"I was barely a B.G. in the game when this man got on the mic, and this is one of the brothers that inspired me to do what i do today... in my humble opinion, the greatest battle rapper ever... (K-Rino) is my O.G."... @ 10:30
Scarface on K-Rino's lyrical prowess:
DX: You gonna have Eminem put some verses to them beats?
Scarface: Hell nah! [Laughs] I’m not fin to go in there fukkin’ with that white boy, man. [Laughs]
DX: You’re not gonna make the
“Renegade”
mistake.
Scarface: Hell nah! What the fukk you mean, go in there fukkin’ with him, for what? [Laughs] But I guess that’s how I feel about –
I guess that’s how a lot of rappers feel about this kid from out here named K-Rino.
DX: I heard you biggin’ him up again on
Dopeman Music, on like one of the skits.
Scarface: Yeah like, you just don’t –
It’s two people in music that you just don’t fukk with, there are two people in Rap that I just don’t fukk with: I’m not fukkin’ with Eminem, and I’m not fukkin’ with K-Rino. I invited K-Rino to do a verse on my album because a lot of people don’t wanna fukk with him, ‘cause he’s a dangerous muthafukka… I think he really took it light on me too.
DX: That’s saying something, that’s a hell of an endorsement to say that he’s got you when it comes to the H-Town hierarchy.
Scarface: Man, that muthafukka is the truth.
DX: I don’t know why it never happened for him…
Scarface: I think that it had a lot to do with…the way he felt about being affiliated with a major, or an indie-major… I don’t think he wanted to be a part of that fukkin’ machine. He didn’t wanna be…on that ship, that slave ship.
