gotta do with a little menage?
After the par-tay, me and you
Could just slide for a few and she could come, too
That's love

Mami, I know you got issues, you got a man
But you need to understand that you got somethin' with you
Ass is fat, frame is little
Tattoo on your chest with his name in the middle, uh
I'm not a hater, I just crush a lot
And the way you shake your booty, I don't want you to stop
You need to come a little closer, closer
And let me put yo, under my arms like a Don is supposed ta
Please believe, you leave with me
We be freakin' all night like we was on E
You need to trust the God and jump in the car
For a little hard eight at the Taj Mahal
What's love? (got to do, got to do with it, babe)
What's love? It's about us, it's about trust, babe
What's love? (got to do, got to do with it, babe)
What's love? It should be about us, it should be about trust, babe
Yeah, uh, yo, I stroll in the club with my hat down (What's love?)
Michael Jack style, hot steppin', who the mack now?
Not my fault that they love the kid
Might be the chain or the whip, I don't know what it is
We just party and bullshit, c'mon, mami
Put your body in motion, you got a nigga open
You came here with the heart to cheat
So you need to sing the song with me
All my ladies come on
When I look in your eyes, there's no stoppin' me
I want the Don Joey Crack on top of me (uh-huh)
Don't want your stacks just break my back (yeah)
Gonna cut you no slack, 'cause I'm on it like that (uh, woo, uh)
Come on (yeah yeah, y'all)
And put it all (yeah yeah, y'all) on me (put it on ya, girl)
On me (I'ma put it on ya, girl)
What's love? (got to do, got to do with it, babe)
What's love? It's about us, it's about trust, babe
What's love? (got to do, got to do with it, babe)
What's love? It should be about us, it should be about trust, babe

What's love? (got to do, got to do with it, babe)
What's love? It should be about us, it should be about trust, babe
What's love?
The lyrics to Fat Joe's song "What's Luv" speak about love and trust in a different manner than one might expect. Joe Crack the Don is accompanied by Ashanti, Terror Squad, and Irv Gotti, as they question what love has to do with trust and being about us. Joe's lyrics begin by stating that he simply wants a woman with thick hips and licks her lips, whether she's an office type or a stripper. He admires her appearance but prefers to keep the conversation light, as he doesn't want to ruin the moment. Joe speaks about his lifestyle and how he's living it up while flirting with women, despite their relationship statuses, and alluding to the possibility of a little menage.
In the second verse, Joe addresses a woman with a man and the issues that come with trying to have fun while being taken. He acknowledges her assets and the tattoo of her significant other's name on her chest, all while ensuring that he's not a hater, but rather someone who's crushing on her. He encourages her to come closer and let him take care of her like a Don is supposed to. He sings about the little hard eight at the Taj Mahal, signaling his wealth while giving her an idea of the luxurious experiences he can afford her.
The chorus repeats, asking what love has to do with trust and what it should be about us. It's an unapologetically flirtatious song with a hint of lasciviousness, celebrating the idea of having a good time and enjoying pleasures without the need to attach love to it. Fat Joe and Ashanti's vocals blend well together, enhancing the nightclub environment that the song caters to.
