Everything you niggas want to get I done had that.
Know I'm sonning niggas so I started wearing dad hats.

Since the dawn of rap, no other rapper has been responsible for more students misspelling a word than Fabolous. (Yes Auto-correct ignore the squiggly red line.) But on the flip side not too many rappers have seen the longevity or have had the ability to last through the transition of physical media, to the current digital age that is upon us. One thing lays true is that the pen is definitely mightier than the sword in his case. With a slick word-play and bars that need an Autopsy to see the cause of death. Fabolous has made a name for himself by murdering some of the hottest tracks, with his uncanny SWAGGER, which has given him a new wave and classic mixtapes that literally crashes the servers. His style is showcased on his 'Wicked Freestyle' (See right quote), where he rides the beat in the only way he knows. The BROOKLYN WAY. ​

So you may be asking yourself what is better than arguing with your homie over what you think the artist is saying? The answer is when the artist actually breaks down his own lyrics. The insight into what a certain line means, or how they made two words rhyme together that you couldn't have fathomed is what brings the artist that much closer to the fans. Watch Fabolous break down his song 'For the Love' off his "The SoulTape 2" mixtape (See video Right).

Sidney Deane said it best, "Just because your listening to him, doesn't mean your hearing him."" Or how Fab put it "Y'all don't really hear me tho". So next time your looking for some bars that pass the test. Take a listen to him and know the pen is working.
