Scarface Album: “One Hunid (Explicit)”

One Hunnid is the creation of Scarface and The Product. They teamed up to produce a thirteen track donation to the art of Hip Hop. Dark rhymes are the meat that'll feed you if you've been starving for a true reality of the streets. And with Scarface, the King of the South, always expect fresh tight beats that'll keep you bobbin' as you savor the bitterness of the truth.

"Get Out" starts the CD with a hot beat from Tone Capone and lyrics that are just as nice. The second track, "2 Real", out does the first and truly sets the tone of the album. "In The Hood", serves as a reality check of any mainstream Hip Pop song, depicting the true essence of the street games. "Read" stayed on repeat; I don't think I need to elaborate. Willie Hen and Young Malice of The Product get props for holding down "Hustle", and providing a strong beat and sharp lyrics without Scarface. That's just the first 5 tracks, the entire CD is hot. Scarface closes out the CD magnificently, giving thanks on the soulful track "Life's Been Good".

Overall, all the 13 tracks are what can be called quality Hip Hop. It seems as if each track was selected as a probable single, and the entire album was organized with the intent of it being a collectable. The total album is a good investment for your music collection if you're a fan of Hip Hop and all its forms.

why cAN SCARFACE MAKE A COMP ALBUM WITH UNKNOWNS THATS BETTER THAN ALL THE PLATINUM ARTISTS WITH OTHER PLATINUM ARTISTS ON THEIR SOLO ALBUMS - CAUSE HES SCARFACE THATS WHY - ENOUGH SAID

Scarface has never made a bad hip hop, he has continue to make a good albums and this is his finest example of that, The Product is another great follow to his 2003 dark classic 8 Balls & My Word, this is a terriffic and challenging album with mostly great songs and scarface always delivers in his rapping skills, he has something that mostly 98% percent of the hip hop doesn't have and that's soul, skills and truth.

I Expect this to be in my CD's very soon, this is one of the year's best hip hop albums.

My collection spans the entire body of classic rock The Doors, Zeppelin,The Who,The Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac, etc. The entire body of jazz, Dizzy Gillespie, Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughn, the entire body of seventies soul, Stevie Wonder to Earth, Wind, and Fire. Classical from Monteverdi to Aaron Copland. This album is one of the greatest pieces of music produced by human culture, and like 90% of anything Scarface touches, its far, far, better than your run of the mill rap/hip hop. Its a work of pure underground transcendence.

I really don't have much to say because most of the other reviewers have already said it. If you are the smallest fan of Face go get this cd now, if you like "reality" rap or street music with a conscious go get this now. Most of the production is handled by the dope west coast producer Tone Capone and he gives it such a smooth but hard feel to this album.

Wil Hen from San Fran and Yong Malice from Louisana hold their own with the great Face. Face is on about 7-8 of the 12 trks and when he appears he appears big time. No matter what coast you prefer you will like or appreciate this cd. Hotep.
