[@ATLRoadToRICHES]

Fab tricky How many quality albums. Yeah Fab can spit. Will I listen to a whole fabulous album? He got some mixtapes that’s illa. What is Fab biggest hit Mainstream. Old New York love that hustler flow. Underrated maybe If U Know U Know Fab got bars. His personal life is personal till indictments come and that’s for everybody.

[@seancarter7954]

@@ATLRoadToRICHESfacts. Good take. I like the soul tapes better than most of his albums, except losos way.

[@Overtime70059]

Ghetto Fab, From nothing to something, LosoWay, the album with his son on the front. The rest is all his personal mixtapes. Fab is a Legend

FAB is nice period for years bro never fell off ever

[@Stantonthestandardstanding]

I remember how impactful it was the first time I heard, "I Can't Deny It" from Fabolous feat. Nate Dogg, I was thinking to myself, "how did this cat get Nate Dogg on his first record, he too new for that??" Once I heard the verses, I was like, "OK, this guy is phenomenal, lyrically." His career didn't disappoint since then, much love, Fab, been a fan since the Clue tapes. Incredible artist. This was a great interview.

[@PrinceDPuryear]

I’ll keep saying this, Fan definitely should be on that Top 50 list

Fabolous Is WithOut Question An All Time Great....This Is The First Real InterView That I Seen Him Do And I Am Very Happy To Have Witnessed It!!

[@boxbrown4755]

I grew up in Brooklyn along Fulton Street. Loved the music in the parks with the rappers. Glad to see and hear FAB talk about his Rap era. He deserves to be heard. He is passionate about his craft and that's what keeps him relevant. Those who are passionate about rap seek him out both young and old. He is definitely a GOAT and survivor! Thats why it's important to tell our history, to write our history and to be heard. Great show keep pivoting!

It’s the F.A.B.O.L.O.U.S (Loso Voice) Fab still the same guy, remember when he came to 258 in Bk on Halsey in the big body escalate truck, handing out the single for “Can’t Deny” and “Keeping it Gangsta”, always been solid since then and the extra few times i seen you, home town hero for sure, Salute king.

[@isaacdieli3743]

[@dustinjohnson1150]

My most influential rapper of all time.

[@BIGELLEAY]

I loved this interview. It was everything and then some. Coming up I heard Fab music but I don’t think I saw him too much do interviews. And this could’ve went all day; because Fab one of those dudes who has enough in the arsenal alone to do a Michael Jackson level world tour. He can headline shows himself and bring featured artist with him. And very few can do that where we would actually just want to hear just them. Fab 1 of none.

[@krisdub3528]
