Fabolous over here capin' for Macklemore and playing politics

[Insensitive]

Right! He basically said white people chose the white guy but he ain't shyt to real hip-hop fans. But honestly I think a lot of these rappers respect this dudes independent hustle. Imagine if real hip-hop dudes had the balls and work ethic to go full independent. fukk that white boy but I give him for his hustle game. If dude own his masters

He's not independent though.
He was signed to a label which was bought by a major.

On topic :
That's cool if he was playing the game either that or he's
a genuine Maclemore fan which I find hard to believe......

Pac one of the very few nikkaz who lived his lyrics. For me:

Pac
Willie D
Z-Ro
Mack-10
DMX
Kanye
ATCQ

really lived their raps, and it doesn't have to be in a gangsta fashion for one to be real. 99.9% of the game is fake now.

A lot of guys are "Real" they may not be Pac but
for a lot of them their lives aren't to far from their lyrics
unsurprisingly most of the guys who do so are Back Pack/Regular
Joe rappers.

Fab taking 2 minutes to go on television and diss Macklemore on some sports show would have done nothing good for himself nor hip hop

shyt would have been forgotten in a week or 2 and he woulda been making an unnecessary enemy

Aint about kissing up to massa it's about being intelligent

 

[ReggieFlare]

notice that he said that hes ok with mac winning the grammys but not the bet "HIP HOP" Awards.

Exactly. Most of the cats in the thread are overlooking this but it's an important point. He pretty much implied that no real hip-hop fan is thinking about Mackelmore.

That being said, you could tell he was bullshytting when he was asked what does Mackelmore bring to hip hop. "He's...diverse."

 

[King Poetic]

that was probably the hardest question fab ever had on national tv.

but u can tell fab was thinking before he spoke tho, he didn't want the new york times catching what he says so he can be black balled

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Fab probably wants to do a joint with him. Cacklemore bout to come out with the 2014 stimulus package.

Dude is LUCKY he played it cool there too

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Fab need to shut up. I heard his new single. nikka think he rick ross or a drill rapper now. Unoriginal ass nikka

 

[Digga38]

he didnt have to say its wack or anything just say overated because he didnt feel it was album of the year....

 

[CashmereThoughts]

He's not overrated to me. Nobody even takes him serious as an artist. Nobody thinks he's great, not even the corny white folks I work with. Most of them may know the hook to thrift shop but didn't even know his name.

Grammys is a popularity contest not a true authority on quality music

 

[Danny Up]

WTF? Y'all nikkas bytch about everything. Fab kept it 100.

Plenty originality all thru soultape 3.

secondly, he said "Grammys are looking for popular music, I'd be surprised if he won at the bet awards".

nikkas act like he said "I think he had the best album" be basically dismissed the credibility of the Grammys and called it for what it is l, a popularity contest

 

[Yung Yogurt]

Why fab ain't rockin a jersey? This the first time i seen him without 1

 

[Richard Wright]

Its funny, I never listened to the Heist just out of pure militantism. I dl it one day thinking im about to off of it at the gym, thinking it was gonna be a gem, a dirty secret no one would know.

The album sucks!

 

[Still Benefited]

You nikkas been making cute little fabbynsick smileys all year,swearin up and ndown Fab irrelevant,swearing how wack he is all year long....my nikka drop Soul Tape 3 and all of a sudden "bu bu but go out on a limb for us Fab"...fuk outta here.....He actually said "aint like he won a BET award" unlike the rest of u who put more stock in the white mans award shows....first he said maybe cuz macklemore is succesful,then thought about it and he let it be known 50 was also sucesful but never won a grammy,if nikkas to dumb to read between the lines of what he putting out there I don't know what to tell u...yall would call him desperate for attention if he said "fukk Macklemore"...yall don't know what the fuk yall want.


Defended your favorite rappers for coppin please for Eminem callin us ******s when they didn't even have the details and got no real apology...Nas can defend Gweneth using n words and threaten to smack his bruthas if we got a problem with it,and take Iggy Azalia wack azz on tour and he's still a symbol of one of the righteous nikkas in hiphop...Fab aint never took a strong stance and purposely fuked up a check his whole career. It woulda been a bad look had he dissed em too cuz as wack as he is dude seem like a nice enuff cac and aint called nobody ****** yet....but yall wouldn't mind if he could rap..who in they right mind would ride for yalls selective outrage if they bout they money

 

[jadillac]

He said the guy is a "good artist" and basically fit what the mainstream is lookin for.

Y'all overreact to everything. He didn't say the guy was the best in the game.

Fab is still a great lyricist and he knows what he's talking about rap-wise, more than 99% of the Coli.

Y'all nikkas don't even like lyrical rappers like Wale, but then you dump on basic rappers like Macklemore.

There's no pleasing y'all wishy washy ass nikkas
