Sucks, because the Podcast was just kinda hitting its stride. Even though you could tell that them 2 are "Frenemies" but had a great rapport. Wonder what the $$$ was like.

IMO, Willie had a legit gripe, and being who he is, went about it the way he seemingly always does. Face can play the nonchalant angle, but more than likely, I doubt he even cared one way or the other. He just let it play out the way it did. But that's mostly been the case with this group.

NOW, Willie knows how the industry is. He knows that they've been calling the more popular/successful/visible member of the group as a soloist, to do/represent/perform group material for decades. That's just the way the game goes. Take it up with the establishment, because that's who the real culprit is.

True.

But Willie could have handled that a lot better.

nah. he tried to be diplomatic about it and Face started playing dumb and then saying well you right everything is my fault instead or really acknowledging Will's feelings. put yourself in Will shoes. no way you can do that and say he handled it wrong. I mentioned Cube/Ren earlier but the part you are not factoring is....Ren could say...damn I thought you was my boy Cube...but they not really seeing each other on a reg basis. these two guys doing a podcast and see each other weekly and still live in the same city. thats foul. De La, Wu, P.E. Outkast, none of them dudes probably see each other on a reg basis and even if they did it wouldnt excuse that shyt.

Willie a sensitive ass nikka. He should have been applauding his brother but instead he was in his feelings and fukked up the bag. If I was Face I wouldn't do business with this nikka ever again until he apologizes publicly.

when I say handle it better, I meant behind closed doors...THEN talk about it on the show.

I am not sure whats wrong with you guys but you are missing the point and Will said that most mf's that dont see it his way havent put any time or effort into anything significant and thats why they are yapping.

You can defend Face and say it was a mistake or misunderstanding but point blank, without Willie D there would be no Geto Boys as we know it. Not talking bout the original members.....the successful group contained Bill, Face, and Will. their most successful song was MPTOM. Face said they couldve asked him to do any of his solo songs. He also said if the billing said Geto Boys then thats fukked up.

Whoever was in charge was on some fukk shyt. Ask Face to do one of his songs and KIM. dont fukkin put MPTOM on the billing or run PERIOD if you arent going to invite the group members. This goes for group members who produced the song even but ESPECIALLY if a mf rapped on it. Whats so hard to comprehend about this.
EXACTLY. Folks just taking a side because tbh Willie d personality makes him very easy to dislike. :russ:

When you look at both careers and moves it's a clear case of Willie being on some "If HE can do it I KNOW I can" shyt.

He can't fathom why Face gets the love and accolades he does and it comes out in passive aggressive ways:pachaha:
Yup. He's a follower. There is always that one big nikka or nikka who can fight but that's all they got so they follow whatever their homie(s) do cuz they don't have a mind of their own. Thats willie.

I know a lot of y’all won’t keep it real because you love Scarface the artist. I love face too

If you put yourself in Willie d’s shoes you’d recognize that was a fake ass move. If someone is my friend that I was in a group with… the only other surviving member… I’m not gonna mention I’m doing a performance? That’s Fake. Flaw.

Didn’t TI record Scarface being fake regarding Lil Flip too? Seems to be a pattern fr.


Face told Willie he was doing something for the Grammys.

Hell no

Controversy is 100% a classic :ufdup:

Going Out Like A Soldier, Play Witcha Mama, Relentless are dope.

Loved By Few was his only meh album to me.
I bought going out like a soldier and controversy long time back . Will have to revisit them .growing up we played more of face and bushwicks solos over Willie's
