Fab is pretty good, great punch lines, good lyricist. His mixtapes are better than his albums, the SOUL Tapes are two of my favorite mixtapes. His production has always been bad IMO.

soul tape 1 and 2 touched on his personal life along with loso way. The dude is not joe budden. He is amase type of flossy rapper. U expect trhe same content from a nas album and a jayz album??

I never got a around to listening to the Soul Tapes so you could be right. I know he isn't that introspective type rapper but I just never really got into him early on, he always had a few songs that he killed or I thought was dope and would usually do good on features, but for some reason he is just one of those rappers that when he had something drop I just was like :ehh: He's was a swag rapper before "swag" was popular, all style not much substance..

But I did download There is no competiton 2 when it dropped and it was pretty dope, but just like all other of Fab's music after about a month I deleted and never thought about it again

I agree, probably of that year. But for some reason Fab music just doesn't have a whole lot of replay value with me...

Like I said, he's good... I don't have any issues with him and you won't see me just shytting on him. He just haven't dropped anything that has really resonated with me... but I might fukk with them Soul Tapes this weekend and check em out

soul tapes made me re-shyt on nearly every artist out. Those tapes also made me a lil depressed.... like when these nikkas go away Imma have to stop listening to rap all together.

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.

here we go with this shyt
he dosent have any depth to his music....

what does this mean?
