Scarface been boring as hell for like 15-20 years now if we're being honest too. He was fresh on the Gang Starr album and every album he drops has flashes of his old self but he been treadin' water too sonically. I loved Brad when he was unhinged.


AZ never even had a career. I couldn't even distinguish all the 00's era AZ albums and I own and like them all.

15 to 20 years? :comeon:
his most album deeply rooted won't really hittin' me like that but hey, you can't win every time :manny: however it ain't bad just average for face. his average is still miles ahead of the next man's best

but 15 to 20 years? naw, bruh
made was great. emertius (08') was really good
dopeman music mixtape (10') was another good project
the fix (02') was great
last of a dying breed(00') underrated album and great as well
my homies (98) was a nice project. 2 discs too and we know how usually double discs can be. but all in all, it's solid
then the untouchable (97') which in recent years has become my favorite face album. great from start to finish. classic

so naw, i don't agree with that at all. not 1 single bit. nope

oh yeah, he even had that facemob project in 96' too

face is by far thee most consistent mc of all time and to think he been doin' this shyt since the 80's and i ain't even count his geto boy albums durin' those 15 to 20 years either :whew:

I'm sayin. I'm about to be 39 in June, family. I was aware when Face was still going by DJ Akshen. All those albums are cool. I never play any of them.

i hear you, but face is the man. he's one of the few in hip hop who's managed to really evolve and never to succumb to some shyt that was out of his element or lane yet still find new and refreshin' ways to keep his music top notch

both their catalogs says otherwise :dame:
sure, like anyone they've had some weak albums but nas when it's all said nas, az and scarface are among the best
yeah, scarface is more consistent than the both them. true. scarface is the fukkin' truth. most consistent mc of all time

nah bro, AZ ain't in that league, but for sure Scarface and Nas are GOAT contenders. AZ on skill for sure, like Prodigy etc., but they don't have the body of work to justify being in the GOAT category.

az discography ain't on the same level as face and nas but az's discography is slept on and a lot better than most even think or know to give him credit for

perhaps, but that really isn't the question
:manny:

AZ has a lot of good shyt that flies under the radar, that's the embodiment of him as an MC. Nas is AZ fully realised, what AZ should have been.

But uncle Face is on a level of consistency only very few can match, solo or group, inc. Tribe, OutKast, Ghostface Killah and maybe Rakim.

yeah, obviously. that's a given, lol

all i was sayin' was that on the low and off the radar, az has been just as consistent as those two. that's not to say that he got albums as great as them because obviously he don't. face is definitely number 1 in terms of everythin' all across the board an artist. face is thee most consistent mc in all of hip hop. nas comes in 2nd place in terms of consistent because we all know nas has released some albums very low his potential and that was mostly due lack of great beats and focus sometimes but lyrically? nas is the best. nas never trips up with those words, man :wow:[/QUOTE]

I see what you're saying. I wasn't sure if you were talking overall or rapping.

Lyrically, Nas has been extremely consistent as shown by his great rapping on his last album. But yeah his beat selection is iffy and at times he sounded uninspired in the past. That's where the inconsistency sets in because that shyt reflects in his discography.

Face is consistent period, in all facets.

So I was actually thinking consistent with respect to discography.

I mean...i guess. The Fix is a bum album. Last of a Dying Breed had some boss moments.

the fix was a lot calmer than previous face albums
but you had songs like heaven, in between us, in cold blood, what can i do, someday, sellout, my block, guess who's back etc.
last of dying breed had like look me in my eyes, in my time, sorry for what, conspiracy theory, o.g. to me, the gangsta shyt, they down with us (nice cover) etc

in my time is one of my favorite face songs :ohlawd:
