Why I Think "The Fix" = 5 Mics

<< < (3/4) > >>

=[Euthanasia]=:
I think this is definately worthy of 5 mics when it comes to The Sources standards, no doubt about it. It's on the level of "Stillmatic" imo, and it's better than "The Blueprint". I don't consider it a classic just yet, I mean it's only been out for a few weeks, there's still the longevity test yet. But I think the way I explained why I think it deserves the 5 mics The Source gave it is justified, I knew some people would doubt it's worthyness after The Source rated it because not many people agree with their ratings. I havn't read their review of it but if I was to rate it as a 5 mic album those are the exact reasons I would give (above), thats what i'm trying to say.

I don't think this album rates as high as "The Diary", that album was worth nothing less than 5 mics, this album deserves the 5 mics but nothing more.

In all honesty...I just feel the Eastcoast belives they have shun Face his whole career and belive they owe him.
During his "Akshun" day's the Geto boy's had to struggle to get any prop's outside of the "West". Listen to the music....it was clearly on a different style and level way back then, topic's that had never been tackled by anybody had ever attempted. And I disagree with the census saying "The Diary" was his tightest joint. I really felt "Mr Scarface is back" way more no guest's no comercial track's, Just Face raw as ever.

And the homie above was truley right when he said that Face has never dropped anything less than a 4. (with the exception of the poor "My homies").

In all honesty Face getting the 5 mic's....dosn't really mean shitt to those who have always known he was a 5 mic artist, but congrat's to Mr. Brad Jordan., + being on the home of the 5 mic dosn't hurt u any....(Def Jam  ;) )

Peace

Well I just got The Fix today (only my 3rd 2002 album with Eminem and I.N.I.  :o)  

Anyways I just gave it my first listen from 1-13 non-stop.
So far so good.  I'm feeling some tracks hard already.  Too early to give an "official" opinion.  

One thing that other artists better learn is to follow this blueprint by have 10-14 tracks, minimal guestspots, and NO skits in the middle of the ablum to make you fast forward.  Jigga and Nas did it too and made thier best albums since their debuts.

Hopefully Dre, Redman, Eminem and others can kill the useless skits that get one listen then become fast-forward  material.

Banjo:

"The Fix" is truly a very good album...

What makes it a good album is its length and that there are no skits! - And of course the fact that there's no bad trax on it, actually most of the trax are good imo.

If I had to rate it I would give it 4.75...

Gotta say it, gotta say it, gotta say it...

Can't bottle it up any more...

I prefer The Fix to The Diary.

Phew... there, it's out there - I'm prepared for the hail of bullets, stones and fruit 'n' veg.

In my humble opinion Fix doesn't have one throw away track on it - nothing there that doesn't speak volumes about life and the day-today struggles we all go through.

I LOVE The Diary, don't get me wrong. Got it on cassette the day it came out in the UK and bumped it for months and months. Know all the words to Man Die and MInd Playin Tricks 94. But it has a couple of weak tracks, like G's and... whatever the closing track was called (apologies, the tape is at my parents' house many miles away).

I've got all face's solo albums apart from My Homies and Dying Breed. He's done some wack shit in his time (Untouchable is a fucking horrendous album - straight garbage). But I genuinely think Fix is the hottest CD he's made.

Don't hate me too bad - Diary comes second.  ;D
