Was chopping it up with the homie E.S.G. today and we got into convo about Face. We both agreed he is the greatest rapper of all time. I know this thread has probably been done but I think it deserves a re up lol.
What are y'all favorite Face albums? This is always very tough for me but I think I give "Untouchable" a slight edge.
Discuss.
-
The Fix.
-
yeah untochable is undeniable face at his best,
and last of dying breed gotta be right next 8)
-
The Diary has always been my favorite alone just for "Hand Of The Dead Body" and "I Seen A Man Die"
but Untouchable is def my second favorite
-
Can't believe anyone still says "The Fix." Definitely a great album but I think it's as liked as it is due to it's mainstream success. It's definitely not touching Diary or Untouchable. It's actually one of Face's worst albums imo. Take that with a grain of salt though because I really really love all of his albums including The Fix.
On My Block is a classic though
-
The Dairy Hands Down!!!!
That was a classic right there.

co-sign, and because The Source gave it 5 mics
still a solid album though, I can listen to it straight through but I don't know about it being classic
-
The Fix. Dope album.
-
Untouchable for me. I heard Diary after that so I couldn't really get into it right. I had the Untouchable cassette lol
-
Mr Scarface is Back was my first and fav just for sentimental value type shit.
Then the Diary
THen Untouchables
Then Emeritus
Then The Fix

With most artists, u notice how everyone tends to agree on favorite/best albums? snoop, nas, biggie, cube, 2pac, jay-z, etc. - most ppl share the same opinions on this question for those artists. When it's Face, his disco is so good/strong, u find so many different opinions..thats why he's the g.o.a.t. in my opinion; that speaks volumes of his catalog of music.

Mr. Scarface Is Back
and then The Fix...i swear, that shit sounds sonically perfect!

1st album I bought from Face was The Diary (still got the cassette). It's one of my fav. album's of all time. I still haven't heard his 1st 2 albums, though (only some songs here and there). The Fix is my 2nd fav.
-
the thing about face is that he is probably the most consistent rapper in the game so it is hard to choose

no doubt about that and that's what makes him the greatest of all time
the only argument i ever see to refute that is he never stepped outta his lane and made a change for the worst..who cares? that's a good thing imo.

I've come to the conclusion that "On My Block" is my favorite hip hop song of all time :laugh:

top 5 for me
guess whos back has some of the "best rapping perfectly fitting a beat" ever imo. Jay-Z and Face ride it perfectly. Bean's voice turns me off the end tho.
-
Untouchable , Liked the Beats on that album .... but My Homiez and The Diary was cool too ..
-
the fix has just too many great songs... i like untouchable too but its a bit different feel/mood
the funny thing is what got me into scarface is listening to a Scarface - Balls And My Word cd.. which i found out is not even official cd by scarface... still like it though 8)

Well most people can agree the fix or mr scarface is back.... are his best.....
depends on your definition of goat.. i dont consider him as goat on the same level as someone as biggy/cube/2pac..(at least in public view).... but he is def great... disco...wise
-
Hard to say for me. Loved Last Of A Dying Breed, but if put on the spot I would have to say The Diary.

But I don't think that's true..I actually see ppl say "Untouchable" more than both of those albums; people have a tough time choosing here.
As I've stated he isn't the best rapper ever in terms of lyrical bars but his disco is the best I've ever heard so to me, that is more important making him the best of all time. I don't give a fuck if your a better rapper than him if u can't turn it into a good album(s).

Surprised alot of people are saying The Fix. By no means am I saying this as a diss but for younger Face fans that album is like Blueprint for Jay-Z. His crowning acheivement. Most older Face fans that I know do not like that album at all, because out of all his albums the sound and tone of the album deviated the most from his core sound. Not to say it was a bad thing, I thought he had some of his most heartfelt songs on that album.

No1 mention "the World is Yours"? Thats a dime right there. I used to bump that shit everyday on my may to school when it came out!!! Anyway all his albums get a 4 or 5 star rating from me!!
Peace
