Why Isn't Fabolous A Superstar?


Despite Fabolous' multi-platinum selling status, he's not a rap superstar. You won't find Fab's face carrying the sales of a magazine or his name selling out a major concert.

But why is that?

Your boy has the flow. He makes pop songs for the ladies and still reps hard on the mixtape scene, which maintains his cred with the hood. What F-a-b-o is lacking is a good backstory.

We all know 50 Cent was shot 9 times, and Eminem gained pre-fame respect through the battle ranks. Those backstories are not just good enough to sell magazines, it was good enough to make into movies. Fab's couldn't stand on its own on a mixtape DVD.

So here's my advice to the young stunna on getting his extra-curricular rep up.

1. Date a model, female rapper, or R&B singer. It's working for Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne.

2. Get shot. After Cam and Obie Trice got hit, their stock rose two-fold. Look for the Harlem diplomat on the cover of the next XXL magazine. The tricky thing is, not to shoot someone back. Just ask Beanie Sigel and Cassidy.

3. Start a battle. Where would KRS-ONE be if he didn't pick a fight with Shan? And we all agree the fued between Nas and Jay-Z rejuvenated both of their careers in one shot. Fabolous needs a solid, non-violent battle to get himself to the next level. it's the Hip-Hop way.

Why do ya'll think Fab isn't an a-list rapper?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. Y AINT HE A STAR?

Posted by: UDONTKNOWME at January 18, 2006 2:15 PM

Yo Fab is my nigga.. hes in my top ten of rappers.. but i definetly feel wut u sayin.. I think he not looked at as a 50 cent cuz he dont come out as much as they do.. it would help sales if he stuck wit a model chick or sumthin but maybe dats not wut he want... as a artist u gotta stay tru to yaself.. nowadayz all niggaz care about is sales.. look at 50.. he even sed "if my record sales slow ima show u my dick" its dat serious?

Posted by: alwayzfresh365 at January 18, 2006 2:15 PM

he might wanna stop sipping on that granite juice and eating them cement sandwiches and take time to do something with his fucking grill. fuck that dude man. he seems like he lacking personality and charisma which is how people market you.

Posted by: hmmmm??? at January 18, 2006 2:18 PM

STAYING TRUE TO HIS SELF DONT SEEM TO BE WORKING FOR FAB. ITS TIME FOR PLAN B

Posted by: IM-JUST-SAYIN at January 18, 2006 2:19 PM

He's too low key. He tried the battle thing (wit Game remember) but it aint work out. I think he's too low key. If he was to come out like Hov did and be like..."Im Dat Nigga!" den he might be aight. He is the truth tho...hes kinda like a Common or a Kweli. They are great mcs...just not cocky.

Posted by: apr0bl3m at January 18, 2006 2:21 PM

yeah but common and kweli market they selves though. That's what fab need to do, but his time is running out. it's sad to see him go down the tubes, but you only get so many chances to put out an album and go big b4 niggas start laughing at you. in today's rap game, being low key and keeping to yourself wont get you very far. you gotta come out and act like ya shit dont stank, be loud and be heard. i dont know why he never picked up on that.

Posted by: say, say, say what? at January 18, 2006 2:25 PM

He's inconsistent.
He'll hit you with a hot song then a bullshit song. He only drops every other year and he get's no real push from his label. I actually compared him to L.L. once, except without the muscles and personality. The dude is sick though, if he let's his mixtape persona carry over to his album he could actually grab hold of a solid fan base.

Posted by: D.Reed at January 18, 2006 2:28 PM

Fab is a great rapper, but he does lack personality. Everytime I see him on t.v doing interviews, he is dry and boring. I really dont know why his career never went to the next level. Perhaps on this album, no matter how much the top rappers suck, he should collab a bit to gain popularity.

Posted by: annonymous at January 18, 2006 2:30 PM

fabolous is a very talented rapper and he still got the money so fuck the respect because he is still doing his thing and he is grantee to go a least gold

Posted by: dubz at January 18, 2006 2:36 PM

EVERYBODY DROPPIN KNOWLEDGE ON WHY FABOULOUS AINT BLOW IS CORRECT!!!

THE FABOLOUS I HEAR ON MIXTAPES IS CRAZY! BUT THE FABOLOUS I HEAR ON MAINSTREAM IS LACKING THAT FIRE HE BRINGS ON THE MIXTAPES.

MY ADVICE: SAVE THE NEXT MIXTAPE AND PROMTE THAT SHIT LIKE IT WAS YOUR ALBUM SON. IF THE WORLD WAS EXPOSED TO THAT, NO DOUBT HE WOULD BLOW.

Posted by: GET OUT MY BIZNESS at January 18, 2006 2:36 PM

D.Reed hit it right on the nose; He is inconsistent...Fab can spit, BUT he'll be quick it hit you with a lame azz song. He spits on the new Bleu, and Jezzy song "Streets on Lock" but at the same time give you some lovey dovey sh*t...I phuck with Fab...(Brooklynite and all) but, he needs to step his game up..

Posted by: KLO at January 18, 2006 2:40 PM

Hes not a star cuz that niggas borderline wack! The ONLY song i EVER liked by him was Breathe. He has a'right rhymes, but seriously, his delivery sounds gay like a few of the newer east coast rappers. Now i love The East Coast as much as anyone, but Fagalus, postarboy, j.hood, and joe buddens have that same weak ass whine in their voices when they punchline. I noticed joe aint doing it as much anymore. Must be a Dj Clue thing. Between the weak ass lyrical delivery and those wack radio songs whats left?
A lackluster performer.

Fablous is about the only rapper i listen to on the east coast. I think it dosen't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he deserves to be a superstar, i thought he already was.

Posted by: GA Dude at January 18, 2006 2:51 PM

Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne are dating???
I guess Lil Weezy goes on top

Posted by: Timothy O'Riley III at January 18, 2006 3:09 PM

LISTEN & LEARN PT.1
Fuck Dat Fab is a superstar he's been spitting nice shit since he stepped on the scene i'm not really felling the R&B part of his game but the rest of the shit he's bringing is nice niggas always trying to say he stole Mase Murda style and shit like that but he just doing his own thing he got a "jackin 4 beats" shit with The Game out that was fire when it hit the mixtapes a while back he kind of brought Jeezy out on the mainstream a little bit with that track " do the damn thing" on that real talk in 2004 come on man it ain't all about Pretty Ricky and that 12 year old bullshit certain niggas don't want to be in the mainstream position if it avolves putting out lovey dovey bullshit tracks he kepping it real on the mixtape vibe listen and learn niggas

Damn that sounded more like the 3 reasons why you would neva blow fabolous.
You wanna fix his tooth, you want him to hang around with REAL MEN. and you want a guy with a manly name

fuck chevy g. hustle (no homo)

Posted by: EW at January 18, 2006 3:13 PM

I hate when people say they want him to drop that mixtape type heat on albums...because if he did it would go double wood cause y'all won't cop. Niggas don't cop shit, he's making album music for people that BUY albums -Becky and Peggy Sue who will go to the mall with daddy's money and spend $16.98 at FYE or Tower. When Cassidy started spiting mixtape shit on albums, he bricked - so did Ja Rule. Some rappers can't help but spit mixtape shit that's why they won't ever sell ala Jae Millz, Jae Hood etc.

Jay-Z is cocky but has the personality of a door knob. He will never be as entertaining as a Luda, Snoop, 50, X-hibit or Busta charaterwise, that's why you'll never see him in a film.

Posted by: Regina at January 18, 2006 3:19 PM

@ chevy G. hustle. Yo, thats probably the main reason why this fool won't blow cause he came up with DJ Clue. Has that nigga done anything but look stupid on MTV since he dropped Professional 2 in 01? But real talk, Fabo (spell that shit) skills aren't the best and his flow is hella easy, but he makes hits and I don't know why, but I like most of his songs. And I can help him get shot if he come thru D town, I'll bring it back to 99 with the jooks.

Posted by: HighLife (Nig Laden on u hoes) at January 18, 2006 3:19 PM

True Fab isn't a rap superstar in everyone's eyes, but he does sell platinum everytime he drops. He came out killin the mixtape scene and makes good songs. To me he is a rap superstar he just doesn't do what everybody else is doing. He has his own style and he should stick to his formula as long as he is sellin records.

Posted by: Bunz at January 18, 2006 3:23 PM

The problem with Fab, is that he has NO story. Jay-Z has a story, Eminem has a story and so does 50. They have a story and you have to know how to market it. Plus, he needs to be more versartile in his mainstream raps. Jay-Z and Emine can rap about anything and have!
If I ask you, whos is Fab?? What do you say? A good punchline rapper?! Plus he needs to handle BUSINESS, he needs to market himself in other fields, start clothing lines, star in movies and get his image out there. I know you're saying, fuck how many more rappers need clothing lines? But the bottom line, is he needs to expand his brand and profile.

peace......check out www.artefis.com

Posted by: mark anthony at January 18, 2006 3:23 PM

Fab needs a clique...he needs a verse on a g-unit on a d-block on a Roc collabo..he has no crew no back up and no muscle...at least puff walks around with people that shoot...

Posted by: Dead prez at January 18, 2006 3:26 PM

this nigga fab aint a superstar for 3 simple reasons.

1: dude dont bring no character to his rhymes. his lyrics be hot shyt but he sounds like he just woke up frum a coma when he spits his bars. if you dont sound like u really wanna be rapping...whos gonna really wanna listen to you?

2: dude is too low key like my mans said. he doesnt demand to be hurd. if ur gonna be a superstar these days..u gotta have superstar traits.if fab aint promoten an album i forget he even exists.

3:fab was launced by way of dj clue. who da hell has dj clue ever turned superstar?

if ur gonna be a hip hop superstar these days..u gotta sho yo ass and be dat nigga demandin to be hurd. personally i dont thank fab does that because he doesnt want any other rappers turnin there attention to him because he'd be scared to start beef wit em. so he stays on hush mode.

Heres the best way to make Fabo blow up...

Put a bomb in the niggaz car

Posted by: Bin at January 18, 2006 3:39 PM

This is a good question cause I thought after "Breathe" that he was going to blow up. Then he came with "Baby" and all the ladies loved it, so all I guess the label has to take an L for that. Plus being an ugly nigga with bad dental work doesn't help.

Posted by: The Champ at January 18, 2006 3:41 PM

yo son, fab is making his albums at the female audience and they the ones spending the doe.

there aint no money in mixtapes just street cred, fcukin street cred dont pay the bills.

whether or not fab is a star he is one rich muthafcuka.

i fcuks with fab, he maaad nice with the flow and rhymes.

holla.

Posted by: STAMPEDER at January 18, 2006 3:45 PM

A lot of ya'll have good points, he sadly might need to pick out a beef, yeah date a model that's well know or r&b singer...I mean dude not ugly really...better looking than Wayne and Jeezy that's 4-sho. He is pretty low-key and might wanna step his uh publicity and flashiness up just a tiny bit. Fix that tooth. Think that's it.

Posted by: ebony at January 18, 2006 3:50 PM

I AGREE WITH ALOT OF YA'LL MOFO'S UP THERE fAB AINT & WILL NEVER BE A SUPERSTAR COZ 1.HE UNDER THAT CLOWN ASS NIGGA DJ CLUE

2.HE GOT NO BACKGROUND STORY, WE DON'T KNOW HIM.

3.HE NEEDS SOME MUSCLE, I MEAN HE NEEDS A CREW TO BACK HIM UP

4. HE NEEDS SOME PERSONALITY,HE TOO LOW KEY

FABOLOUS PLEASE GET RID OF CLOWN ASS DJ CLUE & MAYBE PEOPLE WILL TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

Posted by: Fidelcashflow at January 18, 2006 4:08 PM

first thing he need to do is hop on as many other artist albums as possible from now til his next cd drop. While on somebody's track, make one of them bitch this, suck that type tracks with one of the raunchiest out there. Do something that get him on MTV and MTV2 to get some of the caucasion attention. And do all this within a couple of months so he name/face be in everyone's mind when his joint drop.
The Plan.

Posted by: JP at January 18, 2006 4:55 PM

I love Fabo and I was thinking about this recently too, this is what I think is his problem.

1) He is signed to a small nobody label aka Desert Storm under DJ Clue who isn't promoting him properly or getting him out there. He might as well be signed on an independant label.

2) He doesn't have that flare, that style. He is basically a hot lyricist with no stage presence or no life around him. He is what Lloyd Banks would be if he didn't sign to G-Unit and get a cocky attitude by being around 50. Fabo is way too quiet and behind the scenes.

3) He has no crew releasing music non stop like G-Unit or DipSet so nobody remembers him after his 2 months on 106 and park when his album is first released.

If he fixed all of those things he would be a star. For right now once his rap career is over NOBODY will remember who he was. He will just be another rapper that has come and gone and won't be remembered.

Posted by: Real Talk at January 18, 2006 5:00 PM

Maybe he doesn't want to be a "superstar". Maybe he wants to push out a CD every now and then, earn some loot, and chill. He's a celebrity and he's quite paid AND he doesn't have to worry about getting shot or seeing his face platered in a tabloid. Personally, he's boring as hell to me, but people buy his music. Seems like he's living the American Dream.

Posted by: Smokie at January 18, 2006 5:08 PM

fab is wack i hope his punk ass never goes famous

Posted by: Hypnotiq at January 18, 2006 5:16 PM

"I can tell the way that your pockets are, that you ain't never had 100 grand unless it was a chocolate bar" Fabolous is one of the greatest. Only reason he isn't that big is because he isn't with commercial niggas. He brings out some commercial shit, but he don't fuck with people like 50 or them. Mase should squash the beef and 50 should sign Fabolous. But Fabolous would never do that because he's too much of a solo, 1 luv type nigga. "Niggas know where the heat is at, i leave em MIA, and i'm not talking where the Heat play at" another great Fabolous line. And i'm pretty sure that everyone can spell his name just like how everyone knows Mike Jones's telephone number...That's what pisses me off, people like Mike Jones are admired and sell more records than people like Fabolous who actually have talent...

Posted by: Z at January 18, 2006 5:16 PM

How is going platinum everytime not successful? maybe he's not superstar but he's doing alright. On that Smack DVD he had that nice apt in florida or something, he just wants to chill.

Posted by: Contra at January 18, 2006 5:24 PM

fabolous has no personality...

he's just not a person who people want to check on on a regular basis. he doesn't have the looks he needs to have young girls crazy about him, and he doesn't have anything really extravagant in his rhyming style to attact true heads. he's the wonder bread of new york hip-hop.

there's something else, too, but i can't really put my finger on it--early on in his career, right after his first single, he was perceived by a lot of young male listeners as being soft or a ho's rapper, not a man's rapper. i don't think he ever really recovered from that reputation.

anyways if it was my call i'd say he won't be in the news five years from now. just doesn't have the swagger or hype of a biggie/busta/em/50 type.

Yo, I think Fab will have his "coming of age" this year...I just think that he will ...i haven't any backing, just a "gut feeling"

However, if I was was his A&R or whoever takes care of his track listings, I'd go with this layout, the cd is called "Tyme Is Vital" (notice the gangsta ass way I spelled "time")

1.) Intro

3.) Hey (Produced by Timbaland)
4.) So Sincere (Prod. by Duro)
5.) Anytime, Anywhere (feat. Memphis Bleek (Prod. by Just Blaze)

Texas do me a favor. Name artist from the south who go platinum who's name isn't Luda, TI, Mike Jones or Outkast?

You keep saying the south is running rap, but none of them sell. I can release videos all day it don't mean nothing until someone buys the cd. Those southern artist are being raped but you are too dumb to notice it.

Record labels get 1 hot song from them and squeeze it for as many album sales as possible but ALL of those artist are selling 300,000 or less and have NO MONEY. Even Lil Jon got raped and he was doing the best besides Luda.

Posted by: Real Talk at January 18, 2006 9:12 PM

Man, you faggots kills me!!!!!! Fab don't need all that dumb-ass attention, he got millions, a sweet ass deal, owns his publishing, and goes plat every album......Why go and act a damn fool when you don't have to? Why do some fake hollywood dating type shit if you can already fuck any bitch you want? Why start beef when you're one of the FEW rappers nobody has a problem with? If Fab next album was on some "Candy Shop" bullshit and go 8x plat, ya'll be on his shit saying he crossed over and ya'll won't listen to him anymore! That's why the fuck he stays low-key.......That means NO BULLSHIT!!!!!!

Posted by: D-Block Inmate at January 18, 2006 9:31 PM

I know why faboulous hasnt blown yet its because he's content. I have met a lot of artist but every time i see fab it always the same he has all his jewels and no security. I think lloyd bank should cut my man a check cause he borrowed fad's flow even though his voice sounds a lil like pastor mase his flow and punchline's gives him my vote in that comparison. As far as beefin with someone why that cuts off paper for real i bet Ja rule had put 50 cent in the video now. Some people just know what the can handle and Fab is one. I buy all his albums

Posted by: dare devil at January 18, 2006 9:47 PM

Y'all nigga talking shit about fab are suckers. When somebody's spitting real shit you don't support him at all, and when he turns commercial y'all starting running your mouth. Please black people we need to support real hip hop if we don't want to loose this beautiful culture. Pick up NAS, 2pac, biggie and more.

Posted by: Big K at January 18, 2006 10:12 PM

Well that a good question. He is gonna have to strip down and cover his body with baby oil or K-Y jelly. The he must and I mean must switch his style up a cater to a grop of fans that knows not shit about the essence of Hip-Hop. He could even stop rapping for 5 years and go on a steroid binge and then come back, after someone shoot the shit out of him and miss all of his major organs. He would then have material to write about that attracts fans whom thinks he is some type of super hero. Naw that wouldn't work. Someone already has that title. Okay,I know, I know. How about Fab just say fuck it and keep doing what Fab do. I can't wait for that new disc to drop.

FAB IS ONE MY FAVOURITE RAPPER BUT I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MOST OF DA COMMENTS. YEA, MA MAN FAB SHOULD STEP HIS GAME UP. I DON'T MEAN HE SHOULD GO OUT AND ACT A FOOL LIKE GETTING SHOT OR SHOOTING SOME ONE LIKE WAT CASSIDY DID. TO DA NIGGA DAT SAID FAB SHOULD PUT SOMETHING OUT LIKE CLOTHING LINE OR SOMETHING REALLY GOOD U RIGHT DAWG. FAB SHOULD DO A GOOD BUSINESS ALONG WITH DA RAP SHIT JUST LIKE WAT HE WAS PROMOTING REEBOK BACK IN A DAYS, DOING A BUSINESS ALONG WITH RAP THANG WILL EXTEND HIS NAME. ONE THING I DON'T GET IS FAB KINDA SEEMS TOO SOFT ON BEEF, EVEN MASE IS TAKING SHOT AT HIM ON MISTAPE ON "CHECK CLEARED" BUT FAB AINT RESPONDING BACK.

Posted by: WEAPON X at January 19, 2006 12:34 AM

fab is the tracy mcgrady of the rap game.

you cant doubt his skill, he has top notch game, all the weapons around him:

t mac.-yao,alston,van gundy,and good role players

fab.-clue, good productions,great affiliation, and no knocks against him.


the problem is he lacks passion, even if he puts out a good album it almost sounds like hes just going through the motions.

if kobe had yao people would definitely consider them a championship duo. tmac has him and no one mentions anything about a title.

Posted by: lookathim at January 19, 2006 12:59 AM

>>>>>>>Fab got flows and all,and i think hes from the projects,but there's other certain elements that superstar rappers need to have.people have to feel that you are a speakin representative of the area that you say you are from. fab is good,witty,got punchlines and all,but nuthin that you aint heard b4. people also view him as a "cookie cutter" rapper,someone that has no personal stories,just general rap shit,"shootin niggas if they test you,former slangin,pullin hoes,big chains and whips. he isnt viewed as bringing anything substantial to the game,despite selling multiplatinum.also people in the hoods dont view him as authentic,as evidence to the fact that he got robbed in Roscoes out here in the west.if niggas rob you,that means you didnt have a gun on ya.and if ya did have a gun on ya,why'd ya not pull out on a bitch ass nigga?and just the fact that people tested you means they give a fuck about the hood credit you say you have.check the records,alot of entertainers think they have the hood sowed up,and they get robbed in malls!!malls dont even have metal detectors!!so in conclusion,if niggas think youre fabricated,whether you are or not,thats what people gonna think.its about how you carry urself.if you from the pjs,but look and act like a bitch,then niggas is gonna get at you.if you from the burbs(recent transports only)and carry yourself completely hood,people are going to relate to you.Keep in mind that mostly white girls buy rap music,so just cause he go platinum,dont mean the hood like him(e.g. 50 cent)

Posted by: MayorOfLosAngeles at January 19, 2006 1:25 AM

If you LISTEN to his music and not only hear it, you would know why he aint a rap superstar. He's a hustla. "Ask anybody around about tha green crack, a couple pulls will have u on tha lean back"

FAB is one of the only niggas just making music and we dont respect that.....BULLSHIT

i think its because even though he is street and was a hustler, he dosent glorify it like most, he just gives u whats on his mind at the time. it kinda feels like hes got that i aint gotta prove shit to u attitude cuz he knows what hes done in the streets and in between the beats!!!!!!!!

Posted by: blood bath at January 19, 2006 10:04 AM

I've been riding with Fab ever since he first started off at the #1 spot on clue mixtapes. Its a lot of dudes in the game right now who sample Fabs' flow.

Also, I don't understand how you're saying he's not a superstar. Maybe you're saying that because he doesn't have an album out right now. When "Holla Back" was out, along with all that shit featuring Lil mo, Jagged Edge and Mike Shorey - MTV, BET, radio stations all over, were flooded by his singles. "Breathe" was constantly on the radio also. Whenever he drops an album you can't go 5 minutes without hearing his singles. If that doesn't scream superstar then I dont know what does.

In conclusion, he doesnt need any gimmicks. All he needs is his flow, his style and his persona. Bottom line.

Posted by: caff at January 19, 2006 10:26 AM

Fab ain't blowing up because he just doesn't do enough to stay in the public eye. He gotta Diddy this thang a lil bit, yenno? Even when he don't have no product out he needs to be in the forefront of the fans thoughts... Be at the events, go get a interview on Hot 97 for no reason, etc, etc.

it's fucking amazing how much this nigga stays on yall mind....

and news flash...Fab is a super star..he is recognized everywhere he goes...

he just minds his own like a busta rhymes...

Posted by: You Condussed at January 19, 2006 10:46 AM

True Ashim, you're absolutely right.

Fab is a laid back, quiet dude. That's his persona. But I agree, he has to Diddy his way around the industry in between albums. Not controvery wise, but good publicity.

Like it or not, the memory of average, commericially driven hip hop fans is very short.

Basically, its out of sight, out of mind.

Real Talk: Lil flip, Juvenile, and Young Jeezy all platinum.

Fab ain't a supastar cause he rap for da ho's too much. er'time you see his video's he rappiin for da ho's. and he must've been feelin da pressure cause last album he came out a video for breathe first. but as da sayin goes too little too late so he went back to makin video's for da ho's with dat baby shit. Fab last album didn't go platinum and he almost didn't go gold til he dropped dat soft ass baby song.

Posted by: T-Cool at January 19, 2006 12:25 PM

fab is a real dude he stay tru to himself cause the nigga aint got to be a superstar or sell out to sell records he does what he does and it works he aint going wood every time it drop so it aint all bad personally i love the nigga fab i cant wait till he drop a new records cause the nigga is one of the best

Posted by: skimasksoldier at January 19, 2006 12:34 PM

T-cool has to be gay. how is making music geared toward WOMEN making music for hoes? if you think all women are hoes you are a homosexual. and fab does sell platinum. what is your point homo man?

Because he has to flex his spelling skills at least 3 times on every album. Dude is annoying.

Posted by: Yamammy at January 19, 2006 12:47 PM

Fab is my nigga. Stop hating, he got them classic shit. That Real Talk was a fuckin classic. I got love for my nigga Fab, one of the best from NY. The best from Brooklyn since Hov retired. NO nigga from BK can fuck with F A B O L O U S. But I still dont understand why he's not a superstar. I dont get that shit too.

on some of his latest songs because
yayo played him for trying to steal his talk of new york nickname while yayo was locked up

Posted by: gorilla unit cuz at January 19, 2006 4:25 PM

What does it take in todays times for people to respect anothers career without saying what they lack. Does an artist really have to break down another talented music maker for people to respect them. Music is not the streets. Its being taken there by people who use it for self promotion and strickly money making. Fab, is that nigga so maybe I'm bias by saying he is a superstar. If your a platinum artist in todays society it took both work and talent. He needs nothing else but to do what he's is good at, and that's making hot shit.

Posted by: DraftPic at January 19, 2006 4:47 PM

I think Fab is just a laid back nigga. He don't put too much of his personal life out in the open. I think he's content with his status otherwise he'd be changing up what he does to get more sales and fame. He probably could do stuff a normal person could do so he'd probably like to stay the way he is. Who knows?

Posted by: The CEO at January 19, 2006 5:14 PM

fabo aint a star because he fucking sucks...end of story

Posted by: neef at January 19, 2006 6:57 PM

First of all, Fabo does NOT suck. But the thing that hurts him is the fact that so many people rhyme like him - LLoyd Banks, Jadakiss, Joe Buddens. You can't just use clever punchlines and expect them to carry you through a career. A rapper, in order to be respected in today's age, needs to be able to switch up flo, content and style. I think the reason why his delivery sounds odd at times is because he's not confident when he's stepping out of doing what he does best, which is mixtape-type stuff. He needs someone to teach him how to write a song, rather than spit something you'd think was nice if you heard it on the corner. There's a difference between who can rap and who can make a good rap song. Think about Biggie, Pac, and Jay, those three can switch their styles and content without hesitation. Think of Biggie when he did "Notorious Thugz" and then think of him on "Juicy." Same dude, different styles. And that goes for Jay and Pac too. Fab, and a lot of rappers, need to understand that you actually need to earn your money and respect in the industry. He needs to work harder at making better hooks, stepping out of his comfort zone, and getting some confidence to try something else. I still think he would NOT be famous if his first single (You Can't Deny It) didn't have Nate Dogg on it. Nate Dogg gave him some flavor, but without that flavor, Fab just isn't confident in his own image to make it larger than music. He's a very talented guy, just not a great song writer. I think he needs to be himself, but just get more creative with his music. Right now, he's just doing his best Jadakiss impression, just with more style. He needs to talk about more real things, not just do things for the street and ladies. The street respects truth.

Posted by: Auroon at January 19, 2006 7:42 PM

Bottom line:

Fab is scared of beef. And he tries too hard not to offend anyone and just makes songs for the girls. And songs like Breathe that don't have any direction, but rather is just a confused mess of rhyming words and punchlines.

NO SUBSTANCE IN FAB'S MUSIC.

Posted by: Auroon at January 19, 2006 7:51 PM

His music doesn't match up to his name.

Posted by: hmm? at January 19, 2006 10:54 PM

While i do agree with some of the comments posted, i must say that a lot of you are missing the point. I love a lot of Fab's "girly" joints. They are his bread and butter, i wasn't really feeling "Breathe" cause that shit was too hard for me. The main reason why I even bring up Fabolous's name is because I think with his proven track record of great radio hits, he should be mentioned as one of the top ten rappers of all time.

Posted by: SOHH Hashim at January 19, 2006 11:07 PM

YO, TO ME, FAB IS THE EQUIVALENT TO A SKINNY WHITE DICKHEAD. HE SOUNDZ DA-DA-DA-DUM! JUST CUZ A NIGGA FROM THE HOOD, DONT MEAN HE A COOL CAT!

Posted by: EASY at January 20, 2006 4:12 AM

Fab used to battle all the time. He even beat Ali Vegas at one of the Blaze Battles. Yall need to get your facts straight before you start posting stuff like this.

Posted by: Trax at January 20, 2006 6:31 AM

What I think

1. He's one of the nicest rappers in the game.
2. The realest one in the game. (Fab's a humble person and isn't afraid to speak the truth. He also doesn't have to jump on badwagons like G-Unit to gain fame, he probably wants to make it on his own.
3. All of you that say what Fab raps about is the same as everyone else does is wrong. Ok he raps about chains, cars, and girls but you gotta admit it, that's what all (most)guys want. When Fab raps about it he gets mad creative about it (Shake It, D***, etc.)
4. He's unsure of himself or kinda shy. In interviews he doesn't really come out and talk a lot, he like to keep to himself.
5. 50 is a good businessman but that is all he is. 50 is not nice his career is based on getting shot up. And he just brainwashes every with rushed songs and videos. It's like every 3 weeks there's a new video with him.
6. Fab signing to G-Unit would ruin Fab's career. He would just be another guy in the background standing behind 50 and that's not what he is meant to be.
7. People hate on him cuz they hear the r&b songs and just ingnore his other music.

Posted by: Mike at January 20, 2006 8:26 AM

Okay, maybe I'm missing something. I really don't see what the big deal is about Fabo. I don't think he's creatively any better than Bow Wow and unfortunately they now have the exact same subject matter. And if thats all men want and think about, then y'all need to get to grow up. Real money is in assets not cars, it takes a real man to secure a family and take care of his own - anybody can get a woman to cut! He's a punchline rapper who came out imitating people who were hot. Jay-Z's image with Murda Mase's flow but without their personality or versatility. All of Fabo's song sound like the same thing with a different tempo and beat. His songs don't connect to anything and don't talk about anything specific. When I ask a Fabo fan about what one of his songs is about or what's the topic, they always say the same thing for every song - "He talking about that street shit!" What the fuck does that mean? How many street cats got the new Range Rover Sport? How many real dope boys, tell people about the work they move? Why do young cats think you can be school dumb and street smart and make real money? I can name 10 rappers better than Fabo in almost every category. Cats Fabo can't see Freestyling:
Eminem
Beanie Sigel
Jay-Z
Ludacris
Talib
Common
Canabis
Paper Boy
Mad Skillz
Game
Punchline rappers Fabo can't see:
Jadakiss
Jay-Z
Rass Kass
Cassidy
Bun B
Red Man
Method Man
Kurupt
Twista
Even Ja-Rule got more originality
These are current and alive artist and I could go on. The problem with Fabo is he's kind of lame and has no originality. All of his flows are spurts of punchlines that I've heard dozens of times before through the past. Most folks who freestyle just repeat combinations of hot lines they've heard in the past and Fabo wants to sell that shit! I already own it!

Posted by: 313rd at January 20, 2006 11:18 AM

this is the list of rappers you should be asking this question about:
1. Scarface
2. AZ
3. Obie Trice
4. Nas
5. Redman
6. Jadakiss (fuck it D-Block period)
7. Beanie Sigel

I challenge anybody out there to name one of these guys that fabulous spits better than.

Posted by: agercuz at January 20, 2006 11:28 AM

Fab is just a low key type dude, but the nigga is one of the nicest out. As far as a crew, the nigga does have REAL street muscle behind him, beleive that shit. That's probably why he's so low key (think about it)And as far as guest appearances he's fucked with a lot of a-list artists. It just seems like he don't wanna go outside his personality, which is respectable in this day and age.

Posted by: PC at January 20, 2006 11:54 AM

Oh yeah, don't yourself 313rd talking that hoe shit. You don't know what assets that man has or what he does for his family or woman. That's when a punk ass opinion becomes bitch ass hating. Don't try to represent my city with that bullshit. How the fuck do YOU know what type of work that man has. I can't stand a lame ass broad. BOSS DOWN... LINWOOOOOOOOOOD

Posted by: PC at January 20, 2006 12:05 PM

ACTUALLY FAB REALLY AIN'T SCARED OF BEEF. I THINK HE TRIES TO AVOID CAUSE BEEF IS PLAYED OUT BUT HE DISSED PASTOR MA$E ON THE CLUE TAPE "NEW YORK GIANT" ON THE FIRST FREESTYLE ON IT:

Posted by: Johnny at January 20, 2006 1:22 PM

Well, PC the first clue that a person really ain't out here like that is that they talk about it and nobody locks they ignorant ass up. Real killers move in silence and violence. If you really out here doing it, you ain't even got time to talk about it. Slangin a couple of sacks here and there and hugging the block for re-up money don't make you a boss or a hustler just stupid. Most of these dudes would make more money working as a manager at McDonald's! Any real Linwood nigga, that know about a real hustle know its only three ways out of that motherfucker too. You die, you die in prison, or you wake the fuck up and change your life. You don't make a rap albulm about it because that brings real wolves to your door. The real B&E men only stick up hustlers and dope dealers cause they can't call the police for help. That's why these lame niggaz talk about it instead of be about it and they crew is stacked full of 6'10 400 pound niggas that put in all the work. But a real Linwood nigga would know the difference between a real boss and a college drop out with a nice vocabulary. Like Nas said "Real niggas, die over dumb shit!" Cassidy is a real nigga! And thats why he is where he is. Young Turk, Mystikal, C-Murder, Trick-trick! Them is real niggaz and they got the criminal record and FBI surveillance to prove it!

Maybe he don't wanna be in the limelight like dat, ya'll see by his demeanor that he's low-key dude. He's gettin money, platinum plaques, mo chicks than Wilt the Stilt, he's livin the life of a Superstar without havin the pressure of Superstar status on his shoulders.

>>SOME rappers try to change the world(Common,K west,Talib, Mos),some wanna rep the hood to the fullest(juelz,weezie,jeezy,most west coast rappers,most houston rappers),some wanna be noticed as the best.but fab just does his thang.in a way you gotta respect it cause hes just being himself,but you can be yourself and make good music(EVERY OTHER GENRE IS LIKE THAT,dont need street cred in rock,jazz,or r&b).

Fab ain't a superstar? Damn thats news to me. Not many rappers sell multi-platinum almost EVERYTIME they drop, and people still post message blogs saying how they HAVENT blown up. You people have nothing better to do then reach for non-existent reasons why fab isn't a superstar. Hes's BEEN a superstar for along time, almost 6 years now and counting. He chooses to remain low-key, still everybody who listens to rap klnows who he is. I don't know about overseas, but in America as far as rap he is a bonified household name. Females love his sh*t, who said he doesn't have a female fan base? Thats who most of his hits have been made for. N*ggas feel him too, he PERSONALLY started the whole authentic jersey/throwback craze from 5 years back. How soon do we forget? Let the man live, he chooses to stay out of the limelight because he likes it that way and still sells muillions of album when he chooses to come out. Plus he just anchored in this new canary yellow gold and platinum at the same time sh*t n*ggas gone start jocking and blowing again thanks to Fab, just like the jerseys.

When he comes out again its gonna be ANOTHER million copies sold again, and his career is approaching ten years. He's been more consitent than about 90% of the emcees in the game.

FAB spits that heat but its the people behind that gotta make him a star. You need a good team and thats what he ain't got. Singles be str8 but they just don't reach errbody. There no conversation around his name. Jay-Z, Nelly, 50 say they name and the meetings start, checks cut. 314 birds sittin the arch $

A LEADER DONT TALK SHIT ON OTHER PEOPLE THEN WANTS TO BE THERE FRIEND.

Why cant we go one thread on this site without discussing that Gee - Unit. Who gives a damn, that ish will be played by the end of this year. we all know that. Fabolous aint famous because hes garbage. he aint never spit no classic ish that keep peoples head bobbin other than spellin his own name..and nigguh you aint Snoop or Jay so you cant make that your classic joint. what kind of a man names his self FABOLOUS anyway? hes the liberace of rap music at best. no one cares, he is irrelevent and no one will ever care about him other than these young heads who are dumb enough to consider his old whack joints old school classics... Fab is weak.

when i saw Mike's response, i saw that he hit it straight on. he's just quiet and chillin, but he's makin good music. sure, he got r&b type of shit on his album, but an album has to hit all demographics. you can't have a straight all-out gangsta album and expect to be looked at as a good lyricist, which Fabolous is. as a matter of fact, anyone who's talkin about he needs to do dumb shit for marketing, fuck y'all. y'all are the reason that hip-hop is dumb as shit nowadays. nobody really cared about Rakim's backstory...that nigga made good hip-hop and that's what mattered. fuck you dumb-asses that are destroying the hip-hop culture...probably some white kids on here that watch BET and MTV all day and think you know hip-hop...shit makes me sick

Sarah always saw her watchyer standing at the window, just staring at her. It didn't bother her, as he was so far away... what could he possibly see? Her yellow bikini was hiding most OF HER PUSSY, but it was easy to see the curves of her stunning figure. Anyway, she was an exhibitionist and loved people WATCHing her. She felt a tingling sensation between her legs and aching in her breasts. Sarah moved her hands, each cupping a BREAST...

Fabo should sign with Blackwalstreet. Just think of the big budget he'll get off of Games one selling cd !!! Plus, he can help with that campaign to get Game some street cred. Then Walstreet can be official. Hopefully his new comedy CD about 50, can help him for a moment. It should atleast make people forget about those shoes he tried to sell. Straight up, fuck the Game and Fabo right now. Its Dipset and the Quiet Roc on deck. Give lame game and g-unit some time off on this board. What its been like a whole year of that shit, and now look at the topics we got. Is Fab a superstar yet ??? WTF ??? I still haven't found nobody telling me the Lox street cred yet !!! Do a fucking blog on that....DAMN !!! REAL GANGSTAS DON'T RAP !!! JUST A FEW FORMER GANGSTAS...name one, oh yall hate on that one....50cent !!! Fuck his raps, but respect his stats !!!

Posted by: Young Guice at January 21, 2006 12:55 PM

Ya'll just a bunch of cocksuckers on here.Ya'll criticize 50 all day for all the publicity stunts he be coming with and now here we have a nigga that keep it real and do him and ya'll sodomizing.Fuck being a superstar,Fabs a RICH ass nigga that made it out the hood.

Posted by: mariam at January 21, 2006 3:25 PM

I think fab isnt a superstar is because he isnt in the mainstream media like most commercial rappers, his releases his album and you might see him on TV 4 or 5 times and after that he chills out so people wont get tired of him and he still goes plat

Posted by: Illinois Gordon at January 21, 2006 9:51 PM

and oh yeah 313rd is a hater thats why hip hop is so fucked up cause erbody feel the need to hate on someone, just let a nigga do his thing niggas always feel the need to put a nigga down instead of helping him up

Posted by: Illinois Gordon at January 21, 2006 10:00 PM

Fabolous is definitly a serious spitter and for a guy who is only 3 (maybe 4?) albums deep, he deserves his respect. But remember, it took Jay Z a while to gain his noteriety in the game and in my opinion, F A B O is like a young Hov in the making.

Watch for this cats next 2 albums, guarenteed they will be fire!

Posted by: F-A-B-O ?? at January 22, 2006 2:09 AM

fab aint that bad .he makes good music .and sell record well he is doin his thing. not fakin it like 50 or all other pussy ass niggaz.

Posted by: loomfuly at January 22, 2006 5:10 AM

Fab is tight don't get me wrong. But I hate how niggas be hypocrites. Fab makes songs like "Baby", Nas made that girly joint with Ginuwine. Sheek Louch made that gay ass song "One Name" but if 50 makes Candy Shop niggas wanna call his name. Thats fucked up. And 50 said fuck the hood so what?! I hate when rappers act like they love their hood so damn much. I'm from the hood, and ain't shit to be proud of. 50 got Southside tattooed on his back and shit, but what did it get him? Shot up. Niggas who act like they love their hood so much is fakin cuz ain't shit there but misery. Aint nothin wrong with reppin it, but they fakin it to make them get respect there. Back to the subject.Fab is tight he just need a huge hit. He only had two videos for Real Talk. DJ CLUE is fuckin him up.

2)Like somebody said before me, he's inconsistent. He'll have one hot song then a garbage one afterwards.

And for the record I'm a Fab fan I got his first and last album.

funny how you haters say fab is too low key, he needs to have a good battle, need to date a model.all this coming from the same faggots who diss 50 for doing what he do.you haters always saying that 50 starts beefs to sell records but now yall recognize that this is hiphop competition.who can spit look from krs-one vs shan,ll cool j vs kool moodie, LL vs canibus,jay vs nas, the list goes on and this is not including the west coast and wherever.beef is hiphop just keep it on wax unlike biggie vs pac.50 is just that nigga yall love to hate and he dont mind cause he still sell crack(units) as long as the product is appealing to the consumer blach, white, asian, indian etc. you talk about hustling do yall think real street hustler only sell crack to black people, its whoever got paper and you know who got the most. so stop with the hate about g-unit only sell to white kids and girls.fab step up you marketing like mobb deep did.look out for blood money yall niggas gonna be paying homage to 50 genius.

LowKey??
Fab in the club almost every week out here in NYC

Needs Back Up??
Needs Muscle??

The nikka Fab fucks with BMF (Black Mafia Family) the strongest team in da game, WTF are u talking about?
Ohh yea, Jeezy fucks with them too, hence the fact that Jeezy first credits in da industry was on Fabs album.

Needs a good battle??
Honestly, yall westbubblefuck livin nikkas need to train ya ears to real lyrics and punchlines. The nikka will murk 95% of the game thats out ryte now.

Nobody ever became successful with DJ Clue??
Ummmm, the whole mixtape game needs to pay homage to Clue. While nikkas like Double R & G-bo The Pro, DooWop, Kid Capri and Ron G fell off back in the day, Clue took da game and made it marketing tool. Where da fuk u think Whoo Kid got his skills from??, Listen to classic whoo kid and listen how he copied Clue's Signature echo chambered "Clue...clue..clue" with his own "Whoooooooooooo Kid..Kid..kid" Back when it was SHADYVILLE and it had nuthing to do with Em back then

Get ya facts str8 Fuck Boys

Posted by: Bedstuy Bully at January 23, 2006 10:58 AM

WHY DOES FAB NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING WITH HIS CAREER? HE HAS A CAREER MOST PEOPLE DREAM OF. HE CONSISTANTLY GOES MULTI-PLATINUM. WHAT THE HELL ARE YALL TALKING ABOUT? WHAT MORE IS THERE. MAYBE HE DON'T WANT ALL THAT EXTRA ISH. HE STILL RICH. I WOULDN'T CARE EITHER. LIKE NAS, I GUESS HIS HAPPINESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT ALL THE OTHER BULL.

Posted by: CR at January 23, 2006 11:36 AM

good question. but i think the reason is because hiphop may think of him as a prettyboy rappa..dont get me wrong the nigga got flow but he really aint "eating and chewing" on m.c's u kno whiphop is all about battles thats what he gotta do more of. and white america aint fuckin wit him yet thats way... and as the saying goes.....

the tightest niggas in our "hiphop" world will never get they shine.....

Posted by: bigphil89 at January 23, 2006 11:52 AM

Fabulos,
Needs to align himself with a strong marketing team as well as rap crew that has some what of a street cred(market wise). It would be a good move for G-unit to pick him up- I don't know if he is thugg enough for G-Unit!
But it would be hot to see him and Olivia /Coles do a couple of club joints.
Fab does do allot of joints for the females.
If Puffy wasn't such a paper thugg I would think Fabo could bring Bad Boy new life. But puffy is to selfish!

He and little mo got busy on the radio for a minute. He is definatley a radio ready MC that could be used to cross different segments of HIP Hop. Fabo is hot lyrically! I expect him to be a legend in the game after a while!

Posted by: Crispin-VernonVille's Hustla at January 23, 2006 12:27 PM

why are people hatin on Fab's songs for the ladies? almost every rapper has a song about females. plus, that makes him one of the real niggaz that's spittin, cuz 80% of these rappers are not gangsta at all, and the other 20% are not gangsta all the time...they got a girl (or man...some of these rappers are kinda...yeah...) waitin on em at home, so he's just tellin his life. that's what hip-hop's about: your life, your experiences, and expressing those in words

He started to rub soap over my back and ASS as he was slowly FUcKing me... he would pull almost all the way out with just his HEAD still in me, then slowly SHOVE all the way back in until he was buried in me DEEP. He was using the soap as lubricant to work his THUMB into my ass. "OW!"

I cried out, "Please stop, that hurts!" He just ignored me and kept on doing it until I started to like it, and started to push back against him even harder...

Posted by: brklyn's grimiest at January 24, 2006 4:03 PM

Its like this, other then Fab, what other "new" rappers came off the east coast in the past 5 years and did some real numbers? We all know about Curtis and them (part gimmick part skills, I aint gonna knock it all the way cuz Power of the Dollar was a classic before the 9 shots heard around the world). Cass first album went gold. And thats it. Here and there a couple people came out. Freeway had a good album (sales didn't match), Juelz first joint aint do shit, his second is doin better but thats because of the whole "Blood" thing that the dipset and their cult followers rely upon, not like he nice nothin cuz he's garbage. Buddens threw up a brick, Jim Jones acted like 170,000 copies was 2 mil cuz he was doin it on Koch but still had to pay out of pocket for everything. Who else new came off the East Coast since then though? let alone established a big enough fanbase to secure platinum if not close to sales in the past 5 years. I sit back and peep the game. I'm from the East Coast, Baltimore to be specific. Niggas from the (north) East Coast are generally regular Mufackas. Shit is to serious here to be tryin to be a character. It aint like the 90's you, got a new crop of mafuckas comin in the game that is hood fa real. Thats why after the class of 98 (DMX, The LOX, Cam, 50, Pun, Nore, Sigel) you aint really see no new acts comin off this side like that that was all wild and super entertainin. Now everybody got either a lovin or hatin what the south is doin? My city is the middle, we listen 3 6, Jeezy, Weezy F, TI, but we also listen to State P (who should be a subject of this topic too), The Lox, Fab, The Game (who is a clown by nature but a better lyricist then 80% of these "new" east coast niggas). My point bein niggas like Luda, and the Kayne's, and the whoever else is winning in the game cuz they aint afraid to be extra over the top about shit. Same goes for a lot of the South rappers. They more entertainin right now. Niggas up north be scared to be different. Thats why nigs like Maino's, Jae Millz, and Papoose, and who ever else is killin the mixtapes in NY right now aint gonna ever win. Dont get me wrong Pap can spit. But thats it. Fab got in the game from the east right before the cut off point. He's the last regular type dude rapper to blow off the east. From now on you gotta have that extra element to blow. This is entertainment people. He's actually lucky. Fuck beef get money. He good. He can go fuck a lil tropical shorty, Cop sum getty from the hood, be back on MTV when he drop a new single, and still be a regular nigga. Flat out.

first off you not from the east. geographically speaking your city is technically on the east coast but you cant relate to north eastern culture because you're not like us. we look at you as being closer to the south. what the fuck else matters except getting the money (which fab is doing)? the problem with some of yall niggas is that yall think seeing a rappers video on BET (the ultimate station for niggERS) is the equivalent to selling records nation wide. if you havent noticed, most southern artists dont sell up north any more than east coast artists sell down south. the only difference is airplay on shitty, sellout BET. niggas on the east coast generally dont like being clowns or characters (with the exception of dipset) because thats not a good look for us. furthermore, dont try to get at the east coast (especially NY), when d4l, franchize boys, ying yang twins, paul wall, lil flip, mike jones, webbie, crunchy black, gucci mane, lil boozie, and a bunch of other corny ass niggas came out the south these past years. making money counts. fab is doing that. not videos on BET. and dont take this the wrong way but baltimore people cant really judge when they havent had a significant contribution to the rap game in an extremely long time. next time, look at the full picture. people pay sooo close attention to what's going on in new york (and have the fuckin nerve to get mad at us for it)and have such contempt for us that they dont really take a look at the full picture. keep the fame. we gets money. thats all our city is about. if yall dont know, check fanancial data nationwide. its the financial capitol of this country for a reason.

Man, you faggots kills me!!!!!! Fab don't need all that dumb-ass attention, he got millions, a sweet ass deal, owns his publishing, and goes plat every album......Why go and act a damn fool when you don't have to? Why do some fake hollywood dating type shit if you can already fuck any bitch you want? Why start beef when you're one of the FEW rappers nobody has a problem with? If Fab next album was on some "Candy Shop" bullshit and go 8x plat, ya'll be on his shit saying he crossed over and ya'll won't listen to him anymore! That's why the fuck he stays low-key.......That means NO BULLSHIT!!!!!!

D-Block is correct on this... def on the owning his publishing... all those those other cats out there don't own their shit. And why start shit when peeps like you. He has no chip on his shoulder like like some MC's; he constantly proving himself via mixtapes. Also, most importantly, he answers to no one. He's not puppet. All the MC's y'all list as "hot" has a label wanting all the money they can, making fools ho'ing themselves for the almighty dollar, ie. 50! So, stop hating on the brother because he's not playing Mantan or Sambo in some flashy, ass shaking video. He's real and he's tight.

So y'all know, this from a brother who doesn't care for hip-hop/rap anymore because the game is filled with too busters. Shit, my grandma spit better than half these fools out there.

Check this shit right. I don't know whether you been to Bmore or not Dog. Niggas may see the Wire or Whatever the Hell else and get they lil picture of what they think maybe goin on. Thats neither here nor there. Again. Whether my City is North Or South Its Thorough. Point Blank. Ya fav Rappers get robbed here. Ask the BIG (RIP) estate about '94 in Murphy Homes. His man Aint even make it outta here.

Back to my point Homie. Money is great and Fab gets it. I aint knockin him. In fact I give him props for what he do. But after Fab the rap game aint really been shit for NY. Thats the truth. All of the other stars are either older like from the 90's. Or G Unit who aint even all the way east coast themselves. Dips is clowns and Cam is just solidifing that point right now. Who else is next? Dudes aint entertainin right now.

As for all that Geographical shit, Yea Bmore is below the Mason Dixon line. But this city is not even close to bein a down south city. And I'ma tell you why

1. Population Density: Bmore is about half the size of Philly. A east coast city right? Philly and Bmore were built by the same exact ppl. During the industrial revolution, they made these things called row- houses. Tight Blocks and Bricks. Thats it.

2. East Coast cities are the oldest in the country. Baltimore is one of the ORIGINAL cities in this country.

3. The accent. Southern cities got a drawl. Not that thats a bad thing but Bmore is the last city coming down the pipe from Boston with a distinguished accent. Dude, you prolly aint never even met somebody from Bmore b4, We got our own slang, swagger, and accent. After Bmore people get the drawl, In fact once you get to southern MD thats when it begins becuz thats when things begin to spread out. Even DC people got a drawl but they slang makes a DC person distinguished.

4. My city is serious. Check the crime rate. Thats why I said it's too serious here. Niggas get smacked in my hood for lookin dumb and lesser.

5. We the North of the South and the South of North on the EAST COAST. Homeboy do your GEOGRAPHY.

Posted by: DAy at January 28, 2006 12:09 PM

The dude sport(Fabolous Sport Org name) wasnt out for sales that time around he jus wanted to b heard. And in my opinion that album was diamond crack. I mean all tracks was hard(yes I'm talk on the female targeted tracks. Cuz those shit was hard too). but that album was his best album overall. That was a good overall album.
The dude I read b4 hand said he was parle with the BMF click. He's right. Also he got his own shit. Street Family Ent, and dude got his clothing line called Rich Yung. I don't see why Y'all dudes hate cuz it does nothin to dude and he is one of the truest and reallist MC's in the game. Yes he had to spell his name to get his name out there on his first album. Its called a gimmick. The second album was ok. But everyone sophmore album is kinda whack. That mixtape shit was hot and That Real Talk was Real Talk. So hate or not Dudes is eating, and sleep well. He got the estate, cars, and grill to show it.(White and gold grill make em go ewwww) the prince of new york is cool and doing his thing all on his own and he will b king soon as HOVA gives it up for gud.

When the jitney arrived, Mr. Henry opened the front passenger door, pointed a gun at the minister and demanded money, Lt. Kraus said.

"We're not clear exactly what happened at that point," he said. "I believe there was some resistance."

Investigators believe Mr. Henry fired a single shot.

Shortly before 10 p.m. Mr. Mitete was found slumped over the steering wheel of his Chevrolet Cavalier. He became the 61st homicide of the year in Pittsburgh -- a victim described by police as truly innocent.

fab keeps it real thats why he aint no superstar..he aint a greedy mothafucka like the rest of the rap game. he makes cake, got deals with pepsi, goes multi-platnium, who else does all that and still drops fire ass mixtapes?

Posted by: del at February 12, 2006 4:22 PM

yo fab is one of the most under rated rappers in the game, this nigga has no problem sellin millions, he lyriclly keeps it real but niggas is rite about his back story....im a nigga who chills in Smurf VIll(a block away from brevoort) and this nigga name didnt ring bells until he made it on a mixtape, but the nigga is nice and he could sell, most niggaz have a problem goin gold so he shouldnt be complaining to much

Posted by: Bklyns Finest at February 28, 2006 11:28 AM

NIGGAS STOP HATING ON FAB. FAB IS ONE OF THE BEST LYRICIST OUT THEIR. ONE OF THE ONLY NIGGA FROM THE N.Y. STILL CAN RAP. IT JUST KIND OF FUNNY HOW NIGGA DONT GET WHAT THEY DESERVE. FABO ONE OF THE NIGGAS THAT CAME OUT BASICALLY ON HIS OWN TWO AND HELD HIS GROUND AGAINST MOST OF THE NIGGAS OUT. STOP HATING AND STOP LISTENIN TO THE SINGLES AND PAY ATTENITION TO THE OTHER SHIT ON THE ALBUMS!!

Posted by: BEZZY at February 28, 2006 7:44 PM

personally i think Fab is the nicest out... he holds it down on the mixtapes better than any1 i know... every punchline he spits is a hip-hop qoutalble... its too bad that some ppl r too slow to understand most of them... the singles he puts out for the ladies r just to boost record sales... thats the same thing every artist does but Fab does do it better... I'll always support Fab and buy any album he puts out... line for line no1 can see LOSO... even though the mixtape Fab is better than the record Fab... if his albums sounded more gangsta like the mixtape tracks he puts out... IT WOULD BE A WRAP!!! even his laid back style is crazy cuz hes not wildin out actin like a fool like these other industry clowns... i can say soo much more but i'll leave it off like this... NO1 CAN C FABOLOUS!!!

Posted by: Da Kid at March 2, 2006 3:35 PM

LOSO IS THE HOTTEST OUT AND WILL TAKE DOWN PASTOR MASE AND WHOEVER ELSE THEY THROW AT DAT NIGGA!!! WHOS CAN SEE FAB??? NOBODY!!! hes keeps it gangsta on the mixtapes and the albums so i'll cop his shit till the day he decides to retire... and REAL TALK was a classic in my eyes... 1

Posted by: Steve at March 5, 2006 8:41 PM

That nigga fab goes hard... on mixtapes but I think niggas been sleepin on him. That nigga stacks cake and all his niggas are eat too. He makes music and doesnt have to sell his soul to move units...that nigga just does him. He had some shit with the police that wasnt blown up too much with a weapon possession... pretty hush hush but he doin it big and stayin out of the spot light. I think hes got it the best out of all the rappers he got money and dont have to worry about niggas shootin at him he dont have to worry about crazy tours or none of that he just chillin.

Let that nigga do him... he know what he doin!

You can stop the kid with birth control pills- Fabolous!!

Posted by: Give head U bEEzy! at March 6, 2006 9:53 PM

who cares? why be a pop-rapper like 50 cent?

Fabolous is good where he's at right now, he doesnt need more fame have you seen his cars? He doesnt need more fame.

Posted by: whatever at March 12, 2006 3:53 PM

You motherfuckers are talking so reckless.Anybody got something bad to say about my man im smacking them.This should not even be a fucking post.I should smack the nigga who made it.Fab is that young dude that is doing it.He went platnium more then once, like he said on the loso mixtape nigga his worse was gold.Its hard to go platnium now of days when you got niggas like 50 cent pullin all these stunts jus to sell records.Yall up here talking about my man should jus do some stupid shit like start a battle, or date a model to get some attention.Nigga that some girly shit my mans from BK nigga home of the dons, and the best rappers he dont need to lower himself to that cornball shit.If fab aint no star why every fucking body in they momma calls this nigga for remixes.lol.you idiots from amerie, j-lo,sheek louch,tweet,usher,etc....That list go's on and on and on.He is respected in the mainstream,and in the hood you pussies how many rappers nowadays can say that.The young boi has numerous of endorsments from Boost Mobile, EA Sports, Lipton Brisk, Mitchell and Ness, New Era, Reebok, and Sean John, oh yeah and benny&co.Everybody know fab is a young trendsetter these companies see that.If he wasn't you think they would be given him money to promote they shit.But let you tell it he aint a superstar. you niggas smoking crack.Oh yeah my man got his on clothing line coming called rich yung watch how ya'll hop on his dick when that get out there like that.Top young niggas in the game in any order Fabolous,llyod banks,cassidy, and wayne.These are niggas that sell records, but still keep that street buzz, and anyone of them young niggas will bite your head off on a track,and let me add they getting money.

1ST I THOUGHT HE WAS ALREADY A SUPERSTAR?
2ND FUCK FAB MAKING A STORY CUZ YALL NIGGAS WILL MAKE ONE 4 HIM.OTHER NIGGAS NEED A STORY TO SELL (e.g 50 CENT)
HE AL READY GOT THE MONEY AND THE RESPECT 4M THE STREETS. MIXING THE R&B WITH THE RAP ON THE ALBUM IS WHERE THE MONEY AT HINT (2 PLATINUM AND 1 GOLD ALBUM AND STILL COUNTING) THATS HOW THE BILLS GET PAID.PLUS THE MIX TAPES CAUSE MAYHAM IN THE STREETS. THIS NIGGA GOT FUCKING DEALS OUT THE ASS. AND OWN HIS OWN PUBLISHING HOW MANY NIGGS IN THE RAP GAME OR ANY GAME DOES THAT SO HE GOT DOE NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THE YOUNG PRINCE OF NEW YORK!

I mean.. Fab use to be the shit back in the day. He came out with the hot joint "Holla Back" and every since that he been doing his thing.. But i guess everybody in the music business can be no Luther Vandross (20 years later and he was still making hits)... But my boy Fab...was doing his thing but I guess that must have been the end of the road for him....Now its Young Jeezy, Young Joc and Lil Wayne shine time...

Fabolous isn't a superstar because his raps suck. The rappers blowin up and stayin up be: triple 6, project p, & t.i. otherwise, just play dem ole school tracks pac, big, bonethugs & shyne. candy rappers like fabolous, 50, and rappers that remix 1 hit 8 times will all die out (in my ___ tee, i think they like me). fuck that.

Posted by: rapstar at August 6, 2006 11:12 AM

any cat that says fab sucks don't know shit about rap.

Posted by: YungRich at August 13, 2006 11:24 PM

I think FAB is a great rapper, just like otheres have said, mix tapes get u street cred, but those catchy r'n'b and hip hop callabos sell worldwide. Im originally from brooklyn but i live in London now, and here everybody knows FAB. And for an artist from the streets of Brooklyn to get radio play on Londons air waves u gotta be good. As long as the ladys love him thats the main thing, cos where ever the ladys go the guys will follow. His single Breath got constant airplay on a radio station called kiss 100 out here. and breath is a lil too hardcore for london air waves. Theres proof right there that this nigga is one of the best.
