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.

Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.
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.
