Tuface Idibia - The Unstoppable (2008)
I decided to forgive 2face for that insult he called an album mid last year, I cant remember what it was called because I launched it into orbit somewhere around Sanusi Fafunwa.
Well I have “The Unstoppable” here with me and I’m hoping 2Baba can redeem himself with this effort.
INTRO
This is kinda nice but it does feel a little overdone and the little thug harmony thang just feels wrong for 2face…
JUNGLE DON MATURE
I got the message; You’re trying to promote your new record label: Hypertek. The sad thing about this track is that while it could possibly have been a great song, the lyrics and in fact the entire song ends up sounding quite forced and unatural.
TAKE IT BACK
The production on this is actually quite decent. I can see it getting some good air play but, there’s nothing spectacular about it. It’s a very generic formula track. The rapping by some dude called ?Carter? is also decent, though to be honest he sounds more to me like a less lyrically gifted and more shallow version of Zion I Come to think of it Nigerian DJ’s will probably assault me in the club with this.
OUTSIDE
What the effing hell is this gay ish???
CANT DO WITHOUT YOU
Marginally less gay but still very weak… I can certainly do without this song in my life. This Melissa Briggs chick got a decent voice. We could have done without Tuface.
FREE
This song has Marley (Bob, Damian and all a dem) written all over it. Still its quite refreshing from the gayness of the last two tracks and oh wow 2face is actually trying something a little different vocally… hmm I think Dare was a good influence on him… Maybe a quick class with Mode 9 or MI so he can learn to stop using corny ass lines like “zoom zoom zoom… i’ve been to the moon…”
PAKO
Ok this song will probably get mad air and club play its the kind of wack stuff Nigerians gobble up…man this guy is lyrically anorexic…get your weight up son…
SO PROUD (REMIX)
ooh Chaka Demus and Pliers… Seems more like their song featuring 2face rather than the other way around wtf? He just barely managed not to get completely outclassed and outshined on his own song…
FLEX
R. Kelly just regurgitated something he did like in the early 90’s or something. Quite weak on all counts and the lyrics are just plain lame… Random question who do you think has more kids? Get it? 
OH PAPA
Over dramatic. The track is way too powerful for 2face.. Completely overshadows him. I keep wishing he would shut up and let me listen to that piano.
GO DOWN THERE
Whatever. Lame.
EXCUSE ME SISTER
Just how gay is he going to get on this album??? Damn…
APPRECIATE IT
hmm.. now we’re talking… this is 2face. nice? track.
ENTER THE PLACE
Can anyone say Kolomentality… ok I’ll let this slide cuz they all started out together so their styles must cross at some point. Sound Sultan didn’t add anything to the track but I can see a club banger here…
FEELING YOU (SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE REMIX)
Produced by B.Howard (USA) so what? The USA beside the production credit is supposed to lend some credibility to this wack track?
I SING
Aiight straight of the bat I’m feeling this beat. Pity the lyrics are lame.
SEE IT COMING
Some people have been listening to too much Damian Marley. but not bad. Ok this is really sad I was feeling the track till 2face came on. So sad…
FLY
Fly, Fly, Fly, Fly out of my life
OUTRO
whew its over.
Tuface Idibia - The Unstoppable (2008) Album Cover Back
Tuface is a long way from being The Unstoppable and this is by far the weakest of his 3 albums (I refused to acknowledge the existence of that thing he released last year). The Unstoppable is a good album by most Nigerian standards but not mine. I look for innovation, creativity and passion and this album gives me none of the above. 5 years ago, maybe even 2 years ago this would have stood out especially with the big names he has on this album but honestly this album is dated. This cat has got the itis right now and its dulling him seriously, but fans of Tuface will most likely love it.
