5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Album From Scarface, April 12, 2003

By

This review is from: Balls & My Word (Audio CD)

from the west was 2pac. from the east was biggie. and from the south was scarface. he is one of the greatest rappers to ever bless the game. He never makes bad albums and this is no exception. face has gone back to rapalot records and for face fans that should be enough for you to know this album will be good. It ain't as good as the fix but its still a great album.

4.0 out of 5 stars What you gon' do Face? What you gon' do?, April 20, 2003

After 7 solo CDs, including the double disc, "My Homies", Scarface is back with another one after dropping "The Fix" in August of 2002. "The Fix" displayed a more mature sounding Scarface as his gangsta fairytales were exchanged with collaborations with Kelly Price, Faith Evans, and Tanya Herron. "The Fix" was very well rounded and with tracks like "In Cold Blood", "What Can I Do", "On My Block", "Heaven", "Guess Who's Back" w/Jay Z & Beanie Sigel and "I Ain't The One" with WC is was hard to argue that this offering was one of Scarface's best. However, J Prince who is the head of Rap-A-Lot records, was not happy with the way Def Jam handled "The Fix". So 8 months later, in what I see as an attempt to try to resurrect the struggling label, Scarface is back once again. The CD starts off with an interlude from the movie, "Scarface", and from there Face is back in gangsta mode on this CD. "Recognize" gets things off to an impressive start as he pulls out some of the old Scarface that most of his core fans are used to. This is definitely my favorite song on this CD. "On My Grind" follows the same format and fans of Face's earlier CDs will enjoy this song as well. Scarface collaborates with Z-Ro, Dirt Bomb and Bun B of UGK on the 50 Cent diss track "[***-***]". Following a concert in Washington DC, it didn't seem as if Scarface and the infamous Backyard Band were too impressed with some of 50's antics. "Stuck At A Standstill", "Make Your Peace", and "Dirty Money" with Tanya Herron are vintage Scarface songs as well. Devin The Dude and Tela join Face on the hilarious but true "Only Your Mother" as the three collaborate together about a woman who thought she was too high post for everyone, but in the end once they got famous wanted to try to get with them. If you haven't picked up Devin The Dude's "Just Trying To Live", then believe me you need to do so. "Mary 2" is a midtempo sequel to the Scarface classic "Mary Jane", that Irv Gotti & Ashanti decided that she had to use on her debut CD. "Mary 2" is a nice song but it could never compare to the original track. This latest Scarface CD will definitely satisfy the core Scarface fan of his earlier music. "The Fix" is a better all around CD in my opinion. However, any Scarface CD is worth having in your collection.
