Ghetto Fabolous

Description

Fabolous- Ghetto FabolousAmazon.com Fabolous has been compared often to self-exiled MC Mase, but though his flow is reminiscent of the ex-Bad Boy's laid-back delivery, all similarities end there. Ghetto Fabolous might be an album that appeals to younger hip-hop heads, but more-discerning fans will find that the freshman artist makes several mistakes that blunt his debut's impact. The missteps include uninspired subject matter (illegal business dealings, ghetto flossing, and fighting off persistent groupies); gratuitous use of the words "thug," "gangsta," and "playa"; and an entire song centered around a Notorious B.I.G. riff ("Get Right" is a mediocre "Players Anthem" knockoff). On the plus side, the album's chock-full of guest appearances designed to please those aforementioned youngsters; Ja Rule's strident vocals on "Ride for This" almost drown out his host's more meticulous delivery. The album's one true bright spot is the dance-floor-friendly "Now and Later." With this one song, Fabolous lives up to the hype. --Rebecca Levine Product Description Most people have gotten to know Fabolous from his astonishing turn on Lil' Mo's current smash single and video "Superwoman Pt. II." But this 21-year-old Brooklyn native is no newcomer in the rap game -- it was back in 1998 that mixtape king DJ Clue signed him to Desert Storm Records, his new label. Now Clue and Desert Storm present Fabolous' debut album, Ghetto Fabolous, a mostly up-tempo party album laced with Fab's 'hood lingo. The first single, the aptly titled "Can't Deny It" featuring Nate Dogg, is already a smash even before impacting at radio, and the rest of the album boasts tracks produced by Clue, Duro, Rockwilder, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Timbaland and Rick Rock. Certified Gold by the RIAA. (10/01)
