 (67 Customer Reviews)
Fabolous scored rather sudden hip-hop celebrity with his catchy crossover hit "Can't Deny It" and the mega-successful album GHETTO FABOLOUS, with a style showcasing the perfect balance of the hardcore and the mainstream. However, while his rhymes were certainly palatable, his outer brash persona belied a subtle wit and unique way of looking at the world. His skills survive the sophomore jinx with the satisfying STREET DREAMS, a hypnotic tour through a familiar world, but with an appealingly organic tour guide.
Fabolous opens STREET DREAMS with an intro that closes with the declaration "I'm here to shake up the world." His twisted outlook (rhymes like "phenomenon" and "Ramadan") flavors a solid record refreshingly rife with self-reflective moments like "Call Me," one of the most conflicted takes on one-night-stands, where an admirer spouts "I like the video you played P-Diddy in" (his response "yeah, right"). Fabolous is an original rap artist reflecting a thug's poetic nature on STREET DREAMS.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  'Streat Dreams'...who you think you are...NAS!..
everything about Fabolous is un-original. The lyrics, the beats, the entire package is played out. There is NOT 1 song even worth 5 seconds of my time. Anyone that likes and/or listens to this clown should be taken outside and shot.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Hot: It doesnt matter if some songs are commercial
QUOTE: Fabolous is soft as gummie bears!! First album was decent, but this is st8 sewage. He's falling into that same pop-rap category with Ja Rule, Jay-Z, Nelly, Camron, etc.
lol that makes no sense. Cam'ron is one of the most gutter rappers out and Jay-Z is top 5 dead or alive. Everyone has to have some commercial songs fam. How else you gonna buy records?? You talkin' bout him making songs for the brothers in the hood?? Apparently u ain't from the hood cause we dont buy albums in the hood. He has to market to other places than the hood. It ain't all about you specifically liking his songs. It's about America and the World as a whole liking his songs so he can get that cake. Stop hating this album was hot.

The term "keepin' it real" gets tossed around a lot in the hip-hop world, but that concept is also alive and well in alternative rock -- from Creed to Green Day to Alanis Morissette, so many alterna-rock lyrics of the '90s and 2000s are reality-oriented rather than fantasy-oriented. And that is a big departure from the '70s and '80s, when countless rockers projected larger-than-life images and offered glamour, fantasy, and straight-up escapism. Nonetheless, there are certain alterna-rockers who bring the element of fantasy to the table; Marilyn Manson and Garbage's Shirley Manson certainly don't come across as the average, everyday kids down the block. Nor do the members of Powder, whose superb debut album, Sonic Machine, brings a healthy dose of outlandish fun to alternative pop/rock. This 2002 release is a welcome return to theatrical rock; those who long for the sort of theatricality that the Tubes, Alice Cooper, the Plasmatics, David Bowie, and Kiss offered back in the day will appreciate lead singer Ninette Terhart's colorful, over-the-top sex appeal. But Powder doesn't sound like a '70s or '80s band. Their hard and aggressive yet melodic and poppy sound -- arguably a combination of Garbage, Veruca Salt, and Republica -- is firmly planted in post-'80s alternative rock. Thankfully, this Los Angeles band has a lot more going for it than a cool image, and Terhart is smart enough to realize that sex appeal alone does not make for great rock; she's a playful yet convincing vocalist who has no problem bringing Powder's infectious, hook-filled songs to life. Nor is the musicianship of guitarist ...
