Fab kinda carried the NY pretty-boy swag energy after Mase retired and before Asap Rocky blew. I guess you can say Cam was there and doing it better, but Fab was a bit more mainstream with it

I think his music has zero impact, but he was definitely involved in fashion trends, and the branding of the rapper "lifestyle" from an East coast perspective. He's an influencer basically

I'm really trying to be charitable here cause he doesn't have much artistic merit lol
Fab's roadmap imo is prolly top 10-20. Cuz i 1000% agree with everything you said. The question is why is fab even remotely relevant 20 years later. That to me is his greatness, mans figured a way to stay relevant without the talent of being a star.

Fab basically wrote the pages for currensy today. Fab and joe budden are two dudes outside of mainstream success where 99% cant recite anything they ever rapped

i mean, does it not exist, or does it go to someone else? :dead:

maybe the alternative is that the beat goes to Jay Z or something. Fab didn't do that beat justice
Fab did better than Jay Z would have at the time.
Maybe ever.

Fab is one of my faves proudly. Every rapper isn’t iconic to everyone. I’ve never listened to a KRS-One. :yeshrug:

I wouldn’t crap on his contribution. Literally, there are 1000s of artists who’s discography we can lose and not bat an eye like Young Dro as an example.

You have listed to KRS, you just didn’t know it

Edit: I mean to say, so many rappers have bit his lines, it’s not funny.
