The Numbers Game: Fabolous Is #1
This week I’m rolling out my new nickname: “The Typo King”. Man I was reading some of my past articles and I feel like my staff let me go on TV with a booger hanging out my nose. Damn, I need to tighten up. But this isn’t about me, you gotta give props to the only notable release from last week. F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S. Loso’s Way did…okay. Hell, no matter how many stars we gave the album, at least it got the top spot on the charts. Personally I thought the album had it’s good points but I think a classic album from Fab is long overdue. We’ve been waiting for him to take his game to the next level for a minute now. But congrats are still in order. Fab’s moves around 99,000 units of his 5th album and Brooklyn celebrates. Peace.

hmm I was thinkin he’d sell a little over 100,000 (like all his previous albums), but at least he got his first number one album.
loso’s way was fire. wish that throw it in the bag remix was in there too
You know Losos’ girl fanbase has to be satisfied with his album. Fabolous did ok, nothing that I’ll be listening back to in a few months or so. (Not even Salute, I don’t even listen to that much anymore)
