The Fix is a great album but I have to say this...

It bothers me to some small degree when certain people are quick to call it his "best album". I feel a huge reason some do that is because it's his least "southern" album (Jay/Nas/Beans collaboes, Kanye production, etc.)

Not saying EVERY single person who believes The Fix is his best album has Eastcoast bias (I have it 3rd behind The Diary and Untouchable) but there's no way you can be a true Face fan and put it leaps and bounds ahead of his other classics.

Its definitely his most accessible album but keep in mind who chose the beats as the acting president of Def Jam South.

Also, think about how far he goes back with Nas, Jay, and Beans.

I don't recall anyone saying "leaps and bounds." That's your interpretation of the praise the album gets.

Ultimately, as someone like Nas who gets criticism on here for beat selection, Face chose his as well. Along with the features.

If that's your issue with the album, point your finger at Brad.

The discussion isn't about whether it's his "best" album, breh. I'm merely asking is this particular album of his considered a classic amongst thecoli brehs...

It blends together for me after My Block so I stop there.
Doesn't mean it isn't a classic, just how I feel.

Lot of cold lyrics were on this album. Facemobb didn't disappoint. Actually was trying to listen to the New album on tidal and found myself going straight for the fix instead because when it first dropped it was :ohlawd: and here we are almost 14 years later still sounding great was def a start to finish type of album every track was fiya. Production was :whew:
I must've been in 11th grade. Remember having this on a burnt cd. This was like right before 50 cent really really popped off to the masses before that I was bumping guess whos back and all that and noone ever knew wtf I was listening to :ufdup:
They only cared about lil flip and other bums.

I became super lazy with school around this era and only came to class to check in on my lil babies :noah:
Lets go somewhere private after school? Maybe bbq spot for some grub and explore our teenage urges?
Used to just lay in the bed at a girls house while she roamed the room tending to things and would get the meat hard to flop
In front of them.. The :lupe: face was priceless :myman:





Remember being at this girls house and she had like 3 female friends with her and they all was glued to the computer on myspace I was sitting in a oval wickker basket seat and really went for the best angle and display of my meat on swole and muttered "hey guys whatchall doin?" And they all 4 looked and saw the dikk waving one of them laughed it off and went back to myspace two of them stared for ever and the last one looked back at myspace.. Back at the dikk... Back at myspace. And i would say with certainty I had a nextel back then and i got t9 texts and chirps from all the homegirls of that girls house we was at and they was asking what needsd to be done to get on the dikkington :salute:
