"Loso's Way" will be Fab's fifth studio album and will pay homage to Al Pacino's cult classic, "Carlito's Way."
The film follows Al Pacino as the lead character, Carlito Brigante, a smooth talking hustler and his struggles after prison trying to live a law abiding life.
"I think we had some similarities," Fab Tells SOHH. "Carlito was a street dude trying to make the transition from the streets to something better. That's where I felt like I was at in my point in my life of becoming a hip-hop artist and making that transition from the streets to a hip-hip artist."
Fab has tapped numerous producers for the project including Dj Toomp and Jermaine Dupri.
In other news…
"I told them the situation of the album and the theme everybody played into that," Fabolous explained. "Some people went back and watched the movie. They were on page with me. They knew where I was going. It wasn't people just coming in there and just playing some beat CDs and you pick a beat."
Rumored guest appearances on the album are Jadakiss, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, 50 Cent, Paul Cain, Cassidy, Red Cafe, Asia Cruise, Joe Budden and Freck Billionaire
"Loso's Way" will be hitting stores during the first week of Februar 2009.

Drywall
Young Apex, FINALLY some1 agrees with me! I say you can't even call an album a classic until at least a year after being released. A classic is an album that is TIMELESS meaning it is still relevant 10 years later. You can't listen to an album for a week and decide it is a classic. Even if it is by your favorite rapper. I also hate the term "instant classic". PEACE listening to "P-Body" by Sean Price (Hot Shit!!) Come check out The Livin' Large Morning Show Hip-Hop/N.F.L. Special w/ Bobby Livin', and Tony Large Sundays 11am-1pm EST at www.clubmegamix.com.
WTF?>>>NEED TO STOP SAYING THE WORD "CLASSIC" CUZ ITS STARTING TO TAKE AWAY FROM AND DISRESPECT THE REAL CLASSIC ARTIST & ALBUMS...
^^^Coming from a Lil Wayne Band Wagon rider.
Clearly, you didn't read the post... it said, "...get the classic material ready." I don't know if the album will be classic. But, if an artist such as Loso has a hiatus from releasing an LP, I believe Fab is capable of writing material that can be hot, classic, or just plain good. Whether it's an album or singles.
How does [Classic] disrespect artists who have classic material b/c YOU think it's classic? That's your opinion...
finally bro!! this is gonna be a good album!!!!
damn thats a crazy lineup of features...and u kno fab always drops hot shit
im expecting a good album as usual from loso
this looks very promising. finally!!!! more creativity (eventhough the idea is bitten) by mainstream hiphop artist. soound like a good line up. notice how Ransome aint on that list....
its interestng dat 50 would b on ther...
i hop jeezy makes n appearence 2.
To me, Fab's best stuff was always themeless, off the wall stuff. It'll be interesting to see the transition. I'll support it regardless.
ghetto fab, thats my nigga. he always spit fire. its gonna be hot.
Hmmm another album full of wack features except for like 3 ppl smh
N Fab ain't ever been nuthin special
Honestly i think homeboy can drop a hot album but that hardcore seeing that the guest features are mainstream pop artists.And if my predictions are accurate,this album aint gonna top the album chart or have any top 10 single.I mean people do you really think that an eastcoast mc doing a gangsta rap album,except jiga,in 08 would get anywhere commercialy,i dont think so,but i hope he drop a classic and does what t.i and wayne been doing on the charts now.
And homeboy can make a dope gangster track,if you don't know what im on about,check out "gangsta dont play" featuring junior reid,Nothing to something album...Sick beatz people,,,"Im from the era of the shootouts and drug spots/hapy to be here so i smile on my mugshots"...Sik lyn
RICH YUNG CLEVELAND BIG HOMIE GONE TO DO HIS THING
I Mean all this lets do what jay doin maybe i will sell shit is wack and fab is a good so i dont why he gotta do it i mean it might be a good c.d. cuz homie can spit but it wont be a classic cuz JAY-Z already did it
damn cant wait i think hes one of the under rated rappers out right now, but dude knows how to spit them punchlines
what you mean you cant wait??? it sound like you wanna suck his dick or something
He already did a double disc Losos Way rise to power mixtape and the shit was fire and it was only a MIXTAPE! which rappers only take about a month to do just to keep they fans entertained...Now imagine now that hes making an Album which actually got the best producers on it and hes gonna take time to perfect it...this shit is gonna be the album of the year hands down....
so since its gonna be the ablum of the year i guess you think he gonna sell more than wanye, t.i,jeezy, game, and hov if it dont get pushed back, unless he does better than all them it wont be ablum of the year and i doubt he can even sell more than game or have a better ablum
Fab is one of the most consistent punchline rappers out there. He is a beast, and I can't wait for his next album. He never seems to disappoint.
what you mean he a beast you mean he be fuckin you like a beast or something
he got some big names appearin on the album !!!
50 may ruin the whole thing real talk
That's exactly what I'm thinking!!!
i am tired of hearing classic u guys need to look it up in the dictionary there havent been a classic album since the 90s please stop saying that
UUUMMMMMM THE BLUEPRINT WAS A CLASSIC AND IT STILL GETS BUMPED UNTIL THIS DAY
Fab better add to the catalogue of clasics that brooklyn brought out,i mean bluprint,reasonable doubt,ready2 die,life after death, please mention real classics i forgot to type,please dont type a mixtape or an average album
imma cop dat
been waiting for this , he already droped 2 mixtapes called loso's way...
Tha real best rapper alive along side T.I.P!!!
Let's not get carried away here.
fab the best rapper alive??? or you deaf,dumb, or retarded smack yourself with a brick for saying that
just add fab to the long list of rappers who can rap but cant sell records he better put wanye on half the ablum if he wanna go at least gold LMAO
You are truly a homo if you knew anything about rap you would know lyrically fab is 10 levels ahead of wayne...and any real nigga will agree...
this is gonna be crazy, cant wait
It's gonna be fire, but i think he need's to stop dick riding
Hov and be his own rapper. Why would he do a album based on a
movie character. That shit is just dumb, Carlito wasn't real.
It better not be like his last album with songs just for bitches.
moemoe100
fucking idiot Febuary *2009* I belive all those albums came out in 08 dumbass...nd it probably wont sell more than wayne just cuhz of the fact he aint got dickriders like him but i guarenfuckingtee itll be better....learn how to read ignorant ass....
i'll learn how to read when you learn how to spell pussy i bet you cant spell g.e.d you stupid motherfucker why niggas on here always gotto get the last word like bitches pull your skirt down you emotional like carl thomas with a pink skirt on stop dissing wanye unless you put out better shit than him you fags kill me wanye so bad but you listen to everything he put out just to say he bad
uumm bkbullshyt shut the fuck up and tkizzle shut the fuck up ya'll dnt kno nuttin haha
fab an 50 on a track together man that gotta be hot shit 2 come...
didnt 50 and fab do breathe remix together?
yo fab is a classic ass legend, my favorite emcee and one of the top rappers out... god dayum u hears all his verses in his cameos??? thas dat shit! haha
what makes him a classic dickhead you making it sound like he can compare with nas hov somebody that actually made a classic ablum this funny face nigga aint even make a classic song yet
yea, good collabos, except 50, he can keep his niggas kiss and cass on there, they always kill together, those 3 are a trio that nobody could fuck wit.
Good on fab. All the best "LOSO".
Streets on Lock-"I might dig a model or even pipe a singer i'm old skool and smooth like a sniper finger"...lol!!!
mannnnnn i cant fuckin wait for loso shit to come out the last album was underated like i was just checkin his videos out yesterday on mtv .com and i was like how niggas sleep on this nigga but at least he eating good and got a large amount of niggas respect !as far as best album out this year i think its unfair til everyone comes out this year then u can make that desicion for your personal opinion but to me the top 3 has been papertrail ,the recession ,and nas album ,i respect game shit tho also but like i said u still got alot of heavyweights left thisyear
Finally!
some real shit.
peace!
MOEMOE100
im here to talk about music not to play this little back and forth game u tryna play look at you getting all offended cuz i said fabs better than wayne...and he aint make a classic song yet?? How about breathe...dont try to front cuz i know damn sure you was bumpin that shyt cuz everyone was that shit was tough...and i listen to what wayne comes out with because unlike you i dont talk about a person and say hes garbage without actually listening to the nigga i wanted to see what all the hype was about with this nigga and i see none at all...u cant compare him with budden,fab,banks,cassidy,nas,jay,kiss,styles p. and tell me im wrong.
i dont care what you wanna talk about pussy fab aint even know around the world what else is he know for besides breathe, i can go to any country in the world and say do you know lil wanye and somebody gonna know who im talkin about and then you name garbabge rappers that cant even go gold ex,cassidy LMAO,kiss LMAO, styles p LMAO, budden LMAO i think you get the point im not saying he bad but dont even put him in a sentence with lil wanye its like comparing micheal jackson to his brother tito
man, talk about dickrider huh??? Get off waynes dick... talkin bout everyone on fabs dick, who gives a fuck about another country and what they got to say...this shit bout fab, unlike hoMOE's like you, people are gonna come in and give fab his props... fab is the shit, i like wayne too... dont even read this shit if you dont like fab, people got thier own opinions, some seem a lil goofy, but ur shit makes you seem mad homo... so hop off waynes dick and try not to hurt urself
moemoe100 how u gon talk about Cassidy, Jadakiss, Styles P, Joe Budden, and Fabolous. they are ALL better than lil wayne, reason why their albums sales dont equal to wayne's is cuz not everybody wants to hear real shit, street shit no more, they wanna hear shit and say "yea i heard that" so people think they cool fo likin wayne. if u actually listen to these artists, u might have a different opinion. i'll tell u all the artist thats betta than Lil Wayne:
Cassidy
Fabolous
Jadakiss
Styles P
Lupe Fiasco
Krayzie Bone
Andre 3000
Eminem
Jay-Z
Nas
Juelz Santana
Ludacris
Busta Rhymes
Papoose
Talib Kwale
Joe Budden
Royce Da 5'9
Twista
Cory Gunz(maybe)
they all better, lyrically, but niggas wont buy most of their albums, cuz they're not the guys they like or wanna listen to cuz they dont rap to a crazy ass beat that makes them nod they head. if niggas still listen for lyrics, then they should agree.
