The Untouchable 1997 Album

Scarface

Face's album before this was 'The Diary' which is one of the best rap albums of all time, so this was always going to be compared unfairly. All of the production is hard, enjoyable and often with some g-funk. The highs are great and offer variety. The funkily menacing, 'Untouchable', the chill and vibey, 'Mary Jane', and the calming Pac assisted 'Smile' are all great songs in their own way. Elsewhere, the quality never drops too much, but I think there is too much of the same sound and lyrically this isn't as interesting as Scarface's best from front to back. The closing song, 'Game Over', while still good, doesn't quite live up to the names, sounding like a poor man's 'Natural Born Killaz'. I think this would be thought of more highly if 'The Diary' didn't exist. Beats: ★★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★☆ Best Tracks: Untouchable, Sunshine, Mary Jane, Smile
