Scarface recently vented about his frustrations with record label executives and Hip Hop. In an interview with Hardknock TV, Face shared his displeasure by speaking on how he feels race and racism affect the music that is released by record companies.
“I feel like we losing it,” Face said in the clip. “I feel like the people that are in control of what Hip Hop does is so fucking White and so fucking Jewish and so they don’t give a fuck about what the culture and the craft really is about.”
Scarface paused at this point and said he wanted to clarify.
“Let me say this shit right because I want this to be as offensive as I can fuckin’ make it for these old-ass punks that’s running these record labels that’s in the powerful positions to dictate what the Black community hears and listens to. I fucking hate that shit. That shit pisses me off,” he added.
“There’s no fucking way that you can tell me that it’s not a conspiracy against the Blacks in Hip Hop. You put out fucking records that make us look stupid. You make us look dumb. You brainwash a generation of Hip Hoppers with this fucking crud and then when these other rappers come out, splitting it down the middle, these other rappers’ shit sound like ‘Wow!’ Y’all look great!’ ‘Y’all look stupid!’ … Then mothafuckers start going over here and pretty soon, Hip Hop is White now.”
More from this interview, including Scarface’s praise for Kendrick Lamar, can be seen below.
Scarface has been rapping as a solo artist and group member with Geto Boys since the early 1990s. Scarface has also been in charge of Def Jam South in the past. Less than a year ago, Scarface spoke with HipHopDX’s current Editor-in-Chief Justin Hunte regarding his take on the new generation of emcees and Hip Hop. Speaking of this, he said, “I think that anything goes in Hip Hop these days. I blame everybody who came before right now, including myself, for the conditions of what it is. I think the people that came before me taught me and if I couldn’t reach nobody else, then I didn’t do my job. I should’ve been a little better about the way that I laid my blueprint down. So I have nobody to blame but myself for the conditions of Hip Hop today.”

This coming from a rapper named after a movie about a cuban drugdealer played by a white guy written by a jewish person.
This coming from a guy who made a rap group called geto boys, perpetuating the derogatory black experience, has a mixtape called dopeman music, songs called homies and thugs, fuck face and born killer – on his greatest hits album.
Hypocrisy sucks, huh?
A white dude he’s not talking about us taking the derogatory stuff whites came up with and using it in ways where its not as powerful in the ways you use it like you just said thug thats a matter of opinion but HOMIES has no ill meaning asshole..well maybe in whitey mind it is. are you serious? just kill yourself im sure another white motherfucker will take your place
You are a complete dweeb, who has completely missed the point of this article.
his point is white and jewish people in hip hop has forced black artists to make shit that makes black culture look bad and backwards. The irony is he himself is perpetuating that cycle.
Wayne and Birdman trying to kidnap Beyonce was the reason she had her miscarriage.
Everything you say is bullshit lies.
im white and I agree and it pisses me off. fuckin bullshit
As an accountant for YMCMB i regularly get balls in my face. In fact, it’s actually a tax write off to have this many balls in my face at the same time. All revenue made from young money goes directly to buying more dildo’s for me to shove in my asshole, because i’m a bitch ass hoe who lies on the internet.
Yes you are an accountant for YMCMB and are airing the Cos dirty lundry out on the internet in the face of privacy laws that will hang you by your nuts careerwise for breaking them. If you truly were who you claimed you would be smarter than this period.
LMAO… I retract, I honestly did not read the whole thing and just thought you was talking about being forced to make decisions for the company that would follow what Scarface has said. My apologies and well played lol
I agree with him about the wack music that’s being put out, but the race card is getting old, man. I can’t stand the whole “What the black community should like” bullshit. Music is music and I don’t like how people keep trying to hold hip-hop back. Get over the 90s era and let the music evolve..
Evolving is fine. Forgetting where you came from is not. Like it or not hip hop is BLACK music. If evolution means robbing us of the only bit of culture you haven’t already taken, I for one am not with it.
Man, that type of closed minded attitude is what’s fucking up the culture. Music has no color! It’s all about self expression and telling your own story.
yeah but HIP HOP was exactly created so that poor people who lived in the ghetto could have freedom of speech. So that they could teach to the black community, THEIR history. Not the WHITE MAN history. The government is already a white supremacist shit,so school teach white supremacist shit. And Hip Hop was the only way, REAL EMCEE’S could preach the truth about BLACK HISTORY; that was destroyed by WHITE SUPREMACIST SHIT. HIP HOP was the only thing those people had to feel good about their life, because white people were not helping them trying to get out of the ghetto. Now that they had created something to get out of the ghetto, the white people wanna control it . like bruh
like “BLACK” said – Evolving is fine. Forgetting where you came from is not. Like it or not hip hop is BLACK music. If evolution means robbing us of the only bit of culture you haven’t already taken, I for one am not with it.
you are not black, so for you Hip Hop is just music. And if you are black, you should know that Hip Hop is an culture that was created to promote BLACK HISTORY to BLACK COMMUNITIES !
@Dental Boy…You Lame As Fuck
I don’t know about all of that face.I think the legends that can help Hip hop don’t/Playboy
hes a legend
Evolving is fine, selling out and forgetting where you came from is not……
who cares about race
im just waiting for the nas and scarface album
Is he pissed off because the most successful rapper on the single charts right now is Macklemore?
mainstream hip hop is whack
go underground
i didnt even know who macklemore was
this has nothing to do with macklemore
macklemore isnt making black people look bad, apart from not being able to move records like him independently
I work as a doctor in Cash Money Headquarters. One day, Birdman told me he talked to Macklemore. Orignally, Thrift Shop was going to be called, Gun shop and talks about impressing people with guns. Birdman then told him that killing people might lead to controversity so Macklemore changed it to Thrift Shop that fits more closely with YMCMB guidelines even though Macklemore’s not part of YMCMB yet (although Macklemore is in talks to be with Cash Money.)
Dentaldam’s new alias lmao
Everything you say is bullshit.
This was done to rock music, blues, and jazz. Drake is the first step in this re-branding of Hip Hop music. Culture robbing at it’s finest.
this is what happens when you become old and irrelevant. You get angry, vent, and start to blame the Jews. GTFOH.
Hip-Hop doesn’t belong to a single person or race sorry to break it to you, HIP-HOP IS EVERYONES and to say your solely to “blame” just shows lack of understanding for what Hip-Hop truly is. In all honesty Hip-Hop has transcended color barriers and I think it can only help TRUE Hip-Hop because to say it only belongs to blacks is to say guys like Eminem, RA the Rugged Man, and many more aren’t MC’s and that they shouldn’t be where they are when in all actuality they spit 1000000000000000000000000 times better than most black rappers and have earned their spot.
next time get all of the info before you run your mouth because Scarface said he should have done more and is to blame too
Rappers today can’t even come out of character long enough to tell good stories like this.
I been saying this for years. They are out to make our race look like complete morons and for some reason the young people are completely blind to that fact. Lil Wayne and Kanye blantantly wear womens clothing, a certified ex cop is portrayed as the biggest mafioso in history, Nicki goes around wearing clown outfits and making insane faces, Trinidad James existance, Futures existance, etc. I could go on. Peoiple need to wake up. How do we not see what is sitting right in front of our damn faces!!!
Co-sign.
lol, its amazing how you blame this on the jews…considering trinidad james was independent when he created his character and theme, and says it out loud he doesn’t wear that nonsense at home, its called entertainment, go look at any entertainer, from hendrix, to KISS, its all done for shock value, and to entice more viewers, its about grabbing attention and marketing. You blaming jewish white old people is giving them more credit than they even deserve. claiming that these people were unable to make themselves marketable on their own without the help of a white guy, leaves you looking foolish.
@glevel
Oh I’m sorry, I missed the part in my original comment where I blamed this on Jews and white people. Please show me in my comment where I did this. Thanks. I will wait for you to find it.
@glevel
get MODED!
Funny, I’m white and I dislike new school hip hop.
Scarface is wrong, it’s not white people’s fault. This generation is just simple dumb. Every genre of music became low-quality and stupid. Nas said Hip Hop Is Dead, but the fact is that Music Is Dead.
only people that feel hip hop is for everybody is white people that now started listening to this shit i hate white people they take everything from black people and get rich off us
You, however, are an ignorant asshole… you paint every last one of us with the same brush. Let me tell you something… I pay for all my records. I still buy CDs and why? To support the artists. I can think of 2 white artists I listen too and support in the industry… Eminem and Kno from the Cunninlynguists. How much shit you steal off the net while I am helping to pay the artists you are saying I am stealing from huh? While I agree there is an issue this sentiment from you is racist dribble.
In the historical context, Scarface is correct. Now we need to invent something new so that years later, it gets inflitrated just like jazz, rock & roll, and now hip hop….commericalism is a leech…..’KEEP IT IN THE HOOD’ and distribute yourself….it that had happened, there would be no inner city ghettos anymore….Even today, black folks cant stick together.
That’s real talk from a veteran in the game. However, if we point fingers, we have to blame the cornballs that are making the wack music as well. Can’t just put blame on the distributors. Where is the music coming from?
I agreed with what he was saying up until the point the he blamed Jewish people…
White boy here… agree with him completely. Seems the lables are pushing guys like Yelawolf and Macklemore who in fairness are decent emcees yet on the otherside you see morons like Wayne and Kanyes ego making hip hop look silly. You find a lot less of that shit underground yet that shit remains underground. I know Scarface is not the type to comment on colour if shit was 100% legit in the mainstream but any clown can see that he is not wrong.
Well Macklemore is independent…and Yelawolf barely got any push from Shady at all. Those are bad examples, and I don’t think white rappers are what Face is referring to. It’s the 50-something white dudes that run shit that have no clue about rap other than it makes money.
Ya, there is no edit function… thought about Macklemore after I hit submit. Kids everywhere these days so it is easy to forget he is independant. Yela on the other hand may not have got the push but it it the White boys upstairs that own the distribution lable he is on.
There’s definitely a conspiracy going on here to destroy hip-hop by the government. Drake is the softest lamest “rapper” ever who is surrounded by white people and yet real street dudes like Gucci Mane are getting locked up and prevented from releasing music — something fishy is definitely going on.
As for as I can tell, you become a “real street dude” by committing crimes, so the fact that “real street dudes” are getting locked up just kinda seems like justice, not a conspiracy
Let’s face it. ALL white people have caused every major problem in the history of the world. There is not a good white person on this planet. Not even one. Every last person whoever was white, is white, or will be white is a culture-stealing, money-hoarding, discriminative, prejudiced, slave-keeping, racist scumbag not fit to eat the dirt they walk on. Scarface telling it like it is, not!
Fuck you and scarface is wrong , there is a conspiracy to destroy hip hop but not to make it white , i like scarface but i can’t agree with this , i’m white and i love hip hop
I guess I suck at sarcasm, sorry for giving you the wrong idea, but while we’re at fuck you too haha
HAHA BRAM SAID “…HE SUCKS AT SARCASM”?? HAHAHA BRAMS AN IDIOT!
The other anonymous dude acted like I was serious, what am I missing here?
Label execs are scum, I’ll agree with that, but nobody is forcing the Waka Flaka Flames of the world to look silly on t.v. for a few dollars. Every man controls his own actions. Sleezy label execs will profit off of it, but it’s not like they’re the ones creating it the shitty music.
Execs will always attempt to profit off the latest trend. That will never stop. The problem is that now the latest trend is making horrible music that makes you look like a f’n fool.
That’s some bitter old man shit for real. Scarface always did come off as an asshole, though.
Even if white executives are making black hip hop look bad, black hip hop still looks and sounds considerably better than white hip hop, that’s for damn sure.
Don’t say YMCMB., because they some Oreos
I didn’t say YMCMB, but yeah man they don’t count as black hip hop
Too bad Macklemore is an INDEPENDENT ARTIST…First Indie to EVER perform at the MTV Awards. He’s been grinding for over a decade. Labels are scum but y’all do your research.
word too many crackas in hip hop
Scarface has an excellent point here: I bet at this very moment, somewhere in a closed room in the Illuminati offices, a group of white Jewish billionaires are sitting around smoking cigars, discussing how they can make Lil’ Wayne, Kanye, etc look foolish:
“Yeaah, great idea Warren! We’ll make him wear a skirt on stage…”
“Yes!…and then we’ll spend countless hours making sure the masses embrace white rappers like Macklemore and Eminem. Forget about the fact we are the most powerful people in the world and can be doing 99,9999 other more important things right now. First things first, let’s make sure all black rappers look foolish mwhahaha!”
And if you believe that’s how it goes down, then I have a bridge I could sell you in Brooklyn…
By the way, who is Scarface?
You were doing well until you didn’t know who scarface is, shit man hes a fucking legend
NyBur…i agree! we do it to ourselves and then blame everybody else when we run it into the ground! our music is so debased and violent. we celebrate “real thugs”…that do real murder and commit real crimes and smoke weed all day and pop mollys and other ridiculous things! then we wonder why white people arent buying our music! we rap about riches we dont have and having sex with ur wife! we post videos on youtube of us fighting and beating up other rappers. we make songs about “hitting it first” and “pop that pussy” and we watch our community fall apart right before our eyes (Chicago) we see young black men murder so viciously, and no one rapping about it(except lupe)! Blacks have been the minority nothing about that has changed. we have always depended on whites to sell records in masses. Now we wanna cry cuz weve turned them off with our bullshit and its the execs fault?!! SMH @ MY PEOPLE!!!!!
I know who Scarface is…that was purely sarcastic
I’m white and I agree 100 percent with scarface. The only white rapper I coudl ever listen to and think wasnt corny was Eminem. Now its just out of hand. Remember when SNL did the skit for “I’m on a boat?” Thats when it all started, a song that was fake and was made as a joke with a white rapper got plays at every bar and shit. I couldnt believe it. It proved to me that music was dead and people had no tastes.
Hip Hop turned white when Eminem was signed and put out his first album…
Why you making it seem like EM ruined rap. He just push the envelope and raised the bar, That dude is a legend. He raps are better than 85% of the crap i hear today (T. James, 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Wiz, the list ca go on). If you ask me Em kept it real cause now niggas dying their hair blonde, wearing skirts, having ice cream cones tatted on their face.
and MAcklemore is a bum and I am not disagreeing with face on this but all rappers are soft nowadays what happened to the industry beefs? These new “rapper” are all horrible compared to the vets
He just said its so fucking jewish because some of the execs are jewish. The reality is, the ceos are just pushing whatever they think will sell. The new formula is to sign guys that have a big youtube following so you dont have to do the marketing yourself. It sucks..blacks and jews marched together during the civil rights movement, and they have always been connected.
Out of curiosty, what are white people allowed to listen to? If hip-hop, rock n roll, blues, and jazz are all black and pop music is mainstream garbage?
Racist AND uninformed quite the combo Mr. Face. What do you expect from someone who would name themselves after a fictional character who was most attracted to his sister, had his wife wanting to fuck her dead old ex-husband more than him, and who became a cokehead and had his empire crumble as soon as he tasted the good life after years of being poor. Scarface is no type of role model, he was the definition of failure from start to finish.
Ya but he was so gangsta!
Definition of failure said by the anonymous poster . How fucking ironic
Folk music, like Mumford and Sons and shit, and you can keep that haha
Several blacks who were big enough to help the genre when it started to fall off just chose to turn their backs. P. Diddy was so fuckin big he couldve helped keep hip hop alive, but instead he completely sold out and went to R and B with his whole team.
Hip Hop is not only white now, it’s gay.
I agree with Scarface but black people have to take some of the blame. Everybody wants to be “official” and people care more about the logo on the back of the record instead of the record itself. Instead of putting down every artist who isn’t down with the majors as “struggle rappers” and blindly following whatever trend corporate radio and websites shove down our throats, we have to support our independent artists and demand that MCs show a little skill and taste before we accept them as superstars.
Dudes like Drake and Trinidad James don’t care about the hood or our collective struggle, they are merely actors playing a role in a corporate movie. The whole idea that they made it on their own by putting their music out on the web is a lie perpetuated by the corporate media. Don’t fall for the scam, support our real artists and remember that real cats get better with age. We need our young cats but we also need the wisdom and skill of legends like Scarface. He’s not bitter or “old” he’s just someone who knows the score. Respect him.
well said cash. much respect.
as if we dont live in a multi cultural world
@Assasin221 Fuuckin 13 year old troll sittin behind his keys kowin nothin about geto Boys and Mr scarface!!!
Just lost all respect for Scarface. Such ignorant, and stupid comments from him
Like he gives a fuck what you think . You are white no doubt
Actually I’m hispanic. You are a fucking moron shut the fuck up
Why is it a ignorant statement then you have no clue what you are talking about
hip-hop been white for years
Damn it I meant to put that here. Let’s try it again. Folk music, like Mumford and Sons and shit, and you can keep that haha
Dude you missed again get it together
Hip hop is white, scarface is fat.
And your mom likes to have a nut in her face
Mr Scareface telling it like it is… Real talk.
I agree, when i started 2 actually hear Hip Hop seriously back in 2002, i used 2 like all that ignorant shit they were starting 2 put on. then, i bumped into 2Pac, Wu-Tang & Nas (2 name a few) all my music playlist changed completly.
Mad Respect to Scarface!
for the black assholes who think white fucked the game up…i got one advice for yall…GO BUY AND SUPPORT UR ARTIST(underground or mainstream) and stop bitching
fuck off racist cunt
way to go ‘Face…constructive & self Criticism, we need more of the OG’s to follow suit & hopefully organize themselves into a movement to make some changes occur
Exactly fuck this dumb minstrel bullshit
“Hip Hop Is Ja Rule Now”
haha why can’t these dudes leave race outta this shit…it absolutely blows my mind that somebody could one minute complain about how racist white america is, then the next minute say some shit like this! Lost a lotta respect for ya Scarface. It’s incredibly sad to me that the older heads can’t see how generalized saying things like this
You pretty summed it up
Shut the fuck up wigger
Huh?
Sounds like someone’s having record label troubles.
hiphop is white? lmfaoo the fuck this fat fuck talkin bout\
trap edm is kinda white yes, but thats because of the combination of electronic music and rap….but hiphop in general is still ”black”, regarding his own words
scarface is just mad he aint selling shit anymore so he says stupid ignant shit like this
^^^^DUMB IDIOT^^^
Hiphop has a huge white audience. Even a decade ago, over 75% of hiphop albums were brought by white people. And that’s not far-fetched considering white people are the majority of the population here. Black people are most affected by it due to radio and television.
Black people the dumbest race on earth .
Only black people would dance to music were the so called artist is blatantly saying i can fuck your girl/wife etc .
Only black people would aspire/lust after clothes designed by homosexual white European fashion designers , even though they have said they would prefer certain black people did not wear their clothes .
Only black people think it is cool to dance to music that disrespects women who look like your sisters/mothers
only black people are to blind/ignorant to not be able to see that they are being manipulated again .
I.E certain hip hop record labels are large investors/share holders in private prison complexes ..Do the maths the more of you in prison the higher the stocks/shares rises .
And finally only black people would let their culture be raped and manipulated the way it has been .
Agree with this.
watch your mouth. You are talking about the original people of the Earth. The originators of civilization, of math and sciences, architecture, medicine, written language, astrology, and the list goes on.
Black people ruled the Earth for thousands of years and built the pyramids before the European had even made a shoe.
As far as blacks in America, we have been European-ized and have adopted your mentally of agression and sexual perversion…a fish out of water and placed in a foreign hostile environment. Europeans continue to control all economic resources and political power, as a result of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, which the Jews dominated.
Our culture erased and replaced with a culture of murder, exploitation, and capitalism.
We are awakening now….thanks for the concern.
You Europeans are out of cosmic order…and the order will be restored soon. You are loosing your power all around the planet. Holdfast my son….
We sold out our culture for a fast buck and never looked back. But it’s not that there’s too many white people involved, it’s that we’re rushing too quick to sell to them white kids in the suburbs instead of the places we’re from.
This watered down mainstream shit is gonna be the death of hip hop and when it comes down to it, we’re to blame.
Ok scarface, if this is true… Then why is the biggest idiot in Hip Hop Black and independent? LIL B
SHUT THE FUCK UP
So we’re going to pretend like he didn’t say a few days ago that he would only do another Geto Boys album if Rick Rubin produces it.
that has nothing to do with this. rick rubin is more hip-hop than most of these niggas putting out music today
Eminem,Alchemist,Vinnie Paz,Yelawolf,Ill Bill,R.A. the Rugged Man ,Apathy,Nino Bless,Classified,Mad Child,Necro,Brother Ali and Marco Polo are a few of whites who are still keeping hiphop alive…while black retards like Wacka Flocka and Gucci sell more then them and are fuckin the culture up
Waka Floka, Trinidad James etc are just puppets for the record labels numb nuts
he was talking about the old white dudes in suits running the labels not white rappers
That’s right! wtf is 2 chainz or trinidad? wtf is lil wayne? wtf is kanye? acting like fashion fag and keep saying he’s genius? Scarface has no guts to say who’s keeping it real. white fellas really do their thang and instead showing some respect, you blame the white. I used to listen to Scarface but now F*CK HIM!
^^^^white guys acting precious and taken it out of context again
“Eminem,Alchemist,Vinnie Paz,Yelawolf,Ill Bill,R.A. the Rugged Man ,Apathy,Nino Bless,Classified,Mad Child,Necro,Brother Ali and Marco Polo are a few of whites who are still keeping hiphop alive”
Oh yea? What have they made us aware of? How are they helping African peoples? What are they doing for the black community?
Are they fueling hip hop with black intellectualism? Are they teaching true world history? Are they liberating, mentally and physically, African peoples? Are they fighting white supremacy?
Just like the Greeks, Persians, Assyrians, Romans, Hyksos, and Arabs “helped” to keep Ancient Egypt (Kemet) alive huh? And today they teach that Egypt was white. The same will happen to hip hop.
Rappers are the one’s writing the songs, and making the videos. Don’t blame the labels for that. They may tell them who they want to market too and how, but at the end of the day, it’s the artist’s responsibility to be his own person. And the funny thing is The Geto Boys were as foul mouthed and derogatory as they come.
Stupid boy you do not understand economics . Record labels tell rappers what to write .
The videos are financed by the record labels which is part of the marketing budget that comes out of the artists final paycheck .
Black people acting like clowns is what sells and what the record labels predominantly tell the radio stations to play
That’s not wot he meant at all dipshit.
Wot Scar is sayin’ is that the label is in control of what songs reach the album. You do know that right, these mothafuckas can simply say I wont market this record with this song on it. He is right.
All label exces want to sell is their own image of what they want people to see hip hop as. And it is sad.
And I am nor Black nor white.
So I’ll tell you this, dont get at him for saying, he’s wrong for saying hip hop is white, because the truth is ip hop is a subtext of african american culture and if it doesnt represent that than it is irrelevent now.
It’s sad really!
“Rappers are the one’s writing the songs, and making the videos”
False. There are many ghost-writers now….and actually music video directors make the videos…most of whom are “outside” of hip hop culture and place satanic symbolism in them.
“it’s the artist’s responsibility to be his own person”
Yes….and “conscious” music or “afro-centric” themes will simply not be pushed and promoted by white/jew-ish dominated retail/distribution channels. The only rappers who are able to maintain any type of integrity are those who are independent.
actually record labels have huge control and say of what goes into albums..which is why albums get pushed back until artists make songs they feel will be a hit. This is why rappers mixtapes sound so different from albums. they also provide music video directors for artists. record labels have all the say
I hate seeing shit like “they don’t care about the struggle or the hood”. Not all black people are poor or from a broken home or the hood…so you can shut up with that. I swear black people always end up holding each other back…quick to call someone who acts differently a sell out. Hip-hop can be for anyone, no matter where you come from.
“Not all black people are poor or from a broken home or the hood”
Black people control less than 0.005% of the wealth in this country. What world are you living in?
“Hip-hop can be for anyone, no matter where you come from.”
We are talking about CONTROL of hip hop. Not it’s listener base. It needs to OWNED and CONTROLLED by African peoples, not contributing to white/jew-ish executives’ kids college funds.
stfu weak ass chump
Love scarface but this couldnt be farther from the truth. Fact is all other races get slept on BUT black people. You dont think there are more latin rappers out there? Whens the last time one blew up? Whats the ratio? Commercially what white rappers are blowing up? Theres alot of dope rappers but they are under the thumb of “underground” because of the color of their skin. GTFO.
What the fuck are you rambling on about . He said the culture of hip hop is being manipulated to make one race of people look like dumb idiots .
Scarface stated a lot of facts. You just missed the point of what he was saying. It’s bigger about who’s the best rapper and who’s blowing up.. he’s saying that hiphop is being used a weapon to destroy the minds of people of color. And that is true.
Agree with Scarface on this one, if only because Macklemore has proven that new white MCs can still be taken seriously.
Let’s be honest here: Macklemore is undeniably a talented rapper with an equally skilled producer, but his songs are so pop in their nature that he’s turning hip-hop into something for five-year olds. Prospective Kanye’s, Jay-Z’s, Nas’s, Rakim’s and Biggie’s who have dope, raw beats and brilliant flows, narratives and styles are going to be put off becoming serious rappers as every record label will now want rappers for hipsters and pre-teens who “like, don’t listen to hip-hop because it’s all about guns and violence” and listen to Macklemore because he “you know, makes catchy songs and raps about cool things”. You’re missing the point of what hip hop is supposed to be: most rappers, if you think about it, aren’t that violent or misogynist anyway, and they’re not forcing you to shoot police officers or take drugs – it’s all part of the lifestyle they want to represent. The fact that Macklemore lets people presume he’s fully independent when he isn’t (look it up) shows how keen he is to milk this new, dangerous fanbase who have joined hip hop and want to shape it in their own way because they have the income that the labels crave.
People like Common, Talib Kweli and Mos Def, as well as the above, have also had something worthwhile to say, but at least their songs are hip-hop orientated. This is the difference between them and Macklemore: again, he makes reasonable music but the fact that people appreciate it in a genuine hip hop, not pop (as it should be, I’m afraid) means that the little kids are going to expect hip hop to be as pop as possible. Even Eminem’s songs at least retain a hip hop context and structure (perhaps less so nowadays) so it’s not a white rapper problem in general, but Macklemore is unwittingly watering down rap to the point that it won’t be distinguishable from pop radio junk in two years time.
Oh, and I’m white myself, and I know what I want rap music to sound like.
You lost for saying Kanye had a raw flow lol dude was always a great producer with shitty rhymes, he’s like Pete Rock with a better budget and your talking about he has raw rhymes LMAO Kanye lyrics are garbage
I didn’t specifically say Kanye’s flow was raw – the qualities I listed applied variously to any of them. You’re right, his flow is probably the weakest of the people I listed.
^^^^ lolz at you stupid bollocks ^^^
Its all good man I agree with the rest of your post but Kanye is a part of the problem not the solution. Dude is a generic rapper that use to be a great producer. Now he’s just an overall shitty artist period with a mediocre label of pop rappers & would rather pose for the paparazzi then make a listenable song.
Waiting for all the white fans and white wanna be rappers to discredit Scarface because he is telling the truth. History will make a mockery of this fukkery generation of rap.
Who else do you think supports these wack corny motherfuckers out today
White people shooting down scarface because he stated the fucking obvious . Hip Hop is run by 50/60 yr old white men .
The agenda is not about the musical integrity it is about the stocks and shares .
A large majority of the hip hop music out makes Black people look like dumb buffoons .
What part of what he said is untrue
You trying to tell me Chief Keef, Wacka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, Lil B, and Tyga make their shit music because 50 year old white people make them make it? I don’t think so. If they didn’t WANT to make the music they wouldn’t.
Im wit u brother them white coons being all defensive coz they cant handle the truth
Thank you Scarface.
SCARFACE HAS TO LOOK HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR. HE DID SIGN A COUPLE GIMMICKY ARTIST TO DEF JAM SOUTH. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS YOU GOT TO BLAME THE RUSSELL SIMMONS AND THE LA REIDS FOR SELLING OUT THEIR LABELS TO INVESTORS IN THE MID 90’S. FROM THERE, EVERYONE STARTING SIGNING AND PROMOTING CRAPPY ARTISTS TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE TO BLAME THE RADIO STATIONS FOR PLAYING CRAP MUSIC JUST TO AVOID ISSUES WITH THEIR IN HOUSE MUSIC DIRECTORS. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING HIP HOP BACK TO THE ESSENCE IS TO PLAY ON REAL HIP HOP AND SUPPORT REAL ARTIST LIKE TALIB, KENDRICK LAMAR, LECREA, NAS, FACE, CURRENCY, THE ROOTS, ECT ECT. BIRDMAN WILLIAMS IS PRACTICALLY THE ONLY GUY OUT THAT IS FIGHTING THE MAINSTREAM TO SAVE THE CULTURE.
Are you killing me? Birdman IS part of the mainstream, he’s not fighting it.
So what he saying is.. That the illuminati is using hip hop to destroy “the minds of people of color”? That not true at all he needs to chill, relax,. Ain’t nobody taking advantage of hiphop at all or in general. The devil is out to play with him, he trying to say my people is destroying his culture! NO! Sir, No We not!
MY NAME IS YESSIR AND I’M A DICKAHOLIC.
I LOVE YOU 2
welcome to dickaholics anonymous yessir, everyone in young money is apart of it because we are groupie ass faggots.
Said it before will say it again
Black people the dumbest race on earth .
Only black people would dance to music were the so called artist is blatantly saying i can fuck your girl/wife etc .
Only black people would aspire/lust after clothes designed by homosexual white European fashion designers , even though they have said they would prefer certain black people did not wear their clothes .
Only black people think it is cool to dance to music that disrespects women who look like your sisters/mothers
only black people are to blind/ignorant to not be able to see that they are being manipulated again .
I.E certain hip hop record labels are large investors/share holders in private prison complexes ..Do the maths the more of you in prison the higher the stocks/shares rises .
And finally only black people would let their culture be raped and manipulated the way it has been .
Sweet jesus dude no wonder we have a race relations problem shut up before you hurt yourself
1000 % co-sign
Sounds like Scarface has a hard time facing reality about his own people. How you think these retard rappers blow up anyway??? They start out on their own, sell alot of shit Indy and then a major comes along and buys into it. Gucci Mane didnt just get created by Warner Bros or whoever the hell he’s signed to, he was out there selling shit on his own and made enough noise that the majors played along with it. Go to any hood in America, and they aint playing Talib Kweli records, they playing Chief Keef.
Trust Me, If white rappers acting like buffoons sold records they would pump that out just as much. They tried it with Yelawolf & Machine Gun Kelly, you think white folks are proud of them inbred idiots?? only difference is white people didnt show up to support it the way black folks supports Lil Waynes Coon ass.
Take it up with your own people bruh, tell them to raise there standards
All those words and your argument is redundant .
The majors are looking for a certain kind of artist that will sell in the white suburbs the largest buying segment .
They also want an artist that dumb black people will ignorantly aspire to be as to give the artist/rapper that so called hood authenticity .
Your statement that only black folks support lil wayne and white people would not support Yelawolf etc because of the lyrical content is wrong again .
Have you actually seen the racial demographics at a lil wayne concert i think not
^^^^ Alot of white kids stopped listening to rap altogether, which is why raps sales are getting smaller every year while other genres like Pop Country and Rock aint having trouble. Honestly, where I live in Tampa Florida only people I know who listen to Wayne are either black or every once in a while spanish. You catch the random white kid here and there who fucks with it but not as often in previous generations.
Most black people don’t spend money buying music hence the reason we have all these dumb minstrels playing up to the stereotypes ..
Scarface is my favorite rapper, has been since I heard “Seen A Man Die” when I was 13. But anybody who follows him knows he’s an admitted manic depressive who refuses medication. This aint the first time he opened his mouth and something stupid came out of it, lol, its part of what makes him a great artist, dude lives in his own fantasy world sometimes. Like he really walks around the ghetto and pretends he doesnt hear all those people his own color supporting coon music and loving it, no no no, its the white mans fault…… Everytime I pull up at a redlight it seems theres a car full of black kids playing a chief Keef or Trinidad james song, so how you gonna get mad at a company for giving those people what they want.
And these are big words coming from a guy who calls himself “Scarface”. You took your stage name from one of the most ridiculous over the top Cuban parodies in history. That character is to Latinos what Chief Keef is to Blacks, a disgusting and unfair stereotype.
“You put out fucking records that make us look stupid” Whats his ole’ ass talkin about lol? Nobody is makin these retards record music, they doin it on they own andputtin it out. If niggas are dumb than they dumb. You cant blame others for that shit
I just wish Tupac was still here…
90% of the rappers we know today wouldn’t be relevant and neither would this race issue…
and he didn’t say ANYTHING about white rappers.
Alright, let me start out by saying I enjoy Scarface’s work.
I understand what Face is trying to say, and agree with about half of it. I don’t agree with how he worded it. If he has a problem with white people in hip hop, he’s a racist. Straight up.
Now, being white myself, I hate the fact that the industry is run by schmucks that know nothing about the craft, and are only looking for an opportunity to turn a profit.
White that being said, Face needs to take a long look in the mirror, and instead of COMPLAINING like a little bitch, he should possibly invest some money into HIMSELF and take a business class or two.
If you don’t like something, you have two options:
1) Complain about it forever or
2) Do something about it yourself
Hopefully someone reads this and thinks it over, because the problem in the music biz isn’t “WHITE PEOPLE”, it’s sellouts, which come in all shapes and colors!
-Scott
“because the problem in the music biz isn’t “WHITE PEOPLE”, it’s sellouts, which come in all shapes and colors”
The sellout would not exist if not for a system of WHITE SUPREMACY AND WHITE CONTROL….think about it. The very terminology you use disguises the very heart of the issue.
He is talking about WHITE/JEW-ISH CONTROL….domination. A business-class will not solve 3000 years of European agression towards Blacks and European domination of the world’s resources. If so….tell me what couse that is and I will take that class ASAP!
It’s called Common Sense 101, pal.
It’s also known as a hunger and drive to succeed, without believing the people that say “you can’t do it”.
Coincidentally, this same theory applies to everything in life, not just becoming a rapper or an athlete.
Or, you can just sit around and complain about it. Obviously you’ve done well in THAT class. Keep on humming the beat and mumbling the words, guy.
-Scott
white, black, latino, or asain, BS hip-hop is BS hip-hop….
Save the CULTURE.
Why are so many people whinging and complaining about what he said it doesn’t effect you as you are white . Stop being so fucking precious …HIP HOP IS RUN BY OLD WHITE GUYS PUSHING AN AGENDA THAT DOES NOT BENEFIT BLACK PEOPLE IN ANY WAY EXCEPT TO MAKE US LOOK LIKE DUMB CLOWNS AND WALKING DICKS WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT CLOTHES,CARS,AND SHOOTING PEOPLE WHO LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME .. End of rant
you can blame the white man all you want but these white records execs are just pushing what sells. they wouldn’t put out rappers like 2 chainz or trinidad james if mother fuckers weren’t buying that shit and selling out their shows. simple as that. everything can’t always be the white mans fault – how come you don’t see every other minority group in America constantly bitching about the white man holding them back?
O stop with that race card bullshit . No one is saying it’s all the white mans fault . Read the article properly his point is hip hop is being run by 60 plus white guys who are interested in pursuing a certain agenda .Dumb Ass trying to divide and conquer
It is the record companies fault (black or white) because they cram garbage down your throat until you finally swallow it. They don’t even the playing field by exposing listeners to Hip Hop in it’s many different forms and messages. Social commentary use to have a place in mainstream Hip Hop. Turn on the radio now and you get none of that.
I am white and completely agree, Scarface is on point with this
And if dude has such a problem with white people why did he pull out a guitar at Paid Dues and play a fuckin Pink Floyd cover? Fuck outta here Face and you’re one of my favorite rapperse of all time. But you sounding real fucking ignorant.
You’re right. He must have been hungry/cranky. Someone get that fatboy a sandwich before he gets his period.
Stop skimming over what he said PRINCESS
Niggas always go out race in every damn thing. Hip hop ain’t just for blacks to swag their pants and rock on THA mic, whites, Latinos, Asians, can all rock together. Why he so mad tho? Cause them white rappers like Mac miller, MGK, macklemore, EMINEM, getting that bread while he sit up and eat McDonalds all day while being a bitch on hip hop sites and interviews. Man give me a break! I’m from Oakland “the Bay” we work hard out her to get where we gotta go, we don’t let any niggas stand in our way. I’m all bout my paper ain’t no nigga knocking me off my fucking throne down here in Oakland.
this nigga is a legend hoe. shut yo mouth and listen.
If you have a throne in the bay then the bay done lost it
Vannesa nasty you sound like such a DICK HEAD get a grip numb nuts
This guy has been losing his marbles for a minute, hes too lazy 2 tour, and is mad he cant sell millions of cd’s…
You’re right. When all else fails….complain about it! Right?
Both of you are fucking idiots. Face is right.
Well, he’s obviously heated. Maybe he got turned down recently by some label with a white-jewish man at the helm. It would probably piss me off too if Riff-Raff was more popular than me when I’ve been in the game for 20 plus years.
Why blame the record executives for putting out “crud” and “shit that makes us look stupid?” They’re not the ones chugging cough syrup and acting a fool. They just follow the money.
Well Face. The reason why hiphop sucks nowadays is because of your buddies in the south. Since No Limit and Cash Money came up hiphop became the joke of the entertainment industry.
Also you are a joke you took your name from a movie! And do you really care about black people in the hood? You call your sisters bitches and brothers niggas. So what the fuck you talking about???????? Rappers have giving hiphop a badname themselfs.
Are you also shitting on white fans? These white niggas bought your albums and made you rich! Now you see how arogant rappers are.
^^^^You mean Arrogant illiterate dumb ass ^^^^
Hey, spelling nazi! Missing ONE letter while typing, doesn’t make you “illiterate”. It fucking happens. By the way…you forgot a coma and a period, dumbass!
FUCK OFF PEASANT
No Limit and Cash Money are classic black owned companies that used to put out music that people listened because they identified to. white people from the outside looking in loved it too. which is record labels hijack the sounds and manipulate it so everyone listens to it so it can make revenue for them. they dont care about lyrics or any of that shit. just the image and if its catchy enough that itll make millions. all people care about is money and not the product. and you dont care cause youll buy anything
I am now giving back all my Scarface and Geto Boys CDs, because i changed my mind. And i hate Football, because the best Coaches and Quarterbacks are white too! Come on now….
Good for you now fuck off
WHAT PEOPLE DONT REALIZE IS THAT THIS TYPE OF SHIT EVENTUALLY HAPPENS TO EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC. RIGHT NOW ITS HIPH HOPS TURN TO BECOME COMMMERCIAL AND ITS ALWAYS BEEN HALF GIMMICKY. EVERYONE LISTENS TO ELECTRONIC SHIT NOW AND DUB STEP SHIT, IN A COUPLE YEARS ALL THOSE FANS WILL BE BITCHING ABOUT THE SAME SHIT WE ARE. RECORD EXECS ARENT CONCERNED WITH COLOR, SOCIETY IS. THOSE DUDES JUST FOLLOW WHERE THE MONEY IS. BACK IN THE 80s LONG HAIRED WHITE MALE ROCKERS IN CHICK OUTFITS IS WHAT SOLD RECORDS, NOW ITS SING SONGY DANCY BLACK FOLK IN HOMO DESIGNER WEAR, NEXT WILL BE TRANSEXUAL K-POP
Nick you a wild boy,,,,,lol
I FEEL WHAT HES SAYING ABOUT RAPPERS THAT MAKE US LOOK DUMB BUT HE IS THE SAME MOTHERFUCKER THAT SIGNED LUDACRIS TO DEF JAM & LUDA IS 1 DUMB MOTHERFUCKER!
black music for black people
BUT YOU WILL ALL YELL RACIST IF WHITES DONT ALLOW A BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST
darius rucker is the only black country artist and he runs shit. if youre white and a rapper its because you earned the clout. you cant tell me that theyre arent a million other darius ruckers in the world bitch
He sounds bitter as fuck. He’s mad cause he aint moving units or getting gold or platinum plaques. And he cant say black shit cause KENDRICK is making an impact in the game and hes black. Old has been ass nigga
Shut the fuck up for the lies you said.
What this sloppy ass nigga need to do is duck for cover! Cause I’m finna drop this EP soon! Niggas gonna start to bow down (beyonce voice) I drop two mixtapes so far “don’t bite just taste” and “doing numbers” you feel me? I’m gonna drop this EP on this rap game like its nothing. I’m gonna get my respect! Niggas ain’t ready for my EP I’m telling ya
rappers been saying the same thing since inception. in 20 years. another rapper will be saying the same thing.
I laugh at the fact that people say EM ruined rap. He just push the envelope and raised the bar, That dude is a legend. He raps are better than 85% of the crap i hear today (T. James, 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Wiz, Waka, the list caN go on). If you ask me Em kept it real cause now niggas dying their hair blonde, wearing skirts, having ice cream cones tatted on their face.
LOL who the fuck is this? Scarface? enough said
nextttt get this old head outta here with his race card. YAWNNNNNNNN
Im a white kid from the suburbs, its not a race thing, its called making music, you like it? Cool. You dont? STFU and dont listen. NEXT
shut up BOY
Hip hop belongs to old white guys
Black people the dumbest race on earth .
Only black people would dance to music were the so called artist is blatantly saying i can fuck your girl/wife etc .
Only black people would aspire/lust after clothes designed by homosexual white European fashion designers , even though they have said they would prefer certain black people did not wear their clothes .
Only black people think it is cool to dance to music that disrespects women who look like your sisters/mothers
only black people are to blind/ignorant to not be able to see that they are being manipulated again .
I.E certain hip hop record labels are large investors/share holders in private prison complexes ..Do the maths the more of you in prison the higher the stocks/shares rises .
And finally only black people would let their culture be raped and manipulated the way it has been .
AWESOME, someone preaching, I’m really exci….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
Go and drown yourself FISH you wont be missed
true that
Why you making it seem like EM ruined rap. He just push the envelope and raised the bar, That dude is a legend. He raps are better than 85% of the crap i hear today (T. James, 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Wiz, the list ca go on). If you ask me Em kept it real cause now niggas dying their hair blonde, wearing skirts, having ice cream cones tatted on their face..
plz, make that 95%
scareface is 100 percent on point here if you dislike this i dislike you and somthin else im a mma fighter if you disagree with scareface ill fight you over it in a cage if u want. and btw im white this aint offensive at all its the truth
but Scarface, Lil B is independent….
Lil B is the best rapper though.
who gives a fuck about skin color that’s that black racism but it’s okay for them to say it because they’re black.. nah that’s bullshit. who cares what color skin a good MC is, just listen to the fucking music and forget about race for once..
well he’s right
Face is not talking about white rappers hes talking about White Suits. The white suits thats running these labels thats fuckin up hip-hop with this coonery shit, paying radio stations to pay this bullshit.
too bad this article is not posted on a site that has more intelligent people to make for comments discussions, but yeah I think unfortunately the black community has a long way to go before we/they are the head honchos. Basically, it’s just too much negativity, hate and ignorance within the black community itself. Im black btw so I’ve seen it all my life
Yes, cause us morons are on the loose running the comments. Buddy, this isn’t a State of the Union discussion forum. There’s no room for that here… not wanted on this platform. Adios.
It’s 2013….. If you still care about skin color or race in hip hop… YOU are a racist. Yes, black people can be racist too. Hip hop isn’t just a black thing so get off your racial high horse asshole..
I got respect for scarface as an artist but don’t get on that blacks are superior to whites in hip hop it’s all da crackers ruining type bullshit. I could name PLENTYYYYYYYYYY horrible wack black rappers that done hurt hip hop..
That comment is brilliant
I see ur point but what scarface is trying to say, I think, is that the head white people of the record labels are pushing and playing these corny whack records made by these whack new artist, which at the end of the day, is making the hip hop culture look bad. Yeah u can argue the fact that people buys into the music but if thats all they’re hearing on the radio especially if you’re younger and growing up, then thats basically all what you may think music is
He who goes by I hate everyone, hang yourself, spineless little boy.
“Yes, black people can be racist too.”
No they cant. Racism is economic….not social.
“Hip hop isn’t just a black thing so get off your racial high horse asshole..”
Umm….yea it is. We let others participate….but it’s def a black thing.
What envelope did ElMvis pushed again? fuck out of here.
Were in a day and age where theres so much different hip hop being made if you don’t want to listen to something, then you don’t have to.. It’s not a racial thing, so stop making it one. You can talk shit about whites and jews, but if I drop the N word then all hell breaks lose?
Scarface, were in 2013, this ain’t the 80’s and 90’s anymore. Things done changed. Get over it. Stop saying racist shit and causing more division amongst communities
Nah man, we in the early to mid 90’s.
It did not change for the better, and all ya’ll are sheeple for rolling with that shit. You don’t have to get the 80’s and 90’s back but damn at least improve on it because it hasn’t not in skills, not in sales, plus you brought the fashions back so why take the shitty parts of those eras and not the good ones because I don’t see ya’ll with jordans, hairstyles, or anything that says 2013 except technology.
I agree with what I think Face is actually trying to say. If white people wanna listen to hip hop that’s cool, thats fine, thats great. If white people wanna make hip hop music thats fine thats cool thats great. But its the old executives, almost exclusively white, who know nothing about hip hop but still control it strictly for the money that are a serious problem. They could very well be trying to make blacks look dumb thru hip hop, not too sure about that I don’t think that’s 100% their fault but they play a huge part and thats a problem. Let black people control hip hop!!! They created it let them have it!!! Its awesome if white people still listen and even make some music, just relinquish actual control of the business to those who deserve it.
Scarface, I am a fan. And you are a racist.
The white owners of record labels (you overlook that people liek Jay Z, P Diddy and Dr Dre have run record labels for years) promote music BECAUSE it sells, they have no power to make people like it.
Basically, you’re washed up and you’re angry that anything u ever release again will probably go double wood at best, so you revert to the ghetto mentality of ‘I’m fucked up because of the white man.’
You’re an idiot, fuck you.
Its the harsh truth. Jay-z, diddy, dre, and master p all crank out hip hop classics and are black owned. what have they done to water down hip hop. only thing theyve done is try to keep up with the trends these wack labels help send.
i’m sure he means labels bigger than aftermath, roc nation and bad boy, we’re talking about Universal, WMG, Emi and Sony BMG
Black people cannot be racist. Its impossible. Racism is a team sport, GROUP phenomenon by which one group dominates, exploits, or excludes against another for the control of power and resources. It is economic, not social.
Therefore blacks cannot be racist because as a group we do not own anything hardly at all, we do not have enough resources nor the means to deprive any other group of anything at all.
“The white owners of record labels (you overlook that people liek Jay Z, P Diddy and Dr Dre have run record labels for years) promote music BECAUSE it sells, they have no power to make people like it.”
Jay-Z, Diddy, and Dre OWN NO DISTRIBUTION CHAINS.
White record execs are SELLING TO WHITES, appealing to stereo-typical ignorance of whites toward blacks, much like how slave narratives were a huge market for whites during slavery and most slaves never saw a penny off of them. I would say that probably 90% of hip hop consumption is non-white…so its non-blacks SELLING to non-blacks….at the expense of blacks.
Why is wealth broken into racial groups though??? There are rich black people and poor white people. There are black CEOs churning out bullshit music as much as anyone else.
The point I was making is that ‘the race card’, as its known, is a cop out. A lot of lazy, unsuccessful black people blame a ficticious ‘white man’ for their own short comings, totally overlooking all the successful black people in the world.
If you’re fucked up and unsuccessful, blame yourself. If you keep believing conspiracy theories, you’re never goin to self improve.
As for what the above mentioned record labels have done to damage the culture,
Aftermath – Tony Yayo, Stat Quo
Roc Nation/ Roc A Fella – Wale, Memphis Bleek
Bad Boy – Pretty much everything except Biggie
I also didnt even mention YMCMB which is a black run label that is almost single handedly destroying the genre. And with the exception of Pusha T, GOOD Music is running it into the ground as well.
Soo he’s saying if there are only black record CEO’s, then the music would be good?
No, it’d be the same. The same bullshit would be getting pushed out. Blacks aren’t somehow better than everyone with the golden gift of good taste in hip hop, when you’re in that position as a record CEO, shit changes, you don’t care about the real MC’s having cyfers on the block kickin real shit.. IT DOESN’T SELL, and then that brings us back to where we are..
Acting as if all CEO’s being black would be some better alternative is racist as fuck.
It’s not the whites fault, or the jews, or the blacks, you cant shell blame on 1 race or skin color or religion for the state of hip hop.. Cmon now..
Thank god some people with sense still exist! Shout out to you, man.
it doesn’t matter if you have a black CEO or a white one behind a label, the main thing is still making money
Not black CEO’s LOL….Black OWNERSHIP.
If Hip Hop was black-owned…it would put a BILLION DOLLAR PER YEAR INDUSTRY DIRECTLY INTO THE HANDS OF AFRICAN PEOPLES….
the music would therefore not cater to white ignorance and materialism, but would act as an accelerator for the building of an actual BLACK COMMUNITY. BLACK INTELLECTUALISM would soon be the tune of the day, and the condition for Blacks in America would surely change….
Dope dealers would no longer be revered…black teachers would be.
Hotep.
hell no, black people are as selfish as white people, they do not donate more than white people to charity or community
Scarface was on Insane Clown Posse’s new album…TWICE. I get was he’s trying to say, but regular people don’t want to hear music with too much information. They just want something to play with a catchy little hook and the newest sounds while they “bump” in their cars or in the club. So of course these guys in flashy clothes with no real message are going to sell records, no matter what color they are. Only real heads want to hear real hip-hop.
Very sad, very true….
Scarface is absolutely right with this. it used to be about street lyricism and artists wildin out with their talent on dope beats. Most importantly at least some type of lyricism but now its just labels taking them and forming them to cater to a white suburban party music audience. this is all we hear.. even “rnb” have weak singing voices promoting drugs and sex.
the man speaks the truth. mainstream hip hop is pretty much white peoples music now. just go to any hip hop concert or showcase
White? Dumb racist hood rat
yall are blaming the music on the people you see but check the people you don’t see cause they’re dictating everything
I would like to thank my friends within the record industry for helping to push the ignorant tom coonery rap played on 99.9% of the radio .
With your help we have seen a four fold increase in our prison population and with you’re continued support we will most surly fill our prisons with more ignorant black folk .
And you my trusted friend know what that means rising stock prices for our dear investors .
Please keep up the good work and if i can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to reach out .
Yours Kindly,
Guvnor Connor
The CEOs have always been the same, even when good hip-hop was being pushed. Who gives a fuck about major record labels anymore? It’s all about the independent grind now.
The mainstream rappers just suck. Its not a race thing. if you make it racist then you just lack intelligence and are pathetic. Make better music
ye
black and jewish doesn’t go together, real jewish people don’t count black people who’s religion is jewish, as jewish
jews are brown/white
“To begin with, there are plenty of black Jewish people, which completely invalidates everything he said he said right there.”
Tell me…..what percentage of modern Israel is comprised of Black Jews?
“There’s this false belief that black people can’t be racist”
Black people cannot be racist. Its impossible. Racism is a team sport, GROUP phenomenon by which one group dominates, exploits, or excludes against another for the control of power and resources. It is economic, not social.
Therefore blacks cannot be racist because as a group we do not own anything hardly at all, we do not have enough resources nor the means to deprive any other group of anything at all.
Lets be intelligent.
I’ve been listening to scarface since I was 18 years old, I’m 28 now. he’s always been a racist piece of shit, but i respect his rapping
Wow. Well said.
Y’all can talk that shit all you want but I don’t see no white rappers saying fight the power,,,,,or white executives,,,,,fighting for a black cause,,, it’s the blatant disregards for our struggles,as African Americans,and the fuckery of the messages in the music,,,,hip-hop is part edu-tainment and if every recording is some dumb,in the mass media,,,then what the fuck, you get a generation of fuck boys that don’t represent hip hop. Correctly,,,,,hip-hop,,,is love,,peace,,unity,,knowledge of self,,,,and having a good time,,,,,,,,,you lil dumb muthafuckers,,,,,,,,,
WTF do you mean the blatant disregard for our struggles? There are tons of black rappers that disregard our struggles! Face reality
Face…. you just did a track with Vinnie Paz not long ago, lol, and i have to say, it was one of the worst tracks on the album.. Besides that, there’s plenty of talent with different races in hip hop, and i get what you’re saying with the people running the record labels now a days.. they’re obviously only concered about the dollars coming in, as any business is, but society is brainwashed and love their bullshit music due to lack of intelligence.. Open your eyes people, and find the music worth listening to!!
Justin Timberlake king of R&B atm
Eminem king of hip hop
#fact
No there not stop lying to yourself…they wish and you wish you were so divine as US… Yall wish yall had our grace..the truth hurts.
Scarface is keeping it 100 and alot of you people in the comments are just plain stupid, or white and offended by the fact that he chose to say “white”. The label heads, who are obviously SMARTER than the consumer understand the psychological effects of music, IMAGE and marketing. The fact of the matter is Labels pushed artists towards ignorant music because they didnt want the MESSAGE of REAL hip hop getting to their homes in the suburbs. Contrary to what many of you idiots believe MUSIC STILL SELLS and this IGNORANT BS rap does NOT sell like it used to because IT IS NOT GOOD. The labels sign the artists to deals that will leave them financially wrought when theyre over, and endorse a NEGATIVE BLACK IMAGE without having to develop the artist..labels also know that alot of black people are poor and would do ANYTHING to get out of their situation and would emulate the image that they are exposed to because they see it as their best chance of success. There is no exposure for positive black figure, that is where the labels are doing evil. People can only buy whats on the market and people will only produce what is marketable. However that is decided by the industry. kendrick has gone Platinum..with the most modest amount of content So hip hop isnt dead people still want THE GOOD and THE REAL but its not abundant..
^^exactly. they obviously didn’t take the time to listen or read. which is also a problem for this day in age but that’s another discussion
Stupid, bro. You’re whole perspective is centered around this belief that rappers were selling positive records 20 years ago, but we all know the greatest selling rap albums are centered around gun violence and thug-life. It’s always been about this “negative” image you describe.
was there not artistic integrity about it though? doing what they wanted to do and say what they wanted to say..its not about lyrics being positive its about white record labels being able to take artists and strip them of artistic integrity and make them sell whatever they want the people to hear and see
im white and i hate this kid of bullshit rap. but whats funny to me is.. didnt scarface make MILLIONS off the kid of rap thats being played now?.. the lyrics are almost the exact same in meaning its just their said stupider lol. the music is dumbed down its a simplified version of what scarface, jayz, tupac, nas all say…and thats not white peoples problems that chief keefs concerst all sell out and 2chainz sells 800k..black ppl all buyin his shit and spend money to see them in concerts isnt white ppls faults
As much as I love Face, that’s just not some shit to say. Picture Vanilla Ice sayin that the reason he can’t sell records is because black people are more prominent as rappers, how fucking fast would everyone jump on his ass and call him racist? To truly end racism EVERYFUCKINBODY needs to stop being racist or even paying that ish attention, not just the evil white man, even though we all know that white people are all out to get minorities… not
so to sum up? scarface is just another black guy blaming white peope for dumb shit black people do and say, instead of taking responsibility and fixing it THEMSELVES!
The ethics that form a foundation for record companies are more important than the CEO’s racial, ethnic or religious affiliations. BTW, how many Rick Rubin’s does it take to create a golden era?
White people complaining about Scarface saying their is a hidden agenda .
I hope the next generation of rappers spend their time talking about splitting white peoples wigs, and rapping about treating women who look like your sisters and moms as whores and bitches,and selling crack in your nice suburban areas .
No doubt you would all change your tune then it would be all about this is wrong they shouldn’t talk about women that way .
Be honest you like people of color to act like walking talking dicks as that shit is funny to you and fits in with your preconceived view of black people
Aaaaaannnnd it’s shit like this that perpetuates racism. Wow, get an accurate perspective on life you racist fuck
Don’t like it do you… why you so offended stupid cunt
white people have no problem admitting black ppl are way more racist then white ppl btw..
N one puts a gun to anyone’s head to buy shitty music….consumers have a choice and unfortunately today’s music consumers are teens who have no sense of individuality and just go with the flow…the young money squad is wack so is wiz kalifa Rick Ross….the list goes on and on …..other rappers who used to be good and unique then see that shitty music sells so they dumb down their lyrics and get beats from producers who have “hits” on the radio just to sell…but at the end of the day it’s just garbage….don’t blame executives….BLANE STUPID ASS CONSUMERS WHO BUY SHITTY MUSIC…..execs see that shitty music sells and they pump more out and sign more stupid artists……
hip hop white owned since 98
truth
Respect!!!!
Scarface be looking like a well fed wide-mouthed bass these days
Agree these corny ass white artists like MGK and yelawolf plus this tyga bullshit is white college kid shit… but another fact that doesnt relate to that is Scarface would NOT let Em rap on his shit but just produce the beat for him cuz he feels he couldnt keep up and ems a very lyrical cat and make “the renegade mistake” look it up if yall dont believe
I blame the Mexicans. Mmmm…Tacos.
if a white guy is forbidden to use the word nigga, while black use it freely is racism
theres a difference between a white guys like Eminem or Lil’ Wyte and thats that they’ve been around predominately black environment and have been treated like niggas. do you think they have a problem saying nigga? white people want to say nigga because blacks make it cool to say it.. you are sad little rudolph not being included in reindeer games
lol reindeer games .He does sound butt hurt . WHY CANT I SAY THE N WORD NOT FAIR ..LOLZ
Why is he complaining we all know that we like laughing at black folk when they are disrespecting their women and rapping about designer clothes ..It’s funny to us as we would never do that to ourselves to amuse another race and then be owned by that other race it would JUST never happen . L.O.L
I have too agree with this one. The pendulum sways towards white elite ideals which is always commercial bullshit with no substance. Look at pop, rock, dance – no substance. The only thing I give these guys is country music at least it has some sort of spiritual edge at times… White people can hate Scarface all they want they are consistent in condemning blacks when time permits…
Really? White music has no substance? Ever heard of Bob Dylan or The Beatles? Influential and plenty of substance. And who is saying white people hate Scareface? So much wrong with your logic. U mad or something bro?
Please stop with the “black people” “white people” stupid discussion that leads nowhere but to racist claims.
I’ve heard of them – Bob Dylan illuminati scholar and the Beaties are one of and handful with substance….
Why is Scarface talking shit about the music industry when all he does is push out terrible music as well? People need to stop blaming groups of people for the state of the music industry. Seriously, don’t talk shit and then put out terrible music.
I thought that Nas,Khalid,Scarface combo was kind of dope Just saying
ZZZZ….SLEEP….ZZZZZZ….SLEEP…..ZZZZZ….SLEEP
Most rappers are just puppets that do exactly what their label tells them to do. A lot of the “one hit wonders” that you don’t hear on the radio anymore are gone because they didn’t want to make anymore bullshit bubblegum rap music that their label was telling them to do. A prime example is Chamillionaire.
cosign. But people are buying and supporting poor quality music instead of buying Chams records. Thats not only fault of “white people” (as if by saying “black people” or white people” we were speaking of a unique community of people who have the same socioeconomical and cultural conditions and beliefs).
I was at more than a few parties the last couple weeks, and the DJ’s were black, not old white Jewish guys, and they were playin the same shit on the radio. Explain that. Most whiteboys I know who are into rap, dont really like the hiphop they play on the stations, black people do. Period. Go ahead and try and turn on Talib Kweli at the club and get booed out the building.
lol you are pathetically stupid
Most African Americans don’t listen to hip hop on the radio because its only “sold out” music! Personally, I don’t listen to the radio at all! All music these days is crap!
@Anonymous, troll or brainless, no response needed.
@Mimi, I dont know what black people you hang out to make a statement that most black people dont listen to the stuff on the radio, its the exact opposite, the vast majority of black people LIKE the songs on the radio, bump the songs on the radio at parties, clubs, in their cars, it’s an organic industry, both bottom up and top down, people like what is played on the radio and vice versa the people organically have made stars out of unknown artists and the industry responds to this demand (i.e. Drake via “Best I Ever Had”, Meek Mill “Make Em Say”, Trindad James “Gold Everything”).
lol the figure head of your retarded country is a half white half kenyan muslim .
All the money is in the developing countrys i.e bric nations China,Brazil,India,South Africa, Google it .
So much for white man owning the world the west is fucked as you have no natural resources ..
Now go back to fucking your one toothed mentally retarded cousin trailer trash SCUM
I don’t understand why people cant have intelligent conversations on these kind of sites..don’t yall care about the music you’re listening to? and I don’t mean intelligent as in only educated people because illiterate folks have opinions too and that shouldn’t distract and dictate from a point being made.
Why is Scarface complaining we all know that we like laughing at black folk when they are disrespecting their women and rapping about designer clothes ..It’s funny to us as we would never do that to ourselves to amuse another race and then be owned by that other race it would JUST never happen . L.O.L
So true the way they disrespect themselves is so fucking funny . Nothing wrong with us dictating the music . No one is putting a gun to their head and making them disrespect themselves for entertainment
^this
Fuck white bois one of them ruined my damn career
People wonder why racism still exists in today’s day and age and it is because of comments such as this. Scarface has officially went off the deep end. Because HipHop chooses to not solely promote rape, murder, drugs, etc. it’s become white? In actuality, it does nothing other than try to send a more positive message and encourage people (especially the younger generation(s)) to learn to Hustle by other means. This should not be something that is criticized! Look through here and see the idiotic comments being made by “anonymous or insert stupid name here”. Even those commenting with non-merited viewpoints know their argument is garbage, hence why they don’t put their name. Whether it makes the actual music better or worse is up for everyone on their own to decide. Personally, I grew up in the trap and listening to TrapMuzik so that’s the style that appeals to me. And while I’ve educated and bettered myself, I still prefer to hear TrapMuzik. This is, however, the way the country is going and either jump on board or get lost. Rick Ross lost 3-5 Mil on a deal from Reebok because he subtly made a rape lyric. With images of companies now a days, they cannot afford to have ignorant worthless people representing them because they lose money doing so – and the world today is ALL about the money. Labels are no different.
except there is no such thing as racism against people, they have never experienced opression and the whole goddamn system works in their favour, ALWAYS. educate yourself.
No racism? Who has never experienced oppression? What system works in whose favour? What is favour?
Everything you say, William, is bullshit.
“Because HipHop chooses to not solely promote rape, murder, drugs, etc. it’s become white?”
I don’t think thats what he said at all. He’s talking about the effects of WHITE/JEW-ISH OWNERSHIP and the destruction of Black intellectualism and revolutionary spirit that was once prevalent in the culture.
I agree.. He’s is basically talking about the alienation of white dominant capitalist, in the position of obtaining our voices, creative ideas and putting a cap how much input you have as an artist or a person in return for money and fame that quickly loses the value, as well as our identity, which is why we have people like William who stereotype our people and our culture as nothing and almost making it seem like Hip HOp was nothing until whites got a whole of it..
*Anonymous – You make a very, very, very, solid case there as to why everything I said is bullsh*t. You do. I can’t deny that. *Imhotep – He’s said that the “white/jew-ish ownership” IS the reason for the destruction, not and the destruction. He is saying that, in essence, the black man has succumbed to the white. It’s EACH INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS FAULT. If they have a problem with what is being put out in HipHop then don’t sign to a label and that problem won’t be a problem. EX: Tech9. It’s only because rappers are quick to get a paycheck that they jump behind a label and THAT is the reason they have to produce the material they do. It has taken a turn for the worse, absolutely, I agree 100%. However, I don’t agree on the reasoning why. Continuing to blame the white man only creates more controversy and segregates are communities more, just as the white man blaming the black does so.
Questlove is a porch-monkey. fACt
@ the above comments regarding Questlove being a porchmonkey,
Why exactly is he a porch monkey? The Roots have been grinding for almost 20 years in the game. They’ve always kept it real, no matter how the industry has changed. Being on national television every night makes them porch monkeys? If they were the house band for 106 & Park would they still be considered porch monkeys? When entertainers try to branch out and reach a wider audience why do some people consider them sell outs? Jimmy Fallon has a lot of knowledge regarding hip hop. You can tell the guy respects the culture and the music. Questlove is a grown ass man and he knows exactly what he’s doing. Do your homework before you make stupid ass comments.
My fellow black people, its nothing wrong preserving our culture !
And what culture is that exactly?
^^^
Hip-hop
lol, thank you! Seriously though, I think everyone on this site understands it’s HipHop. I’m talking more specifically: What is it about the culture you want to preserve? Drugs? Murder? Rape? Theft? Crime? Teaching future generations to act based on those things as opposed to educating themselves and they will be more successful?
“What is it about the culture you want to preserve? Drugs? Murder? Rape? Theft? Crime?”
These are European-inherited traits and behavioral patterns. There are re-enforced onto us by Europeans.
We are not tying to preserve this culture…rather destroy it. We are trying to preserve and resurrect our original African culture.
William…what are you getting this Hip Hop culture being about, murder rape and etc…WTF are you talking about.. you are stereotyping pioneers because of what MOST rappers are talking about today…Hip Hop wasn’t started like that..it was movement to inherently create a pan African community amongst African Americans and minorities who struggled in the shadow of Capitalistic dominance that alienated minorities. It was a party that allow minorities to let loose and have fun.. But not too many people like you understand that because you are not really a Hip Hop fan.. It’s like you love history but talk about how Our FOunding Fathers care about equal rights, basically pertaining it to what you see today as a way of saying that we all have a equal fair hand at the American Dream…FUck outta here William…you might not live in America to understand, because you are as lost..
“what are you getting this Hip Hop culture being about, murder rape etc.” Well, first of all I think you mean to say “Where are you getting this HipHop culture being about murder, rape, etc.?” But I don’t have the time to correct all your grammar mistakes as there are simply far too many. I am stereotyping pioneers? How so? Stereotyping, first off, is a preconceived notion of something based on the past. By YOUR very definition, a pioneer cannot be stereotyped. A pioneer is WHAT you would base the stereotype itself, not the other way around but that is neither here nor there. Like I said I won’t fault you for being uneducated (though I should). I do agree to disagree with you on the reason it was founded in the first place though – which is fine because it’s irrelevant to our comments. I’m not a hip hop fan, you’re right. I’m only a fan of TrapMuzik. I don’t care for bubblegum rap, I don’t care for R&B, and I don’t care for anything other than TrapMuzik. T.I., Jeezy, etc. is the only thing I listen to. So when I say that is what HipHop’s main selling point is, it’s based on the HipHop I listen to. Scarface falls into the same category as them. Go listen to BigDog Status off Scarface’s album with T.I. on it. Point proven. Love history? You’re making assumptions now which is not a very considerate thing to do. Our founding fathers did not care about equal rights, as that was way ahead of the time we are speaking about. But I think you for at least attempting to make an argument even though you know nothing about grammar, spelling, punctuation, what you’re talking about, or probably what the actual message behind the article was in the first place. Thank you for giving me something to do for 2 minutes. Good day Anonymous.
You take life too seriously William….This is a blog not an essay….if you are taken my words or what I write as uneducated…I prove my point that you are a bigot, egotistical hip hop poser.. you are fundamentally challenged and I am disappointed that Hip Hop reached out to people like you. PS..ONLY White people talk about grammar on a hip hop website.. go somewhere…
Scarface is right though. Not only can you see it for yourselves, but he was head of one of Def Jam’s prominent divisions, so he’s seen it from the inside as well.
So are you upset that HipHop is trying to stray away from violence and drugs and rape and murder and theft?
And Quest love is a porch monkey!
@William
Nothing wrong with straying away from the negative aspects of the past, but the people who do that don’t necessarily get pushed to the forefront and when they do, there’s always been some sort of gimmick or hook to it. When was the last time you really heard an uplifting record that was hot and played on the radio and not on some goofy timeslot like 2am? You’ll barely hear if you do at all, because the cats at the top don’t want that to be pushed when it comes to Rap music. Other genres get to push that, but they dont allow Urban Music to really get that nod. There are many documentaries about how rappers will want to put their message out there, but the labels insist that they want a so-and-so type. Watch to Fade to Black (the Jay-Z doc) and there’s a part where this local dude is scared to be himself because he’s been trained to think the masses dont want that.
Nicely stated. It’s unfortunate though because TrapMuzik is far and away the best type of music out there and unless you follow that specific artist and purchase their material, you do not have the opportunity to hear it.
its only becoming white cuz that’s who putting out the best music….Scarface shouldn’t just blame it on music execs he should blame it on the dumb rappers who rap about stupid stuff. The only thing AFrican American rappers r rapping about is bitch this ho that, and killing somebody else. Scarface dont blame it on execs blame it on these dumb rappers who rappin bout stupidity
Preach. Finally an intelligent comment!
Ain’t Questlove a porch monkey?
But you gotta that the reason they are rapping about stupid stuff is because the record executive are telling then too/paying them too. The record label is a control system, it is more concerned and focused around the label making money than the actual artist. They tell these artists what type of music to make, what market to target, and what other artists to collaborate with. Scarface is right the labels now have the power where in the past the people and the artists had the power.
While the label does control the majority of decisions, it is each individual rapper’s choice to sign to a label in the first place. If they want to be able to rap about whatever they want, they should have EDUCATED themselves first and they would know things such as these before signing a contract with that label. It’s only what the label wants because these rapper’s SIGN THEMSELVES (WILLINGLY) to the label to get a payday. Independent artist, EX: Tech9 etc. do not have this issue.
Well most of these black rappers come from poor families as compared to other white rappers and so they will of course end up signing to garbage record labels who don’t care about them and if a rapper decides to do good music, then the label will drop him/her because they know that nonsense sells since we are the ones who buy and listen to crap.
Disagree…Compare white rappers to African American rappers by the majority to the minority, we’re talking about quantity here, not race. There are more black rappers then white, maybe a 8/1 ratio. How the hell can all the white rappers that ever came out this past year get more marketing, air time and radio push then those African American rappers that are more talented and more articulate and lyrical then those white rappers and black rappers. People like what they like, but what people.. Hip Hop radio like 105.1 in NY, Hot 97 for example don’t play what there demographics want such as African American/Latino. Pop radio stations like Z100 playing Macklemore, Mac Miller, Crossover artist like Wiz Khalifa only when on songs with Adam Levine and Jay-z with Justin Timberlake suit and tie, are not going to play songs with African Americans alone…Demographics are important, and not all African AMericans can reach universal demographics unless you do songs poppy and most of them don’t fly out the game doing. White rappers unfortunately don’t need to sell out to something that they are automatically associated with…Eminem is so big because he almost disassociate himself from that crowd and people appreciated his nerve to do so…
lol, you think those racist comments actually hurt?
same ole, same ole.
According to Scarface, blacks can do no wrong. So keep doing your thing Chief Keef, Scarface’s got your back! smh.
Czarface > Scarface (lol)
According to me, Questlove is a porch monkey. go throw hima banana. FACT!!!
truthfully, questlove is a punch monkey. smh!
Questlove is Jimmy Fallon’s porch monkey. I bet u he gets fed bananas back stage.
Questlove is officially the porch monkey of the last 2 millennia. smh!
black nazi
Jimmy Fallon: Hi monkey
Questlove: fine, except I am hungry for some ananas!
Scareface you right, and I blame all the BIG homies for not putting on the little homies on.
The racism…from both sides…sickening
-Christian man praying for you all.
Minorities don’t buy music. They steal and kill everything… We’re killing our own culture by not supporting and making white racist designers rich… SMH! Crabs in the bucket! It’s not the labels fault… It’s the fake ass fans. White people buy albums!
Scarface is apparently a racist prick. “The Jews control Hip Hop!”
Hmm..I cant help but notice the people complaining (IE DMX, Scarface) are no longer on top..and are perhaps bitter..
Hip Hop is boring now, not white.
Hip hop is boring because the european/jew-ish owners took the substance out of it.
B4 Rap had something to say. Now, it is commercialized garbage; it’s very 2-dimensional. (U can see it from all the mindless Lil Wayne groupies and shit on this site; just dumb mufuckaz who don’t know no better).
Last tuesday I bought a great Peugeot 205 GTi after earning $5717 this – four weeks past and-over, 10/k last-month. with-out any doubt it’s the best job Ive had. I actually started eight months/ago and practically straight away was bringin in over $81 p/h. I use the details on this web-site Wow55.Com__
everything this man said is correct. you can tell face is really for the people, thats why he is so pissed at the current state of affairs. if you pulling the race card fuck outta here with that shit. he didnt say he dislikes white people or jews. he telling it like it is the music industry run by jews #fact
YES!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! I agree…he didnt say he HATED whites or Jews…but all the whites and Jews are getting there PANTIES in a bunch dont be mad its the truth and its hurting “Them”.
true but they are doing what makes the most money. its not a conspiracy against black people its what makes the most money
I SEE THE POINT HE IS TRYING TO MAKE, BUT THAT IS NOT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
blah blah blah conspiracy against black people blah blah blah
typical
Scarface complaining we all know that we like laughing at black folk when they are disrespecting their women and rapping about designer clothes ..It’s funny to us as we would never do that to ourselves to amuse another race and then be owned by that other race it would JUST never happen . L.O.L
Yes the way they disrespect themselves is so fucking funny . Nothing wrong with us dictating the music . No one is putting a gun to their head and making them disrespect themselves for entertainment
Bum ass leaches are mad that he’s speaking the truth… LMAO… Minorities don’t support shit. A bunch of crab in the buckets that will buy a pair of Jordans/Phoamposites made in China and make some white racist rich but won’t buy an album that costs $10 to support their own. Beat it with your lame ass excuses for not wanting the label to get your money… It’s a petty ass $10… Yes the label is making money but those sales help the artist too… Do real research instead talking out your ass about something you really don’t know shit about. Unless you went to school for music business and/or worked in the industry, you don’t know shit! You just a blood sucking leach making excuses for why you don’t support your own… Meanwhile artists like Justin Timberlake are going 2x Platinum in less then a month because white people support their own!
True the way they disrespect themselves is so fucking funny . Nothing wrong with us dictating the music . No one is putting a gun to their head and making them disrespect themselves for entertainment
If you look at it from a media perspective…it is like putting a gun to peoples heads…media is controlled by people who run labels and the radio stations…the artist nor the DJ dictate who is put on air…new standard of what can be green lighted..
imaPlay reversePsychology rite here.the rappers r the female dogz cuzThey da 1’s being ran all over(i’m laughing)& told what 2 do musically
So if we say we don’t wanna hear that bullshit rap all day every day,,you think. The label will make a change?,,,noooo!,,,,,,cause that’s what we are saying balance this shit out,,,,
‘Face if that is how you feel, fine. We’re all entitled to our options. However, not all of us are in the position that you’re in. You’re a legend in this game. People have mad respect for you and what you do. You could release a mixtape expressing your options. You talk about the craft and how you don’t want other people to dictate what we hear, yet you can’t release a fucking album. Why is that? Because you feel people don’t want to hear you? BULLSHIT! It’s because the “white man” won’t cut you the check you feel you rightfully deserve. So it’s not about your fans or the culture. If it was you would bless us, your fans, with a tape. Look at E40. Look how much music this man releases. The Jews can’t stop him. But shit, lets face it- it has ALWAYS been the jews that have owned these major labels. So fuck all has changed. You sound angry because you feel you’re not relevant anymore. If you were to release records like 40 you could tour every year. But no. Fuck up and stop your bitching. Make music and let it speak for itself.
Why release an album… So your bum ass can steal it and download it for free? FOH! Yet you want a FREE mixtape though right?
Good interview HHDX.
WHITE POWER!!!!!
Clearly scarface doesnt listen to Pro Era, Flatbush Zombies, freddie gibbs, elzhi, the underachievers, ab-soul, j cole etc
fuck white people. fuck black people. fuck brown people. fuck red people. fuck yellow people.
Hope everybody feels offeneded. Now lets move on from this bickering and make some money.
I thought I was the only one who noticed this. Gentrification is happening in rap music. In 10 years or so it will be like rock. White people succeeded in stealing this shit. Every month there’s a new white rapper out getting signed to a major deal, it’s not just Eminem anymore…And if you haven’t noticed, black rappers now have to do traditionally “white” things or they won’t be accepted into the mainstream. White people used to support the music as it was, but now they dictate what these should rappers do. The black rappers that are popular are making techno, riding skateboards, dipping into white subculture groups to borrow styles, or doing some psedo intellectual backpack nonsense. White people chose Kendrick Lamar, they chose Drake, they choose certain artists that are popping when it used to be US who told THEM what to like. Lauryn Hill sold like 20 mill doing black music in the 90’s, white people bought her shit, but if she dropped in this day and age she wouldn’t go gold…Because it’s “too black”..Same with artists like 50 Cent and DMX, who sold a lot of records earlier on…Hiphop as we once knew it ended in the 2000’s…
besides Em,Yelawolf and MGk what white rapper signed to a big label ?…well let me tell u ..there isnt no one… do u know whos still holding down hiphop ?? guys like Vinnie Paz,Eminem,R.A. , Ill Bill etc…those guys right there…so at the end of the day…blacks fucked their culture up…and fans who bought into retarded art…stop blaming the whites ok…its stupid and racist
There are plenty of good rappers, but you self rightous crackers don’t support them because you think you’re some how “above” it. Even when a black rapper does conscious rap like common, the shit flops. So don’t give me that shit you stupid honkey. Why dont you take responsibility for being racist and only supporting crackers like yourself you fucking faggot.
Huge fan of Scarface, but that comments fucking stupid
Hip hop did not start out about bitches and hoes and killing fool…competing was the original idea behind hip hop….it was a way of settling differences measured by mc, djing skills and crews able to move crowds….mostly peaceably…..when it became commercialized fully in late 80s thru 90s, thats when its meaning changed because it became a top money maker….due to so called “white” music predominately rock, easy listening pop wasn’t not pulling in a big enough share…so once Capitalistic Crazed, Mostly White Folks in power as well as Black and Other Minority Wanna-Beez jumped in and exploited the genre that was admired by white youth as cool and speaking to them according to the How and Why Hip-Hop became mainstream….its always the dollar and if you are American you are either chasing the $$ or being chased by it…..and to the shills getting paid to incite….when SHTF….you will not be safe racism will not safe anyone with Facism on the menu….it is the forefathers of hip-hop (I mean the one from the 90s that made dough….rapping negative…for how its gotten to now)….but everyone wants to make U$ currency to live rich and act poorly…..
Stupid ass comment
The irony.
I laugh at those who say the Jews run the music industry lool the Jews run whole America like the leaders any one with half a brain knows this !!
Let me start by saying I’m a big Face fan, much respect to what dude has done in hiphop over the years…but when are black people gonna take some responsibility for what they do as individuals? There’s no conspiracy, only black people selling themselves out for fame and somewhat fortune. The music is made by black people, they walk in the studio and the ignorance comes out of their mouths into the mic. You can say white people who run the industry set the standard for what’s given the most push, but black people are willing to sell themselves out to follow that standard instead of standing up for their “community”. Hiphop used to be beautiful black music that was run by itself, until black people caught feelings that hiphop didn’t get the same burn as other genres, so they sold out and conformed…you ever hear, be careful what you wish for, well hiphop is a perfect example. You wanted hiphop to be the same as the other genres and now it is…Everybody cried racism when hiphop wasn’t supported by white people and now it’s a conspiracy when it is supported by white people…that’s garbage. Hiphop killed hiphop, and turned it into what it is today…this is a bullshit excuse for what hiphop has become, Hiphop needs to take responsibility for what it has become and stop copping out to blame white people.
agreed. take responsiblity of your own actions.
Thank you for saying this. Many rappers get big off a mix tape that isn’t being controlled by a label. There wasn’t anyone coming in and saying “Hey, Wakka, make all these retarded songs.” He did that on his own.
But didn’t he take the blame as well distribute it:
“I think that anything goes in Hip Hop these days. I blame everybody who came before right now, including myself, for the conditions of what it is. I think the people that came before me taught me and if I couldnt reach nobody else, then I didnt do my job. I shouldve been a little better about the way that I laid my blueprint down. So I have nobody to blame but myself for the conditions of Hip Hop today.”
If you’re been paying attention to HipHop & Rap since for the last 15 years, everything he’s saying is true. I understand your point, but honestly,the indoctrination of wealth by all means necessary in the black is real, just like the sexualization of our society as a whole right now. Who controls your news, your media, your drugs, illegal and legal? It sure as ain’t brown folks… Think outside your box.
BTW: Who cried racism because Whites didn’t support HipHop? Why would Blks care when Whites have a LONG history of counterfeiting our culture and music? Just stop.
take responsibility for COINTELPRO, or slavery or the civil rights failures of the past generations. while u crackers sit here and pretend like black people made all their own problems but the catalyst to every one is some white man and his fu*king business. you guys are stupid and insecure to come here and insult faces statement
Hello!!! you have totally missed the point of what Scarface is saying. Hip Hop did not sell itself out. That’s BS. I remember when things changed. Things changed when hip hop albums started selling millions globally. For the record Jeru tha Damaja, KRS 1, wu tang clan and did not sell out. They were sidelined because the record companies did not think their music would sell. Contrary to popular belief hip hop is still alive, however, it is a smaller circle now.
Next you can’t talk about black people not buying records. Of course black people buy records don’t be an idiot. However, “struggle” music is predominantly bought by black people. The record execs don’t like the struggle because it is music that makes many people uncomfortable.
In fact the only failure of hip hop itself was not securing a hip hop worthy distribution channel for the masses.
In conclusion whaT Scarface says is true but slightly inaccurate. Hip Hop isn’t white now, it is very watered down. They don’t even curse as much as they did in the 90s anymore. There appears to be an attack on artists who make struggle and educational music. And if you don’t believe me, name me one artist who talks about the struggle in the last ten years that has at least gone gold ( I mean at least 50 % of their album being struggle music).
in other news… v-nasty signs 750k record deal……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
who on the god damn planet is stupid enough to sign that bitch!! I’ve never heard anything worse in my entire life than her
what about the bad brains
I’ve notice this since early 2000’s. In the past 3-4 years, we have more white rappers come out than ever. Before that, the “snap music” came out. And now Lil’ Wayne is the only one sellin’ in rap all cuz he picked up a skateboard and guitar. I felt like we lost the genre years ago. You got some that stand up and make quality music but you don’t see because of all the bullshit music out now.
Now that I think about it; it’s not just rap that suffering from creativity and freedom. It’s every other genre of music also. This teeny booper shit needs to stop and go back to what music really was.
Folk music is doing great to let you know, a resurgence in fact, lots of good creative stuff going on in Folk. Who am I kidding nobody listens to that shit haha

We’ll never get past our skin colors if people can’t accept we are all equal, if it is true we’re all the same than it shouldn’t matter what color hip-hop is. Isn’t that being racist in a way Scarface ?
Nicely said.
shut the fuck up william
That’s all well and good and how it should be, but unfortunately the world outside doesn’t operate that way
Ya’ll make worldstar comments look like a Mensa discussion board.
LOL!
SMH! You leaches just don’t get it do you? This is a BUSINESS… Labels see that the Urban community (minorities) don’t support or buy shit… They steal everything… So the labels turn around and sign a bunch of white acts because they know white people buy albums… So while they’re slowly taking over a genre created by minorities, they’re making minorities look bad with acts like Trinidad James… That sad part is that you mothers fuckers aren’t going to wake up and realize it until it’s too late…
There are too many white people even on this site. 300 out of 357 people in these comments are white.
I’m assuming you forgot to mention what your point was?
Instead of seeing that you’re the problem, just like most minorities… You point the finger at white people for your bullshit.. LMAO. Buy albums and support your culture… If not, don’t get mad when white people take over this shit and sell way more then minority artists.
Yeah dude you are so right after we take hip hop back lets kick the whites off the internet they invented
^^blacks invented hiphop, why do you take your cracker ass to countrydx.com
And bum ass black and spanish people are killing it… So what is your point? I’ll wait!
of course blacks invented hip hop did I say they didn’t?
Fuck rap. I listen to Dubstep and Reggae now, bitches.

PEP LOVE – HIP HOP MY FRIEND
We sold our culture period…..Someone replies by saying What Culture? Pan Africanist culture that didn’t involve your ass as evident as your clueless ass asking me that question…but we embraced each other through struggle and work together during turmoil, and we let divide and conquer get to our heads, and now Survival of the Fittest is the mentality of our people and our culture were we are willing to sell everything for a taste of fame and fortune that doesn’t last long, but most importantly, have commenters, bloggers, capitalist and all the people who wonder what culture was stolen, APPROPRIATE our voices, culture, traditions and turn it in to a identity that Is lost and stereotyped every single day…
Fuck all you white fucking wiggas
Hip Hop is dead.
ja rule is hiphop now!
“How can all the white rappers that ever came out this past year get more marketing, air time and radio push then those African American rappers that are more talented and more articulate and lyrical then those white rappers”
That’s the thing. It has nothing to do with color, at least now. In the old days, hip hop was dominated by African American rappers, which made sense cause you had two of the most popular rappers (2pac and Biggie), and seemingly everyone else from DMX to Too Short. Problem was the artists themselves got lazy, putting out the same songs, thus when Eminem came on the scene, it was like a breath of fresh air for people. Same thing is now happening with Macklemore and Mac Miller. It’s actually good for hip hop to have success stories like these, cause don’t forget, it’s still a BUSINESS above all else.
Mac miller is terrible, macklemore is maybe slightly below average nut Miller is garbage
Lil Wayne taught me how to be a G and Drake showed me how to get pussy.
grow a backbone you dumb fuck thats all fantasy
I sign who ever i want to sign. If you don’t have a buzz going on you can’t talk to me as for now im going to keep pushing chief keef into being the new 50 cent of this generation.
The “condition” of today’s hip hop????????
Joey Bada$$, Kendrick Lamar, Big KRIT, J Cole.
I’m sorry is there something “wrong” with these arists. Is this an example of the “white man controlling our minds.”
The fact that Scarface seems completely oblivious to is that:
Because of the Internet,
RECORD LABELS HAVE LESS POWER OVER WHAT PEOPLE LISTEN TO THAN THEY HAVE SINCE THE BIRTH OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
i’m one of these White Jews who runs this industry but would you motherfuckers please stop talking about my dick whenever Dr. Dre is mentioned
“There are many ghost-writers now….and actually music video directors make the videos…most of whom are “outside” of hip hop culture and place satanic symbolism in them”
Alot of rappers write their own stuff, so you should have interpreted that point alot easier than you do. As for the directors, you do realize rappers write the treatments for alot of their videos. The director is basically a hired hand who tells everybody where to stand, breaks down the scene, and manages the egos so he can cash his check. He doesn’t have 100% control like that.
Scarface has zero room to say anything about “quality music,” and who’s controlling the music. Face lost all respect from me when he got a hold of a freestyle 2pac recorded on a VHS camcorder and pasted that horrible quality freestyle into a Scarface song (Homies & Thuggs) to make a new “Face & Pac” song. To top that off, he let the biggest Pac biter of all time, Master P, get on the track and then released it like the 3 recorded it together. The quality was horrible, Pac’s verse wasn’t on beat, and it was a shoddy release that was shameful to 2pac’s legacy. Talk about trying to milk the legacy of a dead man on some dishonest ish, especially after he gave you the biggest hit of your career (Smile). It’s ish like that, which has been the downfall of rap music, black and white. Additionally, the biggest selling rap artists are still black artists. Check out Cash Money/Young Money. You may not like them but they are BLACK owned, and they are signing WHITE artists to their label! Also, independent artist have the biggest market they’ve ever had with the Internet being used to push music, which is why many artists stay independent or demand record breaking signing bonuses. Sounds like Face crying about irrelevant because of the dishonest choices he made in releasing music for no other reason than to milk the fans and another mans legacy as the Homies & Thuggs track proves. Being a drama queen claiming “jew’s” took hiphop hardly helps you explain away your lack of quality and your laziness. Shameful display trying to represent all of us black folks with that bs.
Im Rich Bitch!!(laughing all the way to the bank)
i think its hillarious how Black People demand to be equal and a part of everything white people do…but white people arent allowed within the city limits of black culture…equality, take it or leave it…if you are racist yourself you should expect that negative energy to come back your way…and if you dont you are a fool
from that comment I can tell you know nothing about black people or the culture! Deal with blacks and you will see different. your a clown, get from in front of your computer screen and tv. Deal with some blacks. And don’t tell me you are dealing with blacks because if you was you wouldn’t have made that comment
Whites aren’t allowed within the city limits of black culture because the can’t play nice. If white people just SHARED the black culture with the blacks we’d be fine, but no white people gotta take it over and turn into a white-money-making machine that also happens to make blacks look stupid.
It seems to me Blacks need to step there game up! Listen to the dumb shit that comes out now. Scarface is mad that the white man is being successful in a perdomanitly black entertainment business.
true indeed
You need to step your game up sucka!
scarface is talking about the ones that run the labels the squares that dont know shit about hiphop or never bin to the hood!
you wont know rel hiphop even if it slapped you in the face cause you bin brainwashed into thinking what you hear today is real hip hop…check the history
“The White man and the Jew have used songs like Rico Suave, The Macarena, and I Know You Want Me by Pitbull to make the Latin American community look stupid. Reggaeton was bought up by white men to keep the hispanic man down. Reggaeton is white now.”
——Said NO LATINO EVER
best comment
“Record labels tell rappers what to write”
That is totally false. These execs and suits aren’t songwriters. They don’t control that area. All they care about is the return on their investment. It’s the artist who faces the pressure of creating an album on his/her time. I bet most artists don’t even see the execs more than once a month, maybe twice if they got a hit song.
“The videos are financed by the record labels which is part of the marketing budget that comes out of the artists final paycheck”
That’s a money issue. I was referring to who is creating treatments and turning them into reality… That’s the artists themselves. Granted, I doubt Chief Keef is able to develop treatments and concepts, but aside from the half a dozen dummies in the hip hop world, most artists are responsible for how they’re being portrayed in videos. They know what sells, and I’m sure some are easily influenced by smaller labels who can control them more, but you mean to tell me T.I. or Jay are forced by labels to play “characters” they have no say in?
How do you know this? Are you in the music business? Are you an exec or a writer?
Scarface you need to get off that real shit and rap about money bitches swagg and mollys that way it will be easier on me to sign you buddy ole pal.
you obviously dont know shit about the art form and culture of hiphop you sound dumb…brainwashed .com

Agree these corny ass white artists like MGK and yelawolf plus this tyga bullshit is white college kid shit… but another fact that doesnt relate to that is Scarface would NOT let Em rap on his shit but just produce the beat for him cuz he feels he couldnt keep up and ems a very lyrical cat and make “the renegade mistake” look it up if yall dont believe…
Scarface, take an Economics 101 class and you’ll understand the basics of supply and demand, hence why execs are putting out music that the masses demand
What “masses” are you speaking of? I don’t know anyone who wants the hear the same droll over and over on clear channel radio.
The masses demand what’s available to them, which is what is played on the radio 24-7. Does the masses determine what songs get put out and put on rotation? Or does the record label pay the radio stations to play the songs? I forgot you probably only get your info from the tv. Who determines what news get put on tv?
The masses that can’t get the top 20 hip hop albums on the charts to even add up to a million sales combined? Execs aren’t too smart then, you can’t go on pushing an inferior product when people got bigger priorities in a struggling economy. So what demand again?
Weekly sales that is.
If aggressive promotion have kids thinking Trinidad James or any of these can’t rap for shit niggas are hot, the same effort can be put into cats that can actually rap without having them compromise their integrity(it’s working for Kendrick sorta). That would challenge aspiring artists to step their bars up, people aren’t buying subpar material,look at the weekly sales now compared to 10 years ago and shit was started going downhill 10 years ago. People aren’t really supporting no talent having niggas like that, especially when they tell you how rich they supposed to be, hell a regular joe with common sense would be like “if you got money you don’t need mine”. At least put on decent live show, I’ll be honest I can tolerate the wack only because girls are shaking their ass to it and gyrating hips can hypnotize you into liking the wackest shit.
tru dat
Ain’t that the truth,haha. However, I think sales are declining mostly because of pirating, not because people don’t want the music anymore
Pirating is an issue too, but that’s from years of albums with 3 good tracks and 12 fillers. Would you spend your money or save it especially when the mixtape which is probably free too was way better than the album?
i’m so glad that i’m not brainwashed. i listen only black artists. white ppl music is soulless overrated trash. keep hip hop black!!! hip hop is dead, white ppl killed it. real hip hop is black.. alpha & omega!! btw i wish i was black. fuck this white cracka skin which aging like dog. peace to my homie Farrakhan. 5percent pro-black is da truth.
Hahaha, dude your such a fucking kiss ass, you gotta rep whatever you ever you are, you can’t change it, be proud of what you is and let everyone else be proud of they are and don’t put em down, being white is fine and dandy you just gotta not be the kind of white that is prejudiced against everyone else
everywhere where are white ppl involved there everything starts sucks. white ppl always destroy everything.
Crackas stop killin’ hip hop!!!!! Go being wet dog smelly cracker somewhere else!
this is why racism is not all white people’s fault. mostly it is probably but looks like some black people enjoy being seperate
That is ridiculously racist. And not true. If somebody said a predominately white genre like rock was becoming “so fucking black” and a conspircacy against whites, they would be labeled a racist, and it would spark an outrage, yet a lot of comments I see on here encourage this racism and vent hate for whites. Why can’t we just end all racial tensions, and stop using the race card for everything that doesn’t go to your liking (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and of course Scarface). The only way we can stop racism is by ending all racial tensions and bias.
get ya facts right. rock music was first black but then crackas stole it like everything. now they wanna do the same to hip hop.
I said its predominately white, never said it was started by whites racist fuck. Learn to read. And how are “crackas” stealing hip hop from blacks? There are far more black rappers than there are white. Just because there are a few popular whites doesn’t mean execs are plotting to brainwash black artists and make rap all white. You’re as ignorant as Scarface.
this anonymous guy is a ignorant racist. you sit here and tell me big krit is brainwashed or that dza just rhymes about making money. what you are saying and what scarface is saying. IS NOT HAPPENING hes mad cause hes had a miniscule impact campared to others like nas and jay z
“If somebody said a predominately white genre like rock was becoming “so fucking black” and a conspircacy against whites, they would be labeled a racist”
You mean like that movie White Man’s Burden? Blacks in America could never take over any industry under white supremacy. This argument is void.
“Why can’t we just end all racial tensions, and stop using the race card for everything that doesn’t go to your liking (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and of course Scarface). The only way we can stop racism is by ending all racial tensions and bias”
Ok lets end racism right now. Whites should give up half of the 99.995% of the nation’s wealth they control, as a result of the slave trade, and give us a sizable amount of land and leave blacks to be so we can build our own nation….
dont burn it down like Tulsa, OK (Black Wall st.) and we’ll solve the problem of racism. Deal?
Haahahaha you sound so ignorant right now. How do whites control 99.995 percent of the nations wealth as a result of the slave trade? Thats about 150 years old, nobodies rich off of slave trade anymore, and that is a false statistic. You’re argument is based on a fictional, poorly reviewed movie. Comment when you have a legitimate argument, and when you’re done spewing idiocy.
KEEP HIP HOP BLACK!!!!
Bullshit, what is u problem face? u have problem with white rappers..COLOUR IS NOT IMPORTANT ANYMORE DOG, THIS IS NOT 90 s… NEW GENERATION MAN. LABELS DONT GIVE A FUCK, IF U SELL RECORDS, U SELL!!!!!!! or this is just shit for diggin your hype UP? hm?…sad.
color is still big issue so stop actin’ like it isn’t. we living in this highly racist white supremacy world. just imagine you’re livin’ in tha world which is designed against you.
first of all i don’t act…lmao…second Eminem is white and he is one of the best ever…Scott Storch is white and he is one of the BEST PRODUCERS EVER…..So….Color don’t mean nothing anymore….this nigga just want higher Hype….so. fuck it
lol @ storch being one of the best producers
scarface just proved how retarted he actually is. him making that ridiculous statement reminds me of someone else who made a very similiar one and he eventually got dropped from his own magazine… benzino is fuckin whack. and also wtf is he honestly talking about ? if you agree you must of sustatined some sort of damage to your head. danny brown aint stupid joey bada$$ aint stupid. kendrick lamar,A$ap,dza,godimes,krizz,jon connor,Los,freddie gibbs,killer mike,pusha T,hopsin,schoolboy q what the fuck he talking bout blacks are being made to rhyme stupid ?. just becuase you have a few whack rappers that are black dont mean its a conspiracy or some shit. look at MGK that guys one of the whackest rappers out at the moment might fourm a crusade saying people only wanna see white boys rap about shit that doesnt matter and walk around looking like a dyke dressed them in there faggy denim vests and backwards tilted snap backs. rocking a bulls hat one day then a celtics the other. point im trying to make is dont have winge just coz theres some white people who rap better than some black people its stupid.
Face just bitter cuz he can’t go gold anymore and he wants to blame it on someone. He better blame it on the people who download his albums instead of buying them.
funny how kendrick sold great, jay z, nas, lil wayneee…. good music sells, regardless of the color, people don’t want to buy the same stupid shit about money and hoes, has nothing to do with the skin color.
Damn, say it ain’t so face, wtf? I hate to even say this because I love you man but you are a stupid fuck.
just look at his artist name? Like the real scarface was black… -_-‘
when the fck nggas gonna understand that white, yellow, black, red people are supporting his goddamn music.
when the fck nggas gonna understand that hiphop is a culture. You got hiphopmusic which in my eyes is rap, rnb, motown, blues, jazz and so on… hiphop is for every race. It’s a fckn culture, its not only music. If you enjoy the hiphop music, you dance, you laugh, you got joy, you share.. It’s graffiti, it’s breakdance, it’s music…
THANK YOU
amen man krs1 wouldnt turn around and say the shit face is. much respect homie couldnt of said it better
“hiphop is for every race”
Yes. Us blacks are the true humanitarians of the world…almost to a fault. We share with everyone, we’ve never excluded. We are the ONLY race like this.
But…hip hop…an African creation…NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED BY AFRICANS. Not non-blacks…..Arabs, Asians, Whites, Midgets and humpbacks can dance to it all they want to…
you said it best. Peace brother
Color is not relevant. Making good Music is.
Most of the top Hip Hop acts ARE black.
Some of the best MC’s ARE white (R.A. The Rugged Man, Apathy, Edan).
Color don’t got shit to do with it.
I lost my respect for Scarface. I thought he was one of the smartest guys in hip-hop.
Right on face.
REAL HIP HOP IS BLACK AND WAS CREATED BY GODS!!! ARM LEG LEG ARM HEAD! I SELF LORD AND MASTER!
africa bambaataa created hip hop
before disco turned in to hip hop
Hes onE of GOATS in the game along with ghostface who don’t get recognition. anyways people need to listen up stop buying into what the record execs push on the radio. all that gay “swag” with skinny jeans and with drake pushing these bitch emotion on to our youngins so they can become bisexuals. along with all that gmo in our foods and poisons in our water are fucking us up.
LISTENIN’ “WHITE” HIP HOP IS LIKE ROCKIN’ FAKE CLOTHING. GIVE ME THAT REAL BLACK SHIT!!!
LISTEN REAL HIP HOP! LISTEN BLACK ARTISTS!!!
what is black

hip hop is multicultural
amen listen next time you hear some kinda of Indian string on your shit ur playin in the back of that base
REAL HIP HOP IS BLACK #TRUTH #FACT
^ Must be a young money fan… Retarded racist, lol..
LOOK AT ROSS, WAYNE, JAY, KANYE SALES THEN HE BLAMES THE “WHITE DUDES” FOR THE WAY HIP HOP HAS GONE SMH EVEN CUDI JUST SOLD LIKE 100K FIRST WEEK. MAYBE IF THEY CARED ENOUGH THEY WOULD PUT OUT DECENT MUSIC BUT THE POP BEATS WITH CARS, MONEY, BITCHES SHIT IS THE PATH PEOPLE LIKE FACE LET HIP HOP GO DOWN. HE NEEDS TO LOOK AT HIMSELF INSTEAD OF BLAMING ANYONE ELSE
Shut the fuck up with the lies you speak.
I thought all of you “cool guys” didn’t give a shit about major label music or the radio… lol posers
There’s plenty of great music to support, whether you’re black or white…but instead you all sit here and bitch about the wack shit….one of the main reasons hip hop sucks now, and it has nothing to do with the “old ass white folks and jewish people.” If nobody bought it or listened, they wouldn’t invest in it. shame on you all lol
You YMCMB haters are fucking idiots. Because I’m an accountant for Cash Money Records, I spend a lot of time with Birdman. He told me that in 96, Biggie was looking to get out of his contract with Bad Boy so he could sign with Cash Money. If Cash Money is right for Biggie, then it’s clearly the top record label. Unfortunately, Jay-Z and Diddy found out about Biggie’s upcoming departure and had him shot. Also, Birdman as always a role model for 2Pac. Most of you don’t know this, but the song Hit Em Up was originally supposed to be Split Em Up, a song where Pac brags about fucking Faith, leading to her breakup with BIG. But Birdman explained to Pac that real gangsta’s talking about killing people, so that’s how Hit Em Up took on such a violent tone.
YMCMB for life. We got the game by the clit..
YO BRO YOU INTO FITNESS? HOW ABOUT FITNESS DICK IN YO MOUTH
Birdman is a faggot same with the rest of Young Funny. Bunch of soulless pop acts dressing it up as Hip Hop. And noone gives a fuck about your pretend occupation faggot.
Obviously you just trolling. Cash Money was independent in 96, nobody knew who the fuck they was. So why in the hell Biggie would sign with them after being on a Major Label getting guap? And Birdman never hung out with Pac GTFOH
THIS IS THE REAL TOP5 DOA
RAKIM
SCARFACE
HOV
NAS
ICE CUBE
very good top list. i approved it. you got really good taste in music.
REAL NIGGAS LISTENIN’ REAL BLACK HIP HOP!
I’m camo down to my boxers, gold teeth, a bathing ape
It’s animals in my projects like monkeys, orangutans
Banana clip on that chopper, I hold heat, bangers bang
(Let Chiquita speak) Bet it keep the peace that Lil B, brrrangadang
I don’t care if you blue or you red flagging, hair swinging, my pants sagging
Hoes all on my band wagon, your bitch gagging, she jet lagging
All my cuz niggas, what’s cracking? All my blood niggas, what’s popping?
I ain’t set tripping, I just happen to know who click clacking, you mismatching
Fuck swag and you been jacking, fuck fly, I am fashion
Tryna cop that Benz wagon, my bitch drive it and my friends crash it
Niggas threat with the chit chatting, see a nigga don’t shit happen
I’m finna blow on that Bin Laden, so talk money, pig latin
(Suck my fuckin’ dick, bitch)
i can’t trust you if you listen “white” hip hop.
i cant trust you full stop idiot
SMH! You leaches just don’t get it do you? This is a BUSINESS… Labels see that the Urban community (minorities) don’t support or buy shit… They steal everything… So the labels turn around and sign a bunch of white acts because they know white people buy albums… So while they’re slowly taking over a genre created by minorities, they’re making minorities look bad with acts like Trinidad James… That sad part is that you mothers fuckers aren’t going to wake up and realize it until it’s too late.
Thank you for clearing that up. You are exactly right.It’s not like black people buy albums anyway, so if all black people are gonna do is download the shit for free, then what’s the point of catering to the black audience then. I get so sick and tired of people when they say, “I wonder what happened to this artist?” Well maybe if you supported them in the first place, then maybe they would still be making music. Again, it is a business and not only the artist, but the labels have to make a profit in order for them to continue to make music. Studio time, promotion,songwriters, producers,engineers,etc. All of that shit is NOT free. all of that money has to be reimbursed and if the shit doesn’t sell, then they lost money on the whole thing which is why alot of these labels have merged and started doing 360 deals so they could survive.
ive heard it all now, typical racist shit from a black man (which goes un punished) hip hop is white now???? i thought music was music
fat ugly bastard. thank god ive never purchased a scarface album
shut up cracka!
oh shut the fuck you monkey
shut up you devil. go clean ya self cuz you smell like wet dog
Let me start by saying I’m a big Face fan, much respect to what dude has done in hiphop over the years…but when are black people gonna take some responsibility for what they do as individuals? There’s no conspiracy, only black people selling themselves out for fame and somewhat fortune. The music is made by black people, they walk in the studio and the ignorance comes out of their mouths into the mic. You can say white people who run the industry set the standard for what’s given the most push, but black people are willing to sell themselves out to follow that standard instead of standing up for their “community”. Hiphop used to be beautiful black music that was run by itself, until black people caught feelings that hiphop didn’t get the same burn as other genres, so they sold out and conformed…you ever hear, be careful what you wish for, well hiphop is a perfect example. You wanted hiphop to be the same as the other genres and now it is…Everybody cried racism when hiphop wasn’t supported by white people and now it’s a conspiracy when it is supported by white people…that’s garbage. Hiphop killed hiphop, and turned it into what it is today…this is a bullshit excuse for what hiphop has become, Hiphop needs to take responsibility for what it has become and stop copping out to blame white people
real shit
once again, real hip hop is black!!! respect it!!! worship it!!!
another racist clown
Milehighkid –
I think you’re laying it on a lil think here. Hip hop has been run using the same rules since forever. The only thing that really changed was the # of rappers who were adding to the pot. Point is, the bar has always been set low. That was sort of the idea, because unlike competing genres, hip hop was always getting less respect, but I think the powers that be as well as the artists liked it that way. The thing that changed was technology. The demand is still out there. The problem is alot of the artists who may have thrived before are struggling now cause they didn’t upgrade their skill base. Before it took very little effort for them to go platinum. Now their watching certain artists exploding on the scene and they can’t understand that the industry is still being run the same. It’s the people who grow with the times that thrive.
amen
my itunes library is full of black artists. no white artists allowed!!! str8 like that!!!!!!!!!!
eminem shits on your favourite rapper BITCH
..and i shits on eminem.
2pac>Em
Black Music Fan:
..and i shits on eminem.
WEIRDO ALERT
yeah cause there hasn’t been one single good white artist in history, NOT!! People like you let racial inequality persist by not allowing anything to change (not that it probably would but heck why not)
RIP to your Itunes collection.
Most of you don’t even get what he is saying. He’s not hating on white rappers. He’s hating on record labels and radio execs for pushing a certain type of image of black people to the general public by the artists they choose to promote.
thank you, not many people commenting on here seem to get that
“Execs aren’t too smart then, you can’t go on pushing an inferior product when people got bigger priorities in a struggling economy. So what demand again?”
Hollywood makes several billion a year, so there’s still plenty of demand for music. T.I., Rick Ross, Jeezy, etc. are still going gold, while Eminem, Jay, Kanye, Wayne (up until now) still easily go platinum. The problem the execs have to solve is how do you get people to buy all the filler albums again from the grade b rappers like say Mobb Deep, Nore, whoever. If they could figure this out hip hop would be back on top again. They can’t pretend that people will support albums they don’t even know are coming out.
Postedan hour ago
“How do you know this? Are you in the music business? Are you an exec or a writer?”
Are you? You can disagree with me. That’s fine, but don’t cop out by acting like I have to be in the industry to understand the way things work.
most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, 2pac a ballerina. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new biggie.
Bawse!!!!
lmfao still this same comment. shit… i read this exactly same comment countless times on this site
And that nigga fake as fuck, pretending to be a Boss and big time drug dealer he a CO Officer Ricky!!! Your post=FAIL
I MEAN, SO WHAT ABOUT THE LUPE’S AND THE KENDRICK’S??? HOW DID THEY ESCAPE THE CONSPIRACY?
They didn’t. Lupe isn’t selling millions, and for all of Kendrick’s acclaim, he’s not even platinum yet.
damn right, eminem the goat
yup indeed
he overrated cuz he white, there’re much better black artists like him
One of the GOAT’s, but nowehre near #1.
What I learn most about white people from reading these mostly white comments, is that they have a massive superiority complex. They’re very self righteous and think they’re somehow “above” the things a lot of ‘black people’ choose to rap about. “How dare they talk about the struggles they had to deal with at the hands of white people, how dare they rap from the perspective a person from a white created ghetto, how dare they rap about having a better life after being deprived of anything and everything their whole lives. They should act like hipsters or pick up a dictionary and use big words to impress us. We control this shit and we should dictate what they do, even though they invented and we’re just guests” lol That’s what you guys sound like to me.
White people have forgotten that they’re just guests in our house. They have gotten WAAYYYY to bold and comfortable with this shit, look at these comments. They’re no longer just buying rappers music for what it is, or accepting it… They actually think they can control it. They feel entitled to our music, as if it’s the natural order of the world for them to take what we have. It’s kind of unbelievable to me. It’s articles like this that remind me why I don’t have any white friends.
THANK YOU!!!!
No white friends for real
Very good comment, completely totally truth. I feel ya bruh. Maybe i can be your first real white friend. #RESPECT #PEACE #HOTEP
That was 100% real talk bro.. IMO not all Whites are intentionally evil, but like you say they’re spoiled..the idea of White Supremacy has infected so many of them so deeply they can’t see how fucked up they are. And when you try to explain shit like you did, they deny,deny, and then call you racist for having the nerve to talk about “race”, a concept they created. I got no hatred for White folks that are genuine open minded people, but they are damn hard to find.
In all respect Hip hop/ Rap culture is now global if your to ignorant to know that then your lost. No surtian race is evil people are in general are real talk cant put it on the color of your skin and not every white boy in america is full of money so get that right. It is a race thing when you put it on someones color of skin your should try to get down to the base of the person.
This kid has never listened to Face a day in his life
just jealous fat face oh i mean scarface
“Mac miller is terrible, macklemore is maybe slightly below average nut Miller is garbage”
That’s besides the point. As long as MM can attract fans then it benefits everybody in hip hop. Kendrick Lamar is an example of how success can benefit other rappers. Do you think 50 did a song with Lamar by accident?
what does kendrick have to do with mac miller being terrible? and can you honestly say lil B attracting fans (he does have some) is good for hip hop?
yup
you can disagree with the message that Face is trying to convey all you’d like but be clear to be logical about it. Whether face has a beef or not, he HAS A POINT, if you dont believe that, then you are an irresponsible hip hop fan, i would even venture far enough to say that you are an irresponsible black person. Its true that you can support whatever music you’d like, but if you don’t believe that even the music YOU DONT LISTEN TO and the IMAGES THAT YOUR EXPOSED TO don’t effect you, you are wrong. You will see and hear the artists that are being promoted whether you want to or not. The only way to tune out the public is not to go outside but we gotta eat right? Right, now primarily black people have TWO cultures, Church and hip hop. Believe it or not Hip Hop is in the way you dress, its part of the way you talk,its how you wear your hair, if your black and somewhere in your 0s to 40s hip hop is in you. If you think when white people hear Hip Hop or see an artist that they don’t associate it with you, then you must be ignorant of your surroundings. You have a right to distance yourself from it if thats your preference but don’t dispute the fact that it is influential or write off the idea that it is IMPORTANT. At some point hip hop resolved new york city street disputes, and provided a channel to the social ills of our community, I would even say it did so effectively UNTIL SOULJABOY TELL’EM dropped, shortly thereafter the floodgates were open and rappers(not artists) would be exploited as Marketing tools for the mans RINGTONE sales. Since then it has been used to make money for labels through black artists at the expense of their community. Between the church and Hip Hop white people are essentially in control of OUR SELF IMAGE. If you think, think about it..maybe Face has a point.
he smart he know white run shit
you cannot blame the man for being honest, after all white people hold all the power TRUST ME
yeah they do and they sure as hell abuse it, or at least some of them do, can’t put everybody in the same boat there are good white executives out there, just not so many
yup we do
hey be nice it was us whites that got rid of slavery lol
Dude thats so stupid. THey had to get rid of it because they started it. And don’t you think the black people would have freed themselves if only they’d been able? of course they would have, in a fucking heartbeat.
and no black people dont buy the records of the artists that are promoted because they are out buying all the products that the artists endorse through their music. Do you think its a coincidence that Rick Ross WAS endorsed by reebook, and that REEBOK is a sponsor of HIPHOPDX? Wiz Khalifa…Bombay Gin…HHDX again right? Artist are selected for far more than music in the HipHop game.
scarface who???? just after attention
Ask your God, Eminem, he’ll tell you who Scarface is.
I’ve been saying for a long while — we as black people have been far too inclusive of our culture to sheltered, oblivious whites who are too stupid to know or care what is going on in Black America/inner-cities. At the end of the day, rappers are merely tools meant to sell records to predominantly white audiences. Would the typical white person want to hear dead prez, even though their message is applicable to every black person on this earth? No, because in their privilege, they’d rather hear some frivolous bullshit — in order to make it ‘cool’, blacks must accept it, so they push it on us as a supposedly integral part of our culture.
I’m white and listen to dead prez. You sound like one of those blacks that read the biography of Malcolm X and stopped in the middle before he got shot by his own people.
Im white and I listen to Dead Prez as well. Please dont be stupid.
Its not about the color, is about being stupid, being a sheep, or being awake, being intelligent.
In all respect people get where ur coming from , but thing change and its sad but when a genre gets popular it blends with cultures and hip hop isn’t just a U.S or Ghetto or black thing its changed just like the world changes so for people that resist change thats ok but don’t disrespect a movement that brings people together. Its also racist to put any race into a genre blacks can be in a rock band like Tech9ne or Krizz Kalko The world is changing all the time. Don’t say a genre is only for one kind of people because rappers tour all over the world not just in the ghetto so if its only for the ghettto then keep it there if u want to hate on change and if u have that thinking thats probably where it will stay
White people are so quick to claim racism when we assert (rightfully) that hip-hop music is a black art-form that has been bastardized for cultural consumption by white America. Do you even know what racism is? Racism isn’t some bullshit you can just cry about on the internet — the forces have been in play against my people for hundreds of years, yet we shouldn’t mention it, and let oblivious whites continue to see blacks as merely entertainment… #cutitout
thanks for the propaganda
you can’t just blame this on white executives. if white AND black people didn’t buy the shit they put out then they wouldn’t put it out. the problem isn’t with who’s selling the product, they’re just trying to make as much money as possible. the problem is with the people buying it.
Face is going DJANGO on they ass, don’t get mad White folks, not all Black people feel the way he does, just like 99% of us.
It’s funny you say he’s going django on them because that’s a movie written and directed by a white guy who made an entire career off of appropriating black movies, music, and culture into his films
speaking truth. well no have 2 buy albums anymore. games doctors advocate was my last album lol
As a white hip hop fan I can agree with what Scarface is saying. Look at all the white commercial rappers out there today. It started with Eminem and culminated with Mac Miller, Macklemore, all these crappy indie hip hoppers. The labels definitely took this indie hip hop mutation and figured out the audience it appeals to and are now making money off of it. What these indie rappers are doing is just pretentious bullshit and goes against what hip hop should be….
very true. white people who dont respect the craft & who are in powerful positions have stepped away from respecting & upholding Rap music, mainly focusing on the money they make from an image (artist). Coming from a white jew I listen to Hip Hop & love what the culture represents & how it has given a platform to black artist. I am not offended by his jewish remarks because I totally agree. Too many white & i’m sure some are jewish have ruined a record labels rep, by putting out garbage, kids bop music. I wish these people who owned these record companies would get off their butts & do something about their product because 98% of it is wack. What is even more sad is how so many young fans don’t even know that they are a fan of wack rap. Most of it is just useless art that hip hop could have done without. The artist should ban together & go after the labels & those also higher like Viacom to show they want to have more creative control & give the fans that raw hip hop.
yes because only WHITE people can be so clueless…
TRUTH…hip hop is big,pac,scarface,DMX,LOX,jay-z,NAS,raekwon,ghost,wu-tang,ruff ryders,death row,diplomats,c-n-n,mobb deep,gang star,rakim,ll cool j, krs-one, big pun,fat joe,keiyh murray,redman,canibus,az,Shyheim,shyne,bad boy,naughty by nature, fugees, cormega,nature,tragedy kahdafi,infamous mobb, big noyd,fabolous,joe budden,lloyd banks,ransom,mysone,m.o.p,saigon,papoose,wu-syndicate,jeru the damaja,common,game,dogg pound…
How long did it take you to make that list that nobody will read?
dope list. fuck this hater
fuck ymcmb
fuck mmg
fuck gucci mane
fuck wacka flocka
fuck soulja boy
fuck white boys n fuck u if u love them
Can I just say that white people need to calm the fuck down? Face is not racist, he just realizes that most record label executives are racist, which I agree, since most shit on MTV looks like a bunch of fucking Sambos. If Face was racist, pretty sure he wouldn’t have done a record with ICP. I mean, come on, it’s not hard to find a reason not to work with them. People need to stop calling racism at every provocation, and that goes for all races. That is just helping the spread of it and keeping it alive. Yes, Hip Hop is part of black culture, so is just about every other American form of music. So seriously, just rub the ointment on your butt and shut up. Oh, and by the way, I’m white myself, just a smart one it seems.
Thought this would be the first realistic comment by a black person until I read the last few sentences. Seems these new fake ass Malcolm X’s is the cool thing for them to do, even though they have the whole idea wrong.
Yeah come to look at it most music in America started with blacks (hip hop, rock, blues, jazz), if whites could only play what they had created folk music would be hella popular right now
Thad Reid – The Attic
And yet he features on a song with French Montana
Right. lol
Agree 100% with Scarface. Whites stole Rock music from us and are doing the same thing with Hip Hop. I’ll never let that happen!
god!
Well at least they did some good with rock (Rolling Stones, Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, etc.) They sure as hell suck at hip hop (looking at you macklemore).
There is something so wrong with all of this
crackas catchin’ feelings when the truth is told look at the amount of the comments, over 5 hunna comments. truth is the truth.
all these white allegedly “indie” rappers are fuckin’ gimmicks.
All these? Name me more than Macklemore macklemore Macklemore Macklemore macklemore. Or is that all you meant?
Rapper Big Pooh – Zone out
rapper big pooh – i am the man
I never had a problem with white rappers, mainly, guys like Apathy, RA the Rugged Man, Vinnie Paz, etc. The problem is all these damn sellouts. Sad day when catchiness beats out lyrical ability.
Every time i’m looking at Black man, I’m looking at God.
Face has always kept it one hundred. Niggas nowadays buyin into the same shit that the white old fuckers at the labels force feedin us. Niggas dont realize Feminem was sent out as hip hop saviors by WHITE execs. But them white guys got yall young fag ass niggas to believe Em the goat. Plenty of black lyricists would kill Feminem on the mic but cuz all these white people and uncle toms love ridin Ems dick, he gets too much hype for wack shit now.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
preach brother, preach!!
So who’s your favorite rapper then?
U chat shit about eminem but ur name is ricky rozay, u aint no real hiphop fan, fuck off to hell
Ricky Rozay your retarded af Eminem is a good fuckin lyricist who tha fuck cares if he white or black. Thts like someone sayin “everyone dick ridin lil wayne cause hes the most famous black rapper Eminem could kill him in a battle” Tht logic is retarded af Talent has absolutely nothin to do wit color

louis farrakhan is my soulmate and homie
he’s a cook
yo peace peace we outta here! blesss
I’m disgusted by the amount of racist shit I’m reading in these comments. It ruined my night, straight up. Yall should be ASHAMED of yourselves. Black or white. Don’t fall victim to hate!! It’s up to our generation to embrace one another as equals. It’s a new day in America. FUCK RACISM AND RASCISTS. I love my african american and caucasian brothers equally. Hip Hop saved my life, you’re telling me I can’t be a part because I’m white???? Wish I could see you face to face so I could fuck you up and I say that with the UTMOST SINCERITY. FUCK RACISTS. The hate that lives in you is the same spirit which enslaved your people. Don’t let it consume your soul.
Racism is economical power not social, pick up a book NOW
then again scareface also jew hater natzi
what’s your point? You disagreeing with what I’m saying? Bottomline, fuck RACISM and other similar traits, people who judge, people who abuse power, bullies… If you don’t agree, then go to hell. I do what the fuck I feel while I’m on this Earth. If I want to write Graffiti or Rap or Break, I’ll do whatever artistically, creatively moves me.
I’m poor and I’m not racist against blacks. Your argument is flaw
Yo william doesnt need to comment on hiphopdx ever. check his previous comments, what a fucking dumbass.
And BASKETBALL IS NOW BLACK.so what?
Scarface is not saying anything new. Everyone knows ‘JEWS’ run the music industry. He probably just got shitted on trying to make some new deal where his old “Jewish” contacts was not giving him what he desired and now he’s angry. He should have said something a long time ago.
Since Hip Hop started, ‘whites’ and JEWS have been running the shit. Let’s go back to a guy named ‘Rick Rubin’, remember him? The true problem is, IGNORANCE! Every cocksucker in power in the Hip Hop Community (Russel Simmons, Sean Combs, Sean Carter, Bryan Williams and even Andre Young) sold out a long fucking time ago. FACE THE FACTS HERE! If you mention KIKE in a song like Michael Jackson did, these JEWISH entertainment head honchos will ruin you and make your life miserable at every turn. Oh, even white man Mel Gibson’s character got assassinated being ‘anti-semetic’ too, remember that? But with BLACK artists, ‘nigga’ is said a million times and these JEWISH owned and controlled companies sell the product of music and movies like toilet paper. Can somebody make an album or song named ‘KIKE’ and let’s see how far that goes in HOLLYWOOD!!!
FUQ HUGH
Remember the name assholes!!!!
Alright the Jewish thing is getting really old, why does everyone always blame jews for everything. I didn’t think jews had anything to do with hip hop
This guys “scare-face” about scream Hail Hitler ! get out of here with that jew hating crap.
Scarface is right though. I dont listen to crap(cracker rap) anyway.
Face didn’t say anything about white rappers, only the white executives who control hip hop. Ever listen to any Esoteric? Its not that white people can’t rap its that white people make all the money off terrible rap by all races
ITs your fault “face ” for signing a white “major label” in first place, you solid your own music.
How about we blame the stupid fuckers that support this bullshit? FOH with that racist bullshit…
I see a lot of people saying a lot of stupid things. Of course white execs and world leaders try to hide real MCs from the masses, of course they trying to keep the people stupid and asleep, of course they dont want revolution/struggle/real music selling a lot of records. The problem is: its not only “jewish crackers” fault because the people, the masses are buying that shit. I mean, you can research the internet and listen to good music and then buy that shit.
The problem is people are stupid, and thats why they like to listen to stupid music made by stupid cats like that fat Ross motherfucker. And executives are promoting this shit because it has no content and it distracts the people from the real problems out there. But its not only a conspiracy as Scarface claims, because black motherfuckers are making shitty music as well, and black motherfuckers are buying that shit as well.
But luckily there is a lot of people thats still digging real music, real MCs, whether white or black. Thats why I choose to keep it real and listen to Gang Starr or UGK or watherver the fuck I want to instead of bitching on the internet about fake ass mcs. I try to support good music, and real hip hop buying that shit. And real hip hop is still out there. Cmon: The Roots, OC Apollo, Bumpy & Preemo and a lot of others drop great music on the regular.
Peace!
WORD UP DON!….i hate the fact that people such as scarface and many other rappers think that theyre race is ultimate and that theyre aint no sellouts and anyone to blame about hip hop nowadays..only the white are responsible..thats theyre state of mind…but fuck the racist bullshit…thats theyre plan…keep up seperated..blacks and white and all races…to fight for bullshit…how about scarface blame sellouts like g@y z?or pussys like kanye west?or lil wayne,chris brown and all black pozer bitches that only think about money?daFUQ OUTAHERE
^ You’re kinda’ stupid dude. Jay Z is needed. Last I checked, he was one of FEW who put out quality artist like Jay Cole. Kanye does the same. He is making the RIGHT moves for financial power and NOT wasting his time trying to prove something to cats like you who operate in a small world.
^ and last time i checked dumb fck those b!tch @ss motherfckers are illuminati which control the whole fckin music industry….get ure head out of ya @ss and then take it off the small world you live into…g@y z doesnt give a fck about hip hop…all he wants is to get paid..its another thing if he is good or not…and kanye b!tch promotes skinny jeans and f@ggot clothes(stuff you wear)…next time dont even speak
^ Like I said you’re stupid homie.
ok anonymous asshole…keep talking shit without facts
1st Off G.B.4Life!!!
2nd – I Am Money Emp & I Approve th!s MESSAGE
We have the internet now and he’s saying the record executives dictate what black people are listening to. Haha that is 80’s and 90’s thinking right there. Artists are free to distrubute their music on their own and consumers have the ability to explore the scene on their own instead of having the culture pushed upon them. Blame the black youth for saying things like “Who the fuck is Big K.R.I.T.?” and “If you don’t listen to Chief Keef, you don’t know shit about hip-hop.” Who does he think were the first ones listening to Kendrick and TDE outside of L.A.? The answer is the Jewish kids.
Where are all thee so called Jewish kids and label executives coming from. I have honest to god never met a jewish person in my life.
i dont know what he means by hip hop is white…if he means it metaphorically somehow thats aight…but if he is saying that white people dont fit into hip hop and its just a black thing he can go fuck him self because he dont know the ideology of hip hop…hip hop is to gather all kinds of races and get creative…if he hates white and jewish he can go fuck himself because that shit aint hip hop(hating someone because of the race)…what im saying is i dont listen to lil wayne,mac miller and pozer,pussy nowadays rappers if he dissin them its aight…but if he is dissing the whole white race FUCK YOU SCARFACE!..and first and foremost COMMON AND JERU THE DAMAJA used to rap about this shit in the 90s and nobody listened because everyone is out to make CREAM…so blame the greedy motherfuckin sellouts and blame real mcs like NAS,KRS and many others that give pass to bitches like kanye west,chris brown etc
hip hop is a black culture and face is right..you damn white motherfuckers take every damn thing we invent, then say u invented it…..you white motherfuckers are culture bandits and hate for anybody to call you on it…..what the fuck can a white ass bitch tell me about gettin shanked and robbed and car jacked and livin from day to day. REAL HIP-HOP IS DEAD….WHEN EVER A WHITE BITCH PUT HIS HANDS ON ANYTHING HE TURNS IT INTO FUCKING FIRE WOOD…..JUST LOOK AROUND YOU EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES, NO LONGER WORTH ANYTHING…THE RAP INDUSTRY IS A PIECE OF SHIT RIGHT NOW..IF I NAME THE GREATEST RAPPERS OF ALL TIMES ..NONE OF THESE DAMN KINDER GARDEN ASS NIGGAS WOULD BE IN THE TOP 10….TUPAC, BIGGIE, BIG-L, KOOL-G RAPP, RAKIM, BIG PUN, NAS, JAYZ, SCARFACE, BIG DADDY KANE……….
who you gone name lil weezle, lil bootsie, i mean who…HIP -HOP IS DEAD…..none of these dame white boy rappers will ever be in the top ten greatest of all times…i grew up listening to hip-hop and now its about how much money you make instead of who can make you go home and say, ” damn that nigga said” this and that…now everybody drivin a rorry and pack big guns and sale mo dope than u can think of..when niggas get caught with illegal medicine, “syrup” niggas rat on everybody…so he aint tottin shit….niggas are paper rappers now and wish they were real….the game is over white boy has fucked the game up, with his antics
why dont you shut the fuck up racist asshole?…this starts way back then when eazy e let jerry heller manage nwa and shit and when niggaz wanted so crazy to get a record deal and get noticed and make it and didnt give a fck they just wanted to get paid..the damage has been from back in the 80s but subconciously…where ever money is envolved its not good..and now hip hop is commercialized thats why its not good…at least we got the underground…common and jeru the damaja used to talk about the industry(I USED TO LOVE HER,ONE DAY)but no nigga listened because they didnt give a fuck!they wanted it to be like that so they get money…so dont blame the whole white race dumb fuck…because all races can be blamed for hip hop status nowadays…dont be a fuckin hypocrit and say ure race hasnt done anything…because that industry ruling shit(illuminati)g@y z and kanye bitch are in it!so check yo self..whos fuckin who?
face is telling the truth.
you think it’s someone who cares about the craft/culture packaging coons like trinidad james to the public?
it’s some heartless stiff looking for the marbles.
these artists also are happy to get jerked now. it’s a lose lose. the consumer doesn’t care, neither does the “talent”.
They packaged Biz Markie, Fat Boys, and Beastie Boys too
?love =porchmonkey.
AGAIN WITH THIS SHIT. LOOK idiots- a LARGE percentage of black people either DON’T listen to hip-hop or don’t listen to today’s artist. Do we not live in the same country as whites? Do we not get the same commercials and movies pushed on us as whites?
STOP generalizing blacks as if we all live in the ghetto and have no moral compass.
What’s missing is the BALANCE that hip-hop had in the mainstream outlets. Before you get the ignorant with the positive or party music. Now it’s 24/7 dumb shit. But NOBODY can force you to listen to it.
well said
Scarface has a point but I think both races are guilty of making hip hop look worse. Look at Macklemore those white boys are a fucking joke to say they make good hip hop music. But its tha same wit Black artists like lil b n Chief Keef. Thanks to record labels promoting this music were not raising a generation of people tht are racist towards blacks in hip hop. The record labels are raising a generation of people tht love RETARDED FUCKNG MUSIC wit no meanin behind it
Exactly. But even then nobody is mad ALL THE TIME, and want to wild out and listen to good party music too. People think hip-hop started in the 90’s these days, it didn’t. It was originally fun party music.
ALL YAWL NEED TO GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GO OUTSIDE WERE REAL PEOPLE EXIST.
Face’s anger is understandable … he has legitimate grievances, so I am not going to be sensitive and pretend that he doesn’t a Jewish hip hop head.
With that out of the way, some of the clowns in the comment section are pathetic.
One common tactic for enforcing social orthodoxies is to malign the character of those who challenge them. Those who take even the tiniest steps outside of political or social conventions, as Face has done, are labeled haters or insane. Fuck that. Instead of avoiding the substance of Face’s comments critique them.
Are white rappers, pushed by white record executives primarily motivated by money, diluting the culture and distorting what hip hop is (powerful and thought provoking music, DJing, breaking and graffiti art)? Do these people care about the long-term health of hip hop culture, or are they simply exploiting the culture for their short-term financial benefit?

WHO ARE THESE WHITE ARTIST WITH THE DIABOLICAL PLANS??? Face needs to fall back and come with a more cohesive argument. I’m black, I don’t listen to artist based on their race- DO ANY OF YOU? You’re either dope or your not.
And I also don’t want to listen to HEAVY shit all day. Maybe it’s different with todays generation but I find it quite EASY to listen to Nas, Wayne, Jay, KRS 1, Em, Dre, Tribe, PE, etc. when I’m in the DAMN MOOD to. Nobody forces me to listen to shit.
I’ve got a question to you niggas: if three witches watch three Swatch watches, which witch watch which Swatch watch???
hahahahah wtf
i use to be a scarface fan until reading this now ill never listen to him again he just lost a white fan because he is a racist!! if someone white said that about a black man it would be all over the news rip scarface
good riddance. go listen to macklemore
Yeah… I’m disappointed the racism/anti-antisemitism in this quote. I actually used to cite Face as top 3 for me.
This quote also bothers me because it’s not a thoughtful or honest way of looking at the state of music. It’s been a known fact since the late 90’s that the majority of hip-hop consumers are white. It was only a matter of time (10 years, approximately) for those same consumers to study the craft and create their own music.
Face of all people should know that you can’t control what people listen to. The people just happen to be more open minded about white rappers now, I think.
White man = devil lol
Bottom line these old cats can’t adapt, can’t expand their thinking and like a lot of OLD people they complain about the kids.
And you SO-CALLED hip-hop heads don’t support the artist you CLAIM you like. Period.
Scarface is right, listen to the radio and see the videos that get played on TV. There’s no balance in the music, every song has a similar message and it isnt one that will uplift people, its one that makes them become ignorant consumers cuz we live in America. By mix I mean a Rick ross followed by the roots or talib followed by Drake, just a balance in the musical content
Man you aint never lied!
No one is forcing niggas to sign to labels. If you are talented enough you can do whatever the fuck you want creatively
I agree with face completely. But perhaps he should consider counter-acting the crap music by releasing his own stuff more often. Talking about doing a collaboration album with Beanie that gets scrapped, and releasing a solo album every 5 plus years doesn’t help matters. Don’t bitch from the sidelines; get back in the game!
Nas song “America” comes to mind for some reason after reading this article.
Scarface needs a fuqin treadmill or a hip hop bootcamp.
I totally agree with Scarface. To some people Hip Hop is just music but to me it’s my culture, I live and breath Hip Hop 24 hours a day. I’m older so I was fortunate enough to have lived through 90’s Golden Era with groups like Public Enemy, BDP, Native Tongues, X Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, just to name a few. This was a time when Hip Hop was becoming a black power movement with the African Medallions and knowledge of self and when the powers that be saw the power Hip Hop had they began to buy up the independent black owned labels and then use them to push the bullshit we’re hearing today. Take Public Enemy for example, there’s no way that they would get signed today. They were signed by a black man (Russell Simmons) to a black independent label (Def Jam). But once Def Jam was bought up by them everything changed and they started signing only artists glorifying sex, money and drugs.
Look at the top selling rappers today, who’s not talking sex, money and drugs? Only one comes to mind, Drake. Look at who signed Drake, Young Money which is black owned by Lil Wayne, Baby and Slim. This goes to prove that a rapper who is not only talking about sex, money and drugs can and will sell if he/she is talented enough and promoted properly. You can even use Kanye as another example and notice that he was signed to Rocafella, by Jay Z and Dame Dash. If WE controlled our own culture it would be totally different and these examples prove it but unfortunately these are just two (although among the top earners) of dozens of rappers with the rest all promoting sex, money and drugs. This is no accident, this is by design.
I just read an incredibly insightful article, by a rapper named Homeboy Sandman, the breaks down how the powers that be benefit and profit from this plan. Anyone with a passing interest should read it.
http://hiphopandpolitics.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/jailhouse-roc-the-facts-about-hip-hop-and-prison-for-profit/
Oh, so BDP didn’t rap about violence, sex, and drugs? Haaaaa. Pseudointellectual we have right here.
Incredibly well said, DJ Nitti. Good to know someone is paying attention.
Anonymous- You read that whole thing and all you got out of it was something about BDP? You’re an idiot. Go play in traffic
Its funny cause some of you let the white artist take over your music for example,u all called that twerking and ass claping shit(by most black singers) R&B but when Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke make that real soul love music you all get mad when they get praised for their music.
Then when you some of you hear songs about swagg and mollys snapbacks or tattoos you want to support it but when mgk or eminem rap about their life and get praised for their album sales you all get mad.
Now while you females supporting that bs rihanna or nicki minaj putting out and some white chick come to the music game and rap some real shit don’t get mad at her when her albums blow up and believe me it’s going to happen very soon.
There were always white guys who could rhyme. In the past, however, people thought it was corny. It wasnt rap that you could feel cool bumping. I still feel this way. Unfortunately, the youngest generation loves techno and loves catch shit no matter whos singing it. They all follow eachothers opinions from social media as well.
This is exactly what happened with Rock n Roll, black people turned the Blues into rock in the 50’s then Evis Presley came into the picture and the rest is history.
Why do you think they call Eminem “Hip Hop’s Elvis”
I want to add one more thing. I think white artists will take over Hip Hop or better yet rap, I’m old school so I don’t use the terms interchangeably. To me, Hip Hop is a whole culture while rap is just the music part of the overall culture.
White people will take over rap but it’s not just because of any conspiracy theory, it’s also because they’re going to change it into something that more people can relate to. The “sex, money and drugs” that we tend to rap about can only appeal but to so many people. Music is suppose to touch you, you’re suppose to feel it in your soul, make you think, inspire, console you and uplift and unfortunately we’re not making music like that if all we’re talking about is sex, money and drugs. I just recently saw Ryan & Macklemore’s video Can’t Hold Us and these fucking white boys reminded me of what I love about hip hop. The subject matter, musicality, etc is better than 95% of the rap on the radio. Then as I saw more and more of their older videos on topics such as gay marriage, being poor, drug addiction, etc. I saw the future, and unless we start tackling more universal subject matter and also step up the music (live instruments, real choruses, etc.) they will take over hip hop and rightfully so.
Rap is music and music is more than just talking the same bullshit, over a computer generated drum loop, with an interesting flow, there has to be substance to the words, it has to move more than just your body, it has to move your soul, make you feel something. So if WE don’t use the power we have to make better music somebody else will and we really can’t be mad because to a certain extent we let it slip away.
But even with that being said, Scarface is still right because the reality is that Ryan & Macklemore are independent artists and if they were black they would have never gotten the exposure they have gotten. There’s a lot of incredibly talented black independent artists that will never get write ups in magazines or newspapers or other mainstream media and that’s a fact.
At the end of the day music is music and we may characterize it and divide it and say this is black music or this is white music but in reality music is just music and no group owns any particular genre but if we want to continue to claim rap as our own we have to make the best possible music that touches, enlightens and uplifts or THEY will.
I thought ryan and macklemore is a white guy rapping and a black guy singing? It’s not a white group.
Your comment Nitti, is the best shit I have read on here for ages.
Grats homie
RACIST
Equality…take it or leave it
NOW?!?!?!
Still the slim shady LP…
Two Shots down on the first page of this site and its Vnasty and Riff Raff…Scarface aint never lie
Yall Not Understanding What He Meant..He Dnt literally Mean White As Race..He Is Talking About The Elite (Illuminati..Why Do You Think He Paused..Smh..Get Real..They Want Us To Stay Argueing With Each Other..Race Does nt Matter
They Control What We listen To..But They Dnt Want Us To Realize It..I Think They Saw Biggie And Pac As a Way To Take Over..look How Music Changed Right After That..All This Catchy Music Shit
If what this baller says is true… about making blacks look bad…
Can someone tell me why in the fuck they just did sign up V-nasty to some big money?
This ain’t no conspiracy. It’s just this – retarded shit sells. Just look at jackass. People don’t care about smarts, they just want to be shocked or outraged or have some dramas going on.
It’s bullshit, but it’s an unfortunate truth
he’s 100% right
This is fucking stupid. White people arent making black people look stupid, black people are making black people look stupid when they choose to rap about how much fun it is to be ignorant and start encouraging that image with their behavior. And you know why they do it? it’s not because they’re stupid, it’s actually because they’re pretty smart; that shit sells and they know that shit sells.
if chief keef’s album (a BLACK man who has a record label filled with some really atrocious shit) had flopped and people stopped buying trinidad james then record executives wouldn’t try to sell them. it’s that simple. its C.R.E.A.M., money is the name of the game and everyone knows it. the problem isn’t with the people trying to sell the music the problem is with the culture at large who WANTS that, both white and black people.
this bitch Scarface sounds racist to me!!!! and he ned to go and fuck himself, and yeah rap is going white so what you going to do about it bitch? save it if you can lol
scarface is telling the truth. he’s calling a spade a spade, let’s be honest.
Did those white executives force the words out of those black rappers’ mouths? Get the fuck out of here and take responsibility for yourselves. You’ll never move forward as a culture if you just continue to cop out all the time and blame white people for your own mistakes.
Hiphop music became a popular brand of music. The majority of America is white. Deal with it.
:O How dare people of a specific colour adopt and love a genre of music. To say rap is a black thing is fucking ignorant. Just because predominantly black people started and brought to life a genre it is RACIST AS FUCK to think that it belongs to people of a skin colour. Get the fuck outta here you old fat fuck.
u CRACKERS doubted hip hop when we started it..said it wouldnt last a month..then yall seen how much paper it generated then BINGO everybody wanna rap the LEGEND FACE is correct it is white cuz YALL SHARK CRACKERS STEAL EVERYTHING CHECK YA HISTORY BOOKS STUPID.
@gamestwin is that how you speak in public? You should be ashamed of your racist remarks. Evil has consumed your soul my friend. Hate is not the way. Whites have helped push Hip Hop forward over the years, although they have not been in the spotlight. Rick Rubin, Beastie Boys, countless amazing photographers, journalists, videographers, song writers, studio musicians, engineers, not to mention consumers. We should embrace one another. Don’t just whites as a RACE, but on a person by person basis. Everyone should be treated as an individual.
Ya’ll thnk he’s bitter, but look at the related links under this article…”V-Nasty reportedly signs $750,000 record deal”, and as far as music, she is shit! This is a shame, and I hate to say it, but he’s right.
EXACTLY ….
Hey hey scarface
check yourself before you ruin what credibility you have left
Nobody made black people look stupid in hip hop
YOU DID.. all the black rappers had a monopoly over hip hop and they made themselves LOOK ridiculous
theres only so many times you can talk about bitches and hoes etc before you start to become a joke
Cmon man….
Im not white or black, but hip hop put black people in a positive light… before that most non americans thought blacks were losers … And hip hop gave you a leg up
You’re very wrong. The major labels sign the ignorant rappers who portray the stereotype that blacks are unintelligent, misogynistic, selfish animals. Any why? It’s so that’s what those who don’t much about black people to believe, just like what Face is saying.
It’s all in the power of the labels – they control the industry and what the radio plays and make aspiring rappers attempt to replicate what they see since the biggest rappers are making the most money and appear to be the best from winning awards and reaching the top of the charts. It doesn’t make sense that these lyrically ignorant, no-talent rappers are the most marketable as some people argue. I’m sure that if the more conscious rappers had regular radio play then they’d get more sales than the current commercial ones.
I respect what Scarface has done for Hip Hop, but somebody get this geriatric a fucking tampon!!! That is some ignorant shit to say. If you’re so fucking worried about it, then come out with some new shit. Lame ass mother fucker!!!
fuck this. hes on some prof griff shit. white, black, brown whatever. everyone has been apart of hip hop since it started. The beastie boys, a group of white jewish kids put out an album before the geto boys even put out a record.
When everybody stops makin’ music that makes black people look stupid, and people stop supporting it. Record companies start losing money and they will start pushin’ different type of records. Look at public enemy, de la soul, and a tribe called quest. They all have gold and platinum records. If, we as consumers stop buying Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and all those other retards records, then companies will push different records. Maybe artists like Skyzoo or Joey Bada$$. It all about supply and demand.
….And not race.
What I learn most about white people from reading these mostly white comments, is that they have a massive superiority complex. They’re very self righteous and think they’re somehow “above” the things a lot of ‘black people’ choose to rap about. “How dare they talk about the struggles they had to deal with at the hands of white people, how dare they rap from the perspective a person from a white created ghetto, how dare they rap about having a better life after being deprived of anything and everything their whole lives. They should act like hipsters or pick up a dictionary and use big words to impress us. We control this shit and we should dictate what they do, even though they invented and we’re just guests” lol That’s what you guys sound like to me.
White people have forgotten that they’re just guests in our house. They have gotten WAAYYYY to bold and comfortable with this shit, look at these comments. They’re no longer just buying rappers music for what it is, or accepting it… They actually think they can control it. They feel entitled to our music, as if it’s the natural order of the world for them to take what we have. It’s kind of unbelievable to me. It’s articles like this that remind me why I don’t have any white friends….
that’s sad you have no white friends, there’s lots of good white people out there. Try to stay open minded and judge people on a person by person basis, rather than generalize an entire race. The worst of people comes out on the internet, sorry you feel that way.
Any normal human being is “above” the things SOME black people choose to talk about. Ab-Soul is black he talks about the same things as Gucci man but guess what he has an actual talent and ability also true knowledge not all black people have to talk like lil wayne to be considered “black.” The fuck makes a person “black” any goddamn way. You got some self evaluation to do homeboy.
SMH! You leaches just don’t get it do you? This is a BUSINESS… Labels see that the Urban community (minorities) don’t support or buy shit… They steal everything… So the labels turn around and sign a bunch of white acts because they know white people buy albums… So while they’re slowly taking over a genre created by minorities, they’re making minorities look bad with acts like Trinidad James… That sad part is that you mothers fuckers aren’t going to wake up and realize it until it’s too late!!
Suburban whites who don’t have the street IQ to know the difference between a C.O. and a policeman are still heartbroken that Ross doesnt know Pablo Escobar and that JayZ didn’t lose 92 Bricks.
The Streets and people who listen to music for entertainment don’t concern themselves with weather or not Dr Dre was ever a “Gangsta” or if Pusha T ever sold kilograms or if Snoop ever lived off the earnings of a prostitute….we listen to rap-music for the sound of the instruments and the slickness of the poetry.
Suburban whites listen to our music so they can live out a “Ghetto” fantasy through the lives of our rappers which is why they focus so much on what they perceive as real/fake or fabricated/authenticated…our music is their only means of getting a street education so they actually attempt to believe song lyrics are supposed to be biographical criminal confessions.
I think they should stick to listening to Emenim rap about serial killing or discuss how “fraudulent” it was for Emenim to make racist rap songs and then try to sue the Source Magazine o keep them away from the public.
1 – Nas fans (refuse to realize he fell off after Stillmatic)
2 – Eminem stans (similar to Nas fans, plus they tend to be racist)
3 – Lil Wayne fans (they worship a nigga who sounds like a roach)
4 – Kanye West fans (this nigga ain’t no music genius)
5 – 50 Cent fans (if he never got shot, he would never have fans)
6 – Ross fans (they support a fraud)
7 – Biggie fans (he’s overrated af)
true
DMX would slash eminem into pieces, sweep up the pieces feed them to the dogs, then collect the shit & smear it in his haileys face. DMX is far better then overrated Eminem.
co-sign!
DMX is an overrated crackhead rapper.
Eminem is good, but not as good as Wayne. Wayne KILLED him on “No Love” .
And YES Wayne has done a hell of a lot for Hip Hop. He’s grabbed peoples attention. People who don’t even normally like hip hop, by doing features with other artists from different genres. He’s helping Hip Hop sales. All that conscience rap BS don’t fucking sell. No one wants to hear that stupid bull shit save for a select minority.
Also his songs DO have meaning, and substance and YES ill lines…
“watch me as bust this, lay it down like construction/when I spit the mic get wet cause my voice is like seduction”
^ WHO THE FUCK CAN TOP THAT!? He has storytelling. He even rewrote Eminem’s “Stan” and made it better. Also Wayne is a business man. Young Money has the best collection of artists since Cash Money !!
Black people cannot be racist. Its impossible. Racism is a team sport, GROUP phenomenon by which one group dominates, exploits, or excludes against another for the control of power and resources. It is economic, not social.
Therefore blacks cannot be racist because as a group we do not own anything hardly at all, we do not have enough resources nor the means to deprive any other group of anything at all.
Wrong. I feel what you are talking about is more supremacism.
Racism: The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Example: Black people that assume all white people are “devils”. Thats racist.
What are you babbling about now? Look at the NBA. Look at Hollywood. The tide has shifted and rightfully so, cause it should be about talent, not skin color.
Eminem & Action Bronson all the way 🙂 I never saw Scarface wining anything and he is jealous about whites because they are the best rappers alive 🙂 Look at Lil Wayne how shame on him last album raps about pussy and getting horny all the way to the last song, I mean what the fuck white has to do now they are good at rap and accept that Scarbitch
poor rappers with no substance…em copied nas bronson poor white mans ghostface -also trying to copy ghostface
2013 is going to be an amazing year.
Wayne dropping an album
Drake dropping an album
Tyga dropping an album
Ross dropping an album
Big Sean dropping an album
Jay-Z going broke
Jay-Z is gonna get castrated by Beyonce
Nas is gonna go to jail for not paying taxes
lol There is no black rapper to entertain us anymore, because they all are in prison lol.
So white rap is smart rap and making money rap, and also helping people too 🙂 FUCK SCARFACE
Yep Jay Z
Drake
Kanye are all in prison ..O.K
I agree with Scarface but black people have to take some of the blame. Everybody wants to be “official” and people care more about the logo on the back of the record instead of the record itself. Instead of putting down every artist who isn’t down with the majors as “struggle rappers” and blindly following whatever trend corporate radio and websites shove down our throats, we have to support our independent artists and demand that MCs show a little skill and taste before we accept them as superstars.
Dudes like Drake and Trinidad James don’t care about the hood or our collective struggle, they are merely actors playing a role in a corporate movie. The whole idea that they made it on their own by putting their music out on the web is a lie perpetuated by the corporate media. Don’t fall for the scam, support our real artists and remember that real cats get better with age. We need our young cats but we also need the wisdom and skill of legends like Scarface. He’s not bitter or “old” he’s just someone who knows the score. Respect him!
thought this would be a troll, but no?
Broke old Punk lol look at him (Scarface) he aint so Scarface no is he lol
Eminem is the one
Action Bronson is da two, so fuck the hates
I been saying this for years. They are out to make our race look like complete morons and for some reason the young people are completely blind to that fact. Lil Wayne and Kanye blantantly wear womens clothing, a certified ex cop is portrayed as the biggest mafioso in history, Nicki goes around wearing clown outfits and making insane faces, Trinidad James existance, Futures existance, etc. I could go on. Peoiple need to wake up. How do we not see what is sitting right in front of our damn faces!!
I work as an accountant in Cash Money Headquarters. One day, Birdman told me he talked to Macklemore. Orignally, Thrift Shop was going to be called, Gun shop and talks about impressing people with guns. Birdman then told him that killing people might lead to controversity so Macklemore changed it to Thrift Shop that fits more closely with YMCMB guidelines even though Macklemore’s not part of YMCMB yet (although Macklemore is in talks to be with Cash Money.)
there is no Black Rappers to entertain us because they are all in prison getting arrested and shit, so thank God there is white rap and white rappers are free 🙂
YAWN …ATTENTION SEEKING…YAWN….NOTICE ME PLEASE …YAWN…
Shit is easy to make a classic track. Get a bangin ass beat, get someone that can actually rap or sing (like 2pac, Rozay or Hov), make sure it’s catchy to the ear but isn’t talkin about stupid shit, bang, classic joint. Too bad too many niggas can’t craft a good song.
Bawse!!!!!!!

LISTEN TO HOPSIN! HOPSIN >>>>> TUPAC/KENDRICK LAMAR/EMINEM/NAS/KANYE WEST/JAY-Z/BIGGIE/TDE COMBINED
i always get confused about how people say Ross never lived that life.
He was a CO for ONE YEAR when he was 18/19. He didnt get hot until he was 30. 11 to 12 years later. Who says in that time period that he didnt do any dirt??
Who gives a fuck he perpetuates a myth his a fake ass coon
He should be a fuckin genius then because he went to Albany state first, so you can’t buy the CO at 18 19 shit either, and if true you’re standing up for a backwards ass thinker/poser. Either way he was on swave house first, then slip and slide so where he get the time for any real dirt? If any dirt was done it was done to get approval from basic ass niggas that think you gotta do criminal shit to be accepted by the hip hop community so he actually looks pretty stupid selling drugs after having a decent honest job and a rap career afterwards, your leader is a follower.
fuck ghostface cuz it aint about race now
We would like to thank my friends within the record industry for helping to push the ignorant tom coonery rap played on 99.9% of the radio .
With your help we have seen a four fold increase in our prison population and with you’re continued support we will most surly fill our prisons with more ignorant black folk .
And you my trusted friend know what that means rising stock prices for our dear investors .
Please keep up the good work and if i can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to reach out .
Yours Kindly,
Guvnor Connor
Yes Hip hop belongs to 60 plus old white guys
Black people the dumbest race on earth .
Only black people would dance to music were the so called artist is blatantly saying i can fuck your girl/wife etc .
Only black people would aspire/lust after clothes designed by homosexual white European fashion designers , even though they have said they would prefer certain black people did not wear their clothes .
Only black people think it is cool to dance to music that disrespects women who look like your sisters/mothers
only black people are to blind/ignorant to not be able to see that they are being manipulated again .
I.E certain hip hop record labels are large investors/share holders in private prison complexes ..Do the maths the more of you in prison the higher the stocks/shares rises .
And finally only black people would let their culture be raped and manipulated the way it has been .
Hip Hop started in the streets and it will forever be in the streets, the fact of the matter is. Nobody in the streets is listening to kendrick, only kids from the burbs. i don’t care how lyrical he is, it’s fuckin wack in the streets. Only people in the urban community (not suburban ) should have say to what is dope hip hop and what isn’t, this is NOTHING special. Kids from the suburbs tend to think just because a rapper is “lyrical” that makes them great! 2Pac , Too Short, Eazy E, and many many others weren’t the most complex rappers but they are more legends, why? Because they kept it street. These underground, and lyrical cats can rhyme as many words out of the dictionary that they want and it is still wack in the streets why? Wack subject matter, wack hooks, wack beats, nobody wants to listen to any of that. People wake up, street hip hop (biggie, 2pac, big l , meek, jeezy ) any rapper that reps the streets, YES even Gucci will have more respect than these lyrical cats, because hip hop IS the streets, and if the streets aren’t feelin it, than it doesn’t matter how versatile you are, wack is wack no matter what!
I hate when people make comments like no one in the hood is listening to kendrick, only the burbs.. Have you completed a survey to prove this? How do you know what everyone listens to? It’s all hyperbolic nonsense.
i’m from ATL, and nobody down here listens to Kendrick. only them geeky ass hipster faggots from the suburbs!
So, just to inform you sun you got the whole shit twisted black people like you is confused. Nobody in these streets determines what is “cool” not universally sure dat trap shit might be hot to y’all uneducated blacks running around with tats and going to prison. That lifestyle in reality aint “cool” the black community has dwelved into that lifestyle and it is wrong. The tracks Kendrick makes he pours his heart and soul into you cannot say the same for Gucci man he is the reflection of yo community, then niggas got some serious priority issues.
When are you lame online niggas going to start just listening to the music and stop caring about the a niggas personal life is? Exactly that online nerd shit. Niggas don’t do this shit online i guarantee it. Infact hood niggas ain’t online gossiping. You niggas gossip like bitches.
i’m white and i hate white ppl. i can’t stand them white devils, i hate them to tha fullest. fuck white ppl.
hip hop is dead. crackas killed it.
i can’t trust you if you’re listenin’ “white” hip hop
white hip hop is trash i would feel mad embarrassed listenin’ it. give me that real black shit whit knowledge of self type shit
He is not talking about white rappers he is clearly saying that a large majority of the bullshit rap Ross,Gucci,T James i.e tom coonery rap is being pushed tol the front to keep the myth alive that black people are just walking talking dicks
this is the most openly racist thing I’ve seen on this website
OH NO WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE WHITE PEOPLE
Oh Scar, you racist dumb,
Don’t worry Face, Jay-Z is still sonning all these white wannabe hip hop dudes with his incredible business charisma. It’s Nas’s fault that black people starve, he’s broke and irrelevant, Ill Will Records flopped and Quan is Ja Rule status, he’s a bad example to all the upcoming artists with his lyrical “real hip hop” bullshit.
Your an idiot
And gay…carter
He is not saying white people are the downfall of black people . He is stating a fact that hip hop is run by elderly white guys who’s only interest is pushing a certain brand of ignorant rap . It’s a well known fact that certain record label investors/share holders have worked in conjunction with certain private run prisons to help push a certain agenda . STOP BEING SO KNEE JERK AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES IT’S NOT THAT DIFFICULT
because he is dumb and dangerous. if youll read between the lines youll find racism and jealousy. pac wouldnt be proud
^^^^What part of his argument is untrue^^^ .
Hip hop is run by elderly white guys who control the marketing budgets and dictate what they think will sell .
Hip hop has worked in cooperation with certain private run prisons .
Stop being so precious
so true dumb asses lol
Pac wouldn’t that is such a lame response . It’s like saying Henrietta Szold would not be happy it’s just pathetic
I do agree with some of what hes saying but fundamentally he is wrong because there is plenty of hella nice dope “real” (whatever that is) hiphop around right now. All you need to do is dig a bit deeper and turn off that radio. If people chooses to accept whatever bullshit is trown at them, thats on them. If people didnt buy in to it, the white and jewish or whatever record execs would try to push the “real” shit instead. I blame the people for being stupid as fuck. The easy manipulated drones that want that easy chewed, cheesy, watered down, bland bullshit music outnumber the thinking man 9-1 and Face need to accept that and just step his game up and release more dopeness that might wake at least one more mind the fuck up. Stop blaming everyone else and be a part of a solution instead if you not happy.
i blame these “real” hip hop heads who talk about how bad hip hop is, but when quality albums ( which are geared towards them e.g. Common’s last album)comes out- cricket sound. y’all just complain but do not support. with your support hip hop would look differently, no doubt.
can’t blame people like wayne, jay, kanye,etc.. for making albums for white people. the white people support and these white execs know it and thus will make sound business decisions i.e. tell their artists to target the market which buys albums. simple as that.
deep down though, i slightly agree with face.
how much scarface dumb? hip hop belongs to everybody, and you should be proud of it, not jealous. im white, and jewish, and i also think current white rappers are not that cool, (machine gun, yellawolf, maclamore, mac mil etc…)even eminem is not making music that i like since his 2nd album (slim shady lp is a hip hop masterpiece) but if you think its a matter of color or religon you are dumb and dangerous, imagine justin timberlake says, “this nig*az are all over this pop culture” shocking eh? thats how dumb scar is to me right now. next.
You listening but not understanding the message
lolz …Tee you one angry white guy and your argument is totally misinformed
funny thing is POP is ours too.. lol. Do your homework. White people have created NO form of music. lol Not even country, thats our shit too. lol.
so scarface, a legend of this, can’t have an opinion about hip hop. by the way nas already said this back in mid 2000s, but no one would listen. ” … blacks on some low level shit, …jews in high places…” nas-carry on tradition.
The game ain’t been the same since B.I.G and Pac died
and Wu swarmed on New York from out that beehive
Don’t talk to me bout MC’s got skill
Don’t talk to me bout whose the king of the hill
Don’t talk to me bout whose the best alive or whose in your top 5
Cause he’s not ill
Real recognize real, stick to your deal
Try to make a cool mill off the single
With that ringtone appeal
In 3 years, you’ll be nil
as for dj nitti few comments down: common, nas, big krit, killer mike all released incredible albums in the last two years, but they unfortunatley are not white, the albums were not about violence, money,bitches,etc and all of them albums were albums of substance and critically acclaimed and yet sold peanuts.sorry but colour does play a big part and there is no way you can tell me macklemore is more skilled than any of the above-mentionned mcs. he will outsell prettymuch all black rappers in the next couple of months. just the truth.
That’s precisely the point. It doesn’t matter how good your album is without the marketing and promotion it will only get limited success, sad but true. The record execs will only back and push ignorance. Remember no one wanted to sign Kanye West because he wasn’t hard enough. Think of all the rappers they signed while passing on Kanye, who many now consider to be a musical genius. Now consider who finally did give him a deal, Rocafella, a black owned label.
I strongly disagree don’t blame others for YOUR albums not sellings sites like Hiphopdx and dat piff,all hip hop, promote all styles of hip hop as well as hip hop magazines no white ppl are telling the hip hop community what to buy. its white ppl that buy c.ds I am african american and I buy C.ds you should blame the hIp hop community for being cheap and not supporting their artists. Like the examples I gave you above they are all trying hard to promote hip hop as much as they can..So comments like that you should keep to yourself we’ve come along way to start that racism shit talk again in our music HIP HOP IS FOR EVERYONE!!! for those comments I will not listen or support you just because shit doesn’t pop for you don’t try to drag everyone else down with you!!!!!
Mr Scarface, Please stop upsetting white people they are sensitive little souls
Face seems like the sensitive butt hurt one here… I ain’t mad that trash artists like 2 Chainz are gettin pimped by their execs haha
Yes we control what you buffoons listen too .
Deal with it it’s all about the balance sheet and dividends .
If the kids want Mr Ross,Mr T James etc that’s what we will give them .
We have been working very successfully with the backing of prison share holders since the mid 90s and they agree we are doing a mighty fine job thank you very much .
If you want uplifting/positive rap music then i am afraid you will need to dig for it yourself as that does not fit in with ours and our partners business model .
I totally agree with Face. I can’t beleive the shit I go through living in LA and I know what I see on world news going on in Chicago and shit like Mac Miller, and Mackelmore is getting spins and selling like hot cakes? Even more disturbing record companies would rather promote a TV sitcom star from Canada talking about how he “Started From The Bottom” then to promote anything talking about the problem or solution or even telling their story. The closest we come to the story being told is 50 Cent or Jeezy. Both of whom most of the time they drop something new critics say its wack or cliche and has been done before. The problem still exist!!!!!!!! Right on Face! In the words of Ice Cube, “pretty soon hip hop won’t be so nice, no Ice Cube just Vanilla Ice”.
If we want to quote ice cube lets do it. “Sometimes I believe the hype man. We mess it up ourselves and blame the white man.”
He said sometimes he belives the hype man. You can beleive it sometimes.”Get rid of that devil real simple/ put a bullet in his temple”.
“Don’t point the finger you jigaboo, take a look at yourself you dumb nigga you”.
You got way more on your side though. I agree with a good portion of your original post but I don’ t think there is any conspiracy, record companies are going to put out music they think sells.
“There’s no one to blame–but US”. The consumers. Someone buys this shit.
No one cares if these whites disagree Scarface is just saying the truth…Look at the hiphop these white are doing…souless
Its funny i dont know one black dude that listens to real hiphop..the closest theyll know is nas and shit ask them about kweli or sadly today even who the fuck scarface guranteed they dunno. But i know plenty of black people that love 2chainz and know a bunch that have tried to convince me that wayne and ross are amazing.
the problem is that it became to superficial and pop over time, I think it has got better the last couple years because from 04-2010 it was even worse. You got dumb white and black rappers, I think the black ones are even worse because I hear them on the radio when I turn it on, gucci,waka,2 chains. Drake isn’t horrible but I turned on the radio and he was on damn near every song,It’s all fashion,bravado and girls. On the other side it’s all drug sales and being hard.
This isn’t new. Hip Hop flipped white when white women figured out they can dance to it. You will never see white women get up and dance to 36 Chambers.
“If skills sold, truth be told, I’d probably be
Lyrically Talib Kweli
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
But I did 5 mill’ – I ain’t been rhyming like Common since.”
this is the UNDISPUTED top 5
1.Big boi (Most consistent rapper alive)
2.Rakim (Best flow)
3.Scarface (Real OG, King of the south)
4.Andre 3000 (killed every guest ft)
5.DMX (realist rapper alive)
kill yourself
really bro? I gave MY list, not your list dumbass
Respect for that list; personally I don’t think Big Boi or DMX is top 5 material..
Mines, no order;
2Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem
Dmx is def top 5 material. Platinum twice in one year. Personally Id put x as the number one in that list
That’s easily disputed fam…
oh shut up scarface you crying fat faggot
funny coz yo mama fat
white dudes are a dying breed hurry up and put out your work before times up
‘Face if that is how you feel, fine. We’re all entitled to our options. However, not all of us are in the position that you’re in. You’re a legend in this game. People have mad respect for you and what you do. You could release a mixtape expressing your options. You talk about the craft and how you don’t want other people to dictate what we hear, yet you can’t release a fucking album. Why is that? Because you feel people don’t want to hear you? BULLSHIT! It’s because the “white man” won’t cut you the check you feel you rightfully deserve. So it’s not about your fans or the culture. If it was you would bless us, your fans, with a tape. Look at E40. Look how much music this man releases. The Jews can’t stop him. But shit, lets face it- it has ALWAYS been the jews that have owned these major labels. So fuck all has changed. You sound angry because you feel you’re not relevant anymore. If you were to release records like 40 you could tour every year. But no. Fuck up and stop your bitching. Make music and let it speak for itself.
Face you fcking hypocrite. You just did a song with corny popstar Beyonce. Shows you do corny shit for money too.
Rock N Roll, Jazz and now hip hop, you only need to look at the history of black music to understand how hip hop got co-opted by corporate and mainstream America. Hip Hop use to be the voice of revolution, now its straight unintellectual, garbage, passive and a minstrel show. As soon as the mainstream touches anything they take all of the soul out of it.
Kendrick’s not minstrel. He’s real raw and creative for 2013 standards.
Well I feel its all about the money and the tops try to sell to the majority.
Also Scarface did the same thing as soon as he put his name on paper and took 500k to sign to a major label. Its all about the green, and now he is hating on someone one who is about the money.
A little hypocritical I think.
All in all i do hate pop hop and the way things are turning but music flows with what the majority of fans are liking. If you hate it then just listen to the dope mc’s who haven’t went with the flow of evolution and remained true Hip Hop, like those on independent labels and self owned or underground

fuck white people
fuck illuminati
DMX the realest rapper ever
Scarface is a racist bitch fuck him.
Eminem, RA The Rugged Man, El-P, Yelawolf sheeit even Macklemore are dope white emcees. The list goes on… Beastie Boys etc.
You can’t say white poeple fucked up hip-hop that’s on some plain old racist shit right there. Scarface will be protected by the community anyways, cause he’ black and cause he’s a legend.
Fucking hypocrisy.
For fucks sake . He is not talking about white rappers !!!!!
what you white people destroy everything you touch. not hip hop though
why does it always have to be about race? but if he wants to talk about race blame black people. there the ones that decided to record hip hop in the first place. the moment rapper’s delight was recorded thats when hip hop REALLY went mainstream because hip hop before that was against the mainstream and really about the CULTURE. it went from being only popular in the south bronx to becoming worldwide. it was about the block parties, djing, mcing, breakdancing and graffiti, NOT about recording. it was their own thing and wasn’t controlled by record execs or “white people”.
I heard that the hip hop comminity wasn’t happy about Rapper’s Delight becuase it wasn’t raw but what would you have suggested, that the rappers never recorded and stayed poor?
no not at all. i was just being technical to what scarface was saying in the video.
how is what face is saying racist when it’s the truth. remember he is not going at any white rappers. the truth is that hip hop is owned by whites who have no idea (mostly) about the culture. “anytime we mention our condition, history or existence, they calling it reverse racism..” nas
face has been around the block for a minute and seen it all and was just commenting. no racism here, just the truth. so fuck off with all the racist talk!!
White people shooting down scarface and acting overly sensitive because he stated the fucking obvious .
Hip Hop is run by 50/60 yr old white men .
The agenda is not about the musical integrity it is about the stocks and shares .
A large majority of the hip hop music out makes Black people look like dumb buffoons .
What part of what he said is untrue
lets be real: there are many more white people in this country than blacks. As I said earlier, it was only cool to listen to Eminem before(when rap was good), and every other white rapper was corny. There were always talented white guys who could rhyme, but could they make a complete cd?
Ive slowly watched others around me start to like guys like Wiz Khalifa, CHief Keef, and Rick Ross. People like whatever is pushed on you, and also now, they like whatever is TRENDING. Its all about social media building your buzz. Talent DOES NOT REIGN SUPREME anymore.
white folk been doing this shit for years, They did it to blues, they did it to Mo Town, they did it to the rock and roll and now they are doing it to HipHop. Dont worry, HipHop has changed believe it or not and the only ones still listening to that bullshit are the same ones making it. lol
Wow you white hip hop listeners are really oversensitive i thought it would be a good thing to have less of the 2chainz,Gucci Mane,French Montana(his not french) etc
Why are white guys posting things like Eminem is dope Ra the rugged man is dope .. Of course they are their hip hop ..
But the people in control of what makes a successful artist is blatantly being more and more dictated by middle aged white guys pushing their 60s and 70 s .
And you say black people are oversensitive about race
But those record execs have been there for a long long time. I think social media and youtube have hurt the industry because it opens doors for songs like soulja boy-superman to become huge and then soulja boy receives a big deal. People arent signed from fuckin battle raps anymore, where the top lyricists get deals. Now the labels can sign guys that already have a ton of fans worldwide, and they just distribute it. Blame people and social media for not flocking to the good shit.
Jerry , that argument holds little weight it’s not social media that has hurt the industry if anything that has made it a little better as at least we don’t have to only rely on the record stations force feeding us garbage all the time . We can now find artists with a little digging around ourselves .
Don’t full for the myth that Trinidad James,Gucci,Ross only got big once they hit the social media radar .
They fit in nice and snugly with certain peoples marketing plans
Its just funny that you can make a statement like that and everyone agrees..but if anyone were to say that urban music is pushed on white youth they would be called racist.
You idiot, it is and always has been pushed on white youth, haha…
The moms in the 80’s and early 90’s were against that shit but it just made headlines for groups like 2 live crew and sold more records.
It’s mainly white youth with the stronger buying power .
I.E suburban white youths are more likely to purchase music and it’s been that way for a long time .
I get the feeling you didn’t even listen to his interview you just got suckered in by the main article headline
( That my friend is called marketing ) And if you had listened to the interview you would have realized that is what is wrong with current hip hop it’s all marketing gimmicks with no real substance
You’re 110% correct, but remember what audience you’re commenting amongst. For example… Think of the last 2 presidential elections. Nobody knows how much Obama is destroying good things we have here in America. They had a larger black voting than ever in history, simply because the president was black. Nothing more, nothing less. And to black people, or should I say the majority of, color of skin is ALL that matters. It’s sad, but true. If you’re going to argue against a point a black makes it’s better do it somewhere/somesite where people have an open mind. Everyone hear is set on their beliefs/ways and debating does nothing other than entrench them deeper in that belief.
I think you will find that whenever a democrat is up for election their is a strong bias amongst minorities to vote for a democrat rather than a republican and it has been that way since Kennedy .
And i think the same would hold true in rural America for a white republican .
To be honest i don’t really see what your above argument has to do with anything … Anyway the next American president will be Latin
^^ ya you right but dude make a point. that’s all we do.
Why are black people so racist?
because its advantageous for them to victimize themselves
Scarface was highly praising Rick Rubin in his other video from the same interview. Rubin is a JEWISH music producer so stfu. People like you just jump to such idiotic conclusions with as soon as you hear race involved.
^^ I apologize for my idiotic comment. I wasn’t thinking straight when I typed that last one
i digg wat face is sayin’….most of the new shit comin out is dumb rap hip hop for dummies…..niggaz that talk about true shyt real shyt about uplifting ourselves dont get no shine….no air play….u gotta talk dumb and act a fool to make it these days monkey see monkey do…
You can thank Soulja Boy, 50 Cent, D4L, and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON
everything that nigga said was real
White people couldn’t stand half the discrimination that blacks face everyday. That whole racism is dead thing is one of the biggest insults that racist people are putting in peoples minds. Even though there is blatant racism everywhere you look, more and more whites are saying that only blacks are racist. LMAO!! The very concept is utter retardation. To the whites, whens the last time you were walking down the street and the next thing you know some cop pulls up, throws you on the hood of a car and unreasonably searches for no reason while blowing cigarette smoke in your face??? Oh, thats never happened to you??? Funny, it happens innocent black youth DAILY! But the blacks are the bigots right?
Sorry about that last post but I’ve been up on crack for days. I used the last of my welfare check to purchase it but let me say that it is worth it. Back to my previous post: I meant to say while there is racism everywhere, blacks are just as if not more racist than whites. Not ONLY whites are racist. Thank you.
Thank you for proving my point. Your comment assumes I am black and then immediately sterotypes me as a crackhead and a welfare recipient because I am black. Thanks for putting the racist white mindset on display for everyone to see.
@johnboy- if you walk down the street n cops stop you like that either 1) you got the most racist cops in all of america or 2) you consistantly do stupid shit with friends, get introuble and cops know you now so you get fucked with (ill go with 2)
lesson- stop doing dumb shit and you wont get ‘harassed’ by the cops
My comment is not what made me assume I was black. It was the way I only speak negatively about whites. @LOL – nicely played! I hate it when other people are right but at least I respect you for telling the truth 🙂
Ahhh. The people responding to my original comment are completely validating it. ‘LOL’ says the only blacks harassed are doing something stupid. This is once again sterotypical racism saying that all blacks are doing something stupid and racist cops are not the problem. Statistics already show that most victims of Stop and Frisk are NOT arrested or caught with ANYTHING. Go ahead and check the stats.
In all honesty though, I am also validating what they are saying. Funny how the world works. Racism only exists towards blacks. We all voted for Obama because we like his policies and his outlook on the economy. ** correction to that last 2 sentences, I was looking at the stats of them white folks, not us blacks. oops.
Over 50% of the male population is white. Over 70% of the male population incarcerated are black. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. it’s because they always are NOT arrested or caught with ANYTHING. OH well, whether we in jail or on the street, we still living off the white taxpayers. We winnin up in here
70% if blacks are in jail bec 65% of them do shit to be deserve a jail cell..(5% bec im sure some people are in jail on bs)
congrats you live off white taxpayers..and black, and asian, and hispanic.. as black ppl love to say this isnt just a white country its everyones.. hope you spend that 200 dollars evenly?
Thank you for the congratulations. It’s not everyone’s country FYI, it’s blacks. I did spend that 200 dollars but not evenly. My food stamps cover my food so I didn’t need to use it there. I spent 128 dollars on baking soda. 9 dollars on spoons. 45 on crockpots. 7 on electricity, and 14 on baggies. But I’m gonna get it eventually.
IT’S A DAMN SHAME HE RIGHT
It isn’t going white necessarily, and no rascism but there are many hood rats that listen to trap (Chief Keef ect) and YMCMB, as well as wiggas that do
rap is weaker now, but there is some good stuff, at least there are more versatile, more breeds and ground breaking artists
face got a point
Black people really need to stop victimizing themselves
heres a few tips black people to help you better in society
1) stop breaking the law
2) stop selling drugs
3) stop using guns and killing people
4) go to school
5) get a job
6) join the army
7) NOT EVERYONE WILL BE A RAPPER STOP FUCKIN RAPPING, ESP WHEN YOU SUCK!
this is a list of things you can do to better yourselves..white people can accomplish that list for you. if you get trailed by cops its usually bec if you do dumb shit, are known for dumb shit and cops (whos job it is to arrest people doing illegal shit) will fuckin arrest you.
black people you hurt yourselves more than a white person ever could. this is for the ni**ers not for the actual black people (difference)
sink or swim WHITE PEOPLE DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU DO!
You just took ten minutes out of your life to post a bunch of racist sterotypes about blacks and then ended it by saying “WHITE PEOPLE DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU DO!” Well obviously yo silly ass do give a fuck. Why else would you respond??
it took not even 1 minute, im a fast typer. and i dont have work so im scrollin some hiphop sites bec i love rap.. but the one thing i can stand the most is when someone or people cant take responsibility for their own bullshit and throw it on another person or persons. all black ppl do is blame white people for their fuck ups.. this aint the 1940s no more its 2013.
Never mind, I get it. You only responded because you want to be a troll and argue about something that doesn’t matter, just like me. Lets just agree we are both worthless.
and what i mean by white ppl dont care what ya do meaning white ppl dont care wether your rich or poor, racist or not, or blame them or not.. white ppl get their money regardless. you can be racist and blame the white man for you broke situation OR.. you can do what your entitled to in america, go 2 school, get a good job, get money and love yourself..
I don’t want to work. I am content living off your tax dollars.
well then all the racist comments you ever recieve in your life are well deserved. if your white your a piece of white trash, if your black your a ni**er, if your spanish your w.e racist name they use for a POS spanish person..get my point>?? bum.
now shut up n go ask your mom for 5 bucks so you can get a nick
Why are the well deserved? because I’m content living off your tax dollars? why does that entitle me to racist slurs? If it were slurs based upon my action(s), that would be acceptable. But by saying that gives people the right to be racist towards me, you’re being racist yourself. Such a pity.
My mother was shot when I was 4 years old. But good crack at a hood joke. you tried. My check comes in on the first so I’ll just hold off til then.
you live off the taxpayer instead of grindin for your own money however it maybe be..your a bum and lowest scum in the earth. peace
Now see, that argument held some merit and it was at least applicable. I AM a bum, and I am SCUM. regardless, you are working and paying for me to do drugs. #winning!!!!!!
white ppl CANT** accomplish that list for you*
black people think they have it so bad in america and dont realize the opp. they got in america. go to other countries if you want to see what livin bad is like.. like in africa, middle east, korea ect ect..
black people always bitch and complain. just shut up your free get money and be quiet
yes they got into America by force to become slaves…
the “opportunity” available in America is only present because black people worked for free to build all of the industries that created wealth here.
@ KE — slaverys been over for hundreds of years..get with 2013 or die.. black people and do anything white people can (by bitching) that arabs, asians and hispanics cant..
black people couldnt be any bettin a position that white ppl. doctors, business minds, sports..but black people keep complaining.. you never hear arabs complain about it..we just grind and make a name for ourselves in AMERICA!
^ You really believe that fuckboi? When was the last time you saw a rich black person that wasn’t an entertainer??? One nigga out of a hundred gets out of the hood without being a rapper or ball player; that’s not equality by any standars. Be black for at least a day and then you’ll know why they complain. It’s very easy to talk shit when it’s not you getting beat by police.
ive seen chef owners, business owners, construction workers, doctors, police offers all black. 1 ‘nigga’ out of 100 gets out the hood bec that 1 actually does something instead of smokin bud, chasin bitchs and fuckin around all day. if 99/100 did that you would be better off..but instead of fixin it you just still blame white ppl like we make yall do dumb shit, chase bitchs and smoke bud all day?.. beat by police stop it, everyone gets fucked by cops now adays and if u get harrassed by cops its prob a reason for it..i know respectable black ppl who never get fucked w by cops..
meant for my name to say @mudar ..im not mudar
@immortal – You think those stats you are giving are by coincidence? finish school, take a loan out, and go to college like every other race. Fuhckboy you need to get a clue.
As a white rapper myself i would say he makes a VALID point..if you really think about it dont whites/jews also run the country? im for all races and cultures and what he said made ALOT of sense..him speaking out against them makes him a very strong person..noone else would because they’d be jobless..theres alot of crooked shit goin on in the industry if only we had an MLK president instead of an Obama.someone whos for ALL of us and isnt just looking out for there self.
Scarface is just mad because his album don’t sell.
Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Kayne west, even Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj are selling a lot of album. Hip Hop is not about race but about quality.
Your golden Age is gone. Or you renew yourself and get better, or you just quit.
In any case stop b*** around.
Nas? wayne acts white hes a skateboarder now.. nikki wants to be a barbie..ross and kendrick are puppets to much crooked shit goin on to explain,people of all races are mental slaves..YOUR FAVORITE WHITE RAPPER,OHMY
Im disappointed in all the hatred and racism on this site. this is supposed to be hip hop, so because Scarface wants black people to do better he is “victimizing” them? Because he said the word “white” all u vultures want to come out of the wood works and trash black people? Most of the stereotypes u guys are even presenting are the ones that mainstream hip hop force feeds us so is Scarface really so far off? Do you think that the damage caused by slavery/ Jim crow/ cointelpro/crack/ the prison industrial complex goes away because some rappers got rich? Black people were promised 40 acres and a mule for slavery and received nothing. Jews never shut up about the holocaust, but they got isreal right? Coming down on the black for a situation that they have been thrust into is just wrong, even when you observe negativity in the culture it would benefit you to pay attention to all the contributing factors.
not even that..its just white people are tired of hearin about black ppl holdin themselves back then when they realize it try and make it seeem like its white peoples faults..instead of takin responsibility? whats scarface gonna do about this? nothing hell just blame white people instead of the hoods and people who actually make this music..black ppl. white ppl just listen we dont tell black ppl(some) 2 rap like retarded 5th graders
to not even ^^ I apologize for my initial post. I was mad and we as a black people have one option when things don’t go our way and that is to blame whites. While I still believe it, I shouldn’t have posted it that way because racism that existed was ended by the time most of us were born. We shouldn’t be bringing something that ended tens and tens of years ago up still.
to bring it up on rememberence is one thing, but to consistantly use it in this time an age against the other race is crazy, esp when your 40-50 and younger and never even prob experienced real racism. its 2013 if your not like 40-50 and older you didnt grow up needing to use a different bathroom, or restraunt aka real sl racism..
10s n 10s of years ago? slavery ended in 1863? so unless your 150 years old you dont know what real racism is like from not using bathrooms and restraunts the same to real police harassment, to water hoses and bad holmes.
and if your under 30 you should never be able 2 use the word slavery in defending yourself.
I’m sorry that you are white and will never be able to understand this, but, we as black people do not care about what you just said whatsoever. If something goes wrong, or we’re not happy, we blame whites. If you have a problem with it… .well, too bad. thank you for your time. Please go to work and give the government some money for me. thanks again.
you can blame whites, my point is WE DONT CARE! lol you dont understand, white ppl dont give any fuck about what a black person does with their life or says against us. blame rich white ppl or not we get money n focus on ourselves and ourselves only.
and you dont need to care what i just said, its all the truth whether you take the advice given or not is up to your dumb uneducated ass.
didnt this nigga come up off gangsta rap? last i checked niggas still made drug dealin music its just trap now and not conscience? the lrics havnt changed its just dumber now. idk wtf scarface is on but young money gets run by black people and you still get SHIT like weezy and meek songs
At the end of the day the Hip Hop That I grew up Loving is slowly fading out of site. It once was a colossal industry where you had to have props to call your shit Hip Hop, now it is populated with crap loops (cos they never full songs!!) Talking about how they made it. Scarface is right it is run by old white dudes that are diluting the business.
while i do somehwat agree with him but theres more to it than that. u can argue that white ppl control the record labels and radio stations which brainwashed ppl with watered down hiphop. at the end of the day though part of it is choice to listen and support. there are plenty of black djs and execs who promote the same knowingly.
and another part of it is actually making the lyrics and music. white ppl have 0 part in making todays trap music unless your MGK but hes not rly trap
yea true forgot about the rappers basically everybody in the industry gotta take responisbility
he bringing up “culture” and we on a hip hop site, SUPPOSEDLY.
why no one talking about what’s going on in places like chicago right now? rappers have nothing to say about that culture? nah, but go on and post another skit related to chief keef-whatever…
“Hip Hop Is Ja Rule Now” .
Ja Rule-Nation
Now I am all for good conspiracy theories… but this is just absurd. Record companies have always been run by whites or jews from the start of hip hop! Even pro black, 5 percenter, nuwaubian type anti-white rap has been on labels owned by whites or jews… hey scarface thanks for mentioning the obvious! Blame the dumbing down of americans in general for the garbage that is out today. Americans on the whole will never, ever be conscious enough to make a ras kass or non phixion album go platinum.
All I see here is very simple minded people squabbling over little petty stuff. Blah blah, racism, blah blah.
Why blame the record execs when you can blame the consumer, the masses, the dumb, deaf and blind? Its up to you to know the ledge.
Nicely said!!! ^^^
Hip hop was not run by whites in the early stages Andre Harrell and russel Simmons ring a bell.
rick ross- black, 2chainz- black, gucci mane- black, cheif keef- black, lil wayne- black, meek mill- black any other dumb fuck from the south who raps like an idiot- black
get the trend? black ppl make stupid music and get mad when white ppl push it and get the young black kid money?.. stop making stupid fuckin music if you dont want it out there???
Wrong! Those people make that kind of garbage music because there’s a market for it. If no one bought 2Chainz, Rick Ross,etc type music, they would cease to record it.
So you have to wonder why is there such a market for it? Who’s pushing that as opposed to pushing rappers like Dead Prez?
black people AND white people under like 20 both want trap music and like trap music..its a generation thing more than a race thing
GREAT POINT ^^^^^^ you obiously know whats goin on,im sick of hearing b.s. rom these mental slaves..EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE OR LET THE WORLD DIE IN FLAMES!!!
Try again – one of the best argumented comments I’ve came across thus far
you feel me though? its like black folks can go anywhere in the world they want but fuck themselves out of an education and a job and blame other people instead of themselves for fuckin their own free lives up! ..crazy ness
white people want to tell story by their view they don’t want us to remind them how we suffer by their fault remenber we din’t land on the hood the hood landed on us everything his made for the white man to express himself and when us black man find something to expressed ourselve they try to take it away from us and when we try to claim it they say were racist were is the culture of hip hop white man took our african heritage when they brought us here and when we create another culture they want to take it away from us remenber when you know your culture your free by taking away our culture we got no identity the white man want to change our mentality cuz he think his ideology his better then our a rapper is a artist and when your a artist your the reflection of the society and what the mainstream is giving us is not the reflection of the world how can you pretend being a true emcee without talking a stand
unless your 60 years old you didnt suffer shit.. shut up
@proud – stop with the excuses. Yes we all know that this happened in our history and how our culture was taken away from us, however stop with the blaming ‘white man’ crap. This is 2013 and as an individual and as a community you/we have the power to make decisions and raise our own standards. You mentioned ‘the hood landed on us’ – does that mean everytime I go through certain parts of Brooklyn/Chicago/Philly/Baltimore/DC/Detroit etc and see the living conditions it’s all the ‘white man’s fault’? We as the people who live in those communities also need to take responsibility – why is it everytime I go through those neighborhoods I see trash, graffitti,RIP tags, gang tage etc? Why don’t we as black people living there begin by keeping them clean, sweeping the streets, having community watches for crime etc and taking pride in where we live as opposed to going on youtube/worldstar etc and arguing with each other about which city/neighborhood is more ‘real’.
I can gurantee that the majority of black youth today would quicker go to a Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Jeezy show than go to Malcolm X remeberance day or even something to do with education even if its free!
My last point (not to put you down) but look @ some of the grammar and spelling in your post. You expect to get a high quality job with grammar like that? But then you’ll blame the white man that you can’t get a job. Improvement starts when you/we raise our standards and become interdependent as a community as opposed to the dependent state that we’ve been in for generations. Bless.
@stop it,,,,,,Stop it,,,,,have you every heard of institutional racism,,it’s systematic,,,,,you don’t have to be 60 and over to experience,,,,fuckery,,,,percentage wise,,,a few black rich folk,,don’t amount to shit,,,,no excuses,,,just the truth
@word- then get a fucking job and be a productive member of society.. over and fuckin out!!!!!!!
(most) black people are over entitled, cry babies who blame white men when their broke and cant get their life going just to make themselves feel better.
fuck you racist motherfucker! and im white.
Scarface is absolutley correct. If there was no market for Rick Ross, 2Chainz, Trinidad James, they wouldn’t exist. Rappers become rappers to make money. There is a certain type of music that is broadcast on the radio and it ain’t Talib Kweli or Dead Prez.
There is a profit margin associated with keeping a certain type of rap popular. Consumerism at its best. Girls spending their rent money on Michael Kor’s purses, the brokest of broke brothers trying to find a way to get a Bentley. The clothes, the shoes, the false image that someone working 9 to 5 couldn’t possibly afford. Do you really think the record companies want you listening to Dead Prez telling you to eat healthy, stay away from drugs and educate your kids? There’s no money in that.
“what does kendrick have to do with mac miller being terrible? and can you honestly say lil B attracting fans (he does have some) is good for hip hop?”
You retards always get things backwards. Mac Miller is good for hip hop because he knows how to generate hype. That same hype is also good for Kendrick Lamar. Lil B has to release an album and show he has a career first before he can be considered good for hip hop.

You have to consider the context of his comments. Yes, Face is trying to get under the skin of the Major Label Executives, who are admittedly overwhelmingly older white men, but he is primarily voicing his concerns to the Black Community. This here is barbershop talk. But, his comments are a bit strident, and definitely offensive to non-black hiphop fans and non-black rappers. But importantly, I do not think Scarface is racist, and I do not think he “dislikes” white rappers and is against white rappers. Claiming that his comments are fueled purely by racism is dismissive. Perhaps he has his commentary is both timely and poignant, although a bit tone deaf.
He mentions a possible conspiracy to eventually produce a white-washing of rap the likes of which have already occurred in older genres such as Jazz, The Blues, Rock Music, and I think that’s it. Is this point deniable? If you think this did not occur then we can’t begin to have a discussion about the matter. I believe it did happen. But an important question becomes: was this transformation a “bad” thing or a “good” thing? I say both. But first, many black artists, in the post-integration era of each genre were marginalized (less business opportunities and exposure) due to the tendency for white artists to be more prone to mainstream acceptance. This is bad. I think that if the same were to happen with rap, as is the “emerging trend”, eventually many up-and-coming and current black rappers would lose leverage and marketability and eventually be marginalized.
Now there are a lot of caveats, one being the fact that America is more diverse now. And a more diverse populous, or group of consumers, should yearn for diverse market of hip-hop artists. Although, when looking at recent album sales, those consumers who purchase albums tend to be consuming those of white artists more than black artists at the moments (e.g., Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Macklemore, Mac Miller) with the exception of Kendrick Lamar. Perhaps this is because the market of black hip-hop artist is a little suspect, meaning they lack quality (i.e., they are garbage).
As Scarface cynically pointed out, perhaps the music executives are intentionally watering down, and dumbing down, the market of black hip-hop artists, so that hip-hop fans will eventually have to be forced to choose between black-artists who are a mockery of the artform, or white artists with substance and skill. Again, I don’t think we have reached this junction yet, but I think with the emergence of artists like Gucci Mane (sorry Gucci); Chief Keef (sorry Keef); Trinidad James (although I think he’s fooled executives into thinking he’s less informed than he is); and a slew of other “main stream” rappers, this trend is slowly taking shape. This could evolve into a discussion about whether the Music Industry Executives are “taste makers” or “appetite appeasers”. I think the former, but I digress.
In short, I think Scarface raises a valid point, that should be a wake up call to the black community, and not be perceived as an assaut on those hip-hop fans and artists of different backgrounds. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the black community to stand up, develop their own record labels and means of music distribution, so that they control the quality of their portion of hip-hop music and also determine their future role in hip-hop. We need more TDE’s. Moreover, the black community needs to support real, organic, hip-hop because at some level we the consumers determine what flies or dies in any music industry.
I’m still not cool with how he expresses himself but I do appreciate your in-depth analysis. Now it’s obvious with rock & roll, but with jazz and blues, to what extent were those really white-washed? I know they became a lot more integrated, but if someone says “blues musician” or “jazz musician,” the first thing that pops into my mind will be a black face. I guess I’m a little biased myself, because when I go to the library to pick up jazz and blues CDs to rip, I automatically gravitate toward the ones with black people on the cover. Of course I’ve grown up in a more racially conscious generation, so maybe that wasn’t the case 50 years ago. But just to start the conversation from the beginning, when people say “We don’t want hip-hop to go out like jazz and blues,” how do they mean jazz and blues went out? From my perspective, those genres seem like success stories in having invited talented musicians of all colors without losing their racial identities.
Anyway, it seems unlikely to me that that could happen to hip-hop because the culture as a whole is so conscious and so overt about it’s racial identity. Even white dudes who get in have to show respect for that fact, hence dudes like Brother Ali that are more pro-black than most black rappers. Like you said, it’s a more diverse generation than in the past and, for better or for worse, people are more sensitive to racial issues. I would bet most white hip-hop fans appreciate the fact that it’s primarily black music, in fact that’s part of it’s appeal, and record execs are no doubt aware of that, too.
Lastly, I don’t believe in letting the consumer off the hook for their own choices. If everybody in the hood is copping Jeezy, then goddamn it, it means they want to hear Jeezy. I don’t understand it, he has no appeal for me personally, but I don’t buy any conspiratorial brainwashing shit. No billionaire Jewish executive created a Waka Flocka Flame, nobody could make that shit up. If these dudes want OUR money and don’t care how they get it, WE’RE responsible for what we choose to spend money on.
i feel like your theory of consumers having to choose between black or white because black artist make “garbage” and white artist who have “substance & skill” is hella off base.
MAN SUCK A DICK WHAT YOU SPITTIN KNOWLEDGE NOW FAKE MUTHAFUCKA THESE CRACKAS GOT NIGGAS LIKE PUPPETS AND DICK SUCKAS LIKE YOU NEED TO BE SHOT ON SIGHT FOR THAT FAG TALK CUZ AS SOON AS THE SHIT POP OFF WHITES GONE STICK WITH THERE KINDS THATS THE MAC MILLERS, YELLA WOLFS, AND M&MS AND BLACKS GOING TO RUN WITH BLACKS. TRYING TO DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE BOY I WISH I KNEW WHO YOU WHERE AND YOU WAS IN GA BRUH CUZ WE WOULD DRAG YOU CRISPTY CRACKLY COON!
^^^^^^ I have no idea what I just said. Sorry that nobody can understand what I wrote. I dropped out of school, I have no job, no life, but I can put words together on blog sites in capital letters at the SAME DAMN TIME.
Pac said it best: “If they could be black, then they would switch.”
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Pac got shot because he was an idiot, but you’re right. EVERY man should aspire to be a worthless steaming pile of cow dung who would rather steal, do drugs, talk about b*thces, kill, rape and ON and ON and ON than do something with their lives. EVERY man should aspire to do that, black or white.
Pac was the biggest phony of them all. I would definately stop quoting him.
Y’all really think these rappers nowadays are this stupid cause they want to? The LABEL tells them what to do, they’re just a bunch of Uncle Toms who’ll do everything the slave master aka record label executive says. That’s why I respect independent MC’s so much, ain’t nobody controling them
So, at what point do the ign’ant ass rappers that spit that materialistic, community-destroying, women-hating, drug-dealing bullshit (and that have been since the 80’s) have some responsibility for their words and actions? Gimme a break ‘Face. You’re a certified legend but never forget that house-cleaning starts at home. And that means these thug rappers need to get their own house in order before blaming someone else for the poisonous garbage they preach.
nicely said. Glad somebody finally did!
MAN ain’t nobody making you fools listen to anything. GROW UP and stop coming up with conspiracies. IT’S BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONEY idiots not RACE is the driving force.
Business men DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR LITTLE FEELINGS. Stop buying what they are selling then they’ll just sell what you do like. PERIOD.
But people are forced to listen to it cause it is pumped through radio stations constantly. When I turn on the radio I dont hear Kendrick. I hear Future and 2 Chainz cause thats the trash they are stuffing down peoples throats.
then go out buy kdot and other good shit and you wont have to hear 2 chainz!!
Damn John-boy, whoever kidnapped you and forced you to listen to Future and 2 Chainz must be a terrible person….. or you could buy a K Dot CD and support the artist so they will play him on the radio. The music industry is mostly driven by white middle class TEENAGERS that can’t understand the message portrayed in hip hop. It’s not so much race as age that dictates what is played on the radio, which is why all the radio plays is “hip-pop”
screw both of you. I can’t afford to go buy an album because I don’t work.
Finally someone speaks the true. Instead of complaining about conspiracies, people (black white or aliens I dont care) should buy OCs and Apollo album, they should support Immortal Technique. But no: they re here bitching about the state of hip hop instead of educating themselves and supporting the real.
I meant, finally someone speaks the TRUTH!
I understand what Face is saying. The overall root cause is the fact we never owned our culture. We gave that to the corporations & record labels who were willing to pay the $, but the catch 22 was the control of the gimmick. It’s been going for over 20 years, but just like a disease, it just manifests over time. In the current time, I can’t even be mad at the white exec’s…it’s the dumb ass black folks who continue to allow the communities to make a mockery & disgrace of itself. Look at everything in the last 7-8 years! It’s a fucking Minstrel Show. TV shows like Love & Hip Hop?? That’s nothing but a bunch of Black & Hispanic whore/jump offs and niggas & bitches think that shit is poppin? No it’s NOT poppin! Wake The Fuck Up!
That’s the damn truth period. If you can’t take it go back to your pink-collored fairy tale world.
Racist or not, this is the truth in its most beautiful form. If you can’t admit it even if it’s right in your face, guess who’s the racist…
I notice that when a black man speaks truth there is a lot of people angry with it.
I just wish that a black man would actually do this someday.
TRUTH and “FAKE NIGGAS and CRACKAS” don’t want to hear how this shit has change.
It’s funny when white people get when the point is raised that they don’t belong to Hip Hop culture and were never a part of it. Since the crashed the party the music has consistently gotten dumber and dumber. When white people listen to rap they gravitate towards the ignorant stuff because that what they want to be down with and/or party with. Becky’s buy Lil’ Wayne albums and view Riff Raff videos. They don’t support music with a message because the message isn’t for them.
Sorry I couldn’t make a more valid argument. I never got out the hood or went to school :/
Well it’s never to late Braniac. Go back to school. Learn how to read and write, and maybe one day you can hope to be Drake.
I wouldn’t say white people gravitate toward the shit, I would say today’s youngsters of all colors gravitate toward the shit, but thats on white executives for pushing the shit on everyone so still problem
I think you re the dumbest motherf***** in this site. Im from southamerica, but you should go to Europe and see what kids are listening to in Poland, Germany, Sweden, France, etc. They listen to 2Pac kid, they listen to The Roots, they listen to Preemo and Bumpy Knuckles, they listen to Gang Starr. Theyre not listening to Lil Wayne kid. So…f*** you
“I dropped out of school, I have no job, no life, but I can put words together on blog sites in capital letters at the SAME DAMN TIME”
Plus you sound like you live in a laundry mat. That type of environment can’t be healthy for you. Ja Rule tells us not to judge people. That’s called Jarulism.
“They don’t support music with a message because the message isn’t for them.”
“I notice that when a black man speaks truth there is a lot of people angry with it.”
^ truth to the thousandth power
Ain’t no way you can say Scarface is lying, all you have to do is watch the HHDX comment section for a day and see for yourself. A reminder, they get the same content as 2dopeboyz and nahright. Look at how different the core base is.
Scarface doesn’t owe you a thing. He can lie to your face about anything he wants and as expected you’ll lap it up.
See, fuckin Illuminati done pissed Scarface off… shit.
Or is he mad that his boy Future got pimped by record execs to the point that he went from “promising 3rd coast rapper” to “autotuned piece of shit”?
is it black people never take responsibility? you guys wanted equality got it in 1850s and 150+ years later still pull the racism card more than any race ever and the ‘this isnt the slave days shit we moved back then’ then at your convience use the well u enslaved our great great great great great grandmother/fathers card thats why were so fuckin stupid and cant do what every other race in the world does..go 2 school get jobs and live honest lives?
also in hiphop first its this isnt for white people, this is black culture blah blah.. now bec hiphop is wack with no meaning and bullshit being spewed its oh blame the white people HAHAHA
you sad fucks
“I blame everybody who came before right now, including myself, for the conditions of what it is. I think the people that came before me taught me and if I couldnt reach nobody else, then I didnt do my job. I shouldve been a little better about the way that I laid my blueprint down. So I have nobody to blame but myself for the conditions of Hip Hop today.”
^ you can leave now woody
It wasn’t just the slavery, it was the ongoing racism and discrimination that continues to this day. Try to be less defensive and a little more empathic, you’ll never really understand because your people have never been discriminated against, but pretty much EVERY visible minority (Asians, Arabs,Latinos etc) can relate to be fucked over by White people.
Let’s get something straight. White folks may have went to school, got an education BUT by no means are the honest. They are the most crooked, evil barbaric mother fuckers in the history of civilization!!!
never been discriminated against? seriously, bec white people get discriminated against EVERY SINGLE DAY by every single race bec of shit that happened hundreds n hundreds of years ago. were not them and your not the people who got discriminated against, time to get over certain things and move on..
White get discriminated against everyday? Are you serious?
White people get hated everyday because they have discriminated against everyone else. And there’s a difference between being hated and being discriminated against
how is there a difference? white people get shitted on everday from fucks who we helped out.. w.o slavery blacks would be surrounded by flies in a pond diggin up diamonds. sounds racist as fuck but its the truth where would you rappers be without white people?
black people are the most racist people in the entire world, followed by us, followed by chinese and arabs..
ps white ppl been tryna make up our mistakes for the past 200 years.. black ppl has every single advantage that whites do..if anything arab muslims and asians got it twice as worst as blacks and 3 times as worse as whites..
black ppl need to shut the fuck up and either take advantage of the situation their ancestors put them in or die..who cares
FUCK THIS RACIST SOUR JEALOUS NIGGA HES JUST MAD HE BROKE AND IRRELEVENT
all you have to do is look at the article, scroll the comments and see scarface is right
ja rule would whoop diz niggaz ass.
Scarface’s comments may not please the PC, but I’m in total agreement with him. Sure, there are many fine white hip-hop artists, but the scene is now aimed at outsiders who don’t fully understand or appreciate our culture. There are many things I would like to divulge on this intriguing topic, but the issue of race is a contentious one and there are no winners because we all view the world through our insular, subjective prism, so everyone thinks their argument is the correct one fails to acknowledge any merrit in their opposing candidate. The only thing I find staggering is how many responses this story has generated. Most hot topics on DX reach triple figures, but the huge numbers here is unprecedented. It leads me to believe the vast majority of people posting here are not regular contributors and surf the net looking for stories such as this one so they can vent their venomous frustrations on Black people, and feel better after spewing bile. Resect to Scarface again for not being afraid to speak the truth. Salute Black man.
or ppl search the net find something they can slam white people for again even tho its bec of their own fuck ups to spead fuck white ppl speech?
goes both ways

Good post bruh..
Scarface is a legend. He is right. Hip-Hop is white. After a while the future kids won’t even know how it came about. Like Rock n Roll…yall think Elvis pioneered that and he ripped off Chuck Berry. Country music is a rip off of Blues and the list goes on… never forget where it started
why is hiphop white? bec its wack right now? so much for your proud stick thru my culture thick n thin attitude black ppl USED to have
it all started with ja rule you ignorant homosexual.
this isnt really about hip hop and skin color, its about Ja Rule.
so fix it then scarface..
Just so we’re clear…KENDRICK= Platinum but NO radio play..but yes CONTENT
Every1 else besides drake is wood. the people have spoken..they support good music, the industry is currently unwilling to provide them with it.
IDK where you are from but kendrick gets played all day here in new york. Bitch dont kill my vibe remix is on every 15 minutes. Poetic justice is on ever more than that.
He’s not platinum. Calm down.
k.dot is not plat..yet.
but white ppl and black ppl love this dude. we just need to change this GENERATION of rap not the color of rap.. i know hella black and white ppl that like garbage rap, just like i know mad black n white ppl that like real shit like nas, kdot, eminem, black thought ect, ect ,ect..
once we get back to the roots of hiphop itll be good again..its a generation thang
“Most hot topics on DX reach triple figures, but the huge numbers here is unprecedented. It leads me to believe the vast majority of people posting here are not regular contributors and surf the net looking for stories such as this one so they can vent their venomous frustrations on Black people, and feel better after spewing bile”
^ this adds credibility to Scarface’s statement
it’s deeper than rap
Sorry I meant Questlove not Scarface. Questlove the porch monkey is ON Jimmy Fallon tonight!vvm
Plus more shallow than first expected.
White suburban kids love the ignorant stunting rap shit and are the reason why those records go platinum. White suburban kids make up around 3/4ths of Hip Hop/Rap record sales. They consider the lifestyle conveyed in “hood” records to be a spectacle and they are either ridiculing black folks or in awe of them. Black folks see those records going platinum and all of the attention and even worship towards those rappers, and they strive for it. It has been a cycle perpetuated since the dawn of Hip Hop. The dollar has been paramount for a long time. While black folks are blinded from worshipping the dollar, they left the floodgates unattended. There ain’t a problem with non-black people getting in on Hip Hop–at least, there shouldn’t be. The big disappointment is in the fact that black folks didnt care enough about creating a rock solid structure of checks and balances to maintain integrity in all possible aspects of Hip Hop. If such a system existed, there would be people of all colors getting in on Hip Hop without any bitter or disgruntled significant people from either side. Scarface knows all of this, as it shows in the last sentence of this article, but he let his emotions get the best of him at the the start of his statement.
“The big disappointment is in the fact that black folks didnt care enough about creating a rock solid structure of checks and balances to maintain integrity in all possible aspects of Hip Hop.”
^ naw man
They tried. Really did. Kidd Kidd in the other article said it’s political out there.

ja rule is bigger than hip hop!
ja rule is bigger than skin color!
Sorry I meant Questlove not Scarface. Questlove the porch monkey is ON Jimmy Fallon tonight! who is ja rule?
What culture? That went out the window as soon as we accepted gangsta rap. Where’s the culture when men are rapping about killing, drug dealing, and disrespecting women?
Sorry I meant Questlove not Scarface. Questlove the porch monkey is ON Jimmy Fallon tonight!vbb
I totally agree with Scarface. To some people Hip Hop is just music but to me it’s my culture, I live and breath Hip Hop 24 hours a day. I’m older so I was fortunate enough to have lived through 90’s Golden Era with groups like Public Enemy, BDP, Native Tongues, X Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, just to name a few. This was a time when Hip Hop was becoming a black power movement with the African Medallions and knowledge of self and when the powers that be saw the power Hip Hop had they began to buy up the independent black owned labels and then use them to push the bullshit we’re hearing today. Take Public Enemy for example, there’s no way that they would get signed today. They were signed by a black man (Russell Simmons) to a black independent label (Def Jam). But once Def Jam was bought up by them everything changed and they started signing only artists glorifying sex, money and drugs.
Look at the top selling rappers today, who’s not talking sex, money and drugs? Only one comes to mind, Drake. Look at who signed Drake, Young Money which is black owned by Lil Wayne, Baby and Slim. This goes to prove that a rapper who is not only talking about sex, money and drugs can and will sell if he/she is talented enough and promoted properly. You can even use Kanye as another example and notice that he was signed to Rocafella, by Jay Z and Dame Dash. If WE controlled our own culture it would be totally different and these examples prove it but unfortunately these are just two (although among the top earners) of dozens of rappers with the rest all promoting sex, money and drugs. This is no accident, this is by design.
I just read an incredibly insightful article, by a rapper named Homeboy Sandman, the breaks down how the powers that be benefit and profit from this plan. Anyone with a passing interest should read it.
http://hiphopandpolitics.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/jailhouse-roc-the-facts-about-hip-hop-and-prison-for-profit/
did you just say that drake isn’t talking about sex, money, and drugs? what in the actual FUCK are you talking about?
Sorry I meant Questlove not Scarface. Questlove the porch monkey is ON Jimmy Fallon tonight!bv
this post is pretty dumb. young money is black owned as is arguably the best example you can give of making sex/money/drugs popular.
either way… yeah, white executives take advantage of shit and push the garbage that they know will sell. but you put a black executive in the same spot, and theyll do the same thing. unfortunately its the way the world works
Speaking on what you said about the “powers that be buying up the independent black owned labels”…you can’t really blame the white guys for it when the black guys that owned the labels willingly sold it to them. If this is the angle some want to take with this argument, blacks are just as much at fault as whites with the destruction of hip-hop. i’m not hating on them for taking the money, just stating that if keeping it black was important to them then they shouldn’t have sold their companies. money was more important than the culture to them though. honestly though, i think blacks and whites can coexist just fine in hip-hop…it’s close-mindedness like Scarface’s statements that are fucking it up worse, making it a big racial issue. I mean, the dude contradicted his previous statements. i’m a white guy and i love hip-hop and study it and could talk about it all day, but we gotta all get along. like it or not, white people are a part of hip-hop culture. we are cemented in it just as much as black people. one of the greatest of all time and highest selling artists is white AND he gets respect. but he also stayed true to the game, didn’t pimp himself out like these artists today are black OR white. Scarface is making himself part of the problem instead of the solution. let’s all be part of the solution. not to be corny but we can stand united or we’ll fall divided…
I want to add one more thing. I think white artists will take over Hip Hop or better yet rap, I’m old school so I don’t use the terms interchangeably. To me, Hip Hop is a whole culture while rap is just the music part of the overall culture.
White people will take over rap but it’s not just because of any conspiracy theory, it’s also because they’re going to change it into something that more people can relate to. The “sex, money and drugs” that we tend to rap about can only appeal but to so many people. Music is suppose to touch you, you’re suppose to feel it in your soul, make you think, inspire, console you and uplift and unfortunately we’re not making music like that if all we’re talking about is sex, money and drugs. I just recently saw Ryan & Macklemore’s video Can’t Hold Us and these fucking white boys reminded me of what I love about hip hop. The subject matter, musicality, etc is better than 95% of the rap on the radio. Then as I saw more and more of their older videos on topics such as gay marriage, being poor, drug addiction, etc. I saw the future, and unless we start tackling more universal subject matter and also step up the music (live instruments, real choruses, etc.) they will take over hip hop and rightfully so.
Rap is music and music is more than just talking the same bullshit, over a computer generated drum loop, with an interesting flow, there has to be substance to the words, it has to move more than just your body, it has to move your soul, make you feel something. So if WE don’t use the power we have to make better music somebody else will and we really can’t be mad because to a certain extent we let it slip away.
But even with that being said, Scarface is still right because the reality is that Ryan & Macklemore are independent artists and if they were black they would have never gotten the exposure they have gotten. There’s a lot of incredibly talented black independent artists that will never get write ups in magazines or newspapers or other mainstream media and that’s a fact.
At the end of the day music is music and we may characterize it and divide it and say this is black music or this is white music but in reality music is just music and no group owns any particular genre but if we want to continue to claim rap as our own we have to make the best possible music that touches, enlightens and uplifts or THEY will.
what your just said touched exactly what music should be on.
but you got to understand black rappers heavily outweigh white rappers..so if u got awhite rapper than can spit like macklemore than he will get attention..its just when u hear white rappers they got something to say..when u hear black rappers now adays its just trap shit.
but kendrick lamar rappers get their due..so hiphop leaning back to good days
Sorry I meant Questlove not Scarface. Questlove the porch monkey is ON Jimmy Fallon tonight!sss
Pretty sure Tech N9ne is the most successful independent hip-hop artist…well, ever. Pretty sure Tech N9ne is black. Just saying.
@Assassin221 You’re absolutely right, what Tech N9ne has accomplished, independently, is incredible and proves the point exactly. Why is Tech N9ne not on mainstream media? He’s obviously been tremendously successful and has a huge following, so where are the magazine covers or articles, radio spins, or TV interviews and performances? If he was white he would definitely be getting a lot more shine. Google Tech N9ne and Ryan & Macklemore and see who’s covering them and yet they’re both independent and keep in mind Tech N9ne has been doing this for years and all it took Ryan & Macklemore was a couple of years to get mainstream media’s attention.
All I’m saying is that with all things being equal a white artist, of any genre, will get more exposure than a black one and anyone that doesn’t agree is just lying to themselves.
I see Tech’s name and interviews all the damn time…but my only source of news is HipHopDX so I guess I’m biased. Hadn’t heard of Macklemore until maybe a month ago, still only heard the one song. He’s dead in the middle of his 15 minutes, though, Tech’s been building an empire for years. And one of Tech’s biggest assets is how “different” he is, no pop hits out of his camp even when they do feature T-Pain or whoever. I’ll be interested to see who has the bigger buzz 5 years from now.
And honestly, what white hip-hop act besides Eminem (and the Beasties, in their own way) has ever made a serious, long-term splash in hip-hop, ever? Vanilla Ice is a joke so played out it stopped being funny. House of Pain was dope and down with a tight crew, and still couldn’t stay relevant for even 3 years. Bubba Sparxxx…I’m surprised I even remember him. Yela and Mac Miller are semi-successful, but can’t seem to break past the level they’re at for shit. I’m gonna need to see some more hard evidence before I’m convinced the face of hip-hop is no longer black.
Absolutely true
Damn scarface cant we all just get along? regardless of skin color as long as that motherfucker is making good music and puttin on for his fans then why not? its just a part of the game and genres and music evolve. we all got the right to do what we want record label or not

sad day for hip hop. all time great blaming the jewish people for his current irrelevance. I guess scarface prefers a segregated society. It’s a definite smack in the face for a lot of people that came before him. Hip Hop has always been composed of many sub genres and regional influences. I’m sure this knowledge isn’t lost on someone like scarface he’s just bitter that he no longer takes up the space in it that he once did.

I keep seeing people say the white teenagers listen to terrible hip hop and “like” it, or some version of that. While I am a white teenage college student and I would like to just say that that is very, very true. I walk around my dorm room and all I hear is 2chainz, Meek Mill, and Lil Wayne. So despite the fact that I would like to say it ain’t so, it is so, and its a shame

Damm I would suck this nigga dick in a heartbeat.
DAMN WE BITCH ALOT
WE STEAL EVERYTHING
White people couldn’t stand half the discrimination that blacks face everyday. That whole racism is dead thing is one of the biggest insults that racist people are putting in peoples minds. Even though there is blatant racism everywhere you look, more and more whites are saying that only blacks are racist. LMAO!! The very concept is utter retardation. To the whites, whens the last time you were walking down the street and the next thing you know some cop pulls up, throws you on the hood of a car and unreasonably searches for no reason while blowing cigarette smoke in your face??? Oh, thats never happened to you??? Funny, it happens innocent black youth DAILY! But the blacks are the bigots right??
You just sound ignorant as fuck. You talk about how u hate racism then go on bashing whites . Get over your fuckin self ..all of you ..dont be mad because white people can fuckin rap better than you . Ur all fuckin butthurt that white people finally got their foot in the game . Hip Hop is gonna evolve …and if u stand by it as much as everyone claims they do ..then they will shut the fuck up ..get ur bitch ass in the studio and make something better . Stop blaming white america for ur fuckin problems .
so who’s to blame for the stop and frisk program in NYC because blacks ain’t make that law
from half of your posts i alwasy see all over hhdx id say ur the kind of person that does shit for the cops to fuck w u
Im white and in Argentina the cops stopped me and put me in jail for marihuana posession without any argument. Im not saying that I suffer racial discrimination. I know black people in america suffer racial discrimination from the crooked ass cops. And I hate that. But Im just answering your question.
Peace!

Where’s Ja Rule on your coveted list?
FUCK KENDRICK LAMAR, J. COLE, 2 CHAINZ, ODD FUTURE, LUPE FIASCO, MEEK MILL, WALE, DRAKE, WIZ KHALIFA, BIG SEAN, KID CUDI, B.O.B, MAC MILLER, YELAWOLF, LAUGHTERHOUSE, MACHINE GUN KELLY, ASHER ROTH AND ALL THESE WACK FRESHMEN RAPPERS THAT SOLD THEIR SOUL TO THE DEVIL.
FUCK EMINEM, JAY-Z, RICK ROSS, LIL WAYNE, KANYE WEST, DR. DRE, DIDDY AND NAS FOR MAKING SONGS WITH THOSE WACK RAPPERS.
KILL THE ILLUMINATI! THEY KILLED PAC, EAZY-E AND BIGGIE! ONLY DMX AND BEANIE SIEGEL REMAINED THE TRUE WARRIOR FOR THE KILLUMINATI SOLDIERS!
LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC LIKE IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, LOWKEY, K-RINO, DIABOLIC, APATHY, CELPH TITLED, VINNIE PAZ, SEAN PRICE, HOPSIN, MC JIN, NECRO, CANIBUS, INSANE CLOWN POSSE AND ALL THE REAL UNDERGROUND LEGENDS!
Your entire existence in any context of a Hip Hop discussion became invalid and completely null in void at the very moment you told people to “listen to real music” like Insane Clown Posse. Almost your entire list of “real music” is enough to make Scarface make racist anti-white public statements again.
I agree with Scarface but black people have to take some of the blame. Everybody wants to be “official” and people care more about the logo on the back of the record instead of the record itself. Instead of putting down every artist who isn’t down with the majors as “struggle rappers” and blindly following whatever trend corporate radio and websites shove down our throats, we have to support our independent artists and demand that MCs show a little skill and taste before we accept them as superstars.
Dudes like Drake and Trinidad James don’t care about the hood or our collective struggle, they are merely actors playing a role in a corporate movie. The whole idea that they made it on their own by putting their music out on the web is a lie perpetuated by the corporate media. Don’t fall for the scam, support our real artists and remember that real cats get better with age. We need our young cats but we also need the wisdom and skill of legends like Scarface. He’s not bitter or “old” he’s just someone who knows the score. Respect him!!
SMH! You leaches just don’t get it do you? This is a BUSINESS… Labels see that the Urban community (minorities) don’t support or buy shit… They steal everything… So the labels turn around and sign a bunch of white acts because they know white people buy albums… So while they’re slowly taking over a genre created by minorities, they’re making minorities look bad with acts like Trinidad James… That sad part is that you mothers fuckers aren’t going to wake up and realize it until it’s too late!
Urban black purchasing power is so strong that they’ll target that demographic for everything else except the music they make? I’ll give you some time to see how foolish you sound.
Notorious B.I.G.
Another B.I.G. act. The biggie bad flosser, mafia don Frank Blizzard, moves his pinky and youre dead, ****in girls all around. Yeah.
And then you get to know him and you realize that he was a dude who never overcame his Edips complex, being mamas huge boy at age of 25. Not to even mention that he was an incredibly smart dumbass, a straight A kid (thats gangsta) who ****ed it all up for standing up on the corner and being a small-time dealer. Maybe he was autistic or something, because at age of 22 he showed intellectual level of a fresh teen, frustrated because of his fatness (asthmatic, goddamn), depressed rebel without a cause with suicidal thoughts.
But, okay, he at least had balls to say how it is on his first album, but until second he just became another in the line of mediocre bling rappers utterly bored with their life. Not to mention that somewhere in the process he almost completely lost his ability to rap in legit sentences.
When it comes to sex c’mon, who was he fooling? Someone that fat cant at all, I mean how can anyone get to his dick through those hundreds of pounds of jelly fat? Noticed how every fat rapper loves to brag about his sexual escapades? Theres a very simple reason: they dont get any. And, because Biggie was obviously still in puberty, he had to make up all those stories with and Manila trilla to impress his classmates. So, lets sum up why Biggie sucked: because he was a depressed fat ed-up lying lifetime adolescent mamas boy. Content?
Rakim
What makes Rakim such a great MC? Does he leave you wordless with his vividly told and intense stories? Not quite. Is he capable to make your jaw drop with displays of honesty and soul? Even less, bruh. Does he create muy controversia with smart and on point political statements that make you think whether you like it or not? Uh
So whats left? Bragging about the mic? Oh well I could even stomach it, if he could at least prevent you from falling asleep with that. He physically cant put any stress on words, his throat is made in such way thats impossible for him to ever raise his voice. Hes actually unable to switch his flow up. He just goes on n on for days and days with that limp delivery. I mean, his whole career sounds like smoothened-out A Milli.
You want further proof? He OWES his career to Eric B. The point is, Rakim never fell off. But while Eric B. was able to find dope ghostproducers in an era when you could actually make original compositions from loads of samples, propelling Rakim to stardom, just look what happened when laws forced production to be dumbed-down. I repeat, Rakim didnt change a bit during that period.
Oh yeah, also a problem he didnt change a bit. Trying to sell same **** that was in twenty years ago.
Jay-Z
Ooh, S. Carter, the swaggering ultra-rich cocky mother****er everyones jockin’. Well, lets scrape under that surface and what do we find? A po’ thick-lipped small black dude with inferiority complex so huge it cant even be cured.
Hes so insecure about his lyrics that he constantly has to bite other rappers lyrics to be sure he has at least one line worth the listeners while. Hes so insecure about his albums that he must put out one every year cause hes eaten inside by the doubt that if he waited more than 12 months, listeners could as well as forget he exists. Hes so insecure about his appearance that he constanly needs to repeat how cocky he is just to convince himself that he isnt a total weenie. Hes so insecure about his sound that he always has to run with whichever rapper or producer is hot at the moment. Hes so insecure about his clique that hes lately actually avoiding to be seen with them, ’cause he cant sleep thinking if they suit him or not.
And he got only in one real beef during his whole career, where this inferiority complex made him flail. Sorry, in all of his disses he came more like Nas fanboy than a person who wants to get at him. All of his disses came in a matter of weeks after Nas shots came, while Nas even let it all bubble for months before coming out. And he was literally left WORDLESS with Ether, he broke down on radio when asked about it. And he failed even at ****ing Nas baby mama.
Eminem
So what in the world is so special about this cracker? (Yeah cracker, a white trailerpark * from KC is a cracker.) We have already too much shock rappers walking around talking **, thank you very much.
He made a celebrity out of his wack self bysaying controversial about doing shrooms and asking kids if they like violence. A real menace, worrd. Then he went out on dissing every single teeny-pop star like himself, that knew they wouldnt respond. Yeah, thats real mothering ****, battle rapper, controversy, excellent stuff, Id sign him on Aftermath too. 70% of time he comes out as a just substance-less, soul-less cursing machine with bleached hair (Nazi, anyone?).
What about other 30%? Then you have his other side of hisself, the soft and tender father of a baby, loving, thoughtful and politically engaged. Dont you have the feeling like you just squeezed a huge chunk of horse ****? Yeah, thats Eminem. Either that stinkin’ you wanna vomit or that schmaltzy that you wanna yeah, vomit again.
PLUS! He swapped The Way I Am lyricism for Fack.
T.I.
T.I. is the king of South.
Thats it. What more can you say about this dude? Did he ever reveal anything else in his raps other than that hes big swaggerin’ king with his street side? His whole career could as well be called How to say youre the king of South in 103 ways. The number is prolly smaller, cause he sometimes repeats himself but, man, you simply cant avoid it when you ran out of things to say with your first song.
Oh yeah. You can say one more thing about him. Hes sure to jump on whatever bandwagon rolls by at the moment to increase his sales, including auto-tune singing, that greasy sell-out. And is he biting Jay-Z for appearance?
Nas
Theres been so much said about Nas these days on this forum that I dont know what can I say about him anyway. Well, lets switch the script a bit and talk about his flaws, not his sins.
For starters, he completely deserves comparison with Rakim, as he always raps with the same flow no matter what beat hes on. But hes even worse, Rakim cant switch it up; Nas can, he proved it already on One Mic. But he sticks with that played-out declamatory spitting because its easy, and hes such a great man and lyricist he doesnt need to care how to present himself, lazy mother****er.
Then, he absolutely loves the smell of his own dick. Nas is actually Peter Sellers, didnt you know that? He can be whatever you want, he can be a Colombian mafioso, or street prophet, or mainstreamish version of Killah Priest, or a revolutionary who gets old, all while keeping his swaggerin’ and flossin’. And whats even worse, hes lame and unconvincing in most of these attempts, because you FEEL hes trying so hard not to be him. And I simply dont understand why, if he kept his career in Illmatic vibe hed be at least equally successful, if not more, and everyone would love him.
I cant escape this feeling that Nas is actually a chickenshit, a scared-of-life yes-man, who avoids standing for himself and rather listens to whatever whoever says to him, MC Serch, Steve the Commissioner, Destiny, Jigger, whoever. Hes just a chicken who tries to squash all beef and even kept his mouth shut when Pete Rock ****ed his girlfriend, or Pac checked him in the park back in 96. I’ma put out a diss track, now if you dont wanna problems just keep your mouf shut then and then maybe we chill. Do you say something like that to someone you actually consider a man?
AND, hes bad at sex. Did you notice that every girlfriend cheats on him?
Black Thought
If we put aside that hes charisma-free and is one of the rappers unable to switch up flow if his life depended on it, which already makes him a basket case, we can still pick on him because hes obviously dying to be accepted as an embodiement of black thought (which already makes him white, no matter what rainbow color he appears to be).
He was too thoughtful to be a decent battle rapper through most of his career, filled with limp brag-about-the-mic raps that got Roots a bad name along with ?uestlove losing his mind.
Now, for his two last albums, he employed his royal thoughtfulness in more political ways, and, like most amateur politicians, he failed badly at that. Yeah, bravo, the solution to all word problems is in that you gotta get money so it wont get at you, well thats surely something no one thought about. Itd surely help all other brothers in the hood, wont it? Oh yeah, I forgot, he aint a ghetto child, hes an university jock. So now we have an educated selfish mother****er on a mission to save dah black nation by means of self-enriching. Thats why he sucks like a vacuum cleaner.
Method Man
You already know the main Meth complaint: that hes DAH most disappointing MC to ever come up. Hes almost a professional buzz killer. He makes the buzz of a hornet nest with his guest appearances and collaborations, and then drops a solo album that functions as an insecticide.
And thats sad as , and pisses me off so bad I wanna ing shove his head in Tical 0 jewel case. You know why? Hes one of the really few MCs in whose technique I cant find any flaw: hes versatile flower, hes capable of doing any subject matter from love songs to battle raps to mafia ****, he sounds excellent over any kind of beat from G-funk to Diddy-pop, he can be slow and seductive on one song and madder than a hatter on another and his lyrics always make sense. He has such an energy that you dont even need to be on a concert, you buckwild in your room with headphones on. He has improved over years. How many rappers can say that theyre better fifteen years into career than when they first showed up?
And despite all of that he cant make albums that are above decent (save for the debut, but that was 94 anyway, more a RZA thing than anyone others). Seems that hes, despite everything positive about him, simply mentally handicapped from crafting something on his own. A dream follower. Extremely talented and unforgivably dumb. Alas.
Big L
(I never liked to diss dead people, probably my clan-based Mediterranean upbringing. But, I have a sense of obligation here)
Why did he suck, apart from that he used to write his freestyles and then repeat them in his songs? Well, for starters, because hes a totally inhuman rapper. Nothing human ever in Big Ls songs, just a lot of haaaaard thug **** talk always in form of punchlines that mostly dont have any connection between them and flossing and sexing. No soul. (Thats always case with short rappers, they live with that murdering inferiority complex and must cover it up with too excessive blingin and thuggin.)
He even used to rap like a robot: always screaming his rhymes at top of his lungs with that high-pitched nasal voice. Always. Never slow and threatening. (Again because he was short, because he must got used to it during childhood, nobody would notice him if he wasnt the loudest in the group. Prolly no one took him serious even when he learned to scream).
Ghostface Killah
Ah. Mr. Starks came first, excellent, I was thinking of him while creating the thread. Ghost sucks because hes an act. And an extremely ill-defined act at that. Who is Ghostface Killah? Is he that misogynist * who ed your friend, yeah you stank hoe? Is he that soft and tender wimp who was slobbering at sight of her putting her cigarette in her mouth and is unable to even get her number? Is he that maniacal killer who makes you rock those false joints for **ing with his man? Is he that sobbing prayer who wants to be sacrificed so that his kids can be in paradise? Or is he just that dude thats always telling something very jovially, but nobody ever understands him?
Wait, the best part comes straight up. Hes inclined to talk tough bout meeting this OGs and making coke deals and whatever yet he raps all that in a voice of a 12-year old girl drowning in her own tears. I mean, how can you take seriously a man who apparently walks around breaking jaws and still sounds like he grew up without testicles? And if that wasnt enough, he concluded that he must talk slang-heavily to be a mafioso, but po boy doesnt know any slang words, so he must INVENT THEM. He gots to make up what he thinks streets sound like. Yeah. A male girl who raps his tough street fantasies. He should be white.
Oh yeah, and hes the man of the 70s, I shouldnt forget that. He just loves Temptations and Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin (sounding like earless version of the latter) so much that he just has to make a R&B album. Talking about hardcore hip-hop and loyalty to the game. He doesnt even like rap how can he not suck?
lol. i’d hate to think of the rappers, if any, that you actually like.
You have to be someone of a decent amount of importance, significance, or interest to say all that cornball “keepin it real honesty” opinionated shit and have people give even a raisin-sized shit about you. Unfortunately, you’re a fuckin nobody.
That shit is actually pretty funny. I mean, I dig every rapper on that list so I don’t agree, but in a Roast sort of way you really nailed every one of those dudes.
WANNABE BIG GHOST.
“He rips on the new school cats, I’ll be ‘original’ and rip on the old school rappers!”
The funny thing is you probably every one of their albums.
Biggie sucked? I dont care if he was a momma boy. Were all humans with problems, so what if he was fat and had asma. He made damn good music kid, and thats what its all about.
Damn this kids

What I learn most about white people from reading these mostly white comments, is that they have a massive superiority complex. They’re very self righteous and think they’re somehow “above” the things a lot of ‘black people’ choose to rap about. “How dare they talk about the struggles they had to deal with at the hands of white people, how dare they rap from the perspective a person from a white created ghetto, how dare they rap about having a better life after being deprived of anything and everything their whole lives. They should act like hipsters or pick up a dictionary and use big words to impress us. We control this shit and we should dictate what they do, even though they invented and we’re just guests” lol That’s what you guys sound like to me.
White people have forgotten that they’re just guests in our house. They have gotten WAAYYYY to bold and comfortable with this shit, look at these comments. They’re no longer just buying rappers music for what it is, or accepting it… They actually think they can control it. They feel entitled to our music, as if it’s the natural order of the world for them to take what we have. It’s kind of unbelievable to me. It’s articles like this that remind me why I don’t have any white friends..
loL, this sounds like Quote-Man. All of them aren’t condescending assholes though.
eminem runs rap so your all guests of eminem.
and black people dont feel nothing at the hands of white people but jealousy.. majority of yall hold yourselfs back
Well, when the artists find a way to buy out the labels and run everything themselves then they can say and do whatever they want. Until then, they have rules to follow just like everybody else. If they don’t like it, go drive a taxi.
I think you are racist. And you should have some white friends and realice not all white people are stupid and trying to controll you. Or maybe you are smoking too much and the paranoia is starting to chase your ass
Suburban whites who don’t have the street IQ to know the difference between a C.O. and a policeman are still heartbroken that Ross doesnt know Pablo Escobar and that JayZ didn’t lose 92 Bricks.
The Streets and people who listen to music for entertainment don’t concern themselves with weather or not Dr Dre was ever a “Gangsta” or if Pusha T ever sold kilograms or if Snoop ever lived off the earnings of a prostitute….we listen to rap-music for the sound of the instruments and the slickness of the poetry.
Suburban whites listen to our music so they can live out a “Ghetto” fantasy through the lives of our rappers which is why they focus so much on what they perceive as real/fake or fabricated/authenticated…our music is their only means of getting a street education so they actually attempt to believe song lyrics are supposed to be biographical criminal confessions..
too much time on your hands sad cunt
It’s hard to respond to Face because while he went out of his way to be mad offensive, he really didn’t articulate himself very much. Hip-hop is white now, and it’s the white and Jewish executives fault. Who is he accusing of what, exactly? What is he saying went wrong?
That hip-hop is “controlled” by white dudes, or at least most of the money behind it? Because that’s been true for a long time, including during the Golden Age. Hip-hop blew all the way up and rappers started getting signed by majors early on, and a lot of universally recognized classic albums came out under labels with a rich white dude at the top of the pyramid. Were rich white dudes ultimately responsible for Illmatic or Low End Theory?
Is he saying white artists are the problem? Sure, there are a few white dudes out now. Not enough to shift the demographic in any meaningful way, but you’ve got your Yelawolfs and MGKs and Macklemores and what not. Everyone acts so threatened because Macklemore had a massive hit that led to overnight stardom. You know who else had a ridiculously huge hit? Fucking SOULJA BOY. Where is he now? Hell if I know. The real measure should be hip-hop acts who have maintained major respect, longevity, marketability, and massive success for a long period of time. The Biggies and Pacs (short careers on Earth, I know, but no less relevant today), the Jay-Zs and Nas’s, hell, even the Scarfaces. So for white dudes, there’s Eminem and…who else? Oh yeah, in a 14-year career and 30-40 plus years since hip-hop’s birth, he’s the ONLY FUCKING ONE. (Yeah, there’s the Beasties, but they kind of occupy their own space outside the mainstream hip-hop world). And Eminem had to be co-signed by one of the biggest, most universally respected black tastemakers and superstars in hip-hop to get where he is.
Is he blaming white hip-hop fans themselves? Let’s ignore for the moment the fact that if it wasn’t for a white hip-hop-buying audience, Face would be a lot broker. Go to a Waka Flocka or Jeezy show, then go to a show by Talib or Black Star or TDE or so-called authentic and positive rappers, and peep the racial demographics. White dudes support “real hip-hop” like crazy, so how do you blame them for it’s decline?
Is he blaming record execs for the fact so much of mainstream hip-hop is sex, drugs, money, hoes, and other fuckery? First of all, there’s been a lot of that from the beginning, let’s not act like that shit started in the 2000s. A lot of classic hip-hop albums are filled with that shit, we just give it a pass because they’re classic hip-hop albums. Let’s go further back in time to the Blaxploitation movies, celebrated for their anti-white-authority spirit, financial independence, and being made by and for black people. What was the content of those movies? Sex, drugs, money, violence. This isn’t a black or white thing, people are just attracted to that shit because it’s entertaining. I’m as far from a gangster as anyone could be but I love Goodfellas as much as the next dude. It was true in the 30s, it was true in the 60s, it’s true now. Hell, like so many people have pointed out, this dude got his fucking NAME from a movie portraying a Cuban drug lord, played by an Italian, full of all the ignorance and glorification of negative shit that could be packed into a 2-hour film.
I’m going to need for Face to explain himself a little better for me to conclude he’s not full of shit.
What he’s saying is the direction of the genre has turned to the Caucasian view of rap music. A lot of you seem to overlook that Scarface was a major label music executive. He knows about radio spins, demographic marketing, promotion.
The “Caucasian view of rap music” doesn’t clear things up at all. What does that mean? I’m Caucasian and I bump The Roots, Talib, Tribe, Digable Planets, Nas, Gang Starr…basically the shit universally recognized as “real hip-hop.” I’ve been to most of those artists’ shows…whole lotta honkeys in there. So if I’m Caucasian, and that’s my view of rap, shouldn’t that be what’s getting promoted?
tldr
You are righttttttttttttttttttttt

sad that most people will see this and walk away and forget what was said, stop supporting that bullshit.
How? How do you stop supporting it? Even the artists that deserve it have another rich white executive (I, too, am white BTW) dictating what gets said on record. Mad respect to Kendrick, he’s one of my favorite current artists, but Iovine steers that ship at the end of the day. Yes, thankfully, they did give him creative freedom. But will the next record be that way?
Hip-hop isn’t white…. It’s just gay
Hip Hop is so “gay” that you’re here reading and commenting on an article in a Hip Hop website.
Exactly.
C’mon Mr. Mr. Scarface.. How can you say hiphop hasn’t always been tinted white.. Ruthless records Jerry Heller.. Aftermath jimmy iovine.. Any black record label, somewhere up the food chain is ran by a white dude,,!
It ain’t racist,, it’s the 60’s 70’s 80’s evolution..
Scarface is an Og.! Always will sit up with the masters of hip hop right next to geto boyz.. But its not white people killing hip hop,, it’s the youth..
Like “anonymous ” down there.. Ignorant youth ” cool kid, computer texting tough guy” & racist
this is just an interview taken out of context, because no way people this day of age care bout your color in hip-hop. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE AMOUNT OF SOUL AND PASSION THAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR LYRICS!That’s all music has to be
I was really cosigning this!
and that’s only as far as hip-hop is concerned rock and metal are slipping too! SAVE THE MUSIC PEOPLE!
Cosign!
Cosign what? Lol
Anybody else think Face looks pregnant in the top pic? Lol
Yeah. He’s having Ray J’s baby.
P
scarface is the truth
Now that’s a lie.
drake is a white jew saying nigga
He’s a liar… Hip-Hop has nothing to do with white people, except white rappers, every record company is owned by Ja Rule.
Preach!
Its a fact… it’s not even a discussion…. I’m with Scarface
i think its unfare 2 kl hip hop white like seriously im white and am more hip hop than most the black dudes around my area i listen 2 real hip hop i dnt support bullshit its the young generation that r 2 blame and the rappers milking teens 4 money with corney lyrics we also have 2 think about the fact that people arent buying physical music and therfore everyones selling out to get a hit single span on the radio every 10 mins really face was ignorant saying this and this also again brings segragation between white and black people which is something i thought hip hop had mended not all racists are white u can be black and still be a racist face jus showed that its upsetting 2 here this sort of thing from an artist i respect so much why would u say this face its okay when ur shipping albums and white people buy ur shit but when music is goin 2 shit u blame those same people 4 its state. so ignorant and dissapointing.
I remember reading a Geto Boys interview in the 90’s where Face said Hitler was a normal leader who just wanted to create jobs for his people or something along those lines.
Damn Mike Dean and the dwarf from Too Much Trouble for accelerating the honkification of Southern rap.
The funny thing is Hitler’s ideas were right, but the way he carried them was wrong!
but fuck Jews disgusting race of people if you ask me
^ well jews are firstly a religion not a race. you are the one who is fucking disgusting. that would be like saying catholic/christian or sikh or buddhist or muslim people are a disgusting race of people. Americans are so fucking ignorant its unbelievable
you realize black people didn’t get it any better than jews in hitlers ruling….
scarface your a fat nobody, and yes WHITES run shit get over it
“promote music that make blacks look dumb?”
Well, the gangsta rap he made with the Geto boys in the late 80’s and early 90’s made blacks look dumb too.
really/?? ever listened to Geto Boys?
Who looks dumb now?
Yes, stuff they did was dumb as hell. “Let a Ho Be a Ho”, “Assassins” “Trigga-Happy Nigga”?
Killings and dissing women, nothing intellectual about that.
It was pure minstrel show what they did with these records.
this old ass niglet needs to stfu. old ass irrelevent nigga
jews run that rap shit just dont say it too loud
Since when was hip hop white or black?
since water was wet
LOLL
Scarface hoe ass bitch, You are broke ass N**** so you see how white rappers make money and you can’t make that much so all you do is talk shit and being RACIST 🙂 yeah white rap Eminem, Action Bronson, Yelawolf, Dr. DRE fucked your ass more or less lol
I bet your 14, Scarface is an OG, rapped with 2Pac, you no that guy who was on Death Row with Dr Dre! What he is saying is relevant! Theres no racism in this hes speaking about the deterioration of hip hop culture!
@matty you hoe ass motherfucker, I’m old enough to be your father that maybe you never had, fuck Scarface fuck you and the rest of your RACIST ass bitch ok, now bye bye fuck you go suck on mums boyfriend dick
@shadyari old enough to be a your father? Oh yeah because 14 years old is old enough to be a parent….you’re comment shows your age and ignorance so FUCK YOU!!!
I agree with face but I think the black community started rap and hip hop so just how we brought it in, we can take it out. If blacks don’t think its cool anymore, do you think the rest will? In other words, if blacks say that hip hop is played out, then it’s played out! I personally do not listen to the majority of the music thats current today, because it sound stupid and the lyrics are the same .
Scarface is right! The white racist assault on hip-hop has been going on covertly for over 20 years, but now has just overtly emerged its racist white-jewish/muslim/christian/atheist head!
White people from all faith and cultures have consistently and historically been against any vestiges of black economic, cultural, political, educational,and judicial autonomy/independence!
Black people are now starting to wake up to a reality that is racist,white, and anti-black; and hopefully we will unify and neutralize all efforts of our 6,000 year old enemy/oppressor, i.e white male, white female, and white child!
Peace, black power, & black love!
Oh yea… Death to White Supremacy/Racism
so If im white I should be dead? Even though I listen to Public Enemy on the regular and rep real ish?
“Scarface is an OG, rapped with 2Pac, you no that guy who was on Death Row with Dr Dre!”
You do realize that guy has been dead for many years now.
For all you young dumb wana be hiphop no cd fake listeners. Scarface is the realest Motherfucker still alive. Listen to The Fix and tell me if that shit dropped today it would not be the best album in hiphop. Hiphop is full of skinny jeans and dresses(kanye West) making the next generation look like a bunch of fags. If Pac was still here no rapper would be saying anything Period.
“Why is Tech N9ne not on mainstream media? He’s obviously been tremendously successful and has a huge following, so where are the magazine covers or articles, radio spins, or TV interviews and performances? If he was white he would definitely be getting a lot more shine”
Could it be Tech’s lyrics about devil worshipping are so non mainstream that the average fan isn’t going to want to listen to him? For a guy who can rhyme, he hasn’t done himself many favors. He’s qbviously successful and that’s cool, but if he ditched the shock stuff he could have been right up there with the Em’s, Jay’s and Ja’s.
up there with the jas? What Ja is up there kid?
“If Pac was still here no rapper would be saying anything Period”
But he’s not, so take your medication and chill.
imma white but i don’t affiliate/associate myself with white ppl. black ppl are tha most coolest human beings you can meet on tha planet earth, they got soul, they got that natural swag, they do everythang better. imma highly influenced by black culture. now i’m bout to check that farrakhan, the time and what must be done at noi.org/thetime
LOL have fun believing white people were created in a laboratory and that a big UFO in the sky made all the mountains. Wacky little cult.
tell them niggas to go to school and learn something. then start rapping, maybe they want be able to grow their vocabulary. its funny, you think half these rappers would be smart cause they can rhyme words, but then you like em on facebook and realize they just some dumb niggas.
That’s funny coming from, the inbred white faggot who being racist to the people who crated the music your stupid ass race don’t have the mental capacity to produce. So result as always, to staling black music and then try at insult us at the same time.
WHITE PEOPLE JUST SUCK
Scarface is a drunk angry racist. I bet if some rich white woman was to show him genuine love, he’d be all up in them guts.
Of course, who wouldn’t, I bet if a rich Black, Chinese, Mexican, Martian, etc., women showed you genuine love….you’d be all up in the guts too!
‘Chet probably be some fake love & a few chips & you’d smash!
He wasn’t saying it like that, what he was saying, was that the industry or image, will be taken over by marketing executives, who will market to a certain demographic, mainly whites with money….since as a whole, Blacks don’t have any.
Scarface is one frustrated and delusional rapper. Wack music always existed, it’s just more popular than ever and the “Jews” arent always the fun ones to blame. It’s the demographic that buys the wack music. Last I heard, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Drake still dominated the charts. It’s not about Macklemore or Mac Miller. For every one of those there is a Chief Keef.
tony montana is white.
ini
Eh, kinda. I mean, I love Al Pacino to death, but see:racebending.
Beta says:
First of all: I agree with Scarface claiming that the Executives are White and they sell low quality hip hop to keep the masses asleep and beeing sheeps who dont do anything else but consume, and not questioning the socioeconomical situation in the world were living. Thats why they induce people to listen to rappers like Rick Ross, with no lyrical content and no contrahegemonical postures.
On the other hand, thats just a product these white execs sell, but the people are the ones who are consuming that s***. And a lot of black people (I dont like to say white people or black people as if they were groups of people with the exact same socioeconomical and cultural conditions, and with the same beliefs, because that is not true) listen to Rick Ross as well. A lot of black people (and white people as well) are consuming this low quality hip hop impulsed by the execs. Thats why Scarface claim is not entirely correct (and I say this with all the respect that a great MC like Scarface deserves), because he only sees one part of the problem (the white execs offering this product of nonsense raps, with mcs that only rap about money, hoes and stupid things that contribute to keeping the people ASLEEP). But then again, the problem is not only about white people taking over hip hop, because this MCs that spread nonsense are also black. And they are the ones signing contracts and composing this music. And a lot of black people are buying this s*** and consuming this s*** as well. So
So thats why the problem is not about black or white, is about STUPID PEOPLE and INTELIGENT PEOPLE. About people that choose to stay asleep and consume and consume and consume and never question the main topics of this racial capitalist global new world order, in which the goverments all around the globe (with few excepctions) protect the bankers and the rich people, that are always richer and always paying less taxes; and disprotects the poor people (that are always poorer, and with less rights and more taxes). And the prices of the food keep growing up, and a lot of other f****** up s*** that we should discuss everyday.
Thats why I decide to listen to real music and real hip hop (whether black or white) like UGK, GangStarr or Immortal Technique, instead of complaining about how bad music is in a website and not doing anything good. Thats why I choose to study and read
I see a lot of people discussing stupid things, and a lot of people being racist and ignorant in this site. Fighting against each other instead of getting together and starting to change this reality. Hip hop is not about a colour. Is true that hip hop was created by a oppresed black community. I know hip hop is BLACK. But nowadays hip hop seeks for unity, hip hop is about getting together, whether black, white, chinese or alien. Unity. Respect. Have fun. Thats HIP HOP. I dont see KRS saying: Yo, you are german, you cant listen to hip hop. F*** that s***. Hip hop is peace. Hip hop is changing our way of living. My claim: EDUCATE YOURSELF; listen to GURU, open your mind and support real hip hop by buying those records. By buying real s***.
Peace from Buenos Aires Argentina to the WORLD.
HE IS SPEAKING HIS MIND ABOUT THE PEOPLE HE IS BOTHERED WITH WHO HAPPEN TO BE WHITE AND JEWISH
IM SURE HE IS MAD AT SOME BLACKS TOO
ITS JUST EASY TO DISS WHITES AND JEWS AND NO WHITES OR JEWS WILL STEP TO HIM
WHERE IF A WHITE DISSES A BLACK, MANY BLACKS WILL STEP TO THAT WHITE PERSON

CUZ JEWS ARENT VIEWED LIKE NECRO
THEY ARE VIEWED AS PUSSY
CUZ THE ONES IN THE INDUSTRY ARE PUSSY
I HATE THEM
THEY ALWAYS FRONTED ON NECRO
SOFT JEWS NEVER SHOW LOVE TO RUGGED JEWS
BUT I GUESS SOFT PEOPLE IN GENERAL AVOID RUGGED PEOPLE
SO IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A JEW THING
SO HE IS DISSING JEWS AND WHITES
BUT REALLY WHAT HE HATES IS SNAKES
AND SNAKES ARE ALL COLORS
OH SO HE LOVES PUFFY?????
PUFFY IS COOL FOR RELEASING MGK???? LOL
ISNT PUFFY A SNAKE THEN? WHITEWASHING THE GAME??
ISNT DRE A SCUMBAG THEN? DRE MADE A TON OF LOOT OFF EM
WHY DIDNT SCARFACE DISS DRE????
U KNOW WHY?
HE WANTS A BEAT FROM DRE EVENTUALLY
THESE OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS ARE BITTER
I KNOW THEY ARE FOR A FACT
CUZ THEY ARENT CARED ABOUT ANYMORE
IN 2013, THE LEGENDS GET NO FUCKING RESPECT FROM THE GAME
U WILL NOT OPEN A MAGAZINE AND SEE SCARFACE OR ANY LEGEND IN IT ANYMORE
THE SOURCE AND XXL ARE SUCKING OFF MACKLEMORE’S DICK
AND U KNOW WHAT IS FUNNY ABOUT MACKLEMORE?
I RESPECT THE DUDE
CUZ I SEE HE IS GRINDING, AND HIS BEER SONG WAS COOL
AND I LIKE THE IRISH PRIDE
BUT MY PROBLEM WITH DUDE IS, HE IS TOTALLY POP
I VIEW HIM MORE AS POP THAN REAL HIPHOP
NOTICE HOW WHEN A WHITE BOY IS POP, ALL THE BLACKS SAY HE IS OFFICIAL
BUT NECRO WHO RAPS PURE HARDCORE, I WILL BE CALLED A WIGGER, AND FAKE, AND A WANNABE
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
SCARFACE IS MAD?????
BE MAD AT YA OWN PEOPLE MAN
YA OWN PEOPLE DONT RECOGNIZE REAL HIPHOP
AND THEY ARE THE ONES MAKING THIS GARBAGE MUSIC
HIS OWN PEOPLE
WHITE KIDS ARE PROBABLY BIGGER SUPPORTERS OF SCARFACE THAN BLACK KIDS
IF YOU DID A PERCENTAGE I BET 75% OF HIS SALES HAVE BEEN FROM WHITE KIDS
NOW THE WHOLE STEAL ROCK AND ROLL
SURE, BLACK ARTISTS GOT FUCKED OVER, NO DENYING THAT
BUT ITS NOT THE SAME ANYMORE
IT HASNT BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS
WHEN LABELS LIKE CASH MONEY ARE GETTING 30 MILLION DOLLAR DEALS HOOKED UP BY A WHITE LADY, AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PAY WENDY DAY, CASH MONEY SAID FUCK YOU WHITE LADY
AND SHE HAD TO TAKE THEM TO COURT TO GET HER 1 MILLION COMMISSION
TRUE STORY!!
HOW THE FUCK CAN SCARFACE SAY ITS THE SAME GAME???????
RICK RUBIN FUCKING PRODUCED THEIR DOPEST ALBUM
THEIR BEST ALBUM WAS PRODUCED BY A JEW
NOW I DONT KNOW IF THEY DIDNT GET ALONG
BUT OBVIOUSLY A JEW WAS THERE
AND THAT JEW WAS DOWN WITH A BLACK
TOGETHER AS PARTNERS
THAT BASICALLY PUT OUT THE FIRST HIPHOP GROUP THAT PROBABLY MADE SCARFACE WANNA RAP
SO TECHNICALLY WITHOUT THAT JEW RICK RUBIN, THEIR MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A SCARFACE THE RAPPER
I THINK WHEN SMART PEOPLE THINK SHIT THROUGH, HE WOULD REALIZE, I CANT DISS JEWS
AS MUCH AS I HATE THAT WHITE JEW WHO RECENTLY FUCKED ME OVER, I GOTTA REMEMBER, THEIR IS RICK, NECRO, I JUST DID A SONG WITH WHITE VINNY!!!!!!
HOW CAN I DISS WHITES WHEN I JUST FEATURED ON A WHITE BOY’S ALBUM????????? HAHAHAHAHAH
I COULD GO ON FOR HOURS MAN
I LOVE SCARFACE STILL
CUZ HE IS A LEGEND AND INFLUENCED ME
BUT KOOL G RAP WOULD NEVER SAY SOMETHING IGNORANT LIKE THAT
AND IF HE WAS GONNA SPEAK SOME TRUTH HE WOULD SPEAK IT ON POINT
SCARFACE COULD HAVE MADE HIS POINT SPECIFICALLY AND SPOKE ABOUT THE TRUTHS WE ALL AGREE WITH
BUT TO BLANKET ALL WHITES AND JEWS WITHOUT SPECIFICATION TO WHO, HE LOOKS IGNORANT
SO END OF STORY IS
SCARFACE IS AN IGNORANT BITTER DUDE, AND SHOULD THINK BEFORE HE SPEAKS
BUT HE IS STILL A LEGEND AND I PROB BELIEVE HE HAS JEW FRIENDS
PLEASE DEBATE ME IF IM WRONG HERE!!!
I know what you mean about Kool G Rap, in fact I think I recall an interview with him where he said something like ‘hip hop is universal’ and that’s right you know. As a huge (white) Face Mobb fan I suppose at first I lost a bit of respect but then again, I’m not really bothered as long as he doesn’t say something like white people can’t listen to my music. Because then I better he’d lose a lot of support from fans. However, i found it funny how you said Kool G would never say something as ignorant as that; have you never heard Hey Mister? That’s a ridicolously ignorant song!
I lose respect when old rappers blame whitey all the time. Fck Scarface.
word
It’s just racist as fuck to say “this music isn’t for white people” yet I bet more white people listen to Scarface now than blacks do. I bet white’s respect dude more (because I bet whites write more articles then blacks on dude) So he’s just mad that his own race doesn’t accept his craft
White people are just simply ruining Hip Hop…I like Eminem but ever since he made it big white people think Hip Hop should make music for them as an excuse to act black
Let him put out an album and make it so ONLY blacks can buy it an see the sales he miss out on. Guys hatin on ‘whitey’ like a punk. Motherfucka step into the real world hip hop aint only listened too by ‘the black community’. Actin like these executives only feedin blacks bullshit music. Whites hearin that bullshit too! Go to Europe and talk that shit. I bet he happily go tour it too the ignorant dickhead
If black music is bullshit, why is your stupid cracka ass listening then fool!
I actually am not a accountant, I gotta come clean. I’m 14 and live in my grandparents house (my mom gave me up cause she was a crack-head and never met my dad). I do this trolling thing because it makes me feel like I matter to SOMEONE at least ! Now that the jokes over, I just want to apologize for being such an troll and all my fake opinions…please don’t be too mad, this site is all I have …

Love scarface,but hiphop was in the beginning dominated by puertoricans and whites.
Are you smoking puerto ricans and whites lol.. dont even go there
hip ho was black
He spends all of his time complaining about whites and jews at record labels supressing black people in hip-hop, but he seems to have completely forgotten the internet exists. Youtube and Bandcamp have allowed artists to become big without endorsments from anyone other than their fans, this guy is just racist.
Or you’re just a butthurt white guy
He didn’t say anything even remotely racist, even if you operate from its conventional dictionary definition, which is questionable anyway (i.e. to what degree, if any, can non-white people be racist against white people, seeing that the latter is at the top). Saying that most of the people controlling the distribution of the music are of a different race than a vast majority of those making the music (which is true) doesn’t make any negative statement about any race–it’s pointing out a problematic power dynamic (i.e. institutionalized racism), and it’s nothing but positive to point that out.
My only small criticism is that maybe saying it’s “so Jewish” could perpetuate this myth that Jews run and control everything, which is a troubling and long-running trope, but being neither black nor Jewish, I’m not really all that qualified to go into too much detail about the history there. But racist? Naw, he’s just speaking the truth.
Even Miley Cyrus and all the non Jewish actors in Hollywood know it’s a bunch of old farts controlling the action and drying up the money , look at how all the old time rappers barely got payed hell even left eye talked about that shit .
scarface, send him back to where he came from. His rhymes are weak!!!
He’s right tho you faggot!
Suk cock fuk u & yours
Face is wise & their a reason you can not see it, so roll on with Timberlake & Marshall
Scarface is a crack head. He gives the worst interviews ever. I remember seeing one interview where he was laid back the entire time and barely answering any of the questions, then the moment his pusher called, he perked up and was like “I’m doing an interview right now I will call you back.” It was the only time he appeared to coherent through the entire video.
Sad. He’s nothing like he used to be. Back in the 90s, he was like my fuckin hero. “Hand of the Dead Body” with Ice Cube gave me chills. “Now I Feel Ya” has to be one of the illest story raps ever. You have to ask yourself why rappers like Ice Cube, Queen Latifa, LL Cool J, Ice T, and different ones have gone on to do great things, but people like Scarface are just old and bitter and complaining about the State of Hip Hop.
This is why black people never get ahead. Always trying to blame others for everything. The Chief Keefs and Souljah Boys who you think are ruining hip hop got huge buzz on the internet before they ever had a record deal. There were no insidious Jewish record executives pushing their music on everybody. It was just dumb ass niggas uploading songs on youtube doing dumb ass nigga shit and since everyone listening (white and black) is just as fucking dumb, they all loved it. The record execs aren’t choosing what kind of music to give us. They are just giving us exactly what we’re demanding.
Scarface is just mad that him and the geto boys are no longer relevant.
Scarface is talking out of the end of his beaver blistered cock
WHAT labels nicca?! It’s almost ALL independent out here, how a black man like TECH N9NE with NO label can generate over $20,000,000.00 a year! There is NO ‘conspiracy’ to hold a black man down, that’s in YOUR MIND & those that are unwilling to do the work, the investing & risk taking it takes to build BUSINESS! Excuses are just ‘talk’, the independent DOERS are better off now more than ever! Music is ‘colorblind’, we hear with our EARS not our ‘eyes’ or prejudices!
