Ignorant Shit pt 2 -israel unreal rnb singer
January 7, 2008

Isreal, (pronounced Is Real, no, seriously) is back with a leaked track featuring FABO. Isreal makes up exactly half of Australia’s male RnB Artists, and both of them have singles with Fab.
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Close sources tell me the FAB verse’s cost $30, 000 EACH. You’re not gonna sell enough extra copies of the albums with a Fab single.. because guess what, Fab doesn’t sell in Australia. Well, not hugely, and his singles in the last few years are mildly popular at best. But hey, what do i know.. if Fab can’t sell himself here, maybe the uber-popularity obscurity of Cristian Alexanda and IsREAL can.
Fab contributes a hot opening verse to Isreal (‘She flip out on you, call her Ms. Sidekick’) that sits quite nicely on Isreal best interpretation of a ne-yo sounding beat. Isreal himself finds himself struggling vocally, and I think the hook lacks any memorability. I actually had to replay this track a few times to figure out what part was the hook.
The real ignorant shit here folks, isn’t that he copped a fab verse. Nor is it that he photo shopped himself in front of FAB’s Bentley. It’s not even that the flyer says Album Release September 07, which before the track was actually ‘leaked’.
It’s not even that the tour flyer on his myspace is offering his German tour to the promoter with the biggest offer. (more on that below)
It’s that he didn’t stop at a Fab track, he also got a Freeway track, a Rich Boy track, and a Lil Jon track. whilst Lil Jon has some popularity here, Freeway and Rich Boy are about as big here as Swaztikas in Israel (No pun intended).
To put it in perspective: Isreal does his best ne-yo redention, grabs Fab and aims for crossover success.. Then grabs not one, but two c-class rappers, that only appeal to hardcore hip hop heads. This shit is going straight to the bargain bin.
No one gives a shit about who you get. Unless it was ur childhood dream to make songs with rappers that don’t sell, there’s no point to this. And besides, Australian and New Zealand have an excess supply of Major Label rappers that don’t sell. Shit man, finish up the leftovers before you go out for dinner.
FUCK IT – these dudes just don’t get it. Isreal and Cristian think that they are competing with only each other. No. They’re competing with Chris Brown, Usher and that dude that fucked Kim Kardashian. Why? Because at the record store, on tv, and on itunes.. in the ‘urban’ section these artists are all together. So when i go pick up a record, I’ve got Isreal in one hand, Chris Brown in the other.
And none of the abovementioned US dudes have bucket loads of guest appearances. No. Instead they have some quality songwriting and production.. substance. You see where this is going? It’s sorta like having huge tits on a fat chick – yeah, theyre big, but the bitch is still a whale.
Maybe isreal’s tryna convince us that he’s a REAL rnb star, because he got real American rappers, instead of New Zealand rappers (sidebar – Scribe has sold more albums in Australia than Fab, Freeway and Rich Boy combined.). Or maybe he’s trying to convince himself.
Perhaps I’m being a little Harsh, after all, Isreal is a big star. He doesn’t get booked for shows in Germany, he announces his tour and lets promoters outbid each other for the prize. And he DID record his album in Atlanta, where he had ‘a no 1 strip club joint (who tracks that??), so I spose that does make him a bondife rnb superstar. Like Cristian Alexanda.
