First off the man has dope tracks, damn near classic tracks....but is it time to hang it up? What are your thoughts on Loso? i had a convo with my dude and we both came to the conclusion that hes trying too hard at this point " Hit him with a nike, then collect the checks" :sadbron::sadbron::rudy:

Last track I really liked on some word for word shyt was "Breathe" ever since then it seems like he been tryna find himself.. & tryin too hard to be witty at times. Kinda like how Weezy does now

still respect him for his early catalogue tho :youngsabo:

My opinion he still got it but I'm a punch line fan so I like punch line rappers

He's still got it, "Soul Tape" was dope, I just hate the commercial joints where he's trying too hard. To me he still hasn't released a commercial album that I can bump front to back though.

'Losos Way' felt like his peak to me, more mature content and flow, good production, nice throwback to late 90's eastcoast rap albums....he's lost me more or less since then. A handful of solid tracks and mix tape bangers, but nothing much exciting.

Breathe?:childplease:

BMF era Loso wuz a beast:ohlawd:....u mean to tell me u don't listen to early shyt and think all those punchlines wuz the definition of trying too hard:heh:....dude be layin out the triple entendres effortlessly the past few years,and on that Soul Tape 2 I didn't feel like he wuz reachin for punchlines just for the hell of it....I think I'm past the point where I'm expectin a classic from Fab,or for him to take it to the next level....but I feel that way after just about any artist I fuk wit after a certain ammount of time,its been about 15 years for dude now....it wuz probaly unfair of us to expect more from him and Jadakiss too after soo many years....how many other artist did y'all expect to drop a classic after the first 2 or 3 albums that wuznt classic:rudy:...meanwhile with jada and fab it wuz 10 yrs in and nikkas wuz still talkin bout "bu bu but the next one will be the one:why:"...I appreciate em both for still bein as consistent as they have lyrically this long in the game,u can't name many that can kill anybody any given time who been spittin long as them in the mainstream,maybe period if u really think about it....I understand tho it took me a while to realize Yukmouth wuznt going to takeover hiphop in the 90's then the 2000's:mindblown:....but its partly yalls fault if u don't appreciate Fab and Jada:ufdup:

At the end of the day, Fab is a cat that can make dope mixtapes, but struggles to find himself on a commercial level. And it seems like he tries too hard to make joints for radio. It all sounds mad forced and generic. He's at his best, when he's just on some underground shyt.

The poppy hooks and R&B features he gets don't work anymore for him, the way they did 12 years ago. At this point in his career, he should have solidified a nice little spot for himself. It's way too late in the game, for him to be trying to find himself. I'd say it's over.

Fab is basically a dope lyricist with ZERO mic presence or personality

unless he suddenly gets a pulse he should hang it up or just stick to features like someone in this thread said

Considering the trash that gets hyped up around here on a daily basis I cant really see a reason to single out Fab as needing to hang it up.

I agree to an extent. Ima Fab fan but his shyt seems forced now. W/ that being said, I'm still gonna cop the album off the strength of the first one. Lullaby>>>
