Scarface Album: “Untouchable [Circuit City Exclusive]”

I HAVE SERIOUSLY COMTEMPLATED HOW GOOD THIS ALBUM IS, BASED ON THE FACT, THAT I CAN'T, AFTER ALMOST 10 YEARS, THINK OF WHAT COMES CLOSE TO THE CALIBER OF THIS GETO BOY DYNAMIC C.D. "UNTOUCHABLE"! I HAVE HEARD ALBUM AFTER ALBUM, AND THERE ARE SOME AMAZING ALBUMS FROM THAT YEAR, BUT NONE ARE AS HARD, THOUGHT OUT, OR MORE PAINFULLY DEVIOUS, AS THIS ALBUM.

GRANTED THIS ALBUM HAS 12 TRACKS, AND IS RELATIVELY SHORT IN COMPARISON TO OTHERS THAT YEAR(ANYTHING MASTER P, LASTS 3 DAYS AN ALBUM, YET SUCK.)! UNTOUCHABLE DOESN'T LACK IN INTENSITY, HUMOR, HUMILITY, AND HONOR, AS SCARFACE (BRADLEY JORDAN b.1970), SHOWS WHAT THE STREETS HAVE NOT ONLY BROUGHT HIMSELF, BUT MANY OF HIS FELLOW TEXANS IN THEIR CITY'S DIRTY STREETS.

HIS HARD EDGED, DEEP, AND RASPY VOICE, PENETRATES THE BRAIN INTO THINKING ABOUT WHAT HE IS TRULY SAYING, AND MAKING SURE YOU REMEMBER.

HIS SIDE VOCALISTS MAKE THIS AN EASY CANDIDATE OF THE BEST ALBUM THAT YEAR AND JUSTIFIBLY SO.

WITH ARTISTS LIKE, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Too Short, Daz, Devin The Dude, 2Pac, Johnny P. AND K.B., AND PRODUCTION OF Tone Capone, N.O. Joe, Mike Dean AND OF COURSE Dr. Dre, MAKE THIS ALBUM AN UNTOUCHABLE ONE.

Any 'Face CD is good.

Let me 1st start off by saying, anything below a 5 is uncivilized as far as I'm concerned. We all have our opinions about this and that and comparing one album to another- which if u think about it, has nothing to do with the other, but to underrate this piece of work is assanine. Classic is even an understatement. Yes, Diary is arguably Face's best work and The Fix was his "5 mic", most commercialized album but did you ever stop and think that this dude may just as well be a genius? This is what we've grown to expect from Mr. Brad Jordan. A Scarface album consists of outstanding, top notch production with catchy, memorable hooks, and mind-blowing, thought provoking lyricism. You can't deny that. Like Jay said, he could drop a straight dud (which he has, Balls and My Word- my opinion) and still stay up. The guest appearances are well placed and have great chemistry with the main artist, which these days is quite rare. I mean a song with Too Short, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Face? Come on, how can you deny that? You ain't gotta like it, but you gotta respect it. I happen to own well over 1000 albums and this is in my top 5 no questions asked. As a matter of fact, this is one of the sole reasons why I became so enthralled in music. This CD was actually one of the 1st 5 CDs I purchased along with Lil' Kim- Hardcore, Makaveli, Life after Death, and Do or Die- Picture This (another stellar Rap-a Lot release). Anyway, this is a superior project, an absolute gem from start to finish. Nothing more, nothing less.

All i can say is that this album is so hard and gritty i get chills when i listen...no warning and untouchable are my tracks i ride to...smile is classic with pac..and mary jane is too tough..

I dont really know why alot of people down talked this album. I guess coming back from an album like "diary" people expected another "diary". One thing IIIQ is he never re-does anything he does no matter how succesful it was. He always moves on & thats exactly what he did with this album & I loved it. The whole feel of the album was more laid back then his previous work. Tracks like "smile" with the legendary 2pac(rip) was HUGE! "mary jane" wich was later slaughterd by ashanti into a love song is a classic to me. The most overlooked song on this album was "smartz" with Devin the dude,the track had that perfect RAP-A-LOT laid back southern gangsta feel to it. Anything less than classic for this album is a shame.
