I’m the Man features up-and-comer Red Café, sorta (dude is only on the hook). The beat is quality, but Fab’s flow is genius. Like, listen close and you still need to rewind it genius: “You know how the man do, the coupe is on Manu/ Ginobli’s but the trunk is on Kobe’s/ Do the bullet-proof when your in the spur man/ slugs come through your window like Bruh-man”

Jokes on You is not special, with Fab doing a not-so-flattering B.I.G. imitation (“Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha” from What’s Beef). Pusha T is pretty average, with lots of talk comparing himself to comedians. What Should I Do has three great real-life verses from Fab; each interrupted by some really sad (and I mean sad) whining from Lil’ Mo.

At the end of the day I think that Fab’s fourth album is tight enough; but it is not the signature album that we were waiting for. Mr. Olous does himself a favor by not switching up; on the other hand I was almost hoping to see him try something new seeing as this has never lead to great albums in the past. Why would it now? Some will knock him for all the guest appearances, and at times this could pass for a Def Jam all-star compilation. But then again, there are at least 5 hits on the album easy: Make Me Better, Baby Don’t Go, First Time, Diamonds, & I’m The Man.

Sounds like somethin’ to me.
