CD Reviews / News Mixtape review: Fabolous
Posted By Mike McCray on Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 5:03 PM
The Good: Fab holds on to his title as king of one-liners, I mean he was really consistent with the punchlines, finding about a dozen new ways to say he slayed someone... lyrically, of course. The piano and synth-heavy original tracks are cool but he shines over the familiar beats, so much so you'll wish he was on the official remixes. DJ Drama actually did more than loan his name to a mixtape, talking his usual shit.
The Bad: More than a little repetitive but the title and cover alone should've told you that. A few yawn-worthy guest appearances too.
The Verdict: Dope, free music. Everything you'd imagine.
Speaking of...
