Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This is a pretty good outing for Fab way back in 07. I like most of these songs. In fact only the last song,  wasn’t really that up to par for me. Loso spits really well over these nice beats. “Brooklyn” features Jay-Z…and who could forget about the amazing “Me Better” featuring Ne-Yo. The Swizz Beatz produced “Return of the Hustle” is also a banger. The beats are nice…but nothing really spectacular. Overall it’s a great album from an underrated rapper. Verdict: 8.9

Fab is one of the better East Coast mcs of the 2000s. He came out on September 11 th ,2001 ironically. The production is phenomenal. Lyrically he’s good too. This album doesn’t really sound as dated as you’d think it would. The singles are fire, but there are some other tracks I really like too: Right Now and Later On, Ma’be Easy, Ride For This, and The Bad Guy. Its got the right amount of guest spots too; Ja Rule, Lil Mo’ and Jagged Edge. Overall I’m not really sure Fab has matched this album. I mean maybe lyrically, but certainly not overall.  Verdict: 9.2

Fabolous has returned with one of his best albums yet. Its very well rounded with great lines from Fab and good beats. Theres not a lot of guests either, but there’s Chris Brown, French Montana, and even Kevin Hart. There’s nothing really new here, but many of the beats I’ve heard elsewhere but they’re good. The replay-ability is high here. It’s a good album, but at this point in his career I’m not sure the NY rapper can make a solid 9/10 album. This will do though. The verdict: 8.75/10. LOSO!
