Title: Scarface - The diary
Post by: _That_Cracka_J on March 20, 2003, 03:55:15 PM
Scarface – The Diary

1. Intro
2. The white sheet…Tight gangsta lyrics.  Smooth, flowing beat and good hook.  4/5
3. No tears…Raw lyrics and a slower tight ass beat.  5/5
4. Jesse James…Again, hella tight lyrics. Decent sounding beat.  3.5/5
5. G’s…Amazing flow by Face.  Catchy hook.  4/5
6. I seen a man die…Deep, emotional song.  The slow, soft beat fits the track perfectly.  5/5
7. One…Dope ass chorus.  Face spits a hella tight flow to a hella tight beat.  5/5
8. Goin’ down…A friendlier sounding beat.  Three good verses.  Someone besides Scarface should have sung the chorus.  3.5/5
9. One time…interlude
10.   Hand of the dead body…Excellent collaboration with Ice Cube.  Both put it down well.  A+ hook.  4.5/5
11.   Mind playin’ tricks ’94…A remake of the classic song with some updated lyrics.  Beat sound pretty much the same, but updated to ‘94’s production.  4/5
12.   The diary…The production of this song sounds a litte earlier than 1994.  Scarface flows his off on this final track.  4/5
13.   Outro

OVERALL…4.25/5

Excellent, well-rounded CD.  Quality production and on point lyrics.  The production sound like they were made today.  My only real complaint is that the album is not long enough…barely over 43:00.  Still a great album front start to finish.

Yeah, I'll see what I can do.....I'm not really a fan of a lot of east coasts rappers, so someone else would probably have to do those.

"Hand Of The Dead Body"...what a joint there.

Nigga don't believe that song
That nigga's wrong
Gangstas don't live that long


Devin is a master on the choruses.
