Fabolous Speaks On Becoming The Representer For New York Hip Hop & “So NY”

[Ashtrey]

im from where nikkaz pull your card and argue all day who the best mc? biggie, fabolous or nas

 

[Harry B]

nothing confusing about Life is Good breh...Nas making music for ppl more in his age group...these other rappers tryna attract teenage fans by acting like them

Lol @ Nas making music for his age group.
Adult contemporary hiphop

Have you ever been to a Nas show? You could count every 40 year old in the building. He makes music for most people, the fukk he doing schooling 40 year old people about life. It's like claiming Jay-z only makes music for ballers and gangsters.

 

[BigMan]

didn't watch but fab will just slide to complete irrelevancy. there's a new scene in NY and it doesn't include Fab.

 

[Danie84]

It's kind of ironic though, that he sounds like Drizzy on his new song with Rhianna's beater

 

[Rominati]

the throne ain't for the taking esp in NY... that's the wrong city to crown yourself in. they got clearly defined legends and those shoes fab could never fill. Not even 50 cent could and he tried desperately...

Its kinda crazy when you think about it


Despite all the sales and epic things 50 did in his run, his shyt dont even touch the magnitude and force of what previous NY legends have done. shyt 50's run aint even on the same plateau as what DMX did back in 97 let alone cats like Nas

 

[L. Deezy]

Look at it like this though....

Whose gonna stop him? Jay is European, Nas is confused, 50 is a punchline, Cam is irrelevant, Biggie dead, Pun dead

And NY nikkas are so desperate for relevance they will defend this fukkery

So by many measures, if Fab says hes the NY representer, he is... that is just how trash the NY rap scene is now

man stfu.. lmao

 

[The G.O.D II]

I mean who else tho? Look at the NY scene as a whole. Asap rocky is a hipster joke. Joey Bad Ass is a corny gimmick. Montana is trash and can't get a release date with damn near the hottest rappers today on his singles. Action Bronson is a fat red headed ghostface ripoff. Santana just dropped a mixtape that confirmed why he hasnt released anything for 7 years. At least with Fab I can relate some NYC aura to him

 

[L. Deezy]

New York is Jay and Nas.. point blank period

Everyone else is just second or 3rd tier artists

just look at New Years Eve for reference.. Who did the big shows??

Exactly.. Fab is "BB Kings" show level

 

[jerzboy]

Hahaha, didn't watch, but if he is anointing himself king then I have to laugh. No one cares about this dude. Seriously. He's done. I hope u saved ur money and invested, it's going to be a cold next couple if years.

 

[Killalex]

Fab on a coke binge with this bullshyt talk.

No classic mixtapes or albums, not even near classics yet calling himself a NY icon.

"more in his age group" different from same age avg Nas fan is older than avg fan of say Drake/Fabolous/Kendrick fan coz Nas started earlier in his career (circa 1991 )

he definitely passed the stage of trying to get the #1 song on 106 & Park...grown folks aint got time for that ish...we buy albums and got to shows
