I've never been much of a Fabolous fan, but he still had some good songs from time to time, like "Young'n (Holla Back)" and "Breathe". Now that he's on Def Jam, that probably accounts for why his latest album is titled From Nothin' to Somethin' because he's now part of one of the most (if not THE most) successful labels in urban music. Sadly, he still doesn't have a whole lot to offer. You can especially tell that this is a Def Jam album because it's littered with guest stars; aside from the intro, Fab is only alone on one song, "Yep, I'm Back". But that song is really the only song on here completely worth listening to. "Change Up" and "Make Me Better" (featuring Akon and Ne-Yo, respectively) are okay, but there are just too many shortcomings. Several of the songs have wack choruses, like "Diamonds", the hidden track "I Shine, You Shine", and especially "Joke's on You". Swizz Beatz also fails to impress with his usage of Wu-Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M." on an already questionable "Return of the Hustle". Fab also has a habit of using bad metaphors, especially when he's talkin' to the ladies, like "there's options in breakup/Don't you ever play pool?" ("Baby Don't Go") or "you need to leave them burgers alone and make a steak upgrade" ("Real Playa Like"). And the obligatory dancehall crossover, the Junior Reid-assisted "Gangsta Don't Play", really isn't about anything. There's also another Lil' Mo collaboration on here, "What Should I Do", which has teenagers writing to Fab about their problems. Who told him he was Dear Abby? For some reason, Fab and company also keep mentioning something about "coming through the window like Brotha Man" (makes me think about that Martin marathon on TV One a few weeks ago). Fabolous may be on the Def Jam roster now, but it doesn't do anything for his album because it's more nothin' than somethin'. Anthony Rupert
