In a recent interview, comedian Aries Spears made a definitive call in the ongoing debate between rappers Fabolous and Lloyd Banks, choosing Fabolous as the superior lyricist—a sentiment Vlad also agreed with. Spears praised Fabolous for his underrated skill and ability to craft unique lyrics, calling him “one of the greatest lyricists” who consistently delivers thoughtful bars. Vlad highlighted how Fabolous’s style aligns with the traditional view of a rapper as a storyteller and wordsmith, referencing KRS-One’s belief that lyricists should express ideas others wouldn’t think to say. The conversation also touched on hip-hop legends like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane, with Spears noting the intellectual depth that KRS-One brings to the genre, even if it’s not his personal favorite. The exchange underscored the subjective nature of music appreciation but reinforced Fabolous’s respected status among peers for lyrical craftsmanship.
