Fab spoke to MTV recently about his new Def Jam album “From Nothin To Somethin”, and his upcoming plans for the project, and what life has been like for him in between albums. “We got to work with a lot of people we felt would make the album better. Production-wise, the lineup is like the Yankees: Timbaland, Akon, Jermaine Dupri, Just Blaze, Polow Da Don, Neo ‘The Matrix.’ ... We got great features, too. Each person, I could hear them making the song better. Lil’ Mo, Cassidy … we got a very deep, well-rounded album.”
“I been through situations I never been in before in my life…I got shot, been arrested, been in a relationship. I’m past really rapping for my block or my projects. I’m trying to grow. We been working really hard. I took two months and worked in Miami , then I came back to New York and worked another three months.”
Neyo, who also appears on the album, offered a quote about Fab’s latest single “Make me Better” , saying: “Timbaland produced the track,”“The way the song came together, it’s actually a track that Jay-Z brought to my attention. He said, ‘Tim gave me this track, but it sounds more like an R&B track than a hip-hop track.
I really think you should do something to it.’ So I wrote the hook, did some verses, and Fab heard it. He said, ‘You should let me get on that with you.’ Then Fab did some verses and I liked some of his stuff more than my stuff, so I was like, ‘You should just take the damn song.’ The rest is history. The chemistry is so right, it sounds like we were there [in the studio] together.”
Fabolous shared the sentiment, adding: “It’s a great record… We get a lot of love across the country everywhere we play it. It leans towards the ladies, but it’s a swagger record. The fellas could dig it too. The fellas are picking up lines from it. They telling ladies, ‘I’m cool, but you make me a better person.’ I’m happy everybody is receiving it well.
“When you make a relationship song, it’s relatable…A lot of people have been in the position when you’ve been the main person or the mistress. Or maybe you had somebody on the side … at least once in their life. It’s just relatable music. Same thing with ‘Make Me Better.’ You find that person in your life, then the haters, their antennas go up.”
Scheduled to drop on June 10th, This looks to be one of F-A-B’s most promising albums.

Yeah, Fabolous is one of the best, but if you check the track listing under rumors, he's only got 2 songs where it's just him...hopefully all those guests won't steal the spotlight. Otherwise, Lookin forward to it!

i hope none of yall is gon bootleg this shit, they way yall praising fab. it aint nuthin wrong wit coppin a bootleg,listenin to it, and then buying the real thing if its fire.
i hope he got a song on here like how cass had 6 minutes of death, cuz he killed weezy and cass on that shit.
im buying this,papoose,redman, and bone thugs. please if you gon bootleg, but the real thing was you like it.
that last part should say buy the real thing if you like it.
FAB GOT TO DO IT BIG FOR BK. HE GOT A LOT OF OTHER NIGGAS FROM BK OUT THERE TOO LIKE MAINO, PAPOOSE, AND UNCLE MURDER. HE SHOULD THROW SOME OF THEM NIGGAS ON THE ALBUM. NOT PAUL CAIN THOUGH. NO PAUL CAINE PLEASE.
Fab is aight I guess...I'll burn it
Fab is wack... to me... I'll be damned if I waste my $ on a damn Fab cd... It's like puttin' Hersey Hawkins on your fantasy team... not happenin... Unless he come out spittin some super non-gimmicky lyrics... which we all know he is not... I love seein' any black man doin' his thing, or TRYNNA do his thing so I got love 4 him, but nah, he ain't my style @ all... Last hot RAP cd I HEARD: Redman, RED GONE WILD... That's my 63 cents... 1
Everybody gon burn, bootleg, or download it. Cats talking "Oh, it's gonna be hot" Yeah we all gon have a hot copy. The sad thing is even if his album is 5 mic caliber or xxl rating it won't even go gold and he will be labeled a flop. "Predictions like I'm Cleo" lol. Fuck it! I'll buy it, Who wit me? 5000
I usually download then buy, but i'm not even gonna do that. Fab's one of my favorites, so I'm straight buyin this one
^^^^^ thats the same with me....im with u bra

--- Stop right there! It's okay to be hypothetical, but ALL of us know, who have AND use common sense, that Fab's ass is NOT gonna drop anything close 2 5 mic caliber... It's gonna have to rival Illmatic, Stillmatic, the Blueprint, the Score, The Fix, Low End Theory, Aquemini... these are straight classics... I'm puttin' the pressure on Fab... I'nt think he has it in him... 3 1/2 @ BEST is my prediction!
i dont know that track with jeezy seemed like garbage to me not hating just keeping it real i hope he got better tracks
Diamonds on my Damn Chain remix is my jam right now
Weezy kills that track and Jeezy backs up the hook with a solid verse... if thats the first single off his new album, it will sell crazy

RichYung,
You gotta be able to get offa her old shit... That's what made the Naked Truth so lyrically vicious cause she GOT OFF OF her old stuff and just attacked everybody... It was like a spiritual cleansing for her... She only did like 2 or 3 of them corny tracks but the rest of it WAS LOADED WITH FIRE DOG... Like at least 10-11 cuts of straight FIRE... Did you hear There's Somethin' About Remy? It doesn't even come CLOSE to the Naked Truth, or even Hard Core for that matter. Remy cannot fuck with Kim... She's on another level... However, she's shown that she can make hits so I'm not sure why she doesn't sell: Whuteva, Conceited, the joint with Ne-Yo... oh yeah, Feels So Good... she's aiight but when she lost Pun, she kind of lost her "SHOT" you know? She can't do it on her own... Kim can, cause she BLEW when Big was here...
widely anticipated as papooses album
PAPOOSES ALBUM ISN'T WIDELY ANTICIPATED. MATTER OF FACT HE WILL PROBABLY BE COMMANDED TO RETURN HIS 1 MIL ANY TIME NOW
right? hahahaha, who's anticipating Papoose's album? Hahahaha, I'm damn sure not! Duke doesn't even have an official single yet... hahahaa
