Hey man, i can tell you are young and/or new to hiphop. That's all good though....oh ya, Scarface is from Houston, Texas. DOWN SOUTH....
As for Scarface, every album he has put out with the exception of his double, has been hot. However, he only has one CLASSIC, nearly flawless album. It is called THe Diary, and it is Scarface at his best. I GUARANTEE you won't be disappointed.......the album has all types of songs (deep, lyrical, political, gangsta, party, playa/mack, etc). It is Scarface's most diverse album ever. Buy this album....
He has many other great songs..here''s some, not all....
Money makes the world go round ft. daz
GEto fantasy w/geto boys
Damn it feels good w/ geto boyz
Smile ft. 2pac
Smartz
Still ft Geto boys
Mr. Scarface
Mary Jane
Hope this helps, buy THE DIARY

Cop all his material when you get the chance, including his stuff with the Geto Boys. But I recommend you pick up "The Diary" first, this is my fav. album from him and his personal best imo. A classic through and through. I love deep songs and this album is filled to the rim with them. Prolly one of the deepest and darkest albums you'll hear throughout any genre of music. The flawless production is handled by N.O Joe, Mike Dean and Uncle Eddie. The majority of beats have that laid back westcoast feel to them and in some cases are a bit dark but they suit 'Face's flow perfectly. Standout tracks for me include:
The White Sheet
Jesse James
G's
I Seen A Man Die (Includes my fav. 'Face verse)
Hand Of The Dead Body (Ft Ice Cube, this is also the only guest appearence on the album)
Mind Playin' Tricks

The homies teecee and 7O4D beat me to explaining how classic The Diary is so it saves me time cause I was going to right an essay about it haha j/p. Face is probably my favorite M.C. and The Diary is in my Top 10 albums of all time. Not only was the album classic from beginning to end but it was the first time Scarface introduced his new flow which was what made this album such a landmark.
Anyways these are my favorite Scarface albums in order:
1. The Diary [5/5]
2. Mr. Scarface Is Back [5/5]
3. The Untouchable [4.5/5]
4. The Last Of A Dying Breed [4.5/5]
5. The World Is Yours [4/5]
6. My Homies [4/5]
If you enjoy his solo albums you should definitely check out his work with the Geto Boys. Get We Can't Be Stopped if you decide getting a Geto Boys album. The shit is classic!

Definitely the diary...his best work.

Honestly, I never really like Scarface but after listening to him a few times I feel like picking up some of his stuff now.
Iam definitely copping The Diary. After seeing all you guys say its classic, I must get it. Iam also copping The Untouchable because I had that album but lost it but I remember it was real good. The song with Pac alone is worth getting the album.
