"Real Talk" is the third album by East Coast hip hop artist Fabolous. It was received lukewarm from a critical standpoint, but was a minor commercial success. It peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 with 179,000 copies sold in one week and had just two charting singles; both statistics are the worst in his three album career. The two charting singles are "Breathe" which is produced by Just Blaze and "Baby" which is produced by Flame Throwers and contains guest vocals from Mike Shorey. Videos were created for the singles "Do the Damn Thing" featuring Young Jeezy, which received minor airplay on BET, and "Tit 4 Tat" featuring Pharrell, which includes a portion of the album track "Round and Round."

It was certified gold by RIAA on December 13, 2004. [http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/search_results.asp]
