Fat Joe is celebrating his 54th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper Fat Joe (Another Round, Make It Rain, What's Luv?, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 54th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Fat Joe, a cultural icon

Born Joseph Antonio Cartagena in New York on August 19, 1970, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Fat Joe's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Joe hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Fat Joe as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 54.

Happy Birthday, Joe, you're the best!
