Some of y'all are really forgetting how much play Fab had in the early 2000s. His singles were all over the radio and the videos were in heavy rotation.
papertrail wasn't even his biggest album that was king which is when he was one of the biggest names in rap at that time.
word of mouth and back for the first time both outsold and was much bigger albums then papertrail.

They outsold him because of the era's nikka lol , Paper Trail for white people is his msot popular album and went 2x plat soooo

All Star
he has two platinum albums and two golds albums he did blow up
Sometimes its better to have that mid level career instead of superstardom....seem like with superstardom its a lot harder to live up to your previous success,hits and people get tired of you quicker cuz you was everywhere....its a lot of nikkas who "didn't blow up" but would be superstars in this era with this weak compeetetion
imagine a Fab or Young Dro debuting in 2012 and being anything less than megastars instead of C level they was in the 2000
..but Fab is a nikka that folks check for but just may have 0 faith in his albums at this point....and I mostly mean dudes already have the idea of who his albums cater too....but those mixtapes
? Weve seen everybody from Jay,Z to Rich Hommie Quan to Project Pat say they was fans of Fab
...he is a rappers rapper and will always have people check for em on that level long as he stay consistent,and to me he's putting out better music than he ever has and the bars got more replay than a lot of those puncline filled joints that come off corny today even though I was 
first time I mighta heard it.

Nas is not in that global class
anyway, fab is a great rapper but shyt like Holla Back, cant deny it, trade it all and that lil mo shiet don't stand the test of time. in fact, they're a couple of bars away from being cringeworthy.
if he had more radio singles like Lights out, Breathe instead of make me better and throw it in the bag, it would've benefited him more in the long run.
I agree...

Superstar
Like others said, Fab had incredible career. He (and Jadakiss) had his chance when Jay retired to be the one but he didn't didn't take advantage of it. Fab never dropped a great album. His mixtapes are always better than his albums. Never had a real vision or direction because he doesn't have a go-to producer. He's just a follower, like Jada.
He could've did features on love shyt and kept it hood for his own shyt. What are you missing?
