Make Me Better
Fabolous · feat. Ne-Yo
- pop-rap
- r&b crossover
On the charts
Peaked at #6 on the Hot 100; Fab and Ne-Yo's crossover smash.
Why it mattered
Timbaland's production plus Ne-Yo's hook gave Fabolous his biggest hit. This bridged the gap between hip-hop and R&B perfectly — it played at the function and on the slow jam hour.
