Smile was the only single by Scarface to actually go Gold (500,000 copies sold), and there's a good reason for that. You've got a funky beat produced by Face, Mike Dean and Tone Capone. You've got lyrics from Scarface, easily the most introspective rapper to come out of the South. Plus a deep guest appearance from Pac, recorded before he passed. R&B singer Johnny P delivers a great hook.
I bought this CD single in early 1997, it was the lead from Scarface's album "The Untouchable." There's no tracklisting on Amazon, so here's what you'll find on this single:
1. Smile (Album Version Clean) 5:02
2. Smile (Instrumental) 4:57
3. Smile (A capella) 5:01
4. Untouchable (Radio Edit) 3:38
5. Untouchable (Instrumental) 3:59
Untouchable, the second song on the CD single, is classic Houston gangsta music. It was produced by Scarface, N.O. Joe, Mike Dean and Tone Capone.
What makes this CD single a rare find is that it includes an a capella version of Smile, but the CD is worth owning for the instrumental alone. A great CD single to add to your collection if you're a fan of Scarface or 2pac (RIP).
Very happy with this CD Single. I had the same song in Cassette single, and played it so much it broke. I was glad to find it.
Scarface is One of My Favorite Rappers. Bro Man has deep word usage and he knows how to make you think and keep a flow going. he doesn't over do it either. this cut was a Jam back in the day and I just always dug his flow and overall presentation. His voice always makes you listen. if Face wasn't from the Dirty South then He would get more Juice. because He is One of the Most Underrated Talents to Ever Emerge in the game and He hardly ever gets his fair due. He is One the Best to Ever Roc a Mic."Smile" is another jam that cements his Legacy and depth as a Artist.
For the price that I had paid for this CD was a great deal. I would make the same choice again if I had to.
I give this SONG itself an A++++ This is one of the most powerful and beautiful 2Pac songs recorded. Unfortunately for the release one of 2Pac's verses was cut and replaced with Scarface but he has a nice delivery himself. The single is pretty solid, I just purchased it for my 2Pac collection. Great for any 2Pac or Scarface collector. Much cheaper here on amazon than it is on eBay too!
