Yall wanna know what made Face face such a dope artist waaaaay back in the late 80's till now? How that nikka CONVINCED you on wax that there may be somethin wrong with him.....You listenin to Diary Of A Mad Man while readin the insterst on the fold out and theres this picture of that nikka

Real spit, go and listen to Grip It, Mr. Scarface Is Back, We Can't Be Stopped, The Diary, Till Death....Not only did that nikka tell you how he was gonna kill yo ass in his verses he would explain WHY!

WHY he sold dope
WHY he was gonna murder ya ass
WHY he was was gonna murder himself
AND WHY/WHO you or him might meet in the afterlife? God the the Devil?

And he conveyed these lyrics over funk laced HARD hittin Rap A Lot production samplin everything from James Brown to BB King to muthafukkin Sly and the Fam Stone, yeah, everybody was doing it back then but EVERY region had a signature sound back then, in house production and you KNEW them shyts the moment you heard the drums kick.

And one more thing about Face/GB, even though that nikka was crazy, sold dope, did a real convincing job he may have killed a couple of muthafukkaz he still was ridin for the struggle and his people and goin in on the police Got cosigns from and shout outs from Chuck D/PE , Ice T, collab songs with Cube, Pac, Etc....

Where do some of yall nikkaz live? What country yall from? Crooked Officer (GB) was HUGE on the radio in Cali....Mind Playin Tricks(GB), we played Hand Of The Dead Body, Mr. Scarface Is Back, Seen A Man Die, Minute To Pray, Smile, Let Me Roll, fukk Faces......

If you listened to rap, was into hip hop back then, old enough to remember or was around older cats, in them streets, aint no muthafukkin way you was you WASN'T fukkin with or knowin about the Geto Boys/Scarface. MAYBE if you was from the east coast late 80's, but if you was from the south, midwest, west coast, you knew about them dudes. These muthafukkaz put southern rap on the map.

"Most nikkaz give props to Run D MC but them nigaaz in the south gotta give em to me"

Man you remember how KMEL was playin Mr. Scarface Is Back fro like weeks? Everybody kept callin in asking, requesting that shyt?? Bruh, we took the bus to muthafukkin hilltop mall right after school let out to try and buy that tape. Thats when Musicland was goin hard on lil muthafukkaz under 17 tryna buy those tapes with the parental advisory sticker on em. My cousin had a full beard at 14. I watched this "old" ass nikka buy DJ Quik's album right in front of me while they told me I was too young

But yeah, KMEL played that shyt on the regular, it got crazy requests, hit the muthafukkin record store first day it dropped, saw that album cover like Listened to the uncensored version finally and was like

I've never heard a Z-Ro album. My guess would be no.
