Listening to Fab’s verse on the “Bricks” remix (BRICKS!) reminded me of something.
I have nothing against Mike Shorey.
I hold no grudges against Lil Mo, Jagged Edge, Ne-Yo. None of them either. They’re cool.
But when Mr. F-A-B-O is around Clue, his Street Fam cohorts & (old) Desert Storm teammates, he’s a much better listen. Steel sharpens steel so when you put throw Fab in the ring alongside cats like Pusha & Mal on “Joke’s On You” or with Cain, Budden & Freck, he brings his A-game that trumps all that syrupy shit. Don’t get me wrong because there’s an empty lane there thanks to Ja Rule & the shit sells records. What Fab has always lacked @ is satisfying his core fanbase by giving them the lyrically aggressive cat who tore up the mixtapes. And we are not satisfied with the rap ballads.
What I want is more early Clue tapes, Desert Storm Fab as opposed to the desserts he makes for radio. It doesn’t always have to be that way…but if it were, I wouldn’t be mad in the least.

I FUCKIN LOVED DESERT STORM / TRIANGLE OFFENSE
PAUL CAIN + FABO + BUDDEN = BETTER THAN SLAUGHTER HOUSE FOR HIPHOP
Some niggas thug, and some niggas is bitch
Some niggas’ll rob, and some niggas’ll pitch
Some niggas ain’t got shit, some niggas rich
Some niggas do the time, and some live as a snitch
@ sir G – cosign 1000%…Fab IS THAT DUDE (pause)…he needs to drop double albums – one disc for the fellas fulla grimey lyrical shit (like loso’s way) and one disc for the ladies/clubs…dude needs to make me his manager
btw paul cain is one old lookin mof-hucker…dude looks like he should be on a rocking chair somewhere watchin wrasslin
Best song on the album.
if someone ever made a best-of-fab with all his DJ CLUE appearances..
dude spit firsta and 4th on every clue tape with the hardest shit ever
then i found out he had same ghost writer as banks and theyd spit the same fuckin punchlines in the same week and it got weak
id still rock alllllllll fabolous’ jams today tho
any links for best- of on his clue grizzly?
@ TC…so true..I agree totally. Though the likelyhood of Fab ever creating an album full of music like that is slim to never..we’ll just have to wait until Loso’s Way drops.
Frecks and Buddens really killed this track too.
Fab is cool.
Too bad he sounds like a faggot when off the mic.
But he could be a undercover gay though..
Dude is suspect.
Them as a crew – SLK (Street Life Kingz) are notorious for relieving every motherfucker and their bodyguards for ALL the ice and extorting them for years
most gangsterest crew from Cali to Jerz
Gotty – how bout a likkle SLK post with some interviews, news articles, stories and shit to shed some light on SLK?
They were extorting BIGGIE for the last 3 years of his life when he blew up .. they RUN brooklyn
oh and to the homo fucks up to
Paul Cain could put a mill cash on the corner in bedstuy and come back an hour later and there would be another hundred grand in donations to em
Fab aint homo, dude bags more model ass than a G5 jet bathroom
NO KANYE,
Street Fididididaaam!!! That “Loso’s Way” mixtape is classic, Fab needs to put out a new compilation album with the Fam for real.
what is this from? Fab kills it.
That “Loso’s Way” mixtape is classic
==========
I was racking my brain trying to remember that last bomb mixtape he dropped. THANK YOU.
Cain = that dude.
SLK (Street Life Kingz)
========
Never heard of’em. Got links or anything?
Unless he goes the indy route, mixtapes will be the source for these kin of songs from Fab.
GOTTY –
its kinda like finding Black Mafia Family links
they do a good job of keeping it low but its out there
when Fabo shot got, they ran mad stories bout how it was retaliation
and how Fab uses his rapper fame as a way to get his entourage INTO the parties with all the new celebs and basketall players.. where they socialize, mingle with the new money and then relieve them of all their wealth and extort them for wealth
Fab doesnt sell nuf records to have all that jewelry.. he melts down other niggas shit
