Scarface Album: “Greatest Hits [PA]”

Scarface Album: “Greatest Hits [PA]”
Description :
Personnel includes: Scarface, Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, Ice Cube, Devin "The Dude", 2Pac, Johnny P., Too Short, Master P., Tela. <p>Producers include: Bido 1, Scarface, Mike Dean, Tone Capone, N.O. Joe. <p>Here's the daddy of them all at his absolute best, the dirtiest cuts from the Don of the Dirty South. Though Scarface's influence hasn't been matched by commercial sales, he's been enormously influential by simply refusing to budge from what he does best throughout his decade-plus career--sticking (literally) to his guns with gritty, violent, profane vignettes of life as he (and many others) know it and live it. Keeping It Real has been the name of the game for Scarface from Day One, and just the titles of these cuts are testament to his success. "Money & the Power" is thug life 101, an irresistible rap set to an inexorable rhythm, while it's up to the seductive "Mary Jane" (yes, you've guessed it--a drug reference!) to show perhaps the only sensitive side Scarface has. <p>Despite the mad subject matter, the rapper knows how to put a track together like few of his contemporaries--the beats are to the fore, slow, heavy and danceable, and the instrumentation is spare but never rudimentary. GREATEST HITS is a fine introduction to the work of this seminal figure in Southern rap.

- Welcome to the South

Scarface is undeniably the King of The South when it comes to rap, wheter he wants the title or not. I would urge rap fans to give Scarface a listen if they haven't yet. His voice is original and laid back and he spits great lyrics. For anybody looking to get into Scarface this is the CD to get. All great songs, nothin to skip on this one.

- King of the South

If you had to ask us what are Southern classics 7 of those classics will be on this Album.I am from Houston and I was not a Big Scarface fan but after I bought this album I am a Big Fan. If you appreciate Southern Rap you betta get this! If you are from the South you betta get this! If you appreciate True hip hop you betta get this! Even if you hate Southern Rap you should get this. It is a materpiece.

- The best of 'Face

This cd spans the entire length of Scarface's career, beginning with his earliest works (Mr. Scarface) to his most recent offerings (Guess Who's Back). Brad Jordan is clearly at his best and most thought provoking when spitting from his soul in tracks such as "Hand of the Dead Body" and "Now I Feel Ya". Just when you begin to think he's gone political on you, he switches the pace with "Goin' Down" (an ode to be-hotches) and Homiez n' Thugs (featuring a wailing Master P on the hook). As a whole, this disc is a wonderful collection of 'Faces best tracks. The only gripe is that the bonus track is hardly up to par with the rest of the tracks.

- Scarface- the King of the South Coast

I have known Scarface way back in his Geto Boys days and the first time I heard his incredible voice, I began to like his music. Mr. Scarface is by far the best rapper to come out of the south coast and represents the dirty south to the fullest. His flow is just mad intense and incredible and his voice goes all out. There are not many south coast rappers but Scarface makes sure the south coast is put on the map, as well as the east coast and west coast. This CD features his many great classics from his earlier days to his most recent work. Scarface keeps it real in most songs and can get you hooked on his music easily. He may not be better than 2Pac, Biggie and Nas but he truly is a great writer and producer. And you can be damn sure that he is the best to come out of the south coast. Songs like 'Mr. Scarface', 'Smile', 'F*ck Faces', 'Homies & Thugs', 'Now I Feel Ya', 'I Seen a Man Die', 'Hand of the Dead Body', 'Jesse James' and 'Born Killer' explain to you why you just need to go out and buy this album. In fact, you don't even need to listen to the songs to get it- Scarface is such a great rapper that you don't even need to hear the songs. I advise every rap fan to get this album if they don't have it because if you don't, you're truly missing out on the real strength of the south coast. I don't know many south coast rappers but I am pretty damn impressed with the work Scarface has made, he puts it down to the fullest for the southside and makes sure it stays on the map. Also, I advise you to get all CDs by the Geto Boys, Scarface's group, which features Bushwick Bill (who is now kicked out) and Wille D. The Geto Boys are by far the best south coast rap group to ever come. OutKast is another good south coast group, get their albums too. Peace
