2pac Ft. Scarface-Smile (Cee4our Music)


2pac and DMX are 2 of my favorite MC's, not necessarily because of their lyrical abilities, but because of the ability to convey their emotions, stories, and passions in their music.  Scarface and 2pac's Smile off of Scarface's 1997 album Untouchable is a hip-hop classic and has an emotional tone that was matched perfectly by the song's production by Scarface, Mike Dean, & Tone Capone.  DMX's Ayo Kato is an emotionally charged ode to his fallen friend Rudy "Kato" Rangel Jr. who died in June of 2003.  The track's production by Swizz Beatz helps make you feel everything that DMX is saying and I feel it does the same for Smile.  The CDQ version of the song is available for download at http://www.fileserve.com/file/qJwWHPQ
