He is sometimes forgotten in the BEST MC debate. The TOP 5 Houston rapper Scarface is never forgotten in my book. With close to about four #classic albums in his catalog and other albums just as close, he should never be dismissed when it comes to one of the greatest.

Review:
This artist is amazing in his own rights. He's been lyrical and star sense he was a member of the legendary group Geto Boys in the late 1980's. Five MIC #classic in my rotation all day. This particular album was his 7th release. This album was his 1st release on Def Jam South, which was founded in 1999 from Def Jam Recordings with founder Russell Simmons. Other artist on that platform were, Ludacris, Disturbing the Peace and Young Jeezy.
The Source Magazine was on point when they ranked it 5 Mics. Other music platforms raked it either 4/5 or 8/10. In all, most reviewers knew this album is a problem. If you haven't heard it, please do your research. Also, check out "Deeply Rooted" and "The Diary" albums which I believe are also classics. And his other albums come pretty close.
This body of work was pretty much held down by Mr. Jordan, but he did have some heavy features. Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel blessed the joint, "Guess Who's Back". NAS blessed, "In Between Us". And he even had songstress's Faith Evans and Kelly Price shine on a couple of songs.
If your not aware, Scarface's name is Brad Jordan. Yes, another Jordan that is considered the GOAT of there profession. Shout out to Michael Jordan. They are not related.

This 2002 #classic was supposed to be followed up by an album called, "The Habit" in 2010. That never happened. He did continue to put out work, but in my opinion, the best work he's produced after "The Fix", was albums, 2007 "M.A.D.E." and 2015 "Deeply Rooted".
In March of this year, we found out that Brad Jordan is fighting for his life because he caught the Corovirus. I like to dedicate this BLOG and MY YOUTUBE review to Mr. Jordan and hope he recovers soon, so he can put out those collaboration albums he's been talking about. Imagine him and Jay-Z or NAS or Eminem or Fabolous on an entire album. Get better KING!