niggas like fab are just good for mixtapes and features he will and has never put out a straight fire ablum then this new ablum damn "jockin jay z" "jockin jay z" seem like everybody wanna be like hov
somebody on here lie to me and tell me any single this cartoon lookin nigga put out is gonna make top 100 and niggas talkin about ablum of the year why everybody say his ablum gonna be classic and you didnt even hear the shit yet dumb ass niggas on here cassidy neyo and joe budden features he setting himself up for a flop already
my man you obviously know nothing about talent at all your just nameing album sales like that shit matters about a niggaz talent and skill in that case soulja boy better than everybody in the game if you talking bout album sales...why you think none of them niggaz sell?? not cuhz they suck its cuhz the music they put out isnt comercial niggaz aint like lil wayne selling they soul to turn into fuckin pop artists singing lolipop and shit its iight if u do it for 1 single but the nigga uses that vocoder on EVERY SINGLE SONG he on now tell me he aint a dickrider...niggaz like fab nd kiss rather keep it real and come out wit that str8 hard street shit then turn into a fagget ass rapper wit tounge and lip rings feel me....
dude u sick as hell, how u gon talk about fab setting himself up for a flop wit cass, neyo, and buddens, forget about neyo but cass and buddens been bringin food to the table lately. 2. u talkin bout wayne album was hard, anybody who like lil wayne would automatically say, C3 was the shit. 3. lil wayne known for more songs cuz people stay on his dick and dont listen to others, if u actually listen to fab u would know that he got songs like "i dont see nobody", "wet wipes", "da boss" then he went in on "a millie" and "let the beat build" he killed lil wayne's shit. FAB SHITS ON WAYNE.
its gonna be hott regardless...i just like hows hes doing the same concept for this album that he did for his mixtape of the same title "losos way" where he had audio clips from the carlitos way prequel that came out.....so its not really a fresh idea but go to datpiff.com and download that mixtape cuz it was fire....
"I heard La Reid wanna Def me, well tell him i need a mansion in bel-air with a jeffery" - Losos Way
"rap used to make you sell your soul, now it gotta come wit a dance"
-Joe Budden
"I'm so thankfull that,Come around thease parts we don't crank or snap we aim and clap,
Use to try to take the average rap fan show em shit,
But if they closed minded who am I to open it?
-JOe Budden
"Im so motherfucking high i can eat a star"
-Lil Wayne Probably the wackest line i heard ever....
So dont talk shit about a rapper you havent listened to it just adds to your ignorance...
why these groupie ass niggas always quoting rappers on here and then wanna say wanye line's is wack if he wack why you listen dumb fuck
No disrespect because i cut for Fab...But um didn't Reasonable Doubt already have the "Carlito's Way" concept?!
West Philly Freck a beast
Fuck Gillie and Cassidy ,Freck go hard and i'm saying this from tha South!!!!!
I like Loso alot but I have become a fan due to his mixtapes and remixs not really his albums and I am hoping he can change that feel with this album
you said you like him alot you sound like a highschool girl
fab is a koo rapper in all but his album titles are wack to me.. like generic.. lossos way sounds hella generic to me
what does his ablum titles have to do with the music man these comments on here are getting dumber and dumber
amen to that brotha anyway i like loso but what i dont like about him his voice stays the same u gotta change ya shit at least a lil bit
LOSO in case you ain't no so.................album is gonna be crazy
hey moemoe.. i guess u didnt see the part where i said hes a koo rapper..? an yea an album title is one of the MAIN things lol. i mean come on.. when u gettin outrageous amounts of money to talk some jibber jabber over a beat u can get a TINNYYY bit creative dont u think? maybe this is why hes never going to be that dude to just bust out an do major things.. cuz niggaz dont feel like bein creative... Carlitos way....LOSOS WAY... come on now...... thats just to damn generic .. i aint gotA problem wit dude ive bught his last couple albums but he need to think out the box a little bit more.
oh an this...
I think we had some similarities," Fab Tells SOHH. "Carlito was a street dude trying to make the transition from the streets to something better. That's where I felt like I was at in my point in my life of becoming a hip-hop artist and making that transition from the streets to a hip-hip artist
thats EVEN more generic.. i bet half the rappers out will say some shit like this.... GENERIC!!!!!!
Loso is so consistent with multis it's insane. Even when he switched up his style on his latest album, he's still consistent with them.
He's one of my all-time favorites for sure.
Yea album better be sick...the mixtape was....but from nothin to somethin was weak ass fuck.......pleaz deliver me sumthin good fab lol
ok this nigga got nice.... much props much love but whoooo... nigga I think we had some similarities," Fab Tells SOHH. "Carlito was a street dude trying to make the transition from the streets to something better. That's where I felt like I was at in my point in my life of becoming a hip-hop artist and making that transition from the streets to a hip-hip artist."
nigga please !!!!!!! this nigga got shot in his own hood... You rappers play too many games....lmao
