Who started this sham?

Dude will shyt on the south none stop and always mention Scarface as one of their favorites.

But never talk about any of his projects, influence, underrated songs etc

Why Scarface in y’all top 5s with bigge, Pac and Nas and Wu tang but he never gets any praise for real?

:salute: for making an actual good thread

And yea great point...i see cats do this all the time outta some weird obligation. So they dont look like South haters....yall ruined hiphop b b but i do like Face tho

I gotta say Im one of the cats guilty of this shyt :snoop:

and I do love scarface but I'd be lying to yall if I said I listen more to him than say jay z, 50, dmx, snoop even tho I do rank him higher than them.

I guess nikkaz do it to be politically correct and not to shyt on the south, since most of us NY cats didnt really listen to the south until the 00s

:manny:

It's actually true, some people do do this I've noticed, which is a bit disrespectful as Face don't need it for that reason, he could get in to many's off merit because he has a fantastic body of work from The Geto Boys to all the solo projects, Face is probably somewhere in my top 10, if not definitely 15. From the south I've got K-Rino and Z-Ro on my list too. I like music from all regions so where the artist is from is irrelevant to me.

Scarface is legit in my top 5

and hes far above Jay on my list(who is also one of my faves) and Biggie(who is not even a fave of mine)
The Diary album is fukking art and has stood the test of time. I don’t knock anyone for not including him but I def do, the brother has a very strong catalogue
I think I said it here before. But Face is the only one out of the group of rappers people claim is GOAT level(Pac, Jay, him etc) that really has no bad album imo

I think he said he himself dont fukk with Balls and My word. But thats pretty decent lp. better than Nastradamus and Kingdom.

people do the same with Outkast. They shyt on the south but mention their love for Outkast. its like a rap version of some racist saying "but I got black friends to"

im a legit fan of these acts and other southern acts and never shytted on the south so...:yeshrug:

20 Years Ago, I had Face in my Top 10, like 7-8. So now he's in my Top 5. I think Face's praise is legitimate. He's someone that everyone seems to like music from, if not Geto Boyz, some solo material. It's when someone lists Pac/Jay/Nas/Big then 1 random, is when I question it.
