I thought it purely meant hooks they wrote or did themselves. I'm 99% positive fab has zero to no input over those singles with features considering tricky Stewart wrote throw it in the bag



nikka mad at fab but said Vince Staples?

Norf Norf went gold

This dropped 4 days ago


Vince just doesn't sell records period and has never been pushed for the radio, but to act like he has had trouble writing choruses or hits but fab doesn't is hilarious

Vince's career keeps getting bigger and bigger every drop

bruh...Fab and Vince are nowhere near the same league..and i like Vince

Fab's career was built off having 1 or 2 hits every album

and he has solo hits---his best single Breathe....is all him...his second single Young N...all him...You Be Killing Em...gold record...all him

and he has multiple hits outside of that...thats why nikkas is :mindblown: that he was mentioned...he doesnt fit the thread criteria at all...he's a platinum artist with platinum and gold singles, solo or otherwise...these are facts...

The newest one you named is almost a decade old, the rest are almost 20. You're naming me songs from 2001 as proof he has the ability to write hits when the next and last example is from 2010/2011

The thread title isn't implying he flopped or had a bad career, as I've said before. I think his career would have been better if he was able to craft more than 3 hits in 21 years

solo or otherwise...these are facts.

The solo part matters if we're going off the thread title.

Sound sound sound
Still trying to figure out why fab is mentioned here :dahell:

He probably has a career, most rappers would dream of…rich off music, can kinda do what he pleases now as far as creativity , he’s respected by all his peers and his role models, and he’s not an A LIST celeb so he can still move around a lot of places on his own

roc the mic was 55 on BB and 16 rap/r&B

if you gonna cite Roc the mic, you can cite What We Do.

can't stop is probably the only one that charted high
:skip:55 is a big difference from 97. That shyt was way bigger.

it's all relative. roc the mic was bigger, but WWD charted. That's all I'm saying. So it was hot enough to chart as a hit.

if you wanna disregard WWD, then you can cite Flipside it did better than WWD.
I never heard wwd or flipside on LA radio. Flipside bigger and more known, I'll give you that.

B2k movie made flipside hot. :yeshrug:

:what: This thread is literally careers that never took off because the artist couldn't write a hit.

Fabolous meets neither criteria. His career took off and he had a decade of platinum and gold albums and successful singles.
