Scarface ft Beanie Sigel & The Game - I Never Snitch (Remix)
Scarface - I Never Snitch (Original)

This joint has been making rounds lately, but with everyone asking me about it, I decided to add more shine to the cut. There's a reason for that.

First, let me state that I wasn't ready for a collabo between Scarface and The Game in this lifetime. In the same vein, I couldn't forsee Hurricane Game sharing mic time with Beans after he insulted every Roc-a-fella/semi-Roc-a-fella artist in existence, last year.

Regardless, there's nothing undermining about this take-no-prisoners plexus of three undeterred MC's, who firmly profess a common cause - may all rats and rattresses rot in hell.

I said it before: another anti-snitch cut from 'Face borders on redundancy and it won't be too long before the word "unpredictability" disappears completely from his vocabulary.

Thankfully, though, this remix is not wack.

In fact, I'll go out of my way and confess that this is the most cohesive collaboration I've heard all year (yeah, yeah I know, '06 is only three weeks old).

Beans rhymes with so much precision I'm concerned he's starting to morph into Rakim. Scarface does everything but rhyme like any other Houston rapper you've extolled in the past. As for Chuck Taylor, well he seems to overwhelm when surrounded by heavyweights. Unfortunately, he's the only one here without a damn clue that the song was meant to be subliminal dis.
