We consider ourselves at PC Magazine to be fairly authoritative when it come to product reviews. When we give a phone like the Helio Ocean four stars and an Editors' Choice, we figure people will pay attention. But let's face it, despite all of the state-of-the-art testing that we perform in our labs, PC Mag is severely lacking in what the French call, 'l'crunk.' Which is to say, a phone hasn't really been tested until it winds up in the hands of someone like Fat Joe.

The plus-size rapper takes the handset for a spin in this video--or rather a disembodied voice from off-screen feeds him instructions for operating the device, which he promptly fumbles through.

Why get a rapper to review a phone? Does Fat Joe's perhaps slightly-biased, if clearly unrehearsed, heaping of praise really constitute a 'review?' Important questions all of these, but first the most important: what the heck is Fat Joe doing in the back of a shoe store, in the first place?

Fat joe like shoes, he has a shoe collection, either that or he's getting exclusive access to shoes at a retail store, hence the reason he's in the back of the store. dang, put two and two together. If you saw Travis Barker in the back of a skateboard shop you could assume he collects skateboards, or whatever the heck he likes.

@Fat Joe fans: Thanks for clarifying that he's a shoe addict/junkie, and all the additional confirmations of that fact. But please explain; why IS he in that shoestore?

Good grief. With all the animosity in here, you would have thought they referred to a church as a whorehouse. Shoestore, "shoe closet," who cares? Fat Joe is a terrible rapper.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well where are you going to keep 100 shoes when your not wearing them???? In their dang shoeboxes. Lets say, for example you have 2 20 shoe racks in your closet, you take those out the box and keep them on the racks, and then when they get worn or your wearing other ones you take them off the rack and take some new ones out the boxs. It helps keep things organized. I mean even i have 2 boxes with shoes in them stored somewhere, and I dont colletc shoeboxes.
