“It was a life-threatening experience, so I took it as that,” Fabolous told MTV News. “Even when I got my truck back [after the shooting], I looked at [one of the shots] in the windshield — it was high enough to be a head shot. I looked at that as being more dangerous than the leg thing. My leg was better in a week and a half. I was back regular, like it never even happened. Even the hole didn’t look nothing much [more serious] than a cigarette burn. The bullet didn’t hit no bone. I’m a skinny dude … I don’t have a bunch of meat for it to really run through and be a flesh wound. For it to be a flesh wound, I was like, ‘Wow.’ “
Though Fab was back on his feet a mere 2 weeks after the incident which caused him to reevaluate himself, the impact was much stronger.
“I just fell back, took it easy,” he said. “Maybe I was doing a little too much. Let some things take their course. I had never been shot before. I had to chill for a minute and got focused on the music and other things rather than being out and running around.”
Fab’s third LP, From Nothing To Something, will be dropping March 27th and features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Swizz Beats, and Just Blaze amongst many others. With two tracks already hitting the airwaves, the official first single will be “Make Me Better,” a ladies song produced by Timbaland and featuring Neyo.
“It touches so many places,” Fab told MTV news of the song. “It’s a sexy record, plus a swagger record, an anthem record all in one. ... I played it for a couple of dudes a week ago, and they was like, ‘I’mma tell my shorty that: “Yo, shorty, you make me better. I’m cool, I’m fly and shit, but us together, we make a great pair.” ’ Dudes can take it, it’s giving them some game. I felt it could work on all levels.”
