Real Talk - Fabolous



Real Talk by Fabolous (2004)


Least Favorite: "Tit 4 Tat" ft. Pharell - "tit-tat" female vocal sample running through entire song wears on the nerves. and the beat sounds like something Pharell had sitting in his studio and just decided to give Fab instead of throwing it out. definitely recognizable as a Neptunes beat featuring their signature keyboards (almost interchangable with "Nothin'" by N.O.R.E.) but not one of their best.
"Can You Hear Me?" opening bar tribute to 2pac notwithstanding, not a very inspired song. female vocals on the hook make it that much worse.
"Holla At Somebody Real" ft. Lil Mo He rhymes "sake" with "broccoli" and there are vocals by Lil Mo to the tune of "Sukiyaki", nuf said.

Favorite: "Gangsta" & "Breathe"
Fab's really at his best on his own, without guest artists to detract from his lyrics.
