Fabolous making his return has been a big deal in the hip-hop community. So now that his official first video has dropped, I decided it was a must review. Let's see if Fab should have stayed gone or is a part of what the game has been missing.
The concept for this video is one that is all too familiar. It basically has Fab and The Dream hanging out in lavish stores surrounded by pretty girls. Fab has his eye on one particular female of course. In a slight twist, it turns out that the FBI also has their eye on the same female. She is wanted for stealing major luxury items out of the lavish stores. Fab ends up talking to the girl but is cut short when the FBI come in and arrest her. She is taken to jail but later bailed out by Fab. The two reunite and then ride off into the night. And more or less, that is the video.
I don't hate this video but don't love it either. I feel like it is too common, the twist just is not enough for me. However, it does bring the song to life in a sense and is easy to follow and all that. So the purpose of a video is properly executed. I just wish Fab had been a little more creative. After all, this is his return to the game after a pretty long hiatus. You would think that he would come with a true all around banger. As I don't think much of the track either. Idk, maybe I just need to let the song and video grow on me. What do ya'll think? Is Fab back or is he done? Leave comments! -MinM
