[finessesosa]

This Never Let it Go fit with the album and its fire. Shoulda put it on it...

 

[vahustler]

bump.....this album is straight crack

best album from fab so far and I've heard all of them. That salute beat reminds me of something Norfolk Stateband use to play when they was best in the world imo.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. they need to go back and re-work that track

it had potential i guess after all it is fab and ne-yo, but the production made me sick

 

[da future nike rep]

That beat is basically the same beat that Brandi had for "Broken Hearted" on her first album.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Fabolous.... What are you doing?

 

[all19mjs]

1. "Loso's Way" by Fabolous: This is gonna be fun.....

I'm a HUGE "Carlito's Way" fan. It's a tale of conscience. A tale of a man being pulled in two directions: the streets and being a better human. It's just a great film. It ends tragically and if you haven't seen it, you suck at life. *end elitist rant* but for real.....

So....Fabolous announces that he's making an album called "Loso's Way" and we, the general public, assume it'll be a riveting album rife with street tales over dope beats. Fab's always had a decent ear for instrumentals and I saw footage of him in the studio with Sean C and LV vibing to what would later become "Bang Bang". What more do could we expect? Label formula states that every album needs a song for females, so personally I wanted something with a "Bonnie and Clyde"/"She'll put pistols in her panties like Karen Hill" direction for the ladies.....

Consistency.

I expected more "grime" with this album. I mean, with it taking direct inspiration from a movie about the street and how it can affect a man's morality, is that too much to want? Shoot, call Styles P or Beans in...they woulda been perfect on this joint for some hood balance.Hell, even Kiss is versatile enough...

"The Way (Intro)" is one of the most scathing tracks I've heard this year, with Fab being more aggressive than he usually is....then you have songs like "Throw It In The Bag" (it's catchy as @$@$ though) and "Makin' Love" featuring Ne-Yo (-__-) that have NO correlation to "CW" at all (FYI: "Last Kiss", "Deeper Than Rap" and "Loso's Way" ALL feature misplaced songs featuring Ne-yo). The reworked "When The Money Goes" isnt too bad, but it probably wouldve been better if I didn't hear Hova on it first. I will say that Fab was more personal on this album with tracks like "Pachanga","Stay" and "Lullaby" and even displays some storytelling ability on "I Miss My Love"; that's ALWAYS a plus especially when you consider his flashy playboy persona. I just dont get how some of these softer sounding songs made the album. I understand that it's a business first and you have to admit that Fab's probably top 5 right now in balancing the street/"commercial" line, but c'mon...Even the posse cut with Freck and Red Cafe was underwhelming (no shock there). For good measure, I added 3 bonus tracks that affected my second initial decision to like the album: "Bang Bang", "Toast To The Good Life" and "Welcome To My Workplace" (<-----is one of the hardest "coke raps" in recent times). Why these tracks didnt make an album with a theme like this one is beyond me but I dont make label decisions. For real though , The Dream on an album that takes inspiration from "Carlito's Way"?

I didn't like the album, then I liked after a few more spins....now I must say it was a bit disappointing in retrospect. I think Ghetto Fabolous is his best album.


*Loso's tweets did not affect any decisions in my rating this album #1 disappointment of recent times.*


From my blog....

Fabolous is overrated, he can make some ill music, but you guys over-hype this guy way too much. Personally, he's boring to listen to a majority of thetime.

 

[delete1234]

If you're saying Weezy had a dope verse then please go stand in the middle of traffic. Son's verse had me lost, it had no substances andwas just all over the place. I can feel my headache coming everytime his verse starts. Can't even play that song anymore.

This album is still gettin' heavy play, whole album was dope to me

 

[metrokid26]

"House full of bridezillas, that's mad ^$%&%#$"

I just picked up to that line,

, intro is dope. (Still like From Nuthin To Somethin)

Just cause they shooting a video doesn't mean it's a single.
