Face dreams he was the greatest rapper.

Just because YOU believe he has all classic albums doesn't make it so. And even if he did have a perfect discography, it still doesn't mean shit because there are better rappers. Face is good, but his rhymes aren't very complex and there are far better lyricists out there.

IMO his last albums aren't that great  :-\
But he's definitely one of the best and has dropped a lot of classics with the Geto Boys and solo...

iīm glad iīm not the only one on here thatīs a Face head. the thing about Face thatīs unique is the technically heīs not really a great rapper but his subject matter,beat selection,voice and song writing abilities are on another level. when it comes to to pure lyrical skills heīs not even the best in Houston IMO coz thatīs Ro but the big difference is that Face albums are always jamming and Ro stay dropping average shit.

2 things to mention about scarface (recent stuff anyway) for instance I had never heard a full scarface album until I heard the Fix. For me scarface is obviously a good lyricist, is obviously able to express himself and drawn in the listener with his introspective lyrics but his voice gets irritating and furthermore he can't really flow. It is the production and his lyrics which carry the album and it is a very listenable album but in my opinion really tails off after track 8. The reason why I listened to this album is obviously I have heard him before on various collabos but as this album was mentioned as a modern day rap classic, I had to listen to it myself. I think what I am likely to find is that scarface is consistent but the beats need to fit around him, he can't fit around the beats. However for that very reason, I don't think he can be described as great. In addition to which, he isn't going to dazzle anyone with wit, with punch lines, with metaphors, so I genuinely don't think he can be described as a classic.

The Fix is one of his worst albums though.

..i know if if was a 5th we'd all be fucked...

but if k had the handouts that face had comin up... face wouldnt even be a factor

everybody face done been with had connection from j to troy he aint have to go thru the struggles k-rino has..

i heard a long time ago.. big mello when he was on rap-a-lot.. was the only nigga to not have ft's from anyone.. kuz they aint wanna let him put k-rino on bone hard or wegonefunk.. forgot which one it was..

hell thinkin bout it.. the 2 cats affiliated with spc.. and rap-a-lot..k-rino wasnt on anyone of their albums...

kinda crazy...


k-rino a lil bit too deep for some tho... that nigga makes u go back n google shit..
