Because it doesn't seem like it

I never see anyone bring him up and kids today don't know him. I wish he would get more love

Like a tier 3 or 4 legend

who else is in that tier

Kinda

He has songs / bars that are so f***in good that I’ll be like “damn Fab is top 5” but then he’ll have songs where I’m like “WTF is this dude thinking”

Currensy

Yeah, he deserves his roses fr

He’s definitely a NY legend

In the same tier as Jadakiss, Lloyd Banks, Wayne, Drake etc..

Yes. But not Hov, Kanye, Wayne level

Fabulous had a crazy run in the early-mid 2000s. Breath gotta be in my like top 50 songs OAT

mixtape era legend

Yes. He's one of the few early 2000s gen artists to survive all of hip-hop's polymorphs and not end up dusty or horrifically corny.

People don't really talk about Fab like that though cause he's just so lowkey it's easy to forget to bring him up when it's necessary.

Nah. Good peak, below average prime, subpar career.

This

23 years in the game. Of course he is.

one good album

a bunch of mixtapes that no one outside of NY knows

I guess

This is true lol

He’s like E40 tier legend

Just because you old don't mean you are a legend.

Not a legend. I always looked at Fab as a Mase clone. I do give him credit for remaining relevant for 20yrs with no classic albums, a few hit records, an no real influence/impact. That’s almost impossible to do in hip hop.
