Classics Discussion: Scarface

[Inspect Her Deck]

The only one I'm unsure about is Mr. Scarface is Back

definitely made an impact and all but a little 50/50 on quality. I'm gonna listen to it again now.

Top 25 Albums | The Official Chris Rock Site



Basically said everything you typed here.

Damn. Me and Chris Rock connect.

"You cannot get to four without mentioning Scarface. " = best way of saying this ever

His taste tight too. Most famous ppl seem like they too busy to have good taste.

 

[Dirty D]

The Diary should be unanimous. I voted for Untouchable and The Fix as well.

Deeply Rooted will be added to this list down the line.

One of the best songs. Two top 10 rappers OAT murdering the track, especially the Don Mega!

Maybe my favourite Scarface track

Top 5 Face songs

1. Hand of the Dead Body
2. Born Killer
3. My Block
4. Comin' Agg
5. Mind Playin' Tricks '94

I like Mind Playin Tricks almost as much, if not equally as much, to the Geto Boys version.

I still think it gets recognition, considered one of the best albums of the decade.

On a side not, not hugely relevant, but I think it won the 2000s best Southern album voting tournament on this site, shows you that it is still held in high regard.

Not to mention tracks like My Block.

Also Face managed to get Nas and Jay on the same album

"Sellout" is my shyt.



Had a super boxing game, but now I'm peeling your cap
I done been in fist fights with nikkas twice my size
Got an incredible record, 27 and 5
And the 5 losses I got, I had to redeem 'em
So he had to fight me everytime I seen him
Ain't no p*ssy in me, I've been for real before this rap shyt
I study MCs, that's how I know you hoes is plastic
So-a, shake your ass and I'mma tell 'em the truth
Fabricate your bumps and bruises homey, do what you do
Just remember who for real when they tell you they real
I survived the game of life nikka, fukk some skills

 

[Travellin' Man]

my favorite rapper/mc of all time

the untouchable and diary are the 2 definitive to me. my favorite is the untouchable though. that shyt was unbelievable
many might not agree but i think made is a classic. i can listen to that shyt all the way through and never skip a song too

the world is yours and the fix were really great. emertius was a good album too. last of dying breed is underrated. face really ain't got a bad album though

all in all; top 3 classics = the untouchable, the diary, and mr. scarface is back

One of my favourite Scarface verses, 2nd verse off Born Killer

My momma did her part
But it ain't her fault that I was born without a heart
In other words I'm heartless, dude
I don't love me, how the fukk I'mma love you?
That's right, you guessed it
I'm legally insane, marked manic depressive
I'm taking all types of medication
To keep me out the mood of premeditating
Yo, the longer I'm alone it's worse
I'm having thoughts of killing me, but I'm killing you first
My psychiatrist talks but I don't listen
A victim of society fukked by the system
My whole life's been a see saw
I'm up one day, down and out on tomorrow
Right now I'm even more upset
Some shyt done happened to me that I don't think I'll ever forget
You think I'd let it die, but I ain't
It ain't because I want to, its because I can't
I'mma getcha but I ain't going into it
Cause ain't nothing to it but to do it
See it ain't no sweat to me
Cause in the first place, you fukked up the minute that you stepped to me
I'm not your average dealer
I'm a born killer



@Yehuda this is the sort of shyt you were alluding to regarding Chris Rock! What a great verse crafter Scarface was (is).

 

[R-Typ3]

Face don't make "bad" albums and the two nobody talks about are World Is Yours and Last Of A Dying Breed ...Face has said Breed was one of the hardest albums he ever did based on the feds tryin to get him to snitch on J but he wouldn't budge hence Look Me In My Eyes Conspiracy Theory and fukkin

 

[Yehuda]

His taste tight too. Most famous ppl seem like they too busy to have good taste.

Yeah I was glad to see he put Geto Boys' Resurrection in there. I feel like people sleep on that album.

What about the bank robbery on the last verse ...

I'm on my way to my old bank
They kno me real good so they don't think that I'd gank
Now getcha ass on the flo' And don't think about pushing that panic switch I'm gettin paid and you getting killed bytch
Everything was goin smoove till a security guard went an tried to pull a hoe move...
He reached for his pistol the 12 Gauge went BOOM you shouldnta blew that muthafukkin whistle
Hit 'im in his chest now which one a u muthafukkas in here wanna die next?!
Nobody made a move..So I got away smoove

Since he wrote his bio finally I still wanna see 'Face write a movie/novel some day

I love real lyricists like this. Like he paints a great picture of what's going on and he has such a way with words. Yeah that verse is awesome too. As I said above, the song is top 5 Face songs for me personally.
