Fabolous "BREATHE"

[TheDarceKnight]

Yea welcome to nyc has no samples i dont believe him tho....but breath is from a sample. I heard a story that when fab first heard the track he thought the sample was saying breath but just said it wasn't but he can fix that

Yep on all counts. Breathe is Supertramp right? I don't know if I buy that Welcome isn't a sample somewhere in there. Yea Fab didn't know.

I'm bout to say something unpopular here. most heads in here think this is one of fab's best songs and one of just blaze's best tracks, but I'm in the minority. this song has always been to me.

Thank you...............

People constantly praised this song, but it marked the point where Fab officially fell off and past his prime IMO

When this dropped everybody thought Fab was bout to drop a classic album

I dont know where yall are from, when this came out around me nikkas in the hood had the face

had everyone taking notice. that was his first real lyrical transition to me.

i wonder ifi can still recite it word for word

Definitely a transition for the worse, people at that time wanted to hear the punch line king Fab

Song was so dope they gave up 100% of the publishing to clear the sample. One of the best hip hop workout tracks of all time.

The other thing about that is that I sampled Supertramp, which is classic ’70s Rock, and a lot of people in that era, they didn’t take to Hip Hop too well, so most of them didn’t clear the samples, and they definitely didn’t wanna clear “Breathe.” So when we submitted it, they came back and said, “We want 100 grand, and we want all the publishing,” so we came back like “Ok, fine.”

Wow thanks for posting this. I had no idea Just was saying "Breathe" on the record. The fact that he didn't make any money off this song aside from the initial purchase is crazy.
