Yeah I don't really get this way of thinking either. Rank them from least favorite to favorite or whatever if you want but just going who could be erased from existence is weird. I mean there's arguably great artists who put out great music but if you deleted their music it wouldn't change anything. It kinda just seems glib.

The story of hip-hop will be told without any of the voices of the folks on this show.
I assume they want/need the extra clicks that comes from framing this discussion in a negative manner. Or they're drawing straws to go viral.

Based on the question the podcaster asked, he is correct with his answer.

And it’s not necessarily a dis to Fab imo because just like in the NBA, it’s only a handful of Superstars that impacted the game significantly :manny:

You can say this about damn near every rapper tho. It's only a handful of individuals that really shook shyt up by themselves.

I think people on here are conflating what they liked versus what the topic is…

Fab never separated himself enough from Mase stylistically

All of his hit songs could’ve been easily given to someone else since it was always someone else on the hook

He never set trends musically

He was never considered a top 5 rapper nationally at his peak

None of his albums has stood the test of time

Need more proof? Look at the majority of freestyles that are being posted in here… :wow:
