If it was just the first disc i'd go with LAD... as it is Face takes it.

Damn! Both rank about equal to me but Untouch is the better overall album.

Christopher Wallace EASILY! this shit is an embarassment....this isn't The Diary or Mr.Scarface Is Back we're talking about here this is the very touchable Untouchable.....lol

Agreed, The Untouchable is no better than the 4th best Face album, maybe 5th.

Untouchable is my 2nd fav Face album and you may be surprised to find out its number one to some people. There is not one weak song on that Untouchable and plenty of classic songs.

Biggie....but I definitely dig this Face album

Life After Death, but not in a blowout.

*raises hand*

Scarface. Less filler, more killer.

I agree to those terms. Face for me too.

Biggie.

You sure there's not a Will Smith, Vanilla Ice, or MC Hammer album that should have made it into the second round to go against Face, Kev?

Face in a close one

Biggie but that Face is great

Untouchable is no where near Brad's best solo album Get The Fuck Out

'Face's catalog ranks better than that mayne!

I can see why it'd rank highly to Face stans. It is a dope album but Face Is Back, Diary, and Fix are superior IMO. It's about on the same level as Last Of A Dying Breed to me. Some excellent standouts, but also some skip material.

Untouchable is an excellent album, and I also cosign that it's not his best solo album. It has some memorable material on it, but it's not better than The Diary, The Fix, Mr. Scarface Is Back, and it does give The Last of a Dying Breed a run for its money.

Biggie

I have Untouchable as my #1. There is no way that it's 4 or 5 in his discography. I am going to need some of you all to update your Scarface spins.....lol

Smart man Highsmith and i'm a little surprised. Them boys no nothing about Face, they need to stick to the artist they are used too.

My top 2 are Untouchable & The Fix. Mr. Scarface is Back would more than likely be 3, followed by The Diary. ...also please tell me what tracks on Untouchable are skip tracks. I would definitely like to know.....lol

My top 5 are:

Mr Scarface Is Back
Untouchable
The Fix
The Diary
World Is Yours

that explains what I feel about that dumb ass statement Kev...a difference of opinion means that I don't know about all about Brad's catalog?? Get The Fuck Out

My top 3 'Face solo efforts are:

Mr.Scarface Is Back
The Diary
The Fix

Untouchable slides in at number 4.......sorry in advance to all those offended by this information..... Laughing My Ass Off

my top 3 are Mr Scarface is Back, The Diary, The Untouchable...with The Fix close sometimes creeping into the top 3. His discog is hard for me to pin a clear cut favorite for some reason though, but thats a good problem to have

Who decided it had to be Face's best to be better than LAD? There's A LOT of garbage on that double album.

My sentiments exactly. My number one face album is The Fix personally, but this is not close behind. The Biggie has some amazing songs... but two discs..not all of it was necessary.

Life After Death is a far better album than The Untouchable. People saying that they're "garbage" on LAD should take their bias shades off and notice the multiple skip tracks on Untouchable.

If LAD is eliminated this tournament is worthless. LAD may not be on the level of Ready To Die, but it's light years better than this Face album which only has about three or four classic tracks on it. Disc 1 of LAD alone slaughters UT.

Personally I have Fix at number one, but those are definitely his top 3, and I still think Untouchable and Last Of A Dying Breed are interchangable for the 4th spot personally.

Untouchable easily. No skip tracks. Go back and listen to that shit. And it's my favorite Face album too, even among all the other greats he has.

LOL!!!!!!!!! It ain't no joke when your fav album seems to losing or lost. I see the passion. Even though I was cool with Untouchable losing to LAD. Because LAD is a classic album also. But most of your above statements has been rejected by "members with common sense review board". Thanks for the request though and try again.

Members with common sense my black ass! More like members who are biased as fuck. It's whatever though. My opinions will remain the same regardless of the results.

I own the Untouchable and I count at least 4 skip tracks. The only skip track on Life After Death is Playa Hata, and even that one I can stand to listen to sometimes.

lmao... one skip track on LAD? Nasty Boy....

SyRuP Sippa wrote:: lmao... one skip track on LAD? Nasty Boy....

I like Nasty Boy quite a bit.

I don't skip any trks on LAD either save for Playa Hater. I know Biggie is taking for granted on this forum. But on the other hand its not like LAD is losing to Ghetto Twiinz...lol.

there are NO skip tracks on Life After Death IN MY OPINION....not even Playa Hater...

that shit is funny as hell.....it's a joke people learn to laugh....Nasty Boy is FIRE.....Another is FIRE...the entire double album is FIRE.....Biggie left us with a gem, and I'm thankful to him for doing just that.....

The entire second disc is laughable. I guess I just didn't drink the Kool-Aid, because there is just nothing there worth hearing to me.

I love Biggie and I love this album, but if Biggie hadn't died we wouldn't even have people claiming this was classic.

Songs on LAD that are not classic:

Last Day
I Love The Dough
Fuckin You Tonight
Another
Nasty Boy
Miss U
Playa Hater

I think disc 2 tracks 8 to 12 are the best part of the album IMO, but there is a lot of filler on here. And Playa Hater is too long and not funny after a few spins, should have been an interlude at best.

Take Last Day off of that list, and I agree

Last Dayz is FIRE

I Love The Dough is ridiculous...both Biggie and Jay killed that shit lyrically...and the Angela Winbush sample is dope as hell.....

Another..again another very dope sample and Biggie and Kim destroyed it lyrically IMO!

Nasty Boy has a dope party/club beat and the lyrics told a funny story....

Miss U was legit...a remembrance piece-whats the big deal?? lol

Playa Hater-well thats what most on this forum are special shout-out to Pedro, Jeffrey and Lil Joe...lol
