Fabolous promised that his new The S.O.U.L. Tape, which he says is loosely inspired by Jay-Z’s classic Blueprint album, would feature more seriously minded material, and sure enough when the project was released today it contained less Lil Mo features and more Lil Wayne features. On standout cut That’s Not Love Loso and Weezy F. join forces to create a darkly cinematic record created to call out all the false lovers out there, from groupies to entourage members. On the beat the Streetrunner crafts some somber and pounding production interspersed with an unidentified soul vocal sample (anyone know where that’s from?). Vocally Fabolous keeps his trademark punchlines to a minimum, focusing instead on narrative, high caliber rhymes, a strategy Wayne also employs, unleashing a slow flow devoid of his more schizophrenic leanings (but full of spelling lessons). So how about it Booth? Is this superstar collab worthy of your love, or only a passing glance? Either way fans of Fab will want to check out The S.O.U.L. Tape, available across the internet right now (like, for example, here).

Fabolous pretty much killed the whole mixtape. So, this is just the tip of the iceberg if you want to listen to more.

If he was aiming to be seriously minded, he achieved that goal on this track. I was iffy about the mixtape, but I think im gonna go ahead and download it.

Prote-J's got something to say to you Lil Wayne- "Your words don't connect/Call em parallel lines"
Another note I think someone like Prote-J would've killed this song unlike what Fabolous just did |

Now, this reminds me of the old Fabolous, who was twice platinum. Great song.

Wayne verse is old. But, the mixtape was solid, Fabo needs to keep it real and The S.O.U.L. Mixtape was a good move.

It was just ok. The punchline Fab is better to listen to.

Solid track. Fabo does his thing, his lyrics are clever and Wayne is a nice addition. Awesome beat too, it really fits both of their styles.

The beat is better than the artists. Why is everyone regressing nowadays? It's like people are having a "how lame can I get?" contest...

Okay, this is different and not the best for me. I don't like the sample which sounds like alvin and the chipmunks.

Love me some Fab. Weezy works well with the slow flow, Loso always gives me the chills.
