Def Jam 25: Scarface “The Fix”
Thursday, October 08 2009 2:55 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True StoryWithin the last decade, one of the best products to roll off Def Jam’s assembly line was Scarface’s The Fix. Released seven years ago, the album was revered as one of Face Mob’s best work. 636,000 fans agreed and The Source bestowed it with a 5 mic rating.
Aside from the poignant lyrics, what made The Fix so special was its escape. A colleague revealed to me that the album influenced him to get baptized. He said found he solace in tracks like, “Someday” and “Between Us.” For me, “My Block” transported me to Houston’s 5th Ward, while “What Can I Do” allowed me to roam the heavens. Add features from Nas, Jay-Z, and Beanie Sigel and The Fix turned out to be more than just a quick hit.

Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
An AMAZING album. So deep. Didn’t get it’s due.
that album was and still best album of the year, that year….someday was real deep, guess who back was serious, still waitin on mack and brad album….better yet nas and face should one. the way they go back and forth, is like an og schoolin a youngin’
it doesnt get the respect it deserve!
Face is currently “retired” from rap BUT he said if he had the opportunity to do an album wit Nas and Cube then he would come back. I heard him speak on that Mack and Brad album awhile back but with as much trouble as beans gets in, it would be hard to do.
The Fix is 1 of my top 5 fav albums. Face dropped knowledge on every track. Not to mention it had no skits,just straight to the point.
I done been in fist fights wit niggas twice my size/got an incredible record 27-5/ And the 5 loses I got,I had to redeem em/ So he had to fight me everytime I seen him
Man, these ads take me back dawg. I remember the Blueprint ads and a year later the Fix dropped, ahh man thoes were the days.
