Faaaaaaabulous!
Mistah FAB - Ghost Ride It! (Above)
Fabolous f. Swizz Beats - Return of the Hustle (produced by Just Blaze) (MP3)
A fabulous moment for hip-hop. GET IT? FABULOUS?!
Seriously though, Fabulous rips a spectacular Blaze beat, with Swizzy serving ably in his strange new role as New York rapper hypeman. Those swoopy strings are great.
And I can't get enough of that Mistah FAB song, which is allegedly the first single on his major label debut album, "The Yellow Bus Ridah." The song's been floating around for a while, though it sounds like the official version won't have a direct sample of Ghostbusters. One question though: why did this video premier on VH1.com? That's weird, right?
*EDIT* Eric suggests this great video from Denver native DO the Fabulous Drifter

While we're throwing out Fabulous hip-hop tracks, I've got to be a homer here and recommend D.O. the Fabulous Drifter, easily the best rapper to come from the Mile High City (I work for an online newspaper in Denver). He was a finalist in the Unsigned Hype contest at The Source and was beaten by some ballot-stuffer from Jersey. Anyway, here's his first video (including gratuitous shots establishing that yes, he's from Denver): "Wake Up".
Five Points Plan in the house!
