 (3 Customer Reviews)
Scarface once again quickly follows a Geto Boys album, Till Death Do Us Part, with a solo release, The World Is Yours, just as he'd done two years earlier with his brilliant solo debut, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The circumstances are otherwise quite different, though. Scarface had been on a roll in 1991: fresh off the breakthrough success of "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" and its similarly well-received Geto Boys album, We Can't Be Stopped, he unveiled a cinematic, somewhat conceptual solo debut that made him a bona fide national superstar. Furthermore, much changed within the rap world between 1991-1993, specifically the end of free-for-all sampling and the widespread proliferation of gangsta rap. Scarface thus delivers a follow-up that's a huge leap forward from his debut, both in terms of production and rhetoric. He works here mostly with producer N.O. Joe, who crafts a G-funk style distinctly modeled after the West Coast sounds of the moment à la The Chronic, and he favors personally introspective rhymes rather than his heedful narratives of the past. The heartfelt seven-and-a-half-minute "Now I Feel Ya" showcases this new lyrical approach best, as Scarface rhymes at one point about his new son and how in turn he's had to alter his lifestyle. The significant changes Scarface has made here on The World Is Yours showcase his unwillingness to revel in the past, as glorious as his past may have been, yet they at the same time may frustrate fans of his early work, as his new style moves him further into the gangsta rap mainstream. ~ Jason Birchmeier
Recorded at Digital Services, Jungle Style and Scarface Studios, Houston, Texas.
Producers: James Smith, John Bido, Brad "Scarface" Jordan, N.O. Joe.
Entertainment Weekly (9/17/93, p.88) - "...Scarface has a husky, slightly twanged cadence that always seems to border on breathlessness...his voice adds a dollop of remorse and ambivalence to the mix...this tension saves THE WORLD IS YOURS from becoming just another rote exercise..." - Rating: B
Vibe (10/93, p.116) - "...the best moments on THE WORLD IS YOURS [twist] gangsta rap inside out to use its rhetoric of violence to narrate inner turmoil..." World Is Yours Music Review Purchase World Is Yours CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | R Kelly R. CDs (1998)

R. was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "I'm Your Angel" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. "When A Woman's Fed Up" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
R. Kelly proves that he's as prolific as he is talented on the two-disc set R., which not only culls together his most noteworthy and successful work, but is bursting with new tracks as well. Filled from start to finish with Kelly's unique blend of smooth vocal stylings and no-nonsense lyrical stance, this album also features the work of a few of his prominent friends--the opener, "Home Alone" sports a guest rap courtesy of Keith Murray, while "Money Makes The World Go Round" is graced by Nas.
A more mainstream pairing is witnessed in the dramatic show stopper "I'm your Angel," which finds Kelly alongside superstar Celine Dion, but the collaboration which really makes its mark is "We Ride," which features Cam'Ron, Noreaga, Jay-Z and Vegas Cats in a veritable who's who of Hip Hop's brightest stars. As if all this weren't enough, the mega-hit "I Believe I Can Fly" is included for good measure. Newcomers to the world of R. Kelly will be attracted by the hits, but they're sure to stay for the instant ...

The Geto Boys' classic single, "Mind Playing Tricks on Me," was all over MTV and the airwaves when Scarface released his first solo album in the fall of 1991, billed as Scarface of the Geto Boys. Although it didn't see anything close to the crossover success that his group's albums had achieved, MR. SCARFACE IS BACK nevertheless was hugely popular in the south, especially in his native Houston, and garnered respect throughout the national hip-hop ...

| | Scarface Diary CD (1994)
World Is Yours
$14.29
On THE DIARY, rapper Scarface creates a powerful, almost operatic progression of characters, portraying the different roles as they derive from the rapper's own persona. So he speaks either as Scarface or as Brad Jordan (his real name), as the cold-blooded gangsta or as a shrewd, compassionate observer of the mean streets of warring colors, doomed youth and innocents caught in the crossfire.
THE DIARY is a graphic, powerful, unwavering look at the day to day violence that has become brutally commonplace for far too many urban citizens, as underscored by the romantic strings, martial rhythm parts and automatic gunfire of "Intro," and the funky kill-or-be-killed ...

Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra: Sun Ra (piano, Clavioline, gong); Marshall Allen (alto saxophone, oboe, percussion); Danny Davis (alto saxophone, percussion); John Gilmore (tenor saxophone, percussion); Pat Patrick (baritone saxophone, percussion); Robert Cummings (bass clarinet); Walter Miller (trumpet); Ronnie Boykins (bass); Clifford Jarvis (drums); Thomas "Bugs" Hunter (percussion).

This album, comprised of sessions recorded in 1963, was originally released on Ra's own Saturn label, and impossible to find until its reissue on CD in 2000.
This set opens with a nearly six-minute-long fanfare: Marshall Allen's oboe and Walter Miller's trumpet are manipulated with tape delay by recording engineer ...
