Fat Joe has seen it all in the rap game and he has dished out some sobering career advice for artists trying to make it in the industry.

Joey Crack took to Instagram Live over the weekend where he essentially told aspiring rappers it’s time to get a consistent job as their “plan A” in life if their rhymes aren’t bringing in a check.

“If your man said he raps and he don’t have a deal. There’s a problem with that,” he told the ladies in the virtual audience. “It’s called plan A, get a job. Plan B, hope you make it. This has never changed.

“Some guys be like, ‘I gotta get a regular job?’ Bro, you gotta get a job! If you got kids and you got this girl that got an apartment and y’all sexin’ it up every day, you got to pay some bills.”
