Scarface

Scarface spoke to VladTV years ago about his suicidal past, and the Houston legend continued the conversation again, as he told us that he no longer has those thoughts. Scarface added that he can see how he was so dark years ago, but he added that it’s much harder to live than it is to die. As the conversation continued the “No Problem” lyricist spoke about the lack of support he’s had from his family over the years when it comes to his music. Scarface revealed to us that his parents saw him perform for the first time in 2004, as he was twenty years into his career, and he added that his grandmother has never seen him perform.

We’ve spoken to Scarface about nearly every topic under the sun, but this time around the legendary emcee has decided to share his thoughts on politics and why he believes the n-word “is here forever.” If you were to ask Scarface how he used to feel about White people using the n-word back in the day, he’d tell you – like he told us – “back then it was cool, now I’m f***ing offended by it.” Scarface’s DJ is White, and like Chet Haze, he’d openly use the n-word in conversation with the Houston lyricist. “I don’t think that Black and White [people] should be split like that,” he explains. “I think that the blacks, the whites [and] the browns should all recognize what’s f***ed up, address it, and make a motherf**er pay.” Watch and listen as Scarface explains how the government should give back to the people in this insightful exclusive.

Scarface spoke exclusively to us at VladTV about Rick Rubin’s involvement with the Geto Boys while they were signed to Def American Recordings, and the Houston rapper knew Rick wasn’t feeling his rhymes. Speaking further on the situation, Scarface explained, “I know Rick Rubin ain’t like me as a rapper. He liked Bill and Will, at least that’s what [Jay Z] told me.” The “I Seen a Man Die” emcee also spoke about how he thinks he could’ve gotten the Geto Boys’ Grip It! On That Other Level to be on par with an NWA album had he worked on it a little more. When DJ Vlad points out that Scarface’s group didn’t have someone like Dr. Dre, the Houston emcee admits that Dre’s production is so impressive it pisses him off.

Legendary rapper Scarface “was pretty deep” in the street life when the Geto Boys came out with their debut album, 1988’s Making Trouble. In this exclusive clip, the Houston lyricist reflects back on the group’s early days, and thanks Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince for the guys’ success. “I give him 90% of the credit of all of the material that came out of the early Geto Boys s***, because that s** was his mind. I just rapped that s***,” Scarface tells us. The seasoned artist then goes on to talk about J. Prince’s dealings with Drake and Diddy. Scarface says he didn’t recognize the man that threatened Diddy after his altercation with Drizzy, summing it all up to J. Prince simply “getting old.”

Scarface has made it no secret that he’s a perfectionist when it comes to his music, and the Houston legend believes that “I Seen A Man Die” was his only perfect track. Scarface explained that while he loved being a part of the Geto Boys, he felt like all of his songs during his time with the group were “rushed.” During the conversation he also addressed rumors that he was going to do a new Geto Boys album, which Scarface said was officially off the table now. He explained that it had nothing to do with the Kickstarter campaign and the Southern emcee said it had more to do with him putting the focus back on himself. The second half of the interview Scarface shared his reaction to hearing The D.O.C.’s voice again, and the Houston spitter said that it brought tears to his eyes to hear the “It’s Funky Enough” emcee regain his voice. Check out more of what Scarface had to say in the interview above.

Exclusive in-depth interview with Scarface. In part 1 Facemob talks to Nick Huff Barili about: 1. Loosing weight and wanting to re-invent himself. “Scarface was beautiful. The time that I spent as that MC was great but now its time to burry that guy. This is the new me. And at the end of the day I hope you find a new you.” 2. Says Andre 3000 is Prince (Roger Nelson) of Hip Hop. “He is one of those kids that can do no wrong.” 3. Speaks on Hip Hop needing to grow. “I’ve addressed trying to be the big kid in the sandbox…I’m not going to do that. The kids going to do what the kids do…Turn the fuck up. But at some point you are going to have to turn down. And reality is going to have to strike. If I tell you I have done both, you have to believe me bro. I have started at the very bottom and went to the very top…and back and forth my whole life.” 4. Face gives advice: “I know to some of the youth, they don’t believe that tomorrow will get here, but just in case it decides to come, remember its only a day away. Be prepared for that day away.” 5. Opens up about his memoirs and about how he career consumed him: “I sucked as a grandson, a son, a husband, a father, a uncle, a homeboy or whatever I could have been to somebody. Because

After hearing of Kanye’s plans to run for president in 2020, Scarface told VladTV, “Me knowing Kanye like I know Kanye, Kanye will say any motherf***ing thing.” The Houston emcee added that “He’ll do it,” before dropping an explosive bombshell about Kanye originally planning to feature him on “Jesus Walks.” When asked why things didn’t work out, Scarface explained that he believes that he got tied up at the time, which is something that Jay Z always teases him about when they see each other. The “On My Block” rapper also told us that he was afraid of his own success at the time after seeing what it did to others around him. During the conversation Scarface also spoke about having freedom in his hometown of Houston, but being mobbed in other cities, which you can hear more about in the above clip.
