Fabolous stealin' The Chef's recipes

I was in the club last night, doin' the fly man routine that I've perfected so well, then a particular song came on and threw my whole shit off. Fabolous has got a new song out right now with Ne-Yo produced by Timbaland called "Make Me Better" (listen here), and I realized that Timbaland took the same exact string section from Raekwon's "Rainy Dayz" (listen here) off the Cuban Linx album w/ Ghostface back in '95, and allowed Fabolous 2 make the mushiest song possible out of an originally gutter RZA beat (BLASPHEMY!!). Now I think Fabolous has a lot of lyrical talent (which he doesn't use, but that's another story), but anybody who doesn't even come close to makin' classic material should not be allowed 2 rap over any beat that resembles anythin' from that Raekwon album. Raekwon made arguably (actually, there's no argument bitches) the most unfuckwittable Wu-Tang solo album, or Wu-Tang album for that matter. Granted, Timbaland is one of the greatest producers ever (stop stealin' beats from Finnish producers negro), but next time before he even thinks of givin' a beat out like this, make sure the rapper gets respect in the hood (the 1% that's out there), and make sure that shit is ok wit RZA too (btw, where the fuck is RZA???)...

Hilarious. It's definitely sad that Tim is running this short on ideas. I mean he jacked those strings to make one of the worst beats I've heard from him in a while. And I think we all know Fab is never gonna make a classic, 'cause he loves doing these loverman records so damn much.
