Why the hell does Fabolous come off dope on Westcoast tracks ?

[Jome]

I dont get this.. after 2 poppy radio-friendly albums, and a lot of r'n'b-cameos..
Suddenly! he comes off dope on:

* Give a fuck remix feat. Ras Kass
* Act like you know me feat. Knoc-Turn'al & Shade Sheist

And then lately on..

* Fall Back feat. Lloyd Banks, Brandy & Who Kid

I don't get it.. is it the competition from supreme MC's like Ras Kass & Lloyd Banks that makes him raise the bar..  

[eS El Duque]

yo i was wondering the same shit...he comes off tight on that lloyd banks track

[Doggystylin]

well i dunno bout yall but i thought he always was pretty coo, but some of his songs i just cant stand but i was really feelin "into you"

[mauzip]

fabolous comes dope 90% of his guest appereances. i don't like his solo stuff though

[We Fly High]

with nate on you cant deny it. and on e-40s automatic remix too.

[UnstoppableForce]

Fab really ain't as bad as people make him to be. He's got sick punchlines.

On his solo albums he sounds like a stuckup Beverly Hills kid who doesn't care about the album cuz he knows the pop audience will swallow it.. and the beats he gets/chooses sounds like Irv Gotti meets Max Martin.

I seriously thought he was finished as a rapper after M.O.P. humiliated him on "Keeping it gangsta remix", and laughed at him in interviews afterwards. That was great.

[CRAFTY]

His guest appearances ain't bad...but someone should tell him that he needs to get rid of those earrings

Easy now..
All I said was.. you cant say that people hate on Fabolous when you haven't even heard his albums..
Now.. go and listen to those albums, and then get enlightened as to why people hate on Fabolous albums.
You cant speak on Fabolous being sick, when you haven't heard even 1 of his 2 albums.

truth is you wont truly understand real hip hop unless you raised in the gutter..........which i doubt u have..........................but thats my imo

Complete bullshit.
WTH you bringing Bubba or Snoop in to a Fabolous-discussion, beats me..  
Compensation.. ?
All discussions cant be won by bringing Snoop into the picture.

[fa bo lo us]

some of you dudes are dumb.

if you try to find fabolous old freestyles you would realize that he shits on almost all of the rap game.

freestyles over

'special delivery'
'victory'
'blackout'
'eye of the tiger'

theres too many to name, another good one is when he destroys nore. basically look for any desert storm mixtape.






and who can tell me they aint feeling his new single? fab has skills man.
