Not really you just had to have connections. Plenty of untalented rappers got famous purely because they had connections in the industry that could push their song on the radio.
Yess!!!!N the time we heard it in u couldn't jus type it in RUclips and listen lol.I had a burned CD with that track on it and i listened to it over n over as a kid lolsz good times
Fab is underrated and unappreciated I’ve seen him live in South Padre Island Texas 2002 or 2003 this man wrecked that show line was down the street literally he’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖊✍🏾🎤
I think fabulous one of the most underrated lyricist ever. He’s been able to adapt in every era with not much recognition. I put him up there with the greats.
I think Fab is terribly underrated, he doesn't get enough recognition for how much he's contributed to hip hop, and how dope of an artist he is. I never heard a bad verse from him❤
Born and raised in New York, and I always say we have this wall up, but we are really friendly people. And the streets in New York will make you harder than you have to be and then two people will start talking and become best friends so you gotta understand that New York State of mind they made us different made us too hard peace and love.
As a 5 percenter they got us all like that in every state against 1 another. So if we're against our next door neighbor in our own city how we gonna treat a outsider outside our city or better yet our states
When you first came out,I drove all the way to New York bangin ya album & didn't even know where I was goin, just feelin the music had me amped.That's why I still fuck wit you nowadays & paid $60 for ya CD which I had to get from overseas cause couldn't find in USA(soul tape)..I never ever paid that much for a CD!!
Facts it was way different my Fab was grinding underground mixtaps and shit. Niggas don't understand 1999-2001 was probably the hardest time gettin on it didn't matter if you was from the same hood so what you had to prove ya self. You had to be battle tested and you also had to battle for ya deals. Rap was a sport at the time.
Mr. Longevity, never a wack lyric. I scrolled down a bit and was reminded that joint " breath" is tight work a timeless classic. A great example of fabs skills. And that beat hot🔥🔥

Big facts
Not really you just had to have connections. Plenty of untalented rappers got famous purely because they had connections in the industry that could push their song on the radio.
@@flamee23312not exactly connections, but if someone was feeling your style and rap they would introduce you
Fabulous is a true lrycist
Just like Banks. I put them in the same category 💯🗽
💯he’s one of favs MC’s of all time
He said them niggas roll up on you like a escalator
Y’all lean punchline artist right

Probably the most underrated rapper of all time
Fabolous always the top pedigree of rapper.
“Breathe” ALONE certified Fab as a legend, to this day I still get goosebumps listenin Ti that absolute BANGER of a track
Yess!!!!N the time we heard it in u couldn't jus type it in RUclips and listen lol.I had a burned CD with that track on it and i listened to it over n over as a kid lolsz good times
@@gottizway1375I was obsessed with that REAL TALK album! Real talk is up their with RTD, AOM, paid in full etc
My God fearing, up at 3 am praying, holy ghost filled grandma loves this song. I remember when it dropped and I remember her reaction.
@@IsraelaIAM 😂 that’s awesome lol props to your grandma for recognizing hands down one of the greatest HipHop tracks from the past 30years 🫡🫡🫡
one of my songs to workout too pumps me up when it comes on
Back then you actually had to prove yourself. Simply put
“You gotta do your thing until somebody recognize you rather than lookin for people to really recognize you “ ⚡️💯💣🎯✉️
Fabolous is one the best of best FAM
90s to 2000s rappers were students of the game....appreciate that they're still holding it down from these other wack artists
FIRST OF ALL, WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ON WHAT YOU CANNOT DO YA DAMN SELF? STOP TRYING TO IMPRESS MFS LIKE YOU BY HATING ON STRANGERS.
what wack artist please name?
Every rapper
One of the most underrated, slept on dudes in rap history. His mixtapes will destroy most other mixtapes and LPs. Funeral Service!!! 💪🏾🍾
Facts!
That's not a difficult feat to pull off. Mixtapes have classics everywhere. To pull off an album classic you need something generational.
This man is genuinely a great human being. Salute 🫡
Fab in my top 5 for sure
Mine too
Absolutely!
Big facts !!!
One of the kings of New York
One of the most underrated rappers

I think Fab is terribly underrated, he doesn't get enough recognition for how much he's contributed to hip hop, and how dope of an artist he is. I never heard a bad verse from him❤
Rappers rapped and moved the culture. Now they just clout chase and want all the accolades for nothing.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO HATE ON A CULTURE YOU'RE NOT A PART OF.
Absolutely
You know little about rap then.
@@charliebrown4697Everything he just said was right.
@@CassundraHolifieldThis culture is pure trash.
To this all three soul tapes and the summer shootouts still get play when I drive💯
Fab a real one, still fuck with his shit all day!
One of the greatest artists I respect. His craft, adaptability, style and demeanor is truly amazing and without being too much.
That sweater is amazing
Born and raised in New York, and I always say we have this wall up, but we are really friendly people.

Underrated artist nothing but mad respect
All that pride keeps us from getting special moments until it's too late for the masses to care.
Fab the punchline KING 👑😊
Can fit in any era
Old heads gate keeping the game back in the day , with the internet they can’t do that no more.
Well I love him!!❤
Fab is definitely top 10
High level conversation most gen z's and border line gen zs won't get it!
Mr. Longevity, never a wack lyric. I scrolled down a bit and was reminded that joint " breath" is tight work a timeless classic. A great example of fabs skills. And that beat hot🔥🔥
Still top 3 rn..🙅🏾♂️💯
It’s New York America and everything else..😏💯
What he means is: back then you had to have talent in order to be respected. Nowadays ANY artist is respected without having talent
Fab Is Ah Excellent Writer... In My Top 7 Easy....
That rocafella chain was like the chain of all chains right up there with Terror Squad back in the day stg
