Fabolous Amps Security To Avoid Leak Wants Fans To Hear The Shit As A Finished Product
Faboulous recently spoke on the recent emergence of music leaks and the new measures he has decided to take in order to avoid further leaks of his upcoming album Loso's Way.
Responding to initial rumors that Jermaine Dupri leaked his music, Fab described how pre-finalized tracks are landing online.
"I personally, myself, don't think JD, himself, leaked 'em," Fab said about his recently leaked songs. "I think maybe someone in the camp or somebody being irresponsible leaving it open to somebody else. We usually don't have a leak problem, the things where we had problems is giving music to people to do their mixes, that's where we had a problem. And now I've learned from that okay, we're not going to do that anymore. We're not gonna e-mail you stuff. You're gonna have to come in or we fly to you or wherever and get the sh*t done because the amount of hacking and piracy going on now, and you put all that time and effort into building something, then people are starting to get it here, here, here, piece by piece instead of getting it collectively. I want people to hear the sh*t as a finished product." (The Life Files)
Fab recently spoke with SOHH about his initial reaction to leaked Loso's Way songs.
"My leak situation was disappointing because it was three songs that I don't think represent the album as a whole," he explained. "They were all three produced by Jermaine Dupri and his camp. On my Twitter I went on a little rant. I just blamed JD's camp really. I don't think it's JD actually leaking records because why would he do that? I felt like [it was] somebody in the room." (SOHH)
Lupe Fiasco recently reacted to his song "Shining Down" leaking online.
"I DON'T LEAK MY OWN RECORD!!!!," he wrote in all caps. "I'M NOT A FAN OF LEAKING RECORDS OR OF DOWNLOADING!!!! My entire first album leaked and possibly cost me from going platinum my first time out as the final estimates of how many people actually downloaded that album illegally was well over half a million...Someone hacked my email. I was about to fire my entire staff and cut off relationships over shining down leaking last night. Bun B hit me and was like 'the records dope' and i was like 'what record?' nobody even has it. the only possible explanation is my email chain with the mix studio (which is air tight...the studio that is) was hacked and thats where the record came from. Lastly, the album is f*cking ridiculous. I dont like to brag or sh*t like that but the album is sooo f*cking crazy at this point 95% done." (Lupe Fiasco's Blog)
Kanye West has also been the victim of leaks, including his "Paranoid" music video.
"It hurts me to see the old and very wrong version of the paranoid video get leaked all over the net while I was on an 11-hour flight and couldn't do anything about it," Ye wrote unmodified. "It's just frustrating when this stuff happens because I really care about the product and since videos never get played any way you might as well tweak them and make them as special as possible. The version that got leaked from the camera phone last week is at least a little closer to the final product. Thank-you everybody for your support but that video was not up to my standards." (Kanye West's Blog)

"Comment by B. 21 hours ago nigga will go out and buy fake ass Jordan's but can't go to Best Buy and get they favorite artists album for $9.99......then have the nerve to say hip-hop is dead!!!...psshhhh MC's didn't kill hip-hop the fans did!! """""..............."""
thats the realest quote i ever read. we trip on whats on the radio but mainstream fans actually buy they songs individually on itunes or in stores. downloading is the new wave but you CAN purchase in that format F.A.B. dont frown on that but if we lyrical fans love da game so much support it so the labels will be confident in findin that type of talent. No disrespect to the non lyrical artist and they snap music but the fans are buyin dat shit so if you had a label what would you invest in honestly. Its business nothin persona, hip hop will never die but the skill will deteer more and more people at a time to the point it shrinks like WWF popularity did. then thats when it goes back underground focused and back to the lyrics, go get fab album for the lyrics let the beats be a compiment, dude nice and we all know this support the art fuck a hook or a beat let that be yo dessert. holla

Comment by Billy on June 21, 2009 at 3:55pm - Breathe is defenitely his best song by far, but throw it in the bag is awful, my time is ight, but Loso's Way isn't a classic. I like Fab, but he doesn't belong in the same conversation with Eminem, Jay Z, or even T.I for that matter
