Scarface' solo debut is a great one

This is the album that helped him become the King of the South, a title the man still easily has. Short as with all his albums, 43 minutes and 12 songs: 1 is a classic, 1 I skip, and 1 is ok, the other 9 are good or great songs. Production is great for a 1991 release. Guests are on no songs so it's all Face! Lyrics are great as usual. He has some gangsta tales, some about the cocaine, and some of the deeper lyrics you'll hear from a rapper. A must have album.

#1 - 10 (upbeat CLASSIC)
#2 - 6 (dirty slower song)
#3 - 8.5
#4 - 8.5
#5 - 8.5
#6 - 9
#7 - 9 (good beat)
#8 - 7
#9 - 9
#10 - 9 (about gettin' taken off for some cocaine -- hence his name)
#11 - 9
#12 - 9 (very deep and good lyrics on this one)

Diary of a Madfan!!!

This is one of my favorite albums of all time!! Scarface first solo album with no guest appearances (how many mc's can say that??). If you think you know hardcore hip-hop and u don't own this album.....WHERE HAVE U BEEN!!!

The beats are so dark and hard that it would bury the average "gangsta rapper" trying to flow over them. But put that boy Brad (Scarface) up to the task and he tames them. Every song (yes i mean every) is a must listen. There are no interludes or shout out trks on here to be found. This is not just mindless "gangsta rap" this is Harcore Hip-hop at its finest..Hotep!!

from B.G. to O.G.

Scarface has done a lot for the southside just as much as 2Pac has done with the west coast and rap music itself. I have as much respect for Scarface as much as I have for 2Pac because he puts it down for the southside always and his rhymes are incredible. Its like he's killing us softly with his slow death process, his lyrics. He's a murderer in music but does it so quietly and calm. His journey, which started from the Geto Boys, has ended up to where he is at now, President of Def Jam South and still one of the ruthless rappers to ever come out. Check this album out, you'll see what I'm talking about. His incredible killer Born Killer was an instant classic. Who else do you know who can make dope rhymes like this- "See it ain't no sweat to me/Coz in the fore place you've f*cked up the minute that you STEP to me!". I fell in love with this classic as soon as I heard his killa rhymes. Another moment I enjoyed was A Minute to Pray and a Second to Die. A tale about the streets, it has an eerie production involving Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues, which is a brilliant track. Money and the Power and Mr. Scarface is Back are two other nice touches that should be looked at.

I don't know about the rest of the world but I love the production, I guess it's because I'm more into old school hip-hop rather than the crap put out today. It has a real southside feel to it, which is another thing I like. But you should really look out for the lyrics here, this album is very underrated and I don't understand why. He lived the tales he tells us to pass on to the next generation so he knows what he's talking about. And this isn't strictly for the southside, like Scarface said- "Even though I came from Houston, my music is for everyone from every side." 'Nuff sed. August 26, 2004
