Fab is a boss in the game. His music is so underrated, but them bars🔥
Nobody sleeps on fab. If you are into rap, you already know what fab brings to the table. His albums has done nothing less than gold so that should tell yall alot of people listen to him.
KENNY KA$H 💯
Man fab a beast. U dont feel fab then u just dry as sh**
Very consistent rapper & bars are always on point
KENNY KA$H good music doesn’t make him a “boss”.
By the lyrics in his songs, the overall sound and vibe, and this interview, I am so blown away by what an articulate, all around smooth / cool, and just simply genius, human being Fabulous is. Maybe not only the most underrated rapper of all time, but most underrated human as well.
Fab wordplay has always been 🔥
Facts
Morgan J 4043869055 right
Where u frm
That Soul Tape series was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still is. Substance in those tracks
You on some bullshit, but you ain't Derrick Rose
Classic
He seems like a genuine, nice dude.
This is one of the greatest interviews Fab has done. The questions asked were great and we got to hear him talk about his first steps into rap. Thanks Brett Berish!
FACTS FAMMO!!!!
Yea cause for a someone as talented as Fab is with the wordplay he don’t really get into much of his personal life on records.
Very open interview
Love when Fab speaks and opens up. We need that in an album.
WTF???sisss
FAB is dope. His energy is chill.
FAB!!!!! this man is on his own level as far as swagg, smooth flow, poise, calm demeanor, best dressed & doesn't have to say much for u to notice him. His underrated bars & longevity makes him the MAN today. But nobody is SELF-MADE cuz GOD MADE MAN!!!!
U might as well take him to dinner 😂
U a funny as nigga lol. Not on no sweet shit but Fab my nigga. Don't do that 😄😄😒
@@MrHighflyer98 lmaol... and then make him breakfast in the morning.
lmaooo
@kva5004 lmaoo. Real talk though this Tommy dude is right. I was on the fence with Fab (didn’t like him or dislike him) but after this interview I have to say Fab is right up there with all the Real truest Hip Hop Legends! Tupac, Nip, TLC, Aliyah and the list goes on. 💯
Soooo underrated! Legendary rapper 💯 Lyricism, punch lines, timing, distinct voice, swag & flow, humor, ability to freestyle etc Fab has it all. Still remember hearing him freestyle on radio when I was heading home from school. Definitely an inspiration & TOP 5 rappers for me personally.!
I could not have said all that any better!
🤜🤛
My mind is blown by how well spoken, smooth, and simply genius Fabolous is (and I'm a middle-aged white guy). 😊
Top 3 far as I'm concerned Fab so underrated it's criminal.
Jonathan Minor Word!
Big facts!!

