Young Original Gangster.
The song “Young OG” appeared on Fabolous’ The Soul Tape 3. But now, Fab’s taking it a step further. While on the complex sneaker series Quickstrike, host DJ Clark Kent spilled the beans on Fab’s new album, Young OG (7:02 mark). So much for Loso’s Way 2?
YAWN!!!! AIN’T NOBODY CHECKIN’ FOR A FAB ALBUM!!!! WHO HE FOOLIN’!!!!

A fab mixtape tho is always classic
I agree, its been like 5 years since his last album. And i’m not sure that many people are interested anymore.
How when his mixtape download’s break records on site’s & even crash them ?
Blogs love when Fab drops, clicks for days.
YOU’RE GOING OFF ON MIXTAPE DOWNLOADS??!!! HA!!!! YOU FUCKIN’ CLOWN!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Original Gangster is a nice album name. It will definitely be amazing just like the song “Young OG” itself. I always though the sequel to Loso’s Way called LW2: Rise to Power did not fit as there was a Street Family mixtape with the same name with DJ Clue/Fab and his StreetFam boys and the album Loso’s Way did not sell due to his direction of that album.
FAB’S STREET TEAM UP IN HERE!!!! HA!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
US Billboard 2001US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums1US Billboard Top Rap Albums1US Billboard Top Soundtracks1’Losos way charts. And that album was dope. he didn’t go pop like all your favorite rappers. kept it drugs and G the way rap should be/
Yes, that was his first album to top the chart but compared to his other 4 albums which are platinum and gold, Loso’s Way still hasn’t reached gold yet for 5 years, it’s stuck below 400,000 sold. FAB is my fav rapper and has been since 2001, people didn’t buy LW because they though it was too focused on the ladies though the album was amazing and I loved it.
With Fab I dont think its about how much he sells cause regardless when he drops something he’s still gonna get played. The radio and Tv are gonna pick it up and the mixtape heads are at least gonna give it a listen once. I think he got older and got more mature lyrically. Unfortunately you gotta dumb shit down from people out here to relate. His rhymes are still dope and intricately put together but I think its too adult for the youth of Hip Hop. Also the sound of his could use a bit more flare, maybe time to get Just Blaze and Kanye on the phone for Young OG.
When I say too adult for the youth in Hip Hop… I mean many of the themes and topics Fab discusses in music are the perspectives of somebody who has lived those experiences. The youth cant understand that shit. JayZ is similar but there is an aura around his music that keeps the youth interested even when he says some shit they dont understand or relate to. Fab usually takes a more calm and calculated approach that I think loses alot of people even though the shit be dope.
Fabulous has problems holding down entire albums lyrically. Sometimes the longer he raps the weaker he gets lyrically and that Mase drawl that he raps in doesn’t help either.
I haven’t got that from a Fab album yet. I think lyrically he’s always on point.
I definitely understand what you’re saying. I tell people to listen to Fabolous and they say they don’t understand his lyrics, some say he’s too thuggish. The Get Back for example, fav track of the Soul Tape 3 and Gangsta Don’t Play off From Nothin’ To Somethin’, they definitely go over the top off new listeners heads. I can agree with Fab-Jay Z similarities, Fab even said in some songs he has to dumb down lyrics to get new fans, though Hov took that to a new level to get the youth interested as you said. Sometimes it’s Hov on the chorus, or the one-liners he uses to get people to even participate “Fuck it I want a billion”. I would really want Just Blaze on the album, he keeps me listening to Breathe, SO NY etc and a Kanye production could do wonders for Fab, “Like This” with DJ Clue-Fab-Kanye is another track I play often. For Loso’s Way 2, Fab said he was driving the direction of the album with the help of Pharell mainly and Ryan Leslie. Maybe that direction persuaded him to change the title
Im not necessarily saying Jayz dumbed it down to a high degree. Im saying because of who he is the youth is interested regardless and thats a difference between him and Fab. Thats what I mean about the aura of Jayz meaning it dont even matter what he says to the youth, just the fact he’s Jayz is enough but Jay always drops plenty of jewels. The difference is when jewels is coming from Fab, he doesn’t have the same kinda energy coming along with his music as Jayz does so its strictly about the rhyme and I dont think the youth can really personalize what he’s saying cause its alot of grown man shit.
Fab been fell off since his last album. Nobody is checking for fab anymore.
that’s not true. Cuffin Season and the remix were dope.

I’m from ny so you no I used to fuck with fabulous heavy nigga. Fab fell off 4 years ago.
Fab used to amazing, but now he’s so uninspired. He was close to getting that KofNY throne, when it mattered. I expect nothing less than Ne-Yo singles from here on out.
Fab it’s time for a Classic
Bout time he scraped Loso way 2, that album been suppose to drop next summer since 09
Fab is one of the REALEST LYRICIST. I cant wait for YOUNG OG
Do these dumb fucks realize fab been rapping for 14 years and still makes relevant music?? Ask ya bitch…..she was at la Marina all summer.
