Thought this was a hate thread, but when I think about it. And Face is in my top 15 probably, he isn't the type of artists that is played at clubs or parties and shyt. Other than Guess who's back and Smile someone might've thrown on some face at chill after- or pre parties or chiefing nights in college. He's got a lot of tracks for that
Have you ever heard anyone playing Scarface IRL?

No one knows any of themI know Kilo Ali by name only
I expect that cause they didn’t really make any noise outside of Atlanta, but we show our artists so much love here that we listened to them more than national artists.
no
it’s one of those “you My Beginning Rap book nikkas who act like rap elitist don’t speak for every rap fan” threads
Let me settle this thread. There is a big difference between having club music or music to bump in your car and music that you play in the headphones or in a chill setting. Dem Franchise Boyz and Lil Jon get more play at clubs than Scarface and Common. Does that mean they are better or more popular? No.
Face makes music for the solo chilling or for your play only. Face is my favorite artist, but I pretty much only listen to him on the solo. When I have people over or am playing music at a party, I almost never play his music. He just doesn’t make music for groups of people unless you trying to chill.

I just heard a nikka playing Mary Jane outside the barbershop last year in Ohio. And he got play in Cali too back in the day. Hell he still got play on 93.5 KDay when I still lived out there like 10 years ago
But I’m surprised reading they weren’t playing him down in Atlanta though.

Cats get faded, high, then post random thoughts on hip hop boards basing rap opinions on everything they learned off wiki....
Mafukkaz ain't even from the south, or the states postin from a cave in siberia....
Uncles n daddies who grew up on RAP A LOT before No Limit, Slipn Slide, So So Def, Cash Money, Dungeon, Suave House, etc....
Oh, forgot...you muthafukkaz didn't start listening to rap until Wayne was grown.
Yeah, never heard a Scarface/Geto Boy cut outta lac, on the radio, or anybody playin they shyt outside my igloo

You keep listing names of people from both ATL and HTX that for the most part Scarface proceeded. So maybe you just didn't start listening to hip hop until you were like 20 years old. But you have also posted a bunch of exceptions and most of the people agreeing with you are deep in the red which means they generally have bad takes such as this thread. Just except you are wrong breh and go bump some Face and educate yourself.
Being 32, whether or not you heard Scarface is completely irrelevant. No offense.
"Mr. Scarface Is Back" came out when you were 3.
"The Diary" came out when you were 6.
"The Untouchable came out when you were 9.
etc etc etc.
So you were either a child or a tween for pretty much the entirety of his prime. Meaning, whether or not you heard it doesn't mean anything.
I guess you could say "well, nobody around me was playing it either"....meaning, older people. But a child wouldn't be around older people 24/7, to know what was going on.

I was gonna say this. I’m from Baltimore where we used to bump Face especially when the Fix dropped. But I know y’all DC area cats played him heavy. It seems like everybody I knew from the DC area loved Redman and Scarface

They did. I don't know what OP's experience has been, but I've heard Face get airplay from Frank Ski, Greg Street, Chris Luva Luva & Poon Daddy, and that's mainstream radio. The college stations played artists from all over, too. There were Houston folks who showed up for Freaknik playing their hometown stuff, and Texas students throughout the AUC that I personally knew.
I'm not even from here.

and what songs were they playing besides the ones I listed?
You can’t tell me DJs in Atlanta played him more than local acts. Atlanta radio is and was very heavy on the local dudes
I’ve been listening to rap since I was a toddler. I had Doug E Fresh and the Fat Boys on vinyl
during that time we were playing Crime Mob, Trap Squad, Lil Jon, Luda, Jeezy, TI, Gucci, Dipset, Wayne and Jay Z.
Y’all talking like I said I’ve never listened to Scarface in my life.
The point of this thread was saying he didn’t get played that much to where folks wanna act like you aren’t a rap fan if you aren’t a Scarface fan.
