02/06/07 - Fabolous talks about shooting and new album

J-Banks · 02-06-2007, 11:11 AM

Rapper Fabolous was shot in the thigh outside of Justin's Restaurant in October and now the rapper is finally discussing the incident. He told MTV.com, "It was a life threatening experience, so I took it as that. Even when I got my truck back (after the shooting), I looked at (one of the shots) in the windshield -- it was high enough to be a head shot. I looked at that as being more dangerous than the leg thing. My leg was better in a week and a half. I was back regular, like it never even happened. Even the hole didn't look nothing much (more serious) than a cigarette burn. The bullet didn't hit no bone. I'm a skinny dude ... I don't have a bunch of meat for it to really run through and be a flesh wound. For it to be a flesh wound, I was like, 'Wow.'"

Fabolous added, "It was a good thing that it happened towards the end of the year. It happened in October, and I had two months to really think about what was going on. I didn't have my structure around me right. Once that thing happened, I had to get a structure within my life and make sure I get this s**t moving right. I had a lot of things that wasn't moving right. Everything was moving on spur of the moment. Anybody who's in a leadership position or a boss position, you need to have some structure. You need to have certain people who ... make the whole clock keep running smoothly. I look back at the shooting like if s**t would have been structured right, maybe none of it would have been happening."

Following the shooting, Def Jam Records decide to move the release of Fabolous'new album, From Nothing To Something, up but the album wasn't competed in time.

The set will now be released on March 27th. Fabolous has so far leaked two songs from the set, "Return of the Hustle" featuring Swizz Beatz and "Diamonds on My Damn Chain" featuring Lil Wayne.

The official lead single from the project is "Make Me Better" featuring Ne-Yo. Fabolous explained, "You want a girl that completes you and makes you better. You don't want a girl who brings more arguments and more bills. ... You want a girl who, when you're walking around with your tie crooked, she fixes your tie. .... That's the kind of (woman) I'm looking for. Whether she's a celebrity or non-celebrity don't really matter. You just need somebody you can connect with."

The song was produced by Timbaland but the two weren't in the studio at the same time. Fabolous explained, "I never got to actually hook up with Tim. But I was in Miami working for two and a half months. So I would see him out, see him around. I seen him in (Miami hot spot) the Forge a couple of times, and a couple of his records would come on and I'd be like, 'This is what I need.'He'd be laughing and say, 'All right.'He definitely knows I respect his work. (When I went to record 'Make Me Better') Ne-Yo came in and attacked them strings. He already had a vision. When I came in, all I had to do was put the spice on the s**t and it was ready. It was smash already to me."
