The Diary

1994

Scarface came out of the Geto Boys and produced much of this himself. He talks over the beats as often as he raps.

★ 4.3

1996

There were no singles and no videos, and it sold on word of mouth across the South while nobody in New York noticed.

★ 4.9

2008

So much of it leaked in advance that he recorded a second album's worth. The A Milli beat is one chopped-up vocal repeated endlessly.

★ 5.7

1996

André 3000 had stopped drinking and eating meat, and the change shows: the record is cooler and stranger than anything Atlanta had made before.

★ 7.1

2000

B.O.B. runs at a hundred and fifty-five beats a minute, which is drum and bass speed, with a gospel choir on top.

★ 8.5

1998

Rosa Parks sued them over the song named after her, and the case ran for a decade. The record itself goes everywhere at once.

★ 8.7
