Face mixed and mastered pristine detracts from the grittiness that made him great to begin with. Death Row made Rap A Lot go in a synthy, cleaner direction that isn't anywhere near as funky as the earlier stuff where they were rapping over breaks.
used to love the old rapalot production, gumbo funk, alot of live instruments, dudes dont get enuff props for that sound.
face's first two are my faves, TWIY getting no love here?
The Wall got face on that manic depressive homicidal shyt.....
shyt, damn I'm dead
I'm finally through with hearing these fukkin voices in my head
somebody finally got me
I'm looking at myself outside my fukking body
so now I'm standing face to face
Mr. Scarface, versus Mr. Scarface
we been two different people from the start
one nikka's too smart the other too fukking hard
and both refused to be outsmarted
dearly departed, the battle's already started
fukk it, its on, I swung, I duck, I weave, connect, I'm struck
caught me with the peircing lead
and realized to myself I shot my own fukking self
But Mr Scarface is Back, is the quintessential Face album, we was all supporting Face heavy outta the GB's so when he dropped a solo, 100% Face, shyt was heavy. Good girl gone bad with the gangsta ass ending...
His little boy was sleeping with him
I had to wake him up cause it was time to get him
But I ain't give a fukk what he done
I ain't gonna kill him in the presence of his fukking son
So I drug him outside
He started to beg "bytch be the fukkin' lying"
Took him to the bayou
Your ass has got to go for that bullshyt you tried bro
"But what about my son?" I got him
He's in real good hands, he'll close his eyes then I shot him
Now his son is calling me dad
I got something more valueable than money, from a good girl gone bad
was
to me when i heard it.
