Free Music Notes for The World Is Yours
Free Music Review: Slept On Classic!
Hit: 5 Stars
To start this off, Scarface is a don. He's paid his dues, and left a wonderful mark on the ever changing Hip Hop landscape. Throughout his never ending career, he's influenced such acts as; N.W.A (especially Ice Cube) several members from Wu Tang, and he fathered Biggies style.
Back in the late 1980's, the groundbreaking rugged Hip Hop group - The Geto Boys hit the underground scene hard. Their lyrics were vulgar, violent, and to many offensive, but they verbally displayed what the streets were like, and took you with them on their lyrical rides of inner city life and crime. On their second LP, they cut two members and recruited Willie D, and most importantly - SCARFACE. This second album did better than their first, and even caught the attention of the legendary Rick Rubin. After this, Scarface got to record his first album "Mr. Scarface Is Back" which is now rightfully hailed as a classic. Afterwards he got back together to record what would be the Geto Boys most successful album "We Can't Be Stopped." You'd think he'd run out of his juices and fumble on his second solo effort, but not at all. "The World Is Yours" turned out to be on the same level (if not a bit better) than the work he did previously. His best Album of his entire career (with, or without the Geto Boys) would come out a year after this ... but this one's still good though.
If you ask me, Scarface and the whole Geto Boys posse kinda fell off after the mid 90's. After that they made the same songs, but not as good. Oh well. The Geto Boys are rap pioneers, and Scarface is one of the most influential MC's of ALL time.
If you're a fan of REAL, rugged, grimy Hip Hop - this slept on classic is worth your time and money.

Scarface is one of those rappers that helped define an era of gangsta rap. He is a huge part of the Rap-A-Lot legacy. The World Is Yours from 1993, is one of the hardest albums from this legendary label. The beats slap with that southern hard core melodic early 90's G-Funk inspired horrorcore from the likes of N.O. Joe, James Smith, John Bido, and Scarface himself, with Mike Dean adding some additional mixing. Scarface's raps are laced with relentless mainy flows showing that the 5th Ward ain't nathan to mess wit. "Lettin' Em Know," "Comin' Agg," "Dying With Your Boots On," "He's Dead" among many others need no description, for the title tells all, simply put, angry gangbangin' over bass heavy slap. "Now I Feel Ya" is different though, a nice laidback softer G-Funk beat giving homage to those who helped him come up in life and who gave him game to realize where he was heading in life and to change it for the better. "Funky Lil Aggin" is o.k.; it showcases a youngster named 2 Low who would release his only solo joint Funky Lil Brotha later that year (1993); the beat is funky and twangy, and 2 Low's flow is good and hardcore. One of my favorites is "You Don't Hear Me Doe." The beat is melodic in the vein of early Compton's Most Wanted, but of course with a tangy southern lowrider G-Funk style beat. The beat is awesome, and Face spits fire like a tech, makin it known he ain't playin.' Overall, a bangin' classic that took Scarface and Rap-A-Lot to a whole nother level. Houston is home to Face, and many of my favorite rappers of all time; albums like this cement such sentiments!Free Music Review: The world is his!

I have always been a fan of Scarface since his first album. His aggressive stlye of rapping plus the social commentary puts him above the average rapper from the south. This second album has a lot of gems in it which are COMIN AGG, THE WALL, LETTIN EM KNOW, LET ME ROLL, YOU DONT HEAR ME DOE, DYING WITH YOUR BOOTS ON, NOW IF FEEL YA(deep old school classic), MR SCARFACE PART 3 FINAL CHAPTHER, HE'S DEAD and IM BLACK(deep record about police brutality). Filler: Still that n***a, Strictly For The Funk Lovers(stupid filler wher they pretty much say doodoochaser all over the record) and Funky Lil N***a(the little boy so wack its sidesplitting hilarious. Bottom Line: The World Is Yours is a classic that is that any Scarface fan will enjoy. Scarface's raps are still on point, the production was solid and he gave you a little insight on certain tracks. A definite must-have!Free Music Review: king of the south!

Scarface is a true emcee from the old school that can rap about any subject given to him. This ablum is dope from front ot back. It is the type of alum that you put in and just let it play without skipping not a single track. The lyrics and beats are sick. This is definitely a album for your collection.
