Why does Hip Hop love Scarface so much and yet The Godfather 1 and 2 gets overlooked

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

their attention spans aint shyt. godfather 1 and 2 isn't as trendy for them

 

[BigF]

Godfather 2 is my shyt.

The plot is complex though so I can see how action film junkies in their teens/twenties lack the patience to sit through it.

Sidenote, managed to find a double movie pack w/ Goodfellas & The Untouchables for 4 bucks at Wal-Mart. ... since other Mob movies were brought up

because Scarface is more "entertaining", shallow, and action movie.

The godfather is deeper, smarter, slower, artsy-iear, and just better overalll movie.

Hiphop don't care about good movies like that

 

[Walkman]

Theyre not better than goodfellas, but they're still great.

The Godfather 1 and 2 are much better movies than Goodfellas. Goodfellas is still great and all but the first two Godfathers are better.

Paid In Full > Godfather

Scarface was on some hustler type shyt which a lot of underdogs feel they could relate to. Godfather was on some boss shyt. But it was also about a lot of things. Family, Loyalty, etc.

But I know I know... 10 minute scenes of nikkas just talkin. God forbid. What no shootout?

Watch that first scene man. Vito lays it down. Boss shyt. Favor for a favor.

Scarface is a classic great fukking movie from the start to the finish. Godfather 1 and 2 are over rated and by far fukking boring I hate movies that take 2 hours for it to get interesting.

 

[DaRealness]

fukk The Godfather with that "they're animals anyway, let them lose their souls". Funny how the dude who said that look like he just got off the boat from Benin his damn self. Overrated movies, I didn't even bother with the third one.

Scarface is the better movie even though it's not the masterpiece everyone makes it out to be.

black ceaser and hell up in Harlem shyts on both especially when them fools comeup on that beach. ....u need that in your life brehs

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

Because Scarface lacked discipline, patience, and order.

Three things most street nikkas refuse to live by.

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.

Godfather 1 and 2 are two of my top 5 favorite movies ever

Scarface isn't even on the same planet as those films

However, as black people, it's faaaaaaaar easier to relate to a minority that came from the bottom and rose to being a big drug lord, than it is to relate to a bunch of Italians, that hate black people that were into Mafia shyt. We don't know nothing about that world.

 

[FreshAIG]

Top 5 mafia films imo

1) Casino
2) The Godfather 2
3) The Godfather
4) The Departed
5) Goodfellas
