because scarface is visceral gangsterism, raw and uncut street shyt about a dirty cuban nikka from the bottom who made it to the top through savage force. there was no subtlety to tony montana. godfather and its sequel, godfather 2, are classic movies that showed the life of a gangster from a more nuanced and artful perspective. the corleone story was a thoughtful meditation on the mob that was interspersed with intense but well placed instances of violence.

godfather ii = one of the goat films.

scarface is about a wack henpecked coke head who was to scared to hit a button.
if you in the life,..
scarface, the character is a fukk'n fukk up lame.
him and manolo are some goofies.

go on a buy op, and cause a scene outside talking to chick's breh.
go on a buy op, and not check some toothless cokehead cluck laying on a pillow, breh.
go on a drill, and don't hit the button, breh...

everything, tony, and manolo do in that movie is bullshyt fukkup lame status.
or windup whacked, at the least.
or comeback with excuses fukk up face ass boi shyt, on some real shyt.

nikkas in Hip Hop quote Scarface left and right and yet overlooked the two movies worthy of all the hype that Scarface gets in Hip Hop. The Godfather 1 and 2 has quotes, lessons, and so many layers to study for days that it makes Scarface look like a parody. I get why a lot of people like Scarface but that movie realy was shytty. The Godfather is worthy of all the hype and appreciation Scardace gets. I'm shocked more heads don't see the knowledge, lessons and "rules to the game" by way of The Godfather 1 and 2.

I love Goodfellas, I like Carlito's Way but The Godfather 1 and 2 is where it's at. It's the foundation for all of that mafia movie shyt.
White boy/bytch nikka post, Godfather gets way more hype and appreciation than any movie ever yet deserves none of it.

cause compared to Scarface the Godfather is boring as shyt with its pace, and Scarface is a colorful, easy-to-understand, action-packed rise from the bottom to the top n/h
Thread shoulda been closed after this post

The Godfather shyt is reserved and understated. It has violence but it's secondary.

Scarface? It was in your face, heavy on the gratuitous violence. Dope quotable one liners, miami high life, fast cars, fast money, nikkas using guns the size of texas. shyts was just over the top. It was like sensory overload lol And i cant forget to mention all coke they was doing. I damn near got high just watching that shyt.
Thats the way life in drug cartels are tho it ain't a bunch of lames sittin around talkin all the time they out doin all that shyt in Scarface, look at them Mexican cartels cuttin off heads on tape and shyt muhfukkas literally ran up in a nightclub one time and rolled a bunch of severed heads onto the floor.

None of this is true...Nothing in Godfather 1 or 2 is boring
:comeon:Everythin in those movies is borin, too much talkin not enough killin.

shyt is ill-paced, and just stupid...one of the most overrated movies of all time...
Scarface is definitely one of the most overrated movies ever made though.
Scareface one of the most overrated movies in history
:beli:Definition of irony is for Godfather dikkriders to call another movie one of the most overrated movies in history, when it comes to THE most overrated movie of all time Godfather hands down holds the top spot pick either one and the other movie gets the second spot.

Godfather stans act like the shyt is the greatest creation in the history of western civilization and whine like little bytches and throw hissy fits if anyone says anythin bad about them wack movies as if they're fukkin perfect, by default that makes it overrated and the fact those people are the majority of society cements its place as by far the most overrated movies ever made.

Ill-paced just stupid most overrated describes Godfather to a T.:scusthov:

Scorsese and Tarantino are both immature filmakers who make macho "gangster" films for teenage boys. Like I said it's not reality. It's a music video, where everyone always has something funny to say and their is always some white guy putting others in their "place".
:why:Tarantino makes movies for real men (nevermind that Godfather is the embodiment of phony Italian macho "I'm the man/women can't know whats goin on and have to stay out of our business" shyt) Pulp Fiction da goat organized crime movie and Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs are top 5, it is reality crime syndicates are even more violent than most movies portray. And all bosses/dons do is put people in their place, like thats actually what bein the top dog of a gang is all about givin out orders and threatenin/killin people if they get out of line.

Listen to tapes of the feds wiretap of John Gotti he was constantly sayin smart shyt to people etherin the fukk outta them, hear the first hand accounts of former mobsters in interviews of guys bytchin up or a boss askin a question then puttin his hand on the back of a grown man's head and shakin it up and down like a puppet answerin yes.

Godfather is for punk ass fakkits that think the Italian mafia is so cool and badass who grew up idolizin those mobsters and want to live vicariously through some characters in a movie, the reason why these cornball losers love the first 2 movies so much is cause they feel like they get to be in the mob meetin and experience all the back room convos/politickin that goes on. Its for nerds that rather focus on the "strategy" of situations than the execution, and since Godfather 3 was different (not as borin) they naturally hate it.

