Review Score:

(4/10)
Faboulous made his debut with "Ghetto Faboulous". His boyish sound, leaves his audience unconvinced when he talks about hardcore issues, alot of the references he uses are old and weak
and many of his tracks are monotous, and some of his rhymes are straight wack, the fact that DJ Clue produces most of the album doesnt help much either, as Clue is known more for his quanity than his quality. Yeah I know thats a lot of negative things to say about an artist, but Fab has potential, he just needs direction. All the same the album does have some good beats and good collabrations make it an album worth checking out, "Trade it all" feat Jagged All is a classic club track and is just a nice cut to listen to when your cruising with your lady, "Take You Home" feat Lil Mo, "Cant Deny it" feat Nate Dogg
also add to the albums content. "Ride for this" Feat Ja Rule, is not really a track for Faboulous, as his style doesnt blend well with Ja's. The only tracks where Faboulous really comes out strong by himself are "Keepin it Gangsta" and "One Day" both tracks show that Faboulous can do more than R & B collabs.
Problem is a good artist needs to carry his own albums, and Faboulous isnt yet there, also his sound is either somewhat likeable, or distinctly annoying. Faboulous is a commerical artist, so his success will come through for the mainstream audience, for younger kids, teens, and women, it wont come through in street level success as he isnt convincing there. 2 1/2.
