Fabolous Forgets Rhyme-Filled BlackBerry At NJ Restaurant
New York rapper Fabolous nearly found himself rhyme-less after leaving his BlackBerry filled with rap lyrics in a New Jersey restaurant.
According to reports, Fab was dining at Morton's Steakhouse when he reportedly had his memory lapse and left the restaurant phone-less.
Fabolous is still putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album, "There Is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music," but he almost lost some of his rhymes at Morton's Steakhouse in Hackensack, NJ, the other night. The rapper paid more attention to his BlackBerry than his meal, but forgot the phone when he left.
However, a restaurant employee noticed Fab's phone and returned it to him.
Fortunately, a sharp server noticed the phone on the table and caught Fab in the parking lot as he was about to pull out. The rapper was noticeably relieved, thanking the employee repeatedly.
G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks ran into a similar incident when he left behind music from his sophomore album, originally titled The Big Withdraw, with two women around 2006.
"It's truth to that rumor," Banks told SOHH. "That comes from me doing too much. I was just lost in my ways, f*cked two women at one time. It's the little things you don't pay attention to. I had the CD in an actual DJ Whoo Kid mixtape cover. It was just a blank CD with just tracks. I got over 70, 80 tracks, so you can't get them all on one CD. So I might have had 14 tracks of the last two weeks or something like that. Next thing I know, [I] can't find the CD. I'm assuming it had to be from one of those situations when you got too much going on around you. Maybe I'mma just stick to one girl from now on. That's the only explanation that makes sense. Sticky fingers."
West Coast rap veteran Xzibit previously cautioned emcees who use their BlackBerry's as lyric sheets.
"Nope when I approach music [it] is totally different then when I used to approach it on my other albums it's a whole new formula, a whole new format," X to the Z explained in an interview. "Musically the way I write is the same because sometimes I write with a beat without a beat but I always write it on paper. I'm not one of these new fangled rappers who don't have to write sh*t down or put it in their BlackBerry, I'm old school. What's gonna happen in the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame when rappers have to put their BlackBerry's in because they never wrote stuff down on paper? (laughs) I want lyric sheets."

Fabolous Brings His "Funeral Service" To Retailers, "It's A Hard Job Killing The Competition"
Grammy-nominated rapper Fabolous has announced plans to re-release his recent There Is No Competition 2: Funeral Service mixtape in retail stores this summer.
Breaking the news on his Twitter page, Fab said the retail release will feature new tracks.
"Def Jam decided to put out TiNc2 the Funeral Service mixtape as a EP in August... So im in the studio workin on a few new songs...," he revealed Thursday (July 1).
"Back in the studio workin on the TiNc2 Funeral Service EP.. Despite what u heard i wont be in Miami 2nite.. #NYC"
"Its a hard job killin the competition & keepin them dead.. But somebody gotta do it.. #FuneralFab"
Last March, Fab talked about the original mixtape's constant delays.
"Nah, timing was the hardest part," Fab explained about his delayed release. "You know I have a very crazy schedule, I have a lot of shows -- I wanted to take time out and make time to do this album, to do this mixtape, I keep referring to it as an album because that's what it felt like...I chose the opportunity to work with some of the people I didn't get to work with before like Nicki [Minaj] and Cam. They make good music, I make good music and you put good music and good music together and you make great music. I think they were helpful in making the mixtape as well, it's a great project...I put a lot of hard work into it."
The mixtape features 20 records with multiple guest features.
01. The Wake 02. I'm Raw 03. Body Ya 04. Hard Feat. Kobe, Paul Cain & LA The Darkman 05. Oh Let's Do It 06. Suicide 2 Feat. Paul Cain & Freck Billionaire 07. It's Goin' Down Feat. Freck Billionaire 08. Roger That Feat. Freck Billionaire 09. Love Come Down 10. Popular Demand Feat. Paul Cain 11. Mr. R.I.P 12. Body Bag Feat. Cam'ron & Vado 13. Beamer, Benz, or Bentley Feat. Lloyd Banks & Juelz Santana 14. For The Money Feat. Nicki Minaj 15. Tonight Feat. Red Cafe 16. All The Way Turnt Up Feat. Trey Songz 17. Say Somethin' N*gga 18. Funeral Service Music Feat. Kobe, Paul Cain, Red Cafe & Willie The Kid 19. Bring Death To Em' 20. Exhibit F
The rapper previously said his mixtape would have dropped in February.
"It was supposed to have came and I gave a date but people have been killing me but I really wanted to make sure I put good material on it and now people started coming. I just got a verse from Nicki Minaj, I got something from Trey Songz, Jadakiss, so I added a couple things and people should just [be patient.] This could possibly have been an album -- but it's over other people's beats, too. Some of it is original joints but some is over, I did 'Say Something,' I did 'All The Way Turnt Up,' I did the Waka Flocka beat, few joints and then a few originals, mixed it up."

Diddy & Fabolous On Chris Brown's BET Awards Meltdown, "He Just Single Handedly Bodied Every MJ Tribute" [Video]
Rappers Diddy and Fabolous have shared reaction to Chris Brown's emotional Michael Jackson tribute at last night's BET Awards.
Speaking from an afterparty, Diddy said the singer stole the show.
At the afterparty, hosted by the tag team of Diddy and "Hustle & Flow" actress Taraji P. Henson, everyone from a show producer to the cast of the soon-to-be-revived BET series "The Game," as well as some of the night's winners and presenters, had something to say about Brown's emotional performance of "Man in the Mirror," during which the singer fell to his knees crying, genuinely unable, it seemed, to sing the song. "You know who stole my heart tonight?" Henson asked. "Chris Brown!" answered Diddy, host Queen Latifah, BET personality Tigger and a group of others in near-unison.
Writing via Twitter, Fabolous said Brown gave a historic performance.
"Chris Brown jus single handledly bodied every MJ tribute to date. His dance swagger is almost exact to Michael's.. Almost..," he wrote late Sunday (June 27) night.
Brown's meltdown took place as "Man in the Mirror" began to play.
And while Todd Bridges showed up to give a shout-out to Gary Coleman ("I was even hearing [that phrase] in prison!") it was Brown who was tasked with the expected yet still-surprising Michael Jackson tribute marking the first anniversary of the King of Pop's death. Brown even started out in silhouette, making us squint at first to see who was donning the trademark fedora. Brown did justice to Jackson's dance moves (as much as anyone could, that is) and his sweet timbre, but whether it was out of feeling for Jackson or introspection directed at his own past foibles, the tarnished 21-year-old choked up and never recovered when "Man in the Mirror" got going.
Recently, BET Vice President of Music Programming Stephen Hill spoke with SOHH and denied rumors that Brown was banned from last year's show.
"The Chris Brown and Jay-Z rumors from last year's awards show were so inaccurate that sometimes you just don't respond to it because it's just ludicrous. I can tell you for a fact that Jay-Z had nothing to do with keeping Chris Brown from the show. Only thing that Jay-Z said about Chris Brown was when we joked about the rumor of him keeping Chris from the show."

Fabolous Sets The Record Straight On Kat Stacks, "Why Would I Send A Dude To Smack A Girl?"
New York rapper Fabolous has stepped forward to clear the air on his alleged recent involvement with groupie Kat Stacks being assaulted by his entourage.
Writing via Twitter, Fab played down the rumors and questioned Stacks' credibility.
"It's sad y'all believe anything y'all hear & see on the internet.. Especially from someone as credible as Kat Stacks *Smh*"
"Why would I SEND a DUDE to smack a GIRL?? But I know who sent someone to smack her... KARMA!! #RealSh*t."
On Friday (May 28), Stacks accused Fab of having his associates physically abuse her.
"yes its true @myfabolouslife sent people today to smack me up at the bar & they stole my phone & recorded it. i dare yall to blast it."
"got my a** wooped? it was 2 n*ggas yelling @myfabolouslife & @bowwow name ... im a female u got 2 n*ggas to hit me LOL lame."
Fab recently denied being romantically linked to Stacks.
"I've never met Kat Stacks," Fab promised in an interview with Tim Westwood. "I'm a hundred percent sure. [laughs] Let me tell you how I 'almost' met Kat Stacks. We were doing a video, 'Body Ya,' we were doing a video and we had girls from Twitterand the Internet or whatever, sending pictures to be a part of the video. And Kat Stacks was one of the girls who sent a picture in. Unfortunately, she didn't get chosen for the video. I think it was the bangs, the bangs weren't working, they were too low and we wouldn't have been able to see her -- this was before she was so key, because it was right before she went and did the Internet thing."
