The Elephant in the Room is the eighth album by Fat Joe. It was released on March 11, 2008. Guest artists and producers include Dre, Lil Wayne, Jackie Rubio, Pooh Bear, Swizz Beatz, J. Holiday, Plies, DJ Premier, KRS-One and Opera Steve.

"The Crackhouse" was the first song made available to the public prior to the album's release—a "street banger", according to Fat Joe. It also can be heard on the game Grand Theft Auto IV^[1]—but the first actual single was "I Won't Tell" featuring J. Holiday, which peaked at number twelve on Billboard magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.^[2]

There are two versions of the song "300 Brolic". One is a 2007 version which was the original version (which can be heard on YouTube), and then there is the album version in which the beat is changed. On January 30, 2008, Fat Joe added a music video for 300 Brolic to his MySpace page, and in May, Fat Joe revealed his second single off the album (the fourth overall) Ain't Sayin' Nothin' as a video, with a sample of Cocababy at the end. In June 2008 the official remix of Ain't Sayin' Nothin' was leaked onto the net. It features The Game & Lil Wayne. The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200, with 46,125 copies sold. The album has sold about 100,000 copies to date.
