Lets Talk About How "Ghetto Fabolous" Stood Toe-To-Toe With The Blueprint

I was part of the demo that was expecting it so badly we made ourselves bump it but it was actually the definition of lackluster.

I liked this album, its fun but also a time capsule. Fab is decent but not impressive - basically a Ma$e/LOX clone.

I never understood why he had so many big fans of his later albums though.

It never stood toe to toe with the Blueprint. It dropped on the same day. Thats about it. Didn't sell as much that day, that week, or overall. Didn't get the great reviews The Blueprint did. Literally the only thing that makes it stand beside Blueprint is it was released the same day. And I'm one of the people who actually liked this album and think it gets unfair hate. nikkas hated how he didn't go as hard on the album as he did on mixtapes.

Normally I shyt on Wacky D threads and rightfully so, but on 9/11, A LOT of people around my way were buying both of those albums. Obviously the Blueprint was better and Ghetto Fabolous over time really didn't age well, but back in 2001 a lot of NY heads wanted to hear a Fab album. Everyone loved him lyrically and on top of that he was getting beats from top notch producers, so the anticipation for Ghetto Fab was pretty high.

Once everyone bought em and heard both, it was no contest though. Fab had some bangers but all anyone could talk about was Takeover. Fab just had those party records you'd find on those Hot 97 mixtapes all the time

Alotta nikkas already heard Blueprint before it dropped and had the bootleg such as myself and STILL went and copped the actual joint.