“Holla back Young’n! Woo Woo!”
Soultape
Love the interview! The interviewer was on point he asked all the right questions and really drew Fab out his cool shell. I know this had to be therapeutic for Loso because he rarely opens up so as a fan I really enjoyed this segment. It made me appreciate Fab more as an artist!!!
word.
True n you fine let me be ya Jay-z you be my Beyoncé
Love his music, style, demeanor. He's low-key, but exclusively loud ❤️
He has a great mom and he is very self aware. He was raised right.
This is like a therapy session. Props to the interviewer.
he knows he's nice with it but seems real cool and humble
This shows exactly why we need to get rid of the negative parts of our Hood Mentality... there's so many talented people from the Struggle... and some just need to realise it.
Blackpixels Shout out to this comment 〽️
👏 Can we give a round of applause for Fab's skincare routine 👏
Good BLACK don't Crack!
😂 that's awesome
When I was hearin about Fab nobody had a picture of him just these bars from the mixtapes until the video for I cant deny it and superwoman. It was dope that you couldnt really find out too much about artists back then until they broke, it let the art shine more.
And everybody thought it was mase spelling F.A.B.O.L.O.U.S
I didn't get that he sounded like Mase until Mase mentioned it, then I heard a little similarity.
@@villavelli I remember telling people mase was back cause fab dropped right when mase left after the 2nd album
31membami Fabs rhymes were neatly put together and his bars ended wit three or thour syllabes rhyming with the line he said before. Mase rhyme schemes wasn't organized so I knew right away.
Alfonso G Only one I seen it really happen with was The Weeknd, when i found out about the others I could find their images everywhere. Its a hard thing to do in this era.
Fab is a legend came in in the middle of the lox’s and diddy kick in the door 🚪 wordsmith genius.....💯💯⏭👍🏼📍
My favorite rapper! One of the most UNDERRATED artist.! #TeamLOSO
Been One Of My Favorites Rappers Since I Could Remember. Good Interview
Sejiro Agosa ‼️❗️❕❕💯
The evolution of fab is amazing , plus he has a background in art and design , NY4 life.
Back in Jersey when we first started listening to Fab on Clue mixtapes we was calling him "Fabolous Sport" and he stood out alot because he sounded like Mase.
Yea that was his name he had stickers all over Brooklyn that said Fabulous Sport he had a good buzz before clue
INSITE
@@johndoe-sh9sg u making NJ sound feminine, all loud and excited.
Real OG... Underrated Genius
Top 2 punchliner / metaphorer of All Time !!!!!
What about Banks
Da,Taper I thought that too then I saw your comment.
Guys he said TOP 2...so y'all can put Banks as number 1 or 2....it's enough room for both..lol sheesh.
Gotta thank DJ Clue for giving Fab that window to shine and him capitalizing. One of my favorite MCs and inspirations for just starting out making music and did my first recording over Young OG. Great interview
Mase 1st boy got his whole flow from mase all he did was listen to mase's flow
@@castolano lol yeah he said that in the interview he copied other people flow until he could come into his own, I never said he created a flow lol
This interview is dope. Fab is a rap legend and he is humble. His speaking ability is sound as well because he doesn’t use any fillers in his speech. Salute king 🔥🤙🏽
One of the best lyricist ever. One of my favs F.A.B.O.L.O.U.S
Painter and drawers are rappers without words. Explore Your Talents.
Fab is my favorite today & of all time, I pretty much can rap any song u play from him, done seen all his interviews everything bro I’m waiting for his next project I’m such a dye hard fan I can wait
King Lambert612 “I ain’t seen an ATM in ten years nigga “ where’s this line from ?
Same here
@@taffygore6285 Shook Ones Freestyle.😎
Me 2
Fab’s story is so well told. Definitely one if the most underrated rappers out there.
“Fab always been nice...Let’s clear that up...That only thing that fux me up about Fab....He dress to Good”.
Memphis Bleek! #Facts..😂😂
That's cus em was his stylist u better do ur research. That's y he jus went head and wife her up on the low. He put her on.
That was the truest shit ever said ....#Memphis
From "RATE THE BARS" videos😂
Fab like the DWade of the Rap game🙌

Stop acting like he be dropping projects #retirement
Nah g more like jamal crawford. His flow transcends time just jamal crawford game does
Aaron Murrell yeah you hit right on the nail
@@timetogetit7225 Fuckoudda here lmao he dropped Friday On Elm Street with Jada one of his most classic shit just a couple years ago and he drops bangers all the time.
I learned how to dress and be fresh growing up cuz of Fab lol
Edit: Life is so exciting, is one of my favorite verses of all time no cap.
Al Joseph and dip set
I'm from GA came up on Luda Jeezy Ti etc Fab an Juelz was da 1st NY artist i ever respected i remember dat old ass song Breathe he had been a fan since
One of the most humble ones in the game. Legend in his own lane
Definitely one of the nicest of all time. Brooklyn bring that money back!
I hit subscribe just because you interviewed Fab... no one EVER interviews Fab! He's in my top 10 post-2000 mcs lol!
One of my favorite rappers of all time. 🏆
Ghetto Fabolous was the first real album I’ve ever bought from the store(Tower Records). Fab Top 10 all time to me

Fab influenced the throwback 🌊 for me in 02
Hell Yea..."A Throwback so old it will make your grandma stare" -Fabolous.
Fab 40 plus, still looking like he’s in his 20s.

Brittney Brown factory!!!!
Rip to those who died on 9/11.
Nice to see that Fabolous applied the ' Value your time.' principle on his way up the success ladder.
Amazing interview! Great content Fabulous needs to more interviews. He is such a humble and professional person.
Thank you for this interview.
This is a notch interview I do not what to call him a rapper he's an MC very intelligent. Fab is the man.
Only 🐐 that been has been pushing since the late 90s till now and is still wavy like he hoped into the game yesterday #Bigfacts #myfabulouslyf
Took him 15 years but through consistency and steady improvement, Fab has become my favorite artist. 🐐
I wish this interview was longer, super inspiring

