Album Notes
Audio Mixers: John Bido; Mike Dean.
Recording information: The Ranch Studio.
A year after his stellar eighth LP, M.A.D.E., the Houston O.G. is back for his purported swan song, appropriately titled EMERITUS. Controversy often makes for compelling hip-hop so Scarface does well to let Rap-A-Lot chief J Prince set things off by detailing his legal troubles, the snitches involved, and an alleged conspiracy against the H-Town businessman on the album's intro. From there, `Face sends sniper shots at rival Lil Troy ("High Powered"), examines the Iraq War and recession from a ghetto point of view ("Can't Get Right"), and recounts wrong-road-taken ghetto tales ("Still Here"). Production from Nottz, Illmind, N.O. Joe, Jake One, and Scram Jones mixes soul and blues samples with frenzied key arrangements to a menacing effect. If there are any doubts left as to Scarface's lyrical prowess, the closing title track should put them to rest. Let's hope that `Face's idea of retirement is something like Jigga's.
Industry Reviews
Brad Jordan's strongest quality is his ability to preach the ghetto gospel in a manner that's uniquely poetic. He exemplifies that ability on 'Can't Get Right'...
