It is much more versatile than my first two albums," says Fabolous of REAL TALK. "I'm out for my respect. I want to try to wake the people up this time. My last two records shaped the mode of me as a rapper for the ladies. I don't want to be looked at for just that. I want to be respected lyrically... I'm relating to the listeners by sharing experiences with people who come from the same places where I'm from. I'm talking about things in my personal life, from my own perspective. I want to bring you in, and let you see my world looking through my eyes."