I mean they ran those first 2 movies over and over again for 16-18 years and brainwashed themselves so much into believin its godlike legacy that the third one was gonna disappoint no matter how good it really was, and of course there's the sheep that just go along wit whatever's popular so they call 1 and 2 goat and 3 horrible even if they ain't seen nan one of them. What's funny tho is 3 actually >>> 1/2.

AKA real nikka shyt

godfather and its sequel, godfather 2, are classic movies that showed the life of a gangster from a more nuanced and artful perspective. the corleone story was a thoughtful meditation on the mob that was interspersed with intense but well placed instances of violence.
AKA pretentious bullshyt that artsy fags eat up, lord knows in cinema a movie can't be a "masterpiece" if there ain't alot of talkin, people standin around starin at each other, "tense/powerful" scenes, "deep" reactions to events and "emotional" outbursts.

not reading all that shyt but I saw something about godfather stans. All I gotta say is that Godfather and Scarface are both overrated imo. Scarface is a cool ass movie in some respects, but that's not a movie I honestly ever plan on sitting down and watching from start to finish ever again. The movie itself just isn't that great, but the character of Tony Montana, some of the sets, the scenes, the soundtrack, those are classic, memorable things, but the movie itself :patrice: nah i'm not watching that shyt ever again unless I'm showing my son the movie or something one day

And as far as godfather, shyt is boring as hell to me :heh:

Reminds me of when I forced myself to sit through Apocalypse Now and I realized it just wasn't that great so I turned it off halfway through

I came into this thread hoping to prove you wrong and list numerous Godfather related rap quotes.

So far all I could think of was:

'I'm like Luca Brasi; Vito's best hit man' - Nas

SCARFACE IS A FANTASTICAL STORY ABOUT A YOUNG MAN, WHO COULD BE FROM ANY ETHNIC BACKGROUND, ANY TIME, AND ANY PLACE, GROWING UP IN POVERTY BUT BECOMING WEALTHY BY HIS OWN HUSTLE, BROTHER! GODFATHER IS A SEMI-HISTORICAL SUMMATION OF THE ACTIONS OF THE SECRETIVE SICILIAN CULT, LA COSA NOSTRA, IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE 20TH CENTURY, DUDE! I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO DISRESPECT TOWARDS CUBANS OR HISPANIC PEOPLE IN GENERAL, BUT I THINK SCARFACE COULD BE ANY OF US, MEAN GENE! MICHAEL CORLEONE WAS REQUIRED TO BE PRIVILEGED AND ITALIAN, JACK! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY HE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE MAFIA'S POWER, TOUGH GUY! SCARFACE MADE IT ON HIS OWN, WITH JUST HIS ONE HOMEBOY AT HIS SIDE, BROTHER! THIS IS A MORE TOUCHING STORY, DUDE!

WE COULD ALSO CONTRAST THE ATTITUDES THESE CHARACTERS HAVE TOWARDS THE CONCEPT OF PRINCIPLES, MEAN GENE! IN THE BEGINNING, MICHAEL CORLEONE IS A WELL-DISCIPLINED WAR VETERAN WHO COMMITS A CRIME ONLY TO SAVE HIS FATHER, BROTHER! OVER TIME, HE BECOMES INCREASINGLY CORRUPTED TO THE POINT WHERE HE WILL DO ANYTHING JUST TO MAINTAIN HIS POSITION OF POWER, DUDE! HIS EXCUSE IS THAT HE'S PROTECTING HIS FAMILY, BUT HIS HARD-ON-HOES AND HAND-TO-THE-FACE TREATMENT OF HIS WIFE DEMONSTRATES THAT HE'S REALLY ONLY INTERESTED IN KEEPING HIS MOUTH UNDER THE FAUCET OF THAT ADDICTIVE ELIXIR WE CALL POWER, HULKAMANIACS!

TONY MONTANA REFUSED, EVEN AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS EXCESS, ADDICTION, AND POWER, TO BLOW UP THOSE CHILDREN IN THAT CAR, BROTHER! HE STUCK TO HIS PRINCIPLES RATHER THAN MAINTAIN HIS POSITION, DUDE! MICHAEL WAS JUST LIKE SOSA, MEAN GENE! WILLING TO DO ANYTHING, BUT SO COWARDLY AS TO HIRE THE WHEELCHAIR GUY FROM BREAKING BAD TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK, BROTHER!

THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE NEW WORLD ORDER HAD TO GO TO THE MATTRESSES, WRESTLING FANS! BUT TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, IN THOSE TIMES, I WASN'T LOOKING TO MICHAEL CORLEONE FOR INSPIRATION, BROTHER! I WAS BEGGING TO BE GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT OF TONY MONTANA, BROTHER! AND I HOPE YOU WILL DO THE SAME, BREHS!

I don't understand how anyone could find godfather boring. These nikkas must have watched the long drawn out opening to godfather 1 and said ":wtf: is this shyt? Thought this was a mob movie."

:heh: nikkas turned it off after the first ten minutes and missed the crack that was the next two hours.
