Dope album so far. Im 12 songs in

I don't mind the singing on the hooks, but some of these dudes sound like bootleg akon and alsina

Not crazy about all the singing. I think he could have eliminated a couple of the singing hooks and improved the overall CD. But pretty good CD.

That is the thing with face. Dudes like him are competing with their greatness which is incredibly hard.

So did La Bella Mafia by Lil Kim. The Fix was a good album but not 5 mics. I remember the backlash on other sites back in the day because it go that coveted rating.

La Bella Mafia was a nice come back album from Lil Kim, but that shyt was most definitely not 5 mic worthy.


Pretty good album from face. I actually think this is his weakest album. Beats are nice but I am not crazy about most of the hooks on the songs.

I was expecting more after the dopeman music CD (which I feel was much better than this CD). Wish Brandon James and Monk Kaza could have been on this CD. Dudes have hella lyrics.

All in all I can't complain at this time when legends are dropping like flies and we stuck with clowns like Asap Rocky and Young Thug. Just glad face is around to be still making CDs (puts shyt in perspective after the passing of Sean Price).

Anyway here's to face, Willie D and Bushwick making a new geto boys CD.

Also lets not forget Mr. Scarface is back is up there with the fix and Diary.

Yeah flow wise, Mr. Scarface is back is right up there with the Diary. Scarface's flow was at it's absolute prime on those albums. Scarface knew how to ride the shyt out of that beat back in the early 90s.

Not only that you could hear in his voice how hungry he was. That early Scarface and geto boys them boys didn't give a fukk. I still say those two CDs by Scarface and geto boys they really really just said whatever came to their mind and put it on wax. No fukks were given.

I still say the only CDs that is even in that group of verbal not giving a fukk is death certificate (for sure) and maybe predator (just off the strength of when will they shoot and tear this mothafukka up).

I mean they had to censor mind of a lunitic at a time when non radio play rap music didn't even get censored.

Amazing how that old school rap couldn't even by made today.

Not really related, but did anyone see that interview where Face said he was suppose to be on Kanye's Jesus Walks?

Nope didn't even know that.

There are some tripped out rumors about Scarface and the other geto boys that I heard over the years.

^^^ five of the hardest songs in 2015

I found myself liking "You", but I see a lot of people don't. I like how Cee Lo flipped Goodie Mob's "Guess Who" for that chorus. I like the beat and of course Scarface did what he does. "No Problem" and the bonus songs are dope too (particularly "I Don't Know").

"God" is cool, but the John Legend chorus is too much. It also reminds me too much of "Glory". I don't really mess with "All Bad" and "Voices" like that either.

Still, this is possibly better than his last two albums (and I think highly of Made).

A typical, really solid project from Face. Few meh songs, but a lot of really good to great songs throughout the album.
