Today AOL Music premiered the video from Fabolous, ‘Make Me Better’ featuring Ne-Yo. This is a definite summer banger, and if your radio station hasn’t been playing it out yet, it will.
The video has appearances by actress Roselyn Sanchez, Ray J, and DJ Clue. From Nothin’ To Somethin’ drops on June 12th.
I’ve always liked fabolous music, i even prefer him to 50 who with these his new videos and singles really seems to be dropping in quality music.
I definitely will be adding this album to my Fabolous collection.
Coll dude, I think.
and cool video and song.
This song is going to MURDER the summer!

THE MAIN REASON A LOT OF RAPPERS ARE GETTING AWAY WITH FEATURING AL THE NON-BLACK LOOKING WOMEN IN VIDEOS IS BECAUSE WE AS BLACK WOMEN AREN’T SPEAKING OUT AGAINST IT!!!NOW I’M THE TYPE OF BLACK WOMAN THAT IS GOING TO SPEAK UP IF GIVEN THE CHANCE.
>>>>>>>> We talk about it, yell about it, complain about it, cry about it, pray about it, everyday ALL DAY, ALL THE TIME AND EVERYWHERE. THATS WHY PEOPLE HERE SAY THIS IS REDUNDANT. These rappers KNOW DAMN WELL that they’re color stuck and perpetrating a problem. Kanye talked about the “MUTTS” phenomenon. Tyra had a black woman say on her show (when NeYo was invited) that darkskinned women are nowhere unless they’re used as tramps, and they mainly show their booty not their face (Tip Drill). Missy talked about it on BET several times and explained why she took pride in signing Tweet. Tweet herself said it was hard for darkskinned women in this indusrty. Fantasia talked about how nobody believed in her cause she was TOO BLACK. BLACK WOMEN BEEN VOCAL ABOUT IT SINCE FOREVER!!! It’s EVERYWHERE. If the world sees this bullsh*t you can’t tell me black people, black men, don’t see it. The “last night” video of Diddy, the woman is respectable, hispanic. The “Anonymous” video of Bobby V, the woman is respectable, hispanic. Fabolous “You make me better”, the love interest is respectable, hispanic. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing. These men are adults and businessmen, especially PUFFY, involved in everything he does. That man doesn’t promote Cherri Denis, a black woman, but is sweating and working hard trying to promote a TALENTLESS FRAUD NAMED CASSIE, all because this chick is filipino. They know what they’re doing!!!!!
*sigh* Why are you women sweating this man!If he don’t like whatever it so be it!You can’t do nothing about it.So what he chooses Latina’s to be in his video, have you thought once they going to get tired of it too?The reason why I say this is because theres toooo many people in this world to be sweating over some nigga because what he said was ignorant, but not all men going too follow him.Fab is part Dominican so maybe thats why he likes them kind of women.You like whoever you want to like.But if you watch “Diamonds” he had beautiful sisters in there, but some of you failed to look.
Roselyn Sanchez is a hell of an actress to even make it look like she’d be interested in Fabolous in real life! Please, she’d be like nah, papi, nah!!
She’s gorgeous though, but you know….so are black women and it really has gotten blatant in videos. Paper bag tests must be given at video auditions.
Or as Kanye or Jim Jones or any other dumb ignorant rappers think maybe rappers just prefer lightskinned mixed women. The thing is…are the views of rappers who aren’t really known for their good sense really symptomatic of what’s going on in our culture. Cause i see some brownskinned thick chicks with locks and all and they’re getting love in the real world.
I have nothing against the Latinas, but boy oh boy did Fabolous make it clear he has no love for the Blacks chicks.

THANK YOU! Nyland.
Diamonds had plenty of Black women.
Also: if I think someone is handsome. I’m going to state such. I don’t care if the dude likes men. That has NOTHING to do with the way I think he looks.
Also: Chantè. Cassie’s mother is African American, West Indian & Mexican. So the girl is black. Just the same way people rant that Halle is a black woman, though her mother is visible caucasian…Cassie is a black woman.
*visibly
Oh god with the “women of color in videos” discussion….DAMN! The song is tough, as well as the video…
Anyway…Beanie Sigel finally speaks up about the Jay-Z/Dipset beef…..and Joe Budden is looking for a new home….all this and more at http://WWW.YOUHEARDTHATNEW.COM!
Loved this video!! Roselyn Sanchez is gorgeous!!
As far a people saying LOSO doesnt show black girls love in videos..that is incorrect!
1.So into you had black girl (Kd)
2.BABY had a black girl in it..he dissed the big butt spanish chic for the brown skin love interest
3.Cant let you go..2 light skin black girls
those were 3 love songs..the rest of his videos had tons of black girl extras!! he shows all women love..he is also sitting next to a black girl (purple dress)in the club in this video
Anyway Fab is half hispanic so he can love the woman of his culture if he pleases
I think his main girlfriend(his live in) is Puerto rican so maybe thats why he has a spanish woman playing this role..
Fabs style is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of jean suit is he wearing!!!! He came back cleaner than ever!!! He has alway been such a trendsetter!! Way to go fabo..YOUR BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
To comment about his style.. I heard Fabolous’s girlfriend of 2 years is his stylist..
Her name is Emily B.. I guess she does make him better because with out those flashy clothes and jewelry..he is not too fabolous at all..lol.
I heard through the grapevine that they had broke up over his addiction to myspace!! but they recently got back together a few months ago.
Here is a link to her myspace..
http://www.myspace.com/embellished_image
By the way she’s not a black girl
..seems to be doing her thing though.
This video could have had more to do with the song but Its still ok.
Is that girl sitting next to him, the girl from the new Joe video??
Dang i luv this song. just heard it on the rsdio today. ne-yo is killing the hook.
He talking about he need a Coretta Scott King, then he puts Chiquita Banana in the video!!
I can’t wait to hear the song I’m at work!!!I see nothing but good reviews for the song but not the video.
the video is okay..not the best..but you dont’ really see nothing to exciting from fabolous..its still the same laid back fab since when he came out with “i can’t deny it”. the video is coo..and its different..the video has a plot. you won’t notice until you watch it the 2nd time..the video starts off at the end..and ends at the beginning..but i still love the song..fabolous has a great album..too me i never been disappointment by a fabolous album.
#7 please dont forget fabolous was shot a while back in his leg…….
Fab needs to fire his stylist ASAP!! who wears denim sets anymore? My dad! thats who!…..
THE JEAN SUIT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS VID,THAT SH*T IS FIYAH!!! LOSO GOT NOW I DONT CARE WHO GOT NEXT!!!
Straight from Fabolous mouth read article.

Love the song hate the video. Fab is lookin a mess to me. Ne-yo looks alright especially in comparison to fab. If ne-yo is looking good standing next to you thats a problem.

Cassie is not a black woman!
She is as black as I am white!
If her mother is African American, West Indian & Mexican and her dad is Pilipino…that would make her MAYBE 1/6 black.
RoseRoslyn Sanchez is beautiful, I don’t care if she is African American, Caucasian, Mexican, and Hasian. Asian or blue she is a gorgeous women.
If I were a dude I would want her in my video too! Don’t hate….. appreciate beauty when you see it.
As for black men not using black women in their videos….. Who cares?
If a black man doesn’t want me in their video because I have brown skin ( just like they do), then I wouldn’t even want to be in their video.
IT’S THEIR LOSS!
DID Y’ALL SEE THE WAY FAB KEPT SHOVING THE BLACK GIRL TO THE SIDE SO THAT HE COULD CONTINUE OGLING THE ALTERED NOSE LATINA????????? HE IS THE MOST PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A BLACK MAN I’VE EVER SEEN!!!!!
145, Fabolous is half hispanic…0…
