This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
On THE FIX, Scarface works overtime to show that a rapper can retain his gangsta credibility and still explore other avenues of expression. He lays down hard-hitting thug-life scenarios on such tracks as "Safe" and "Keep Me Down," but THE FIX is far from monochromatic. The bevy of producers add something special to each track, from the aforementioned "Keep Me Down"'s clever utilization of an acoustic guitar riff sampled from '60s folkie Tom Rush, to golden-touch crew the Neptunes adding some pop/R&B flavoring (not to mention the sensual vocals of Faith Evans) to the catchy "Someday." Thematically, "Guess Who's Back" finds Scarface singing the praises of old-school camaraderie with Beanie Siegel and Jay-Z, while the complex sociological analysis of "What Can I Do?" favorably recalls the Furious Five's classic "The Message."

- Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2002"

Rolling Stone (9/19/02, p.99)

- Ranked #18 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"

Spin (12/02, p.41)
- 8 out of 10 - "...'Face underscores dead-eyed urban realism with all-grown-up reflection..."

Q (10/02, p.117)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...Impressive..."

Uncut (11/02, p.134)

5 of 5 Great Saturday, October 12, 2002
LIlchick186@Hotmail.com from Oakland, California  
I loved the way scarface has his own sound and voice. No one can tell him that he sounds like someone else. LIke 2pac he will also be known playing in people's stereo bumping down the street.
