Product Description

Fabolous has spent the last 10 years solidifying himself as one of the most consistent rappers in music history. Fabolous has sold over 4 million albums since his 2001 debut album Ghetto Fabolous. Earlier this summer Fabolous dropped arguably the best mixtape of 2010. The There Is No Competition 2 (The Funeral Service) mixtape had the hip hop scene buzzing with street anthems like "Body Ya" and "Body Bag" ft. Cam'ron & Vado. This mixtape contains 3 new street anthems. The mixtape world is coming to retail finally.

Fabolous returns after just over a year to bring his 7th mainstream solo album/mixtape since his debut (which dropped on 9/11/01 he also has one sort of `group' album that I own). This one I'd say is a low 4 star album, and that's about all I expect from his albums now-a-days. Here's my breakdown of his other albums:

"Ghetto Fabolous" (9/01) --- 4 stars

"Street Dreams" (3/03) --- 3.5/3 stars

"More Street Dreams Pt. 2" (11/03) --- 3.5 stars

"Real Talk" (11/04) --- 4 stars

"From Nothin to Somethin" (6/07) --- low 4 stars

"Loso's Way" (7/09) --- 4 stars

Fabolous & Street Fam present "Loso's Way: Rise to Power" (6/06) --- 4 stars

Like I said in a lot of his previous album reviews, I'm not expecting anything great like myself (and many others I'm sure) were when he first starting being heard & caught everyone's attention around 1999. No doubt he has very high potential and is a very good lyricist, but he also throws in (in my opinion) way too many radio friendly and songs for the ladies on his albums, that serve nothing more than filler material in my opinion. This one is short, with 8 songs. 4 are goo, 4 are ok. Guests are on only 2 songs, so though it is a short album, at least you get a fair share of F-A-B-O. Production is nothing special really. I.N.F.O. and Sonaro each do 2 songs, Ryan Leslie, Amadeus, Jahil Beats, Lex Luger each do 1. If you're a huge fan or can find it a nice cheaper price (it's only 8 songs and under 30 mins.) I'd pick it up, but he has done better on other material.

#2 - 7.5 (nice lyrics, very simple beat)

#3 - 9 (good beat)

#4 - 8.5

#5 - 9 (nice beat)

#6 - 6.5 (f/ Cam'ron & Vado)

#7 - 8

#8 - 8.5 (f/ Red Café & Lorel)

#9 - 7

Another good cd by Fabolous. Just wish there was more tracks on here. Eight songs isn't enough. (2 interludes, intro & outro)
