scarface (solo) - c/d s/d

nope. i love the self-titled geto boys and 'we can't be stopped', but i found 'the resurrection' to be a yawn-fest, so i kinda decided the geto boys went boring as they got older, so i didn't bother getting their new one. should i?

I'll second The Fix, thing is a masterpiece

xpost - I'm the opposite of oops. There's only one or two tracks I'd skip over.

He's kinda the Andrew MCarthy of hip hop. Andrew MCarthy - that WAS the other guy in Wham!, right?

Apparently he's working in ... i think real estate now? Something like that. But he's on the most recent geto boys album from earlier this year!

"World is yours" is worth having for the 5 or so good tracks, "the fix" is excellent but "the diary" is the one. Good god that album is amazing. It's all about "jesse james" and "i seen a man die".

Not a great album but that "balls and my word" cd with some unreleased tracks RAP-A-LOT put out to capitalize on the success/acclaim of "the fix" has one of Scarface's best ever songs on it in "dirty money".

Also search his verses on Kool G. Rap and Ice Cube's "two to the head" and "betrayal" by Gang Starr.

i like the verse on the freeway album, its fine, but every scarface cameo sounds the fucking same now. and he needs to stop saying daddy and get rid of the 'im so weary, me' shtick. zzzz. not looking hugely forward to the new album.

"if you don’t have Willie D in that motherfucker, your shit has no credibility whatsoever"

Willie D = ILX poll nitpicker

(quote from the interview)

been relistening to his early stuff lately... i never bought what came after the diary. are any of those albums worth getting? (untouchable, my homies, last of a dying breed etc)

ban

Scarface

On My Block.

Summertime party jam.

is The Untouchable underrated ????? soooo good

"Diary of a madman" off "mr. scarface..is back" is my shit.

"World is yours" is worth having for the 5 or so good tracks, "the fix" is excellent but "the diary" is the one. Good god that album is amazing. It's all about "jesse james" and "i seen a man die".

this doesn't matter 4 years later but i have no idea who luriqua is or what this means.

all i can remember about sterl clov on rap is him not getting nas and said something like, "it's just a guy talking in rhythm over a beat"!

if i still posted on ilm, i would have talked about emeritus. rap-a-lot, old houston heads like k-rino on it, z-ro hooks, greasy 2008 cool & dre beats and no name production side by side, willie hutch samples, a recycled papa reu hook.

3 legends in the studio. and dj khaled.

somehow khaled takes that combination and turns gold into lead

mike dean, who made his name doing shit for for a-g-2-a-ke and went on to ghostproduce "blame game" had nas and scarface and he took a recycled beat from a ganksta nip post-finding the lord christian joint and a myspace nelly furtado and made THIS

he thinks he's on the back end of it and god willing he is

You will see this man cry
If i see that man die

Get well Facemob

Rumors that his situation has worsened. Kidney failure... cmon man pull through please.

I keep seeing this on Twitter but haven't seen a single news source on it. Everything I find is from March, including reference to his kidneys failing.

Have you seen a news source? Hoping it's not true :(

after doing more digging this morning, I am 99% sure this is bogus. I've been asking people for sources all morning, and every source provided has been either someone else's tweet with zero sourcing, with pull quotes from the original articles that broke in late March, or Bun B's Instagram post from late March when Scarface was first hospitalized. still zero news organizations picking it up. while that doesn't mean much, usually on Twitter if there's developing news that is beating the media, there's a source, someone who claimed to have been there and seen it.

like for instance when Christina Grimmie died in a shooting, someone on Twitter broke the news of her passing before the news outlets, but they cited family's Facebook page.

so I'm really really hoping this is bogus, but i'm gonna be hella mad at the twitter rumor mill for getting me freaked out about it!

I think this news is what people are picking up on like it is new news: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/coronavirus-scarface-symptoms-covid-19-pneumonia-kidney-failure-interview-a9429421.html

but in the article he had already recovered and gone home.

Nah just rumblings so that’s good

good excuse to pull out Diary again regardless

Always

listening to “smile” right now

sorry for bumping thread

so there was truth to the rumors, but he's out of the hospital again. was really frustrating that Twitter was mumbling about it and anytime I asked for a source, people kept pointing me back to the articles from a month earlier that were written after he'd left the hospital after his first admission, and he went back in after that.

hope he can get off of dialysis soon. Willie D is taking care of him apparently:
