Mistah Fab Takes A "Recess"

Posted on September 25, 2006 1:10 AM

Mistah Fab has pretty much become the frontrunner out of Mac Dre’s Thizz Entertainment camp, and is definitely one of the more recognizable face of Hyphy music. And with the release of his Recess mixtape with dj Dow Jones, he further cements his status as a force to be reckoned with -- not only in Bay Area rap, but in hip hop in general.

It’s been about a year and a half since he dropped "Son Of A Pimp," but Fabby Davis Jr. has been making the rounds this year with guest spots -- he popped up on Potzee’s “That Girl” remix, and then showed up with Too Short on The Pack’s “Vans” remix and Traxamillion’s “Sideshow” (which is amazing if you haven’t heard it), and with Keak Da Sneak and Turf Talk on DJ Shadow’s new album on “3 Freaks.” He also had an appearance on the Bay Area edition of MTV’s My Block, where he gave us insight on the meaning of “Shabooplaboopie.” Last but not least, he had a little bit of radio play in the last month with an awful track called “Ghostride It,” which had a shitty interpolation of the Ghostbusters theme song as the beat, and somehow generated a little buzz through a whole lotta word of mouth.

I’m not positive about when exactly this joint dropped (although I’m fairly sure it was in the first week of August), but I scooped it up this weekend, and it’s definitely a heater. There isn’t any release date set for a new album from Fab, but Recess has got enough heaters to tide fans over for a while. The better portion of the joints on here are jacked beats, and in a lot of cases, Fab shows up the original rappers with his versions. Among the 29 tracks on the album (which are way out of sequence on the track listing), F.A.B. gets busy over the beats for the Wu’s “It’s Yours,” Clipse’s “Mr. Me Too,” Cam’s “Wet Wipes,” Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’,” ‘Ye and Paul Wall’s “Drive Slow.” He also tears the shit out of Cassie’s pop joint “Me & U” (which seems to be getting some pretty heavy usage by rappers on mixtapes these days) and Joe Budden’s “Stuntin.”

Among the handful of original beats, he has a beat from Alchemist on “Fuck A Chorus,” and a ridiculous one from one of the best to ever do it, Dilla (RIP) on “Don’t Step Outside.” The other most notable original track is from Dow Jones himself sharing the production duties with J Hen, aka Tha Bizness, on “Wheels On Da Bus,” which, despite having the overwhelming possibility of being a stupid-ass song due to the hook (you can pretty much guess how it goes; just reference Jibbs’ “Chain Hang Low” and you’ll get an idea), somehow works.

Recess is available on Mixunit.com.

The nigga took off two of the three chains he was wearing and was like "these ain't my chains, these are my homeboy's that's how we do and gave' em back." Nigga you looked so stupid when you did dat shit, LAMO!!!! No wonder yall always be like "Go Dumb, Go Stupid." You niggas really are dumb and stupid.

Weve been doing our own shit and we dont give a F@!%k if any other city or state dont like it . The Bay sets the standard our "verbals" and spits is all over the land. Hate all u want but the bay is in each and every hip hop head out there. From Hawaii to New Hampshire we spread worse than cancer.& fo that cunt born nigga named "know your roots" My nigga FAB WILL RUN THOUGH YOU YOUR CUNT MAMA AND PIMP YOUR BITCH @ THE SAME TIME WHILE SPITTIN A RHYME ..THIZZZ IS WUT IT IS 41510`707`650`925`408 YEE

Who E-40, Keak da Kreep LAMO!!! 1 semi hot single "Go Dumb." But what about more hot singles? Yeah E-40 went gold on tha LP but is dat hyphy shit really taking things over? E-40, get your fat ass off Lil' John's crunk movement dick nigga, dat nigga been falling off! Originality E-40, you been in the game just as long prolly longer. Dat ultra ugly ass nigga should be bitin' off you instead, not you bitin him.

    I ain't hatin' the hustle. Get cha money, right dat's what i'm doing.. But really dough, dat hyphy shit is crackhead music...

  • Nor Cal hip hop (if you can even call it hip hop) is fuckin wack. It is all about stunna shades and other mumbo jumbo that people dont even understand, it just makes dumb drunk bitches at clubs shake thier asses before you fuck em, which is cool but it should not be considered real hip hop.

  • Mistah Fab, LAMO!!! Dis nigga is gawbage. Can't write a hot single for shit, only hot local music nothing national. If dis tha front runner for tha bay hyphy scene, then shit is downn tha fucking drains. Dat yellow dummy bus shit, is preskool rhymin... Keak da sneak is gawbage big time too, us hip-hop heads aint forgot about a rappa who lives on a fucking farm with pigs and cows!!! yall can't be serious tryin to push dis hyphy shit any longer.

  • Since this is the west coast room I came in here to explain that I have a beef with some stupid westcoast clown.
    His name is Solo you know the guy who only fame is knocking out Ice cube. Solo point blank I'm 6"9 340lbs. of muscle and point blank I'm going to kick the shit out of you. I'm not going to kill you I'm just going to beat your ass and I'm going to make you tap. Remember when you use to bully me well I have grown up since then ha ha and this ultimate fighter is going to run into real soon and beat the holy shit out of you and it's nothing your sorry ass can do about it. And like what you did to cube when you took his chain after I knock you out I'm going to guerilla press you and drop you on that ugly ass face of yours and take your shoes and give them to the salvation army. Solo watch for me Froggy is coming for you and Kam stay out of this. I'm letting it be known this is between me and that dog food eating Solo. And Solo you bullied me in highschool well those days are over I'm back in LA for one reason to search for you and beat the shit out of your stanky ass and you will tap bitch!!!!!!!
