^----LOL @ the Culture Kings consisting of two really bad trolls.

Yoyoma (the rhyme king) and Wacky D are like the JJ Fad of trolling.

For the first month after it dropped I couldn't walk anywhere in Brooklyn or Queens w/o hearing the Blueprint being blasted.

Can't say the same for Fab's album. nikkas was feelin that Keepin It Gangsta/Can't Deny It though

If we're talking about actual quality........

Ghetto Fabolous wasn't in Blueprint league in terms of impact, popularity or any any aspect for that matter.

The album did well though thanks to the safe readio-friendly formula: Nate dogg (with 2pac lyrics), and (hottest group at the time) Jagged edge hooks, and Neptunes beat for the 3 singles. The clue connection didn't hurt either.

I think Cormega's "the realness" was more talked about than "ghetto fabolous" in 2001.

Like I said in the other thread. I remember a few days after 9/11, I copped the Blueprint from Target and copped Ghetto Fabolous from Brother Akbar on Broad and Market downtown Newark for $3. All on the same day lol

Where's the potential Wacky D thread titles thread for this forum?

"Real nikkas know Micro Machines stood toe to toe with Transformers."

outside the singles, i liked 'one day' and 'ride for this.' we all know he can rhyme but his albums just aren't good.

Thread title made my head hurt a little bit...

 

[feelosofer]

there are 6 albums i've purchased that were so bad and or embarrassing to have in my collection i gave them away.

1. Westside Connection - Bow Down
2. Ahmad - Ahmad
3. Coolio - It Takes a Thief
4. Ja Rule - Venni, Vetti, Vecci
5. Fabolous - Ghetto Faboulous
6. Bubba Sparxx first album

Really?

But yea, that Fab album was the definition of average. Not so bad that I would chuck it out a window, but not something I'd go out of my way to listen to either.

Now if your talking freestyles and radio appearances, I can't argue that plus, I liked all his songs with Lil Mo

Now Real Talk>>>>>>>>>>>>

lets talk about how this one star, stood toe-to-toe with this neg rep..

That's a damn good quote...Fab's first album was amazingly underwhelming
