Its just you.

Fab is known all over the United States. Which is more than I can say for 90 percent of other bay area artists.
but not in a positive way...he known as the nicca that got ripped by royce (even though i don't agree) and made that wack ass song ghost ride it (now this i do agree with)

I like that old fab when he first came out wit niglatin and had something to say. Now alot of his songs are pointless with no meaning.Dont get me wrong I like fab but after son of a pimp i found myself listening to less and less fab.Once he got on that hyphy tip I lost interest.

yet he's the only bay rapper besides 40 and short who appears on albums and mixtapes from artists from all over the country

dont forget that without radio play, FAB cant reach all of his audience. a big reason y people think he fell off is cuz they dont hear his music on the radio anymore. back when he was coo wit kmel u always heard this dude whether it b his own song or on a remix

The "thizz" thing got taken way outta context in my opinion people always have the misconception that bay area rap is all about poppin pills, i mean some of it is okay but all that loud clapping a bells just hurts my ears. I say after dre died everyone and anyone lead bay area rap in the wrong direction which is downhill.

so its not a factor to y FAB "fell off"?
fab has a solid fan base but his music is starting to lack the substance thats the factor to him "falling off".fab is most known as the "dummy retard and ride the yellow bus" guy.but hyphy didnt go as planned so now fab gotta find a new groove to fit into again cause all the dummy retarded stuff is just about dead already and people placed him right in the middle of that movement.i know he sayin "play time is over" but the thing is now he gotta rise above and outshine the artist thats "no playin" too.fuck blaming radio their top ten songs are songs like "paper planes" "swagger like us" "love lockdown".i dont wanna see fab go that route and make some bullshit just to try to get radio play cause these major companys are payin for spins anyway and thats them same corporate muthafuckas thats burning in our head that thats good hiphop music...fuck that! he can go that "swagga" route and sell a little bit more and fall off after the current radio trend is over then he will loose a lot his underground fan base that made him in the first place then its a wrap.

I know hyphy is what brought FAB into the limelight, but that part of his career is over. When is the last hyphy track he's made? FAB is done with that. IMO people judge a Mistah Fab song before they even hear it. They see his name, and write the song off as "hyphy trash," when he aint made a real hyphy song since "Ghost Ride It," and some tracks of "Da Baydestrian." That's almost two years ago. People need to listen before they judge and stop being so fucking biased.
