Yellow Bus Radio was Career Suicide for Fab

[short]

mistah fab cd never gonna drop
atlantic prolly pays fool $50000 a year or some shit
salary status

^^Shit $50,000 a year, plus all the show money he's getting, plus all the features he's doing, adds up to more than your average Bay Area rapper. Fab is eating yall record sells ain't every thang.

Do record companies usually give artists salaries for no reason??? I know the Pussycat Dolls got a salary but c'mon.....

I don't even know bruh Philthy emailed me the song sayin he wanted me to post it on youtube, I ain't got around to really asking him about it.....Not really my business u feel me?

One of em' gets at AP9 as well.....But not my business either.....

 

[mrmanish707]

If he didnt do dat shit KMEL would still be playin his shit and he mighta got enuff buzz for Atlantic 2 put his album out.He shoulda been tryna get in good wit Von instead of doin diss tracks.

fab grindin hard he doing his thang....

 

[T-Rip]

I honestly cant stand Fab but thats irrelevant when i say hes not grinding hard and hes worse then Ya Boy hes not putting any new music out. Everyone complains about how Yuk and Ya Boy dont put enough actual albums out yet they seem to be the ones with the most projects coming out and when shit do come out yall complain about how its not mixed and mastered right or why the production is wack. Fab needs to stop being on Youtube and WorldStar hiphop and get some shit out for his fans before he loses whats left of his fanbase

Fab's career would've died if he stayed in the Bay just trying to push mixtapes. Can't really build hype here without the support of local radio. He was really smart in that he branched out. Every week you see him collaborating with other artists from different regions.

As far as the Big Von / KMEL thing is concerned, success is the best revenge. Fab just needs to keep what he's been doin, networking and expanding his fanbase.

 

[Golden Mean Frank]

Fab is connected, and has networked outside and been more revelant and known than any rapper in the bay hands down the last couple of years. I respect the way he puts himself out there like that on his own.

What does his career consist of now tho?Youtube vids fakin like he got his chain snatched and Smokefest vids? Son of a Pimp is still my fav bay album of the last 10 years but lately he aint been puttin anything worthy out.And i think a big reason for that is he has no buzz in the bay.When was the last time u heard a nigga bumpin his shit? I keep hearing yall talk about him networking but keep this in mind.JT the Bigga Figga is the most networking nigga in the bay besides 40 but that networking dont have niggas in line tryna buy his new music.Hits is what count in 09 not who u do songs with.And u cant have a hit if radio dont play it.The shows he doin now are mostly because of the songs KMEL played years ago.

from what i understand the album advance cheddar is like a loan....the amount given is based on projected record sales

bingo.

and if niggas got advance money if they turned in an album, they would be a lot of bums who know how to rap. lol

imo, i would like to see fab do more features on remixes and r&B shit to get his name really buzzing.

YALL SURE FAB ON ATLANTIC RECORDS?

i heard he aint talkin bout that ap

Maybe not but what other AP9 exists??? "A.P's and A.B's I still don't f--k with AP9".....But like I said, its none of my business......Carry-on.....

 

[daprescription]

LOL. You actually think KMEL will make a rappers career? Siccness always amazes me.

 

[707 loc]

Am I the only one who sees Fab on yahoo every day... pepsi pass the mic feat Mr. fab? thats pretty big... y'all don't think so? yahoo gets like a billion hits a day

 

[lsjmyane]

^yea i be seein that too

 

[Ghetto Graduate]

No but a Big Reason him and Clyde Carson got major deals was because they was gettin spins in a big market independently when labels was wit the hyphy shit.If it wasnt for KMEL clyde or Fab wouldnt have got they deals.It was the spins that got em.Labels pay attention 2 dat shit.U either better have a million youtube hits or u better be gettin spins 2 get a deal.

 

[Ghetto Graduate]

YALL SURE FAB ON ATLANTIC RECORDS?

http://www.atlanticrecords.com/artists

Im surprised niggas ignored this post.Why aint Clyde or Fab lettin ppl know they release dates and they label situations.Niggas just fell back for years.

 

[Townbizz23]

Ghetto Graduate are you even reading the responses to some of your comments? FAB GETS SPINS ON THE RADIO. Just not KMEL. Fab gets play in LA, he gets play in Denver, he gets play in Houston...."Umm Hmm" was getting spins in multiple cities down South. KMEL is not the be all and end all of a Bay rappers career.
