This is the explicit edition.

Truly a legend December 2, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

After rapping for over 22 years Face just keeps getting better. Threatening to retire, Scarface drops some classic heat to end out 2008. The album has the same format instrumental beginning and end and 12 songs. I didnt care for the intro this time because Lil J talked over the whole thing and the hook on SOLDIER STORY was a little weak to me. Other than that this album is dope. Scarface once again touches on many different topics and paints the picture in his rhymes better than anyone else. To top it off the production and guest appearances (Bun B, Weezy, Wacko, Bilal) are dope. Highly recommended album!!!!

Play this one all the way through -- Perfect last CD for 'Face December 4, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

First, I'll just mention I am a huge Scarface fan. And therefore, have high expectations. If you aren't familiar with his classic music, you have to listen to a few songs -- I Seen A Man Die, Now I Feel Ya, Mind Playin' Tricks, Hand of the Dead Body, In Between Us -- and definitely get his album, The Diary.

But back to his latest, and possibly last album. 'Face has nothing left to prove, and I'm alright with him going out on top of his game. This CD is a rare CD in the fact that it is dope from track #2 to track #13 (#1 and #14 are the intro and outro). It was interesting to listen to the raw deal he got during the intro...

My favorite standout tracks are:

Forgot About Me ft. Lil Wayne and Bun B
Can't Get Right
Who Are They
Soldier Story

But really there isn't a single song on this CD that doesn't knock. High Powered, Emeritus, High Note... The whole CD bangs. The beats are really outstanding. As a previous reviewer noted, the beats from each song flow together perfectly. The beats are just classic Scarface.

I would highly recommend this. It's hard to compare to other 'Face albums, I'd have to say I like them all. This is probably one of the best from beginning to end. The only drawback for me, there isn't a song on here that I just go 'WOW!' from. No really big hit song, like 'I Seen a Man Die' or 'Mind Playin Tricks' like the old 'Face.

But this is really one of the rare CD's that you can just pop in and let it play all the way through. Thanks for the memories 'Face, I'll miss you.

Whole CD hits! Solid sound December 6, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Face has released a strong album with Emeritus. Every single song hits. Very solid production. Each song is beautifully produced with solid bass, mids, and vocals. Seriously. This CD will take full advantage of your entire sound system. Reminds me of the solid full sound of the Chronic. Rush out and buy it, don't download.

Check "It's Not a Game" and "Who Are They".

Scarface - Another Dope album - one of his best! December 3, 2008

I agree with the previous reviewer, this album is worth the money. Scarface is one of the best lyricists - not rappers, PERIOD!

11th solo is another nice one December 9, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Scarface returns with his 11th solo album, just 1 year after his last album (which is the quickest he's put out solo albums since '97-'98). Not to mention his half dozen or so Geto Boyz albums, and his albums with The Product and Facemob, the man is a legend not just of the south but in the rap game, being around for about 20 years. Though it is on the lower end of his solo albums, it's still worth 4 stars (which says alot of the quality of albums he puts out). Short, like most of his albums, with 12 songs, you get 2 that are ok, the other 10 are good, but no classics or near classic songs on this one. Guests are heavy for one of his albums, on all but 3 songs. Production is decent, not as good as he usually has though. N.O. Joe does 3 songs, Nottz & Illmind each do 2, Cool & Dre, Tone Capone, Jake One, Scram Jones, and Sha Money XL each do 1 song. A nice album for anyone who wants to hear a living legend in the rap game.

#2 - 8 (f/ Paparue)
#3 - 7.5 (f/ Lil Wayne & Bun B - annoying beat)
#4 - 8 (f/ Bilal)
#5 - 9 (f/ Shateish - nice beat)
#6 - 8.5 (f/ Tekia hicks)
#7 - 8.5 (f/ K-Rino, Slim Thug & Porsha)
#8 - 8.5 (f/ The Product {Will Hen & Young Malice} & Z-Ro)
#9 - 7.5
#10 - 8
#11 - 8.5 (f/ Wacko)
#12 - 8.5 (f/ Wacko)
#13 - 9
