Best Fab Album to Date! Submitted on: 2009-10-17 |
|
| I'm gonna be honest, I didn't expect much from Fabolous on this album when i first borrowed it from my local library, but now unfortunately its all I play on my ipod. I call it the Fab take over...No pun intended but its honestly a really great album. I cant find one song that I wasn't feeling. And fabolous definitely stepped his lyrical game up. It was funny, deep and just down right entertaining throughout each song. I have so many lines I could quote, but most aren't PG so I'll spear you guys, and give you the opportunity to buy such an amazing album. Somebody please email Nas and let him know that Hip Hop is so not dead. |

Same Old Thang, Got The Name On The Chain just To Let Em know Who's Who Submitted on: 2009-09-10 |

It's Loso...case you didn't know so. Quite possibly the coolest rapper in the game right now with his laid back demeanor and quiet confidence, Fabolous definitely delivers on his 5th studio album and his best lp to date. Fabolous has managed to channel his talents to create a well put together cohesive body of work that has enough standouts and reality tracks to warrant repeated listens.
While Loso's Way is deemed as a "concept" album it's really not. It does keep a similar sound throughout the album though but it doesn't really recreate Carlito's Way or even follow a storyline as it's trying suggest. Fabolous has grown as a rapper though. We always knew he could keep the punchlines coming but he always had trouble storytelling and rapping about life in general. That's certainly not the case here. With tracks like I Miss My Love and When The Money Goes perfectly offsetting the other bragadocio and fun records, this album develops the balance that his previous albums lacked.
There's one song that's so good it deserves it's own paragraph. Everything Everywhere Everyday ft. Keri Hilson is the definition of an event. Over a perfect (and I do mean perfect) beat from the future legend Ryan Leslie, Fabolous glides through this record with such a cool and confident ease that you barely realize that he's really spitting on this track. The flow is perfect. Keri Hilson is the icing on the cake as she is the perfect songstress for this song with her confidence and attitude. I used the word perfect 4 times in this paragraph(actually 5 now)....but make no mistake about it...this song is one of the Top 5 songs of the year in my opinion.
Once you come down off that ridiculous high from that song other songs are hot too. The Intro has Fab in top braggadocio form, the other Ryan Leslie production The Fabolous Life jams as well (but not like track 5!!) and the last 6 songs end it off with a bang; Makin Love ft. Neyo, Last Time ft. Trey Songs, Pachanga, Lullaby, Stay, I Miss My Love.
Lucky people get bonus songs for downloading (I bought my copy) but I downloaded the bonus tracks (for free of course...I just spent 13 on the album!) and I'm wondering why they didn't make the album. Welcome To My Workplace is classic Fabolous. Over a sinister beat...Fabolous takes us through his workplace. This would have been perfect as track 2 right after the intro. A Toast To The Good Life follows in that same vein and would have been a perfect outro. Bang Bang and Never Let It Go(Japan Bonus tracks) are also very worthy to be included on the album. The Throw It In The Bag Remix ft. Drake is far superior to the album version as well (which happens to be the worst track on the album). I think after this review I will go ahead and make another cd with these tracks on the cd.
The bonus DVD that came with the album is underwhelming at best. It was advertised as a being a movie but in reality it's more like a bad 30 minute sitcom. The acting is pretty bad and the story is extremely bare and lacking. My advice...stick to rapping. Trust me you aren't missing anything by getting the regular version of the cd.
Overall, Loso's Way is one of the best cd's of the year so do yourself a favor and pick this album ASAP if you haven't already done so. |

Oh no Loso Submitted on: 2009-08-24 |

| Coming out with a so called "concept album" and basically giving us the same old r&b is so disappointing. Fabolous had two halfway decent CDs, which would be his first "Ghetto Fabolous (2001)" and third "Real Talk (2004)". On most of the songs found on "Loso's Way" his rhyming kinda reminds me of Chingy's bubble gum rap, which sounds soooo cheap and not worth listening. With the exception of "Pachanga" (hard to admit he kinda sounds like Lupe on this track) the whole cd is a big let down. 1 star for "Pachanga" and another one for Jay Z's chorus an "When The Money Goes Remix". |

| Fab used to be pretty hard. I don't know where the hell this soft album came from. Fab is forgetting where his base came from. it wasn't the T-Pain crowd... Def his worst album... |