Stacks later responded and questioned Fab's own claims.
"I just watched this interview with Fabolous talking sh*t about me talking about I tried to audition for the 'Body Ya' video but I didn't get hired because my bangs were too long," Stacks said in a video. "First of all motherf*cker, he tried to pay me $200 to work overtime from Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For $200? I been a stripper since I was 15. The least strippers make is $800. We make over a [thousand] every night, you trying to pay me with $200? Ah h*ll nah motherf*cker...And then he want to claim he don't know me, like we didn't f*ck at Crown Plaza Hotel in Manhattan? Tell them how good my p*ssy was. Hit up Fabolous, his number is 917....."
Footage of Kat Stacks' alleged assault has been released online:

Drake, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Juelz Santana & More To Invade Hot 97's Summer Jam Concert
Drake, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Juelz Santana and more will perform at New York radio station Hot 97's annual Summer Jam concert next month.
The round-up of artists was revealed Monday (May 3) afternoon.
It's that time of the year again, folks. This afternoon, Hot 97 announced the line up for their annual Summer Jam concert. The event takes place June 6th at the newly built Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey. Not sure as to the headlining act is, but Gucci Mane will be in attendance. Artists include: Drake, Trey Songz, Ludacris, Juelz Santana, Nicki Minaj, Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek, DJ Khaled & Friends and Usher.
Last year's event also featured Drake and Southern artists like Young Jeezy and T-Pain.
"Young Jeezy...Jeezy brings out Drake. Crowd flips...'Best I Ever Had' Now 'Put On' Jay-Z on stage. Jigga. Hova. Crowd. Flipping. 'Death of Autotune' This is the death of autotune, moment of silence. T-Pain...Maino, 'All the Above.' Lil Kim."
Jay-Z also came out to surprise fans with his "Death of Auto-Tune" live debut.
"This is crazy, 'cause I didn't know where T-Pain came from," Jay revealed. "I look and I see somebody to my right and I swear I thought it was a fan and he was coming to hug me. I'm not even lying, not trying to be funny or take shots. I thought this person 'cause I didn't see who it was 'cause he was coming to hug me and I thought all right, that's some cool rock star stuff and then I seen people move again and I look back again and think 'Is that...' I guess he wanted to get close like 'Not me.' But it's really not him. It was a little awkward and it was cool. I don't mind sharing a little bit...He didn't mean any harm, he was just embracing the record...I'm not saying autotune is wack...I'm not saying that, I just put a soundtrack to it, I put a voice to it. If people wasn't feeling this way then the record wouldn't work the way it would...The culture is bigger than the politics."
His song caught the attention of performer Jim Jones who addressed Jay via Twitter following the event.
"Above all Summer Jam was dope," Jones wrote via Twitter. "And I got to see Jay-Z who refused to get out of his van when he saw my pretty face. We was mobbin', he's still a sucka...A old sucka. lol. We back and if he killed autotune then we must be Easter the resurrection. lol Shouts to Soulja Boy Tell Em, he ripped...I saw Jay-Z and Tata they didn't say nothin but sit they a** down when they saw the Spartan 300's lol...I'm glad to see I got everyone on Twitter's attention. I love Twitter, it's trouble maker, good morning everyone."

Fabolous On The Ins & Outs Of Twitter, "You Don't Want To Seem Phony"
New York rapper Fabolous recently talked about having a prominent presence on Twitter and how he aims to influence his followers.
Currently promoting a Being Seen Being Green tour focused on ozone awareness, Fab pointed out how networks like Twitter can be utilized.
"You don't want to seem phony," Fab said in an interview. "You don't want it to be seen as something you're just doing as a promo event. At the same time you gotta tease it in there and give it to people gradually so they can know the importance of it - not just because we got the show coming. I definitely want to use Twitter as an influence. It's a way to communicate with people without even touching them, without really directly touching anybody. To even go further than that they put out this thing called Retweet and they can retweet me to their timelines and people that may not even be following me can see the information we are giving about it."
Fab recently found himself defending his image after Jim Jones subliminally called him out on Twitter.
