Congrads To Tha G!! Well Deserved!! I feel in upcoming countdowns Fabs ranking will elevate to it’s destined spot, but just to see this dude finally on the list is even a honor for me!! It’s about time they recognize the real. I think twitter and songs like “My Time” had much to do with this countdown recognition too because in a sense he demanded that they gotta feel his music!! Also i hope this recognition influences others to check out his past work!! Dude got 5 Albums!! Man!!! This is a real delight to see! I know some people gonna be callin me when they see this shit. Jus cause they know I been rockin with tha homie music and style all together!!

It’s Bout Time!!

@nystand up
that might be the most delusional comment of the day, when it comes to rap 50 name doesnt belong on the same page as fab.
fab dropped the hottest album of his career, his lyrical game is better than 95% of todays hiphop, and hes not an actor fraud ass nigga, and i know mtv dont care about the hoods opinion in their debate but fab had the hood on smash now the rest of the country is finally seeing it too. and his team gets it poppin in bk, street fam is not no rapper crew they some real niggas. congrats fab hope this means more money, more media, more airplay and for us more hot music, long overdue

@ NY STAND UP
Besides Records Sales, How Is 50 Even Close Too Fab As An MC??
Lyrically Fab Would Shit On 50_His Flow is Waay Better Then 50’s
He Waay More Versatile Then 50 and In A Battle Fab Would Roast That nigga Like Jada Did!!
U Can’t B Serious My G..I Mean I Kno U Prolly A Fan Of 50 But Better Then Loso?? Nah Bruh U Whylen..
Congrats 2 Fab Tho_Eventhough I Still Think He Atleast Top 5 in The Game

why do so many people sleep on 50 being lyrical…..the dude has multiple quotes…

WHY IS IT….everytime BUTTABALL (or whatever his name is) speaks I just get very upset……he is a true cornball with butta on top

I agree with #10-Rea / 9 – 50 / 8 – fab so far. When they say hottestest mc’s I look at it as who is making THE BIGGEST IMPACT AT THE MONENT. With that said wayne should be #1 (and I dont even like him) and this is gonna sound crazy but t pain should be #2. Love him or hate him when he brought auto tune back it single handedly changed the sound of rap today (unfortunatley) #3 should go to Kanye (not a fan) , #4 – Jay Z (not a fan) , #5 – Guccie man (gucci!!) , #6 – Eminem (meh) , #7 – Soulja Boy (and the end of the day he has remained relavant despite the hate , even invited on the highest selling tour this year) If T.I had not got knocked then he should have been #1 , lyrical as phuck and continues to crank out hit wether it be by himself or with feat. or with PSC (at the time). DAMN!

————————————————
Again, you are the definition of hater. If you read through you see I said that “it’s crazy” but the bottom line is he made a bigger impact on rap THIS YEAR! than jay or em. If this list was about lyrics than none of these kats would be on here it would be all underground n*ggas.

How in the hell do u put Fab @ #8,u can’t be 4real.He continues to bring it it every album.Every album gets better,can’t say that about alot of Rappers.Homie in Philly is buggin if u think Drake is hotter than Fab,Y cuz he got a little buzz,if u wanna get technical Drake aint better than Freck the Billionaire.Kanye is alright but he aint no way better than Fab lyrically he can’t Fuck with him period. Now for can it how the hell can u put T-pain in the top 20 let alone #2,u must of just started listening to rap,no way in HELL T-pain makes the list.Then u have the nerve to have soulja boy#7,and Gucci Mane # 5. U must be from the south cuz only a idiot would say some Bullsh*t like that.So u sayin Gucci is better than Eminem.Eminem will eat Gucci food all day and he sells more records.Where the Hell is Ross,Jeezey,or T.I Soulja Boy,Gucci,T-pain are not better than any of them period

i dont think eminem should be on the list. hes not hot right now. he was maybe like 2 months ago

nor should 50

or rick ross
or young jeezy
Jordan Says:
September 30th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
@Guest We not talkin bout Right now as at this period of time but consistently through out the year.

Fabolous shd be higher on the list. The mans been killin the game. Features n lyricism. Plus his last album dropped 2 years ago. That shows u how hot he is as a rapper. Any way I’m happy he made the list Regardless its LOSO INCASE U DIDNT KNOW SO
NY STAND UP! Says:
September 30th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
na man ya niggaz aint getting it. its not about who’s the best if that’s was the case fab makes the top 5 easy. its not tho. its bout who’s the hottest. fab hardly makes headlines. 50 has a post here at least once everyday! plus its basically bout who also sells more. That’s wat I was tryna say. Def not hatin on fab cuz I fucks wit him HEAVY.
JR Says:
September 30th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
the list is kinda predictable now mtv is ranking him high now since he made a radio song the list seems 2 b based on buzz not skills

the mtv top 5 might look lik this

1) drake or wayne
2) drake or wayne
3) jayz
4)Ye depending how mtv feels about him
5)eminem or some jerk bs

September 30th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
fabolous is in the right spot..Most of his hits have a hot r&b singer on them. If he could release a hot track by himself like “breath”, “holla back”, “this is my party” etc than i would put him in the top 5. Throw it in the bag was garbage and i did buy loso’s way from bestbuy without bootlegging it, and i give it a 3/5 because it was an average album

Fabo deserved it. He easily had the best hip hop album of the year.
Lil Kenny Says:
October 1st, 2009 at 11:47 am
Fab should definitely be in the top 3. It should be Fab, Wayne, and Jay in no particular order. He has the best album of the year by far. Loso’s Way is classic. And he’s consistent. But most importantly, he makes the best songs in hip hop period!!!!! Get em LOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 1st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
