THE LOWDOWN While an entire nation leaned back last year, Fat Joe was already working on a proper solo disc to build on his large success. ''It usually takes me two months to make an album,'' he says. ''[But] it took me a year to make this one.'' The Scott Storch-produced new single ''Get It Poppin''' (featuring Nelly) continues his club-friendly formula, but ''My Fo Fo'' is a hard-smacking retaliatory shot at 50 Cent (who takes some swipes at Joe on his latest album). ''I wasn't gonna [respond],'' says Joe. ''But the fans wanted it. They wanted to see blood in the hip-hop coliseum.''
