DJ CLUE/FABOLOUS - LOSO'S WAY

I'm not from BK, but I feel those dudes. FAB is like 50 to me. I love dudes swagger before he got that paper. When he was broke and spitting at HOT 97 on Monday nights for CLUE, I was impressed. I didn't catch his first appearance, but damn near everyone after that. When his album dropped, SWAZO (my brother) was all over that shit. He didn't hit the streets without it. For me, it wasn't the same shit that he dropped on mixtapes. It wasn't wack, but it definitely wasn't what I expected. That's when I realized that cats make mixtapes to get on or to keep the streets thirsty like a curb general straight off that KUSH. Singles are for "Susie break my back". Hence FAB always hitting us in the head with that nonsense. When the kid got with JUST BLAZE and dropped "BREATHE", I thought it was the best record he ever made. I know it probably wouldn't have worked well as far as sales go, but I'd love to hear him drop an album strictly for the freestyle heads. It'll never happen, so fans of the spit will have to be satisfied with "LOSO'S WAY".

We all know CLUE isn't the most creative dude, but it was surprising to hear him include movie clips instead of his trademark shout, space and the following track. Starting the CD with the mariachi playing was an improvement. Can I tell you what that had to do with the release? HEEEEEELLLL NO! But it was fly none the less. FAB easily makes us forget about the freestyle MASON spit about him on "LOSO'S WAY FREESTYLE". The official "get in the muthafuckin car track" is "CAN I LIVE" featuring RANSOM, PAUL CAIN, STACK BUNDLES and JAZ. I wouldn't be DIMEZ if I didn't tell you about the bullshit. "BABY (rmx)" made me want to run up on FAB and kick him in the nutz for putting this bullshit on "LOSO'S WAY". Bless the "yookers" with that shit when the album comes out. FAB even took it to the SOUTH when he rode "SMOKIN & SIPPIN" alongside PAUL CAIN and MAGNIFICENT. Damn, I forgot to say that is a CHOPS production. If you want more info, cop this muthafucka. Who said NY Hip Hop was dead?
