Details Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

On ''Smartz,'' the ex-Geto Boy boasts he's going to show ''the side of society they don't see on TV,'' but The Untouchable turns out to be just another gangsta-rap movie-of-the-week. Over haunting soul grooves, Scarface drops routine tales of cash, ho's, and gats as well as a limp ode to pot. Even a Dr. Dre cameo — and one of 2Pac's final recorded performances — can't save the day.