"I don't know where his comment came from," Fab said. "I joked around with it too. It was kinda subliminal. I think it's definitely competition. But you can say things -- it gets taken out of context whether you meant it as a joke or not. It could have been his opinion, but it still was thrown the way he threw it. It could have been taken in the context of you taking a shot at somebody. But I had fun with it, I made some jokes. That's it. I'm not looking at it as I got a really big problem or East Coast/West Coast beef. I cracked a couple of jokes about it. I'm not making a diss record about it. The point I'm in, I'm focusing on career. I'm branded as an artist. I'm almost 10 years in the game. Twitter dissing isn't important. My last mixtape states where I'm at -- there is no competition. That's on Twitter as well."
Jones later explained his own personal stance on Twitter.
"Twitter's a great platform for people to get things off they chest," Jones explained in an interview. "You know me, I'm a little bit of an instigator sometimes, I like to stir confusion sometimes. I hope I don't ruffle nobody's feathers or panties or anything, sh*t like that man. We just having fun out here man. You heard me? It's all love. It's like Kool Moe Dee and LL Cool J. I'm LL though. [laughs] Shout-outs to Red Cafe. Shout-outs to Red Cafe, shout-outs to Bad Boy. Shout-outs to Diddy. I didn't even know he jumped into [my situation with Fabolous]....I don't spar, it ain't no scrimmage. It's a line of scrimmage. Anybody passes it, that's your a**."
Initially, Fab used his Twitter to mock Jones' past hits, "We Fly High" and "Pop Champagne."
"Oh so it's time 4 subliminal tweets huh?? Ok cool..#TellMeWhyUMad I'm mad cuz it's over for that ballin.... Brooklynnnnnnnnnnnnnnn," Fab wrote. "#TwitterRules If u wanna get at me, @ me... Anyway, Gettin a new blackberry... #TT coming soon!!! #iJustWannaKnoWhy if they know the order, they didn't bring you NO ROSEI's jus a few cold waters?? Whoa Oh! I thought u#PopChampagne #iJustWannaKnoWhy the Competition won't stay #Dead. Maybe I should a new mixtape call #TiNc3 - Ghost of the Competition #iJustWannaKnoWhy n*ggas think they invented Louis Vuitton?? #nowplaying - Youre Only A Customer by Jay Z."

Kat NoStacks Decides To Give Fabolous A Pass, "I'm Not Airing Him Out"
Self-proclaimed former Young Money groupie Kat Stacks has opened up about her issues with Lil Wayne's camp but promised not to add Fabolous to her list of exposed rappers.
Speaking in a phone interview Wednesday (April 7), Stacks said Young Money's Jae Millz was responsible for calling child services on her recently.
"Yeah, I'm not airing him out though," Kat told radio personality Angela Yee. "Nah, he's a nice guy, he's cool, so he's good in my book. He just tries to be funny on Twitter talking about 'Thank God I did not put Kat Stacks in my 'Body Ya' video.' Well that last video, I was pissed off because Jae Millz had called child services on me because he's the only one who knows my real address so I knew it was him. So I got pissed off and I started writing it on Twitter and then my account got suspended so I just called World Star Hip Hop and said I want to make another video and give this motherf*cker's address out since they was trying to take my child away...I've heard they got a price out for my head, I've already moved so if anything happens to me they'll know who to go to first."
Last week, Fabolous confessed to nearly casting Stacks in his "Body Ya" music video.
"Before the internet sh*t, #MyDumbA** almost put Kat Stacks in the "Body Ya" video..," he wrote last Friday (April 2). "Whewwwwwww!! *wipes forehead* LOL"
Slaughterhouse's Joe Budden has also discussed the alleged groupie via Twitter.
"i think if Katstacks REALLY wanted the net 2 go crazy, she'd let her manager do a few blogs.. i'd love 2 hear his "master plan" 4 her.. lol," he wrote Tuesday (March 30). " Never, momma raised me better RT @GodSon83 I heard she got some dirt on u too..."
Last month, Stacks called out Young Money, Nelly, Bow Wow and more rappers through multiple self-recorded videos.
Young Money's favorite love toy (shivers), Kat Stacks, has gone digital! Basically repeating the same "revelations"that she has already through her award-winning blog and already Verified Twitter account, Ms. (or Mr. - - something about her facial structure and chest ain't right) Kat wanted to make sure we understood that she wasn't messing around with a minor, that Young Money is still broke, and Nelly was acting like a shady queen in Miami. And people thought the year 2009 was the end of the groupie.
