Fab is easily one of the most unappreciated rappers whos been around for a good chunk of change. His career has lived throughout his most hype in the early-mid 2000's. If I'm correct, a lot of those "hype" artists from that time period fell off, they didn't have the longevity to last, aren't doin shyt, or are just makin wack music no one wants to listen to, meanwhile Fab is still doin his thing.. yeah, he isnt anywhere near as "big" as he was then, but hes by no means, irrelevant, in my opinion.

:blessed:

I don't really think he is under appreciated. I think most people agree that he is talented, but his official releases are lackluster. He's actually right where he should be - good but not great and def way above average. He's actually done nothing to solidfy himself as a great despite having longevity. I am a fan tho

To me, he or his label or his management or whoever dropped the ball with "Killin Em". That shyt shoulda been a full on single with all the promotional support of Def Jam behind it. It was a minor hit, I know NY radio ate it up, but I don't think it got the shine it should've.

Meh... Fab is cool. but he never really made me a fan.

He has some dope punchlines and few cool songs but he been in the game for at least 10 years and I still feel like I don't know shyt about Fab or his life or what type of person he is.

I'm not saying every rapper has to speak on those things and get personal.

But to me thats what separates the Great artists from the real good ones :ld:
