Will Fabolous ever drop an album that isn't complete trash?

young OG was a pretty solid album actually and the soul tapes should count as albums as well. Fab can spit and give you hard bars which at the end of the day is why he still regarded as one of the best. 2, He's probably one of the only rappers from the 2000's that can adapt to any era, and great at it too. It is what it is, but that joint album with Jada was fire af, especially Soul Food :wow:

How is he adapting to the new Era if he's been flopping this whole decade?

Also, that summer autotune song was terrible.

If he listened to me about 5-7 years ago he’d have a classic or two right now. Best Fab you gonna get now is on features… and he has some with nikkas that RAP for real. He got some shyt coming tho.

I always felt like Fab’s stagnation always boiled down to he was a superficial rapper void of anything noteworthy to speak on

Its why I avoided buying anything from The Kiss (Love Him) Cass, Banks, Fab type of crowd

He’s been out for decades but what do you know about him? Sure LL wasn’t the most introspective guy but LL is a legend and it worked for him.

Fab had nothing to offer on a transcendent level so he chased trend after trend after trend. Production, slang, song making etc It never originated with him but he certainly took a swipe at it

He didn’t give birth to any sound nor innovative approach to making albums.

Albeit successful, Fab represents how the wheels came off of NYC. Not as imaginative, charismatic, talented or creative as his predecessors but ripe with connections.

Soul Tapes are probably his greatest work. The Friday Night Lights or whatever that was called as well. I haven’t heard a single front to back album of his that was good.

Agreed.

He was never introspective enough.

He had songs that sounds like he tried but they were surface level AF.

How ironic he dropped Soul Tapes and he spit like he was devoid of one. I feel like an idiot for even copping his albums. But i pulled up on so many dark skin baddies in South Carolina blastin Right Now & Later On when his debut dropped :blessed:
