"The sh*t that I be sayin ain't worse than your western movies" (c) Scarface

Scarface is one of my favorite rappers of all time. There are very few other rappers out there who can say that over 20 years they have kept it 100. Face is still making the records he was making 20 years ago. I grew up listening to Face's music. I discoved Brad Jordan back in 91 through the Geto Boys classic "My Minds Playing Tricks On Me." Face doesn't make happy music. All of his tracks are about the realities of all the shit that others rappers talk about with joy. I mean yeah the dope game can bring fast money, but it can also bring about many evils and Face tells those tales quite well. He writes tracks that a lot of these "Gangsta" rappers wish they could, but are too concerned with selling millions to do it. His new album "Made" has cracked my top 5 for the year because of it. "Girl You Know"... "Burn"... "Boy Meets Girl"... "The Suicide Note"... Scarface is Scarface... he isn't for everyone, but deserves the respect he's earn over the years.


Plus you have to love the only record label with the nerve to brag about the Feds not being able to bust them.
