"Ya'll are crazy FAB is all hip hop. Just because an artist goes mainstream on one album to get a fanbase dosen't mean they've gone soft. Street Dreams was a great album. It had something for everybody. In SD prt 2 he steps his lyrics up another notch. Every album gets better in some way whether lyrically or production wise. But lets face it, with Jay-z out the game we are gonna need some kids to step up and some new talent to bust through. Fabolous is a front runner for the future. This album explains that. Another 14 cuts that keep you waiting to see who's gonna steal hip hop's lime light 1

Dope, but "Street Dreams" is much better

"Another dope album by Fab, but it's not better than "Street Dreams".
Song Ratings (out of 5):
1. N***az - 3/5 - Not one of my favorite songs on the album. Don't like the instrumental too much.
2. Now What - 4.5/5 - Dope punchlines and the instrumental is good too.
3. Rims [Skit] - N/A
4. Now Ride - 2.5/5 - I don't like this song too much.
5. Think Y'All Know - 5/5 - This is one of my favs. on this album. I think this was also a single, or a split video, can't remember.
6. Chicks [Skit]- N/A
7. Make U Mine - 5/5 - Love this song, but not what it's about. Dope instrumental, Fab lays down some good lyrics and it also features Mike Shorey.
8. Faboloso - 3/5 - Sampled instrumental, the original is "Who's That" by R. Kelly. It's only about a minute long, that's why I gave it a 3.
9. Fire [Remix] - 4/5 - Dope song. Features Joe Budden and Paul Cain. It's a remix to the original "Fire" by Joe Budden. Love the chorus.
10. I Usually Don't - 3.5/5 - Another song I don't like too much.
11. Renegade - Another sampled instrumental, the original by Jay- Z (same exact song name) featuring Eminem. This song, I think it features Paul Cain and Joe Budden. Anyways, it's a dope song. If you like this one, check out the original version.
12. F You Too - 2/5 - Another song I don't like too much.
13. B.K. Style - 5/5 - Samples Lil' Kim's "This Is Who I Am", B.K. Style is one of the best songs on this album. Fabolous spits crazy punchlines like "The way I pass the rock can make Jason Kidd a fan of me".
14. Can't Let You Go [Remix] - 4/5 - Produced by Just Blaze, this song is supposed to be a club banger. First time I purchased this album, I thought that the remix of "Can't Let You Go" was going to be another love-like song about cheating. I don't like the idea that Just Blaze made this more of a club banger than it is a cheating song, but it's still a pretty ill song.
I really don't like "More Street Dreams, Pt. 2: The Mixtape". I think that "Street Dreams" is a way better album. Better songs, better lyrics, better collaborations and better instrumentals. Anyways, this is still a pretty good album, but I think that Fab could have done a better job.
Peace."

"Fabolous has a very nice flow and perfect rhymeschemes that led many including me to think he would be up there in ranking. But from his first album to this one...fabolous' subjects touch on nothing but his throwbacks, his money, his cars, and the girls that he gets with. I don't like classifying rappers into categories but this is a prime example of what somebody who is trying to sound like they've known hiphop forever would call "too commercial"
So-so production makes this one very less appealing as it could have been. THere is a beat on here that sounds like Kelis' milkshake song on crack.
At times fab shows flashes of brilliance and joe budden far outshines him on his own mixtape. Paul Cain has a fabolous type flow with more street influence which sometimes outshined fab also.
Fab needs to work on his subject matter and then all will be well..nuthin wrong wit a lil flossin but he somewhat overdoes it
MIKE SHOREY IS THE BRIGHT SPOT OF THIS ALBUM...his RAPPING FORM OF SINGING WILL MAKE HIM VERY SUCCESFUL
Favorite Tracks...
Make U Mine...Niggaz...and Fire remix (best song on CD)Peace Out EAST OAKLAND"

"Fabolous has a great album here. This has a special thing on it, that makes it enhanced is, you can make your own remix of one of the tracks. Fabolous will always have more, more, and more Street Dreams for everyone. This album features the Fire Remix, with Joe Budden. Fire was originally a Busta Rhymes track, then it was a Joe Budden track, now Joe Budden features Fabolous on the Fire Remix. Another track is Think Y'all Know, the track after; Make U Mine video. This, I believe is the best track on the album. Make U Mine, the latest collaboration with Mike Shorey, Make U Mine. Make U Mine is a great video and track. It is a great album. As I said earlier, Fabolous will keep coming out with more, more, more, and more Street Dreams."
