Disco de Scarface: “Dopeman Music”

Scarface is a rap music vet/icon; 20 years in the game releasing good music (he has 11 solos, 1/2 dozen or so Geto Boys albums, a few Facemob albums, and his "The Product" group album... I might add that all are at least 4 star albums as well) and he continues to carry on his tradition of making good music. This one has 16 songs (2 are remixes of other songs, so it's 14 different songs). of them, 2 are near classic, 2 are ok, the others are good or real good songs. He has 4 solo's on here, and there's 2 songs Face isn't on. Production is nice as well, though no credits are given. As always Face drops above average material here, and stays true to his roots on the content. A nice album to have from teh real KING of the SOUTH.

in this new age of hip hop it's nice to know that some old-school rappers are still holdin it down in the rap game. i came a cross "dopeman music" on a humble about a week ago and after hearin a quick sample, i had to cop it. i've been on scarface & the geto boys since the rap-a-lot days. the rap game has changed, but my man hustled hip hop instead of it hustlin him. stayin current but old-school, scarface has remained one of the hardest rappers in the game. "dopeman music" from 1-done is tight...classic scarface. dopeman music, 2 the beat, wanted, & the ghetto report to name a few, remind me of some of his old-school classics that i grew up on. "dopeman music" is a must have for any rap fan. scarface has done it again!!

From the very beginning and to the end, Face lets you know that he is and always will be one of the absolutely best to ever do this.

Again, he takes on a project or "mixtape" and just shines. This time around he is mainly featuring B. James and Monk Kaza, both represent themselves finely on this compilation. Young Malice also shows up again a couple times with that laid back Cali flow that I love to ride to and still enjoy on "One Hundred" with Face and Willie Hen.

For me this is all about Face. He is just about, damn near, closet I've ever heard to FLAWLESS. Only fillers are the skits. The tracks are remarkable! This is gangsta or hustle or life rap at its finest. Please, if you have an ear for hip-hop and rap, carefully listen to "Hustle Game" track 11. To me it is one of the finest deliveries I have ever heard; recorded, freestyled or live.

Mannnnn, I LOVE THIS DUDE!!!

im glad face is back. even though its not a full album, this tape rocks!!. classy on the edge lyrics and beats. scarface isnt alone in this mixtape, he has his fellow facemob members on this release and that isnt bad at all. they r good rappers themselves and it al rounds off at the end. im very happyyy with this purchase. reccomended!! dont sleep on this!!
