Album Notes
Personnel: Fabolous; Lil' Mo, Mike Shorey, Nate Dogg, Paul Cain, Pharrell Williams, Sean Paul, Black Ice, Thara, Charlie Murphy, Young Jezzy.Producers: Trackmasters; The Neptunes; Just Blaze.On Fabolous's third studio record, REAL TALK, he claims that there is much more to him than his string of radio-friendly singles might indicate. That's not to say that the New York City rapper doesn't serve up simple, ready-for-radio moments in abundance, but even the first single, "Breathe," with its Supertramp sample and unusual path to a stunning hook, reveals an artist with much more depth."Don't Stop Won't Stop," which follows the striking intro, sports a sinister, Geto Boys-style backdrop and lyrics that embrace the familiar trappings of guns, cars, women, and pride, but with unexpected flashes of Zen beyond the usual laid-back bearing. Fabolous goes the more straightforward route on "Tit 4 Tat" and "Baby," both certainly capable of lighting up the radio. However, the highlight of REAL TALK may be on the mid-album track "Church," where, with the aid of the ever-entertaining Charlie Murphy, Fabolous envisions himself a preacher, a man who can convert people with the power of the words in his arsenal. Fabolous possesses a mind brimming with phraseology, and he brandishes his skills with power and ease, even as he continues to develop, making for an intriguing record rich with high hopes for the future.
Editorial Reviews
3 1/2 stars out of 5 - 'Breathe,' an epic Just Blaze production, is a small masterpiece of lyrical economy in the face of musical bombast.
