Day 365: Fabolous with the Soul Tape Mixtape 3 (Audio)

- diggin the Lonnie Liston-Smith sample on this track (**classic**)

Fabolous doesn't need to release any albums to make his name known in the rap world since he's been killing it with these Soul Tape mixtapes. He's very quietly staying relevant in the game and giving his fans what they want: quality hip-hop. New York stand up!

Stream and download The Soul Tape Mixtape 3 after the jump.

Day 319: Fabolous - "B.I.T.E." Music Video (from The Soul Tape 2 mixtape)

I'm screaming "bee, iee, tee, eee." (B.I.T.E)
- Fabolous

Can't get enough of this Loso track; still bumpin it all-day erry-day. Take note and recognize the Biggy sound bite in the beginning; may he RIP (5/21/72 - 3/9/97) #RIPBIG

You can check out that Soul Tape 2 mixtape right here.

Day 182: This is beat is a thumper! - Fabolous x Red Cafe (Vevo Music Video)

Fabolous - Y'all Don't Hear Me Tho ft. Red Cafe

- Alt Audio Link

"Sometimes I amaze, somtimes I dissapoint; sometimes I blow this paper like it's just a joint..." -Fabolous

I can't believe this song got past my radar for the few months that it's been out, so I just wanna say props to VEVO for setting up this music video and finding it's way to me =)

As soon as I heard the beginning of the beat, I knew this one was gonna be good. Fabolous has always held a good rep with me and is still coming out with those banger-type songs. He also has a slick rappin style and can get quite creative with his lyrics too. Keep em comin Fab.

Saw the music video here first: NahRight

Day 181: Rise above the Pain and you'll be ok - Fabolous's version of "Pain" (Music Video)

Fabolous - Pain

- Alt Audio Link

"After you wake up, everything is wonderful; and you can overcome anything you undergo..." -Fabolous

Everybody who's anybody has some sort of "pain" in their lives that they deal with whether it be legal issues, money problems, work stress, etc, but people gotta realize that it's not worth it to dwell on it otherwise the pain will just get deeper.

The way I cope with pain is to keep my mind focused, my head up, and my time busy. Easier said than done, I know, but if people can grasp what I just said and try to change their mindset then I truly believe it can be really helpful for a lot of people. Music also helps make the pain go away sometimes.. #realtalk

Some 411 for all you youngsters, this sik beat is actually from an old school 2Pac song (check it here), which Fabolous basically just ripped. This beat is so popular that even J. Cole made his own variation of it. Chekkit:

J. Cole - See World


"Six shots of Hennessy I'm still going strong; please numb me from the bullsh*t that's going on..." -J. Cole

Regardless, both rappers did a good job making a dope song with lyrics I can vibe with #staymotivated

Day 156: Listen to this Track! - Oh My ft. Fabolous x Wiz x Roscoe Dash (Music Video)

DJ Drama - Oh My ft. Fabolous, Wiz Khalifa, & Roscoe Dash

- Alt Audio Link

I posted this track before, but I just wanted to share this music video that just popped up last week. Funny seeing Kevin Hart make a cameo in there but he's always being a funny d00d wherever he is, haha!

FYI, they use a cool camera zoom trick, similar to the scenes in the movie Limitless when he blacks out (awesome movie btw!). Just thought I'd let y'all know.

Day 3.5: Fabolous Live snippet of "Holla Back"

This is also from the Heineken Inspire event that my homie video'ed. Just wanted to add this in here:


- Holla back youngin! Woooo Woooo!

Day 3: F-A.. B-O.. L-O.. U-S (Events)

8/28 (Culver City, CA): Yesterday, some friends and I attended the Heineken Inspire event in LA and maaan it was awesome. Tickets to get in were mad cheap ($1, $5, $10) because it was all for a donation to a good cause. The set up was real cool inside as they had lounge areas up where you can play video games, Foosball, or just hang out on the couches & kick it. They were giving our free Heineken all day since it was a Heineken sponsored event, and on top of that there was free food (hot dogs, tacos, mini burgers, veggie panninis), cool free t-shirts, and even booths to take fun pictures. The scene was super chill accompanied by a lot of beautiful young ladies which was definitely a plus (where did they all come from???!!!). I'm surprised and happy it wasn't that crowded because usually events like this, especially in LA, always get packed with people.


So, we went to the 3-7PM showing which featured performances by Ryan Leslie and FAAAAAAABOLOUS! In between performances, you had Skillz keeping the energy up alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff who was just rippin it up with cool beats on the turntables. If I ever have a baller bday party, I'm definitely gonna have him DJ at my party. We also saw QuestLove there, but I think he was just kickin it. Amber Rose made an appearance later on, and she was looking sooooo nice & seemed like a super chill person. I swear if you look into her eyes too long you will turn into stone.


Anyways, good music, live performances, free beer & food, cool scene, something to do, and it only costed a $1! Major props to Heineken, and I'll be looking forward to the next Inspire event. I'll donate more next time... =)


Here are some more pics:


- DJ Jazzy Jeff scratchin those turntables



- Skillz & DJ Jazzy Jeff keepin the music flowin



- Wdup Skillz!! He says he will be dropping an album sometime this October, so I'll be on the lookout for that



- Hey look it's QuestLove! My homie got a pic wit him; I'm so jealous because he wasn't letting too many people take pics with him



- Ryan Leslie performing.. did a lot of R&B songs. Time to get some more beer!



- No more man, we just want to see F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S



- Amber Rose... no comment



- We finally got her to notice us and she decided to do a pose for us, but right when we took the pic this goober got in the way. Way to ruin a picture d00d!



- Fabolous had a good set; a mixture of a lot of his good old songs along with some new ones. LIGHTS OUT!



- Thanks Heineken! I'll be back ;)



- I'll end it with this quote. Enjoy...