Fab The OG 💯💪🏾 Always Rocked Wit Fab He Hella Underrated Music Always Was 🔥And OG Always Had The Drip 💧 Since The Early 2000’s
Fabolous is pure, very inspiring to see him in full form.
This interview was incredibly done.
Chris Larusso definitely!
Fabulous hasn't done a song with AZ. We need to make that happen
I know right
“I’m Young OG but you can call me Yogi”
I always liked that line🔥
What made me respect fab besides him being on all clue mixtapes. Was more street dreams pt2. He killed that whole mixtape bar for bars like crazy.
Y'all really need to listen to his early body of work, meaning the mixtapes (look up the original "loso's way", not the later album release), his freestyles and throwaways. Shits ridiculous how talented dude is. Greatest punchline rapper ever.
Fab is God MC level
Young OG is my inspiration 💪
Fab's music is always so fresh.. Them bars 🔥
i love this interview... classic....just a positive vibe and understanding in life and growth and passion......
A.S.A.P KAY KAY IMERI smell like money and so comfortable.
Honorable dude real stand up type of guy big factz
My freshman year in college I was jamming that No Competition hard to class
Nana Gyambibi That whole series was CRAZY. Him and Freck so cold on a track.
Interviewer look like Robin Williams
Buggin
mixed with a lil bit of Bill Murray
This is not a interview to me. It’s much more. Realty
I really Fucks wit Losso.from the way this is put together in the editing, I am inspired to reactivate my celebrity interviews here in Africa [Uganda to be exact]
Def a good interviewer
One of the best lyricist ever. Unbelievable pen. And so smooth. Hopefully we get a new album from him n 2024
Great to see loso open up about this story thank you luc belair and much love to loso and the family
Fab is the most underrated!!
Loved the explanation of the name!!!

Soul Tapes and Triangle Offense... Real heads recognize...

Summertime shootout
Summertime shootout a classic mixtape

Hearing Fab talk about our first time working on music bought back so many memories of us doing what we love before the money. I always knew he would be great, I appreciate his honesty and advice for everyone who thinks this is just a dream. Go for ya goals. 2 Kids from Brevoort Houses.
I've been mad for years that no Fab demos or early songs leaked. Not one. Nothing from 1997 or 1996 has been put on UA-cam. You gotta upload at least that song he talked about!
Drop that demo bitch or go back to the projects we don’t want to read about you being grateful we want fab music
He left you in the projects?
@@johndoe-sh9sg honestly bro. Everyone who was around doing music with me is doing well making 6 figures yearly and living. Not offended by your question at all . I've been blessed to produce for industry artist since the age of 17. Stay up.
"Black Hoodie, I pull that Quattro Cinco (45) out it put that Iron to ure clothes like im take wrinkles out it. Take every FRANKLIN, GRANT, JACKSON, LINCOLN out it, look u in in ure eyes 👀 & tell u DON'T U EVEN THINK ABOUT IT"!!!!!! That was by far the hardest most griddy, goonish bar I ever heard from a rap artist. Pssh Fab that BOY!!! U HEAR 👂 ME?????
FAB is MY KING OF RAP!!!!!!! HE HAS BARS FOR DAYS, ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!
I remember that day on hot 97. Fabulous Sport.
Lyrics, consistency, content, crossover appeal, longevity, trendsetter impact, live show presence, Fab aced it all. In this era of "controversy sells", his reserved nature kept him out of the tabloid spotlight, and as a result off of the casual listener's radar. Any hip-hop admirer or industry rep knows he's hands down one of the best to rap. Easily one of the best punchline artist's with a unique ability to reference pop culture and current events in songs, for example: "Giving passes ain't easy, I'm ruthless like Eazy / want beef? I'm like Ruth's Chris, that's easy / take your top off, make you roofless that easy... met a shorty, her dress fit so well / best catch in the game since Odell " Salute!
Superb interview! Been a fan of Fab since his Superwoman verse. Still rockin' all of his hits to this day.
I think the crazy thing about Fab era if you didn’t rap like Rakim,2Pac or Nas to name a few you were intimidated. Now in rap anyone can rap because there’s a lot non serious artist !
U right cuz when i was in high school back in 02, u couldnt join a chyper if u didnt have serious bar work. No flow,no punchlines,no metaphors ,you couldnt join in..
TOP 5 💯💯💯
Fab your a genius, general of the game. Man, listen I'm a fan at what you display in the world of music, real listeners appreciate your hard work and what you bring too the table as an artist. If it's controlling your girl or getting money. Real talk. I love what you do....!
Dope interview! Glad you got Fab!
Dope interview. Awesome questions to get Fab to go deeper into his history. Good one 🙏🙏
One of the best rappers still in the game !
Fab the Great 🙌🏾
This was a FABOLOUS interview
One of my biggest inspirations!
Shan Music facts
Been rockin with fab since ghetto fabolous 💪💪💪💪💪
i remember people used to ask me who are you listening to and i'd say Fabolous Sport.
How you dislike an humble person an a very humble video folks hate for no reason smh
This interview is inspiring & insightful.
