00:00Hey, what's up y'all? This is Fat Joe. We are on Billboard and this is called behind the photo
00:13My big day, I promised my mother I would graduate one day
00:17I didn't know that somehow God would give me a doctorate
00:21Shout out to Lehman High School in the Bronx
00:23This is a very big day for me and it was such an honor for me to get it. I
00:29Flew right back to Miami the next day just to give my mother the diploma and tell her
00:35That I promised I would give it to her. So you don't know how things are gonna come, you know, God bless me in this way
00:46I need that
00:49You know
00:51for being such a
00:53Superstar being so lit right now. She's so humble in real time
00:58We shot the video to paradise behind Khaled. We jumped out in Washington Heights with no permits everywhere
01:06She never complained once she did the video
01:10Beautiful person I need that Brazil. Muito bem
01:17This guy's crazy, it's my brother Khaled this is a
01:23Football Sunday, I believe early in the morning in Orlando
01:26This is just before he crowd surfed in the crowd.
01:31I was so terrified for him because he really jumped out there. I had the students carrying him throwing him up in the air
01:39But you already know that's my brother. We the best. Yes
01:47It's me and my idol LL Cool J. I would never rap if it wasn't for LL Cool J. He inspired my whole life
01:54Um, he's always mentored me and giving me knowledge to go to the next level
01:59So shout out LL Cool J. James Todd Smith my brother. I love you
