Video: Fabolous Interview w/ the.LIFE Files
LIVE from the Def Jam Records offices in NYC JD Anderson talks to Brooklyn’s own Fabolous as he gears up to release his new album “Loso’s Way”. Fab tells us about the interesting relationship between him and DJ Clue, how it was to see Damon Dash screaming heads off when Roc-a-fella Records was at its peak, his feelings on the Joe Buddens/Method Man “beef” and of course flosses some of his trinkets including a watch with loose falling diamonds.
Yo Sav, when are you rescheduling the listening session? Been waiting to hear this..

I always had a feeling [ll] that he couldn’t really battle. You can’t claim to be the best alive while I could name a plethora of MC’s that would make quick work of you and you have never proven yourself in that respect.

Wayne’s “Greatest Rapper Alive” gimmick > Cam’s pink marketing campaign
If Wayne could stay away from jolly ranchers and cough syrup this would be an open debate. I cant sand either rapper but Fab’s been more consistent.
June 18th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
If styles is better than beans it’s not by much, both at there prime, IDK, but overall careers, albums only, beans got him, but styles put out too much heat on the underground circut for beans to match.
Now if styles/beans/scarface & freeway was a group in say, 2001/2002 that would be the super gangster/emo version of slaughterhouse

Well, when I was growing up battles mattered. You couldn’t tell people that what KRS was doing at the time didn’t matter or that you didn’t have to “Show & Prove” eventually to be able to call yourself “Best Rapper Alive”.
You couldn’t tell me that Hov VS Nas didn’t matter [Along with the other little battles going on at the time]. But maybe that was just me and my area growing up.
I think they don’t matter as much anymore because these days you don’t even need refined skills to get famous. Many children these days don’t care about talent. . . just bubble gum music.
And yes, these days who would you really care to see in a battle. The days of the Hip-Hop Titans are gone.
Jay and Nas was the final epic battle.
June 18th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Nick Cannon’s like Nickelodeon’s version of Carson Daily.

Please,
You hate me but do you know that I’m a killer?
