Scarface has seen a dramatic change. Though he said that New Yorkers are still trendsetters, the Texas Rap icon said that New Yorkers are now “following the trend[s]” in Rap.
This stands are a marked difference from when Scarface and his group The Geto Boys were attending New York music industry events in the early 1990s as they were trying to break into and garner respect in the then-genre-leading Big Apple Rap market. “From back then when I started, from going to the New Music Seminar and getting booed, to coming out here fuckin’ in front of everybody’s line when I walk up. ‘Face.’ I would have never thought that,” Scarface told The Combat Jack Show. “To be shut out by the backpackers. ‘We don’t want to hear that shit up here,’ to hearing 2 Chainz on the radio out here, I’m like, ‘Whoa.'”
In the last decade-plus, the New York Rap market has become much more accepting of Rap from other regions than it was in the 1980s and 1990s, in part because New York rappers started regularly collaborating with rappers and producers from other regions in the late 1990s. Noreaga used the then-emerging Virginia beat team The Neptunes to produce his 1998 hit “Superthug.” The Queens rapper also appeared on the song “Fire Water” from Mississippi Rap duo Crooked Lettaz Grey Skies album a year later. David Banner was one-half of Crooked Lettaz. Jay-Z also worked extensively with The Neptunes and fellow Virginia beatsmith Timbaland starting in the late 1990s, paving the way for NY rappers who are more regionally neutral, such as Nicki Minaj and A$AP Rocky
Scarface, who along with Ice Cube and fellow Geto Boys member Bushwick Bill became one of the first non-New York artists to work with a New York act when he appeared on Kool G. Rap & D.J. Polo’s “Two To The Head” in 1992, also discussed how shocked he was that rappers from other regions now dominate New York radio. “If you get in the car, close the door, turn the radio on and close your eyes,” he said to Combat Jack and DP, “you’d think you’re somewhere else.”

it ain’t just new york
before you could listen to a song and tell where the artists was from now 80% of it all sounds the same
i blame these new young kids making beats on fl studio those south beats are so easy to make and are cheap to buy. people cant afford to pay big name producers anymore. you could buy 1 beat from just blaze timberland etc or buy 5 from lex chop mike etc
tru dat those garbage clap clap beats…bring back the boom bap!!!
truer words have never been spoken!! 5/5 for that comment
NY rap is dead, Joey Badass we need ya
Yessssssssss!

Not this bitch again!!!
That’s what I say when your mom knocks on my door to get laid haha.
@fuck you really fuck you prick
Nooo this bitch is back talking shit again
show some respect for a hiphop legend he opened the doors for downsouth rappers if it wasnt for scarface and geto boys their would not be no ugk,outkast,ludacris,lil flip,t.i. etc so go check your history dummy!!
fuck off for real, he aint hip hop you dumb bitch
When i entered my teens i would sell drugs in my couop
But then all my friends got arrested and i had to stop
So i started taking rap seriously and i blew up
Then i grew up and became big guwop
But then i started becoming reckless and ended up as a screw up
Now i am back on my grind and i have become the BIG GUWOP
Scarface is one of the only old heads, who can murk any new school emcee, that defends the craft.
and this cat is doing song with french montana LOL
Most of all rap sounds the same, same beats, same formula, and same subject matter. It’s sad, but this is the music yall like.
So fuckin true. It makes me sick to my stomach being born and raised in NY and because the majority of ny rappers are on the souths fuckin dick, the originality is gone. Can’t tell the difference anymore.
Thank God for Ghost, Sean Price, Cormega and a few others who continue to follow the old format and make it work.
he was on french montana’s new album. confusing
It’s not confusing. It’s business.
this faggot ass motherfucker doesn’t even know know what to say to sell some. if you see him shoot him in the head. THAT would be gangsta cuz this is just shit dropping
You’re a fucking idiot. Kill yourself for the bullshit you said.
Scarface doesn’t need to sell anything, he’s a legend, and you’re a NEVER FUCKING WAS… Fuck ass bitch, get off the internet and go pick up a book, fucking twerp.
Face would wire your jaw, punk.
Yeah, I agree with him. It’s hard for me to listen to new music today. Y’all should checkout thegrandreport.com, they be having some good stuff on there too
I’m really tired of this nigga.
He speaks the truth, you’re complaining because you probably like all the wack shit radio plays these days. Go kill yourself.
I love this nigga I’m really tired xoxoxoxo
Put yourself to sleep then homo. Instead of being on here with your lame ass hahaha.
I travel a great deal and radio in every major city sucks donkey balls. Where ever you may be, you are going to hear the same 8-12 songs on repeat all day.
he telling the truth about that shit he aint never lied hip hop is so fucking wack and homo it aint even funny thats why i dont listen to the radio no more it aint what it used to be u hear the same artists all day everyday all u hear is 2 chainz chris brown drake thats why im never leaving old school old school was original u knew who was who and nobody bit anyones style anybody who listens to this bullshit out today u got serious problems and dont have a clue about real hip hop
He telling the truth about that shit. He ain’t never lied. Hip-hop is so fucking wack and homo, it ain’t even funny. That’s why I don’t listen to the radio no more. It ain’t what it used to be. You hear the same artists all day, everyday. All you hear is 2 Chainz, Chris Brown, (and) Drake. That’s why I’m never leaving old school (hip hop). Old school (hip hop) was original. You knew who was who, and nobody bit anyone’s style. Anybody who listens to this bullshit out today, you’ve got serious problems, and have no clue about real hip hop.
thats not TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Anybody that says NY rap is dead has never understood what NY rap was in the first place. If the radio is where you are going to hear the sound of NY, or BET is where your going, then you are lost. I wouldn’t expect anyone outside of NY to understand that but NY rap is alive and thriving. Now don’t get me wrong, Lil Wayne, Trinidad James, Khalifa, Chief Keef, Gucci Mane, etc. is everything NY aspires to be (GTFOH).
Scarface is right about the radio shit, but regional sounds are becoming less and less regional as time goes on. The music is out there. You just have to stop going to the radio to find it.
yawn……………………………….xoxo
Funny how I live in Louisiana and all I hear is Wiz, Jay, Kanye and 50 Cent on my radio.
You were making sense up until you mentioned 50.
hes actually right
@ja rule fuck off ja cunt 🙂 Ja Rule died long time ago so stop taking his name you bitch
This clown been sucking new york d since DMX gave him props on that movie…….lol
This clow been sucking Troy’s dick since Troy sticked his finger up his booty….lol love you Scarface xoxo
.
,
old heads being bitter about being not relevant anymo.
Niggas like you are the reason rappers got an expiration date,and rock bands like metallica and black Sabbath can make money and albums for decades. Kill yoself
THIS WAS THE LEAST INSIGHTFUL READ EVER…
BUT ANYWAY, WHY HAS SCARFACE BEEN IN THE MEDIA SO MUCH LATELY???
ALBUM COMING SOON?
hes on the same boat rugged man is.
Somebody give Scarface a day job.
me estupido
hes sub conciously admitting the real issue- 2chainz type rappers. not white rappers.
and i bet he dont even know it
you can’t read…he said white execs are favoring the white fan base…you have the music you have now…nyc has a rap scene were there are hundreds of rappers who DON’T make that music…they are overlooked…can you name 5…or continue to show your ignorance because he said something about whites and youre mad…
SHUT THE FUCK UP SCARFACE.. YOU ARE ON A TRACK AS A GUEST FEATURE WITH 2CHAINZ. LMAO THIS GUY NEEDS TO HIBERNATE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. BITTER
Never go full retard
lalalala im dumb i dont know what im talking about scarface is my nigga
its all good us NYers ruled the rap game for so many years we created rap #the bronx,nyc.so its all good that main stream rap from the south and west be on the radio…if you come to New York nd go to the Hoods…in Harlam,The Bronx,Brooklyn and Queens…True dudes are spittin true nyc hiphop its there is just that the game is so waterd down.that nobody wants to hear real bars..
Not that I am disagreeing with him at all, the NY sound no longer exists at least mainstream for the most part and it’s kinda sad that the regional differences that added so much to hip hop when I was a teen are for all intents and purposes gone… or at least disappearing. That being said he seems to be hitting the bitter old man stage of his life early. He just seems pissed off in general.
yawn
swag daddy
fuck swag
fuck drake
fuck ymcmb
wow, I’m so Ny …but i got gossip about the southern listen on radio from favor of hip hop on rick ross , french Montana , 2 chain , lil wayne that’s all when new york radio station have same thing of hip hop favor named.
only trap music is played in the dumbest of dumb hoods in the south, and in the suburbs..in the hood in NY and eastcoast its hood music.. in westcoast id assume its westcoast hood shit..
false coming from the hood in NY you hear: 2Chainz, Future,Waka, Gucci the same shit…
Word, i live in bedstuy and all i hear is future and gucci. I do hear a lot of jay z too tho.
New York is the Hardest place to get noticed as a rapper because there are over 8million people here.One NY boro like Brooklyn or the Bronx.Has more people then some states..Brooklyn alone has like 4million people…its easy to come up in a place like Pittsburgh were everybodys not tryin to rap..and you can put on mad quick cause your the only person tryin to get your mixtape played
Face, like a lot of rappers, is a hypocrite. I remember a video from about 7 years ago where he said he voted for Bush.
vote for Bush vote for Bush yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
the game is so waterd down that NY has Bad reps like French Montana…who use to be not so bad when he was fuckin wit Max B..but these days he’s trash and basic..thats what you young dudes out there like tho.Basic Trash Rap…Scarface is a 90’s rapper and he’s used to REAL bars comein from NY rappers NOT just a beat with a rapper sayin Haaaan..over it.smh
You ain’t lying.
If French Montana is what comes to mind when you think “NY Hip Hop” then your point of view and understanding of the true NY hip hop scene is non-existent.
bubble gum butt butt pio pio wee hooo wolf wolf meow meow spits =================xx=================
@Harlem’s Reckoning
But French Montana is still from NY, and is still garbage. So what’s your point exactly?
Nothing was said about the good NY artists.
Once again he (scarface)is right and that the problem right there, that why HIP HOP is screw up, NYC MC and producer are waste of time these day, they dont set trend they follows. when every body know NYC are the trend setters Period when it comes to HIP HOP
i was listening but i didnt hear face say anything about new york rap the interviewer put the words forward and face agreed
i will lick scar face’s cum off the toilet anyday.
What the fuck!!!!!!! you make me sick
fuck me in the ass stone cold steve austin
GeeZ, Scarface is as pessimistic as my dad. I’m sick of people complaining about hip hop. At least Scarface is a rapper, unlike most of rap’s critics.
HEY SCARFACE—YOU GOT SUCH A HUGE PROBLEM WITH RAP THESE DAYS, WHY DON’T YOU PUT ALL THAT ENERGY INTO SHOWING US THE GADDAMN WAY?
you really think anybody individually is going to beat the CORPORATIONS and their millions. Problem ppl complain then morons come back off with that ‘hater’ or that go away old nigga BS
this has been going on for years now… I watched a Pimp C interview from the mid 2000s or earlier when Pimp was talking about how the local radio stopped playing regional artists.
He’s telling the truth. I was visiting my home state of Jerz a few months ago and attended a party Tahiry hosted and I swore up and down I was in the South lol! It’s true The East coast no longer has a voice in Hip-Hop sadly.
More verification that he was right with his first statement. The powers that be have turned the industry from creative control to suggestive marketing.
“Grief Pedigree”-Ka
A strong, Hip Hop, introspective of a brother from B’klyn that received minimal play, even though certain rappers cosigned the man’s music. The industry suits wanted Trinidad James, put him in radio rotation, exposure on MTV, etc. The young brothers wanting a shot at rap stardom will emulate what Trinidad is doing just to get in (follow the trend). many of the Caucasian audience can’t relate to what Ka is saying because that life is NOT what you live, but a Trinidad song is cool with you as you try to dance and joke on his looks.
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 Pac. 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!
Typical ymcb fan!!!Go Make up some more bullshit and fake bout you are and what music you like!!!! BET ur stupid ass cant count past 2 GTFOH!!!!!!!!
FUCK THE SOUTH AND THE EAST!
REAL HIPHOP LIVES OUT ON THE WESTCOAST!!!!
More z100 music out there than local rappers getting a chance on radio. After Sac-Town, Portland has no local push, Seatlle has it’s heroes, the south and east come do shows up and down the Pacific, local rappers have to fend for themselves, no labels or outlets to push their music. Most residents play their old, favorite music from E-40, Short, Corleone, Quik, Mac Dre, Nas, Jay, 50, ATCQ, etc.
Locksmith just did a song with east recruits. You still want to have this conversation?
“Anybody that says NY rap is dead has never understood what NY rap was in the first place. If the radio is where you are going to hear the sound of NY, or BET is where your going, then you are lost. I wouldn’t expect anyone outside of NY to understand that but NY rap is alive and thriving.”
^ yes sir (no comment troll)
the perpetuated lie is that music is for everyone and there’s plenty of it out there (if you look for it), but there’s a concentrated effort to push only certain types of music. And that mainstream, media driven music is what they listen to and check for.
yo i hate paragraph comments i never read em
summarize your shit
Then don’t read them. Not my fault you can’t comprehend beyond 140 characters.
He’s right! Most of the New Yorker’s under the age of 25 are lame as hell to be totally honest. They have an identity crisis. Go out to any party/club/event in the NYC/NJ/CT and most of the under 30 crowd is all over that U.O.E.N.O. shit. Trap records, Swag Records, etc,etc…It’s crazy and sad to see, being that I grow up in Newark, NJ and feel like I can’t identify with anybody under the age of 30 for the most part.
U.O.E.N.O. IS LIKE THE HOTTEST SHIT TO COME OUT THIS YEAR!! ARE YOU ANOTHER BROKE HATER?? OBVIOUSLY U.O.E.N.O. BOUT THIS LIFESTYLE NIGGA!!
HOW OLD ARE YOU NIGGA?? MAYBE YOU JUST GETTING TOO OLD FOR THE CLUB NAHMEAN, U PROBABLY WALKING IN WAITING TO HEAR M.O.P. ANTE UP WITH BUSTA “ATTENTION PLEASE, ATTENTION PLEASE”!! POP A MOLLY AND CHILL NIGGA, SWAG IT OUT AND GET SOME HOES…THATS THAT LIFESTYLE NIGGA
you just proved what he said dumbass
Respect due, but he’s wrong.
Someone said it in the comments. If you not from NY, you really can’t understand the breadth and depth of the scene here.
And to say that NY rappers are “following the trend” just shows that he really doesn’t know about many NY rappers.
Which is understandable. Not many people do. Because media and radio don’t show love. It’s a simple mistake that many make, even IN New York. But there are plenty on non-trend-following, good-hip-hop-making NY rap acts around.
If you disagree, check in on Birthplace Magazine / The NY Hip Hop Report and we’ll be happy to have this debate. Gets to be a bit tiring when uninformed folks (yes, even our icons and elders) are speaking about us/on our behalf.
GTFOH!!! New York done sold out!!! They even rap in country accents now….
@Manny Faces. Agreed. Great radio show by the way. I’ll definitely will be tuning in the future.
its nobodies fault. Times change. Read the article in the ny times the other day about how brooklyn looks now. They sell cupcakes and $10 cocktails where it used to be crack. So its only natural that the rap sounds all fake and shit now
Whoever keeps going on his lawn please stop.
remember when benzino said eminem was like elvis and was gonna ruin rap music. I laughed my ass off at the time and thought benzino was a jackass. But ten years later I can see he actually may have been right. If you think about it – there hasnt been a jada, nas, jay-z, wu-tang, etc. since 50 cent blew up. Something to do with they way 50 was, combined with eminems backing made it so not one good rapper has debuted out of nyc with the same skill levels as jay, nas, biggie, wu-tang, jada, az, boot camp, camron, pun, mobb deep, cnn, since 50 blew up. As of now you could say that 50 and eminem ruined rap. He may have really been elvis.
New New York rappers now are more of flow/cadence rappers now than lyrical. But there are plenty of rappers that match that skill level of that list. Maybe not relatively from that time period to this one, but rap has evolved so that skill level compared to today’s is more common. But you can’t just say that he ruined rap just because one city has produced a legend in a decade.
Hey, Face..love the music bro, but..it’s not the 90’s anymore..

Too bad it isn’t. There was actually talent back then.

YOLO or SWAG
swank
true shit y aint new york spinning papooses new shit y not havoc and llyod banks its the radios that support bullshit hip hop and new york has fallen down hill badly when wayne said he didnt like newyork i was disgusted to hear all the newyork rapper kissing his ass and defending him it took a underground artist to stand up and say fuk wayne cos these rappers dnt wanna say shit.
Gucci is the realest rapper and heres why.
1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
3)Jay z raps in Open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t.
5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.
This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.
BIG GUWOP KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!

sucks to be you
He’s right. I’m from Florida but drew inspiration from Wu, Nas, Mobb, Talib, and Mos when I used to rhyme. We used to do shows here in FL and the crowds looked at us like we were from another planet. The applause would be tepid at best. Then some dready headed dudes would come on stage and hop around screaming into the mic and the crowds would go crazy. I can specifically remembering the MC of one show asking the crowd how they can cheer from the music no one can understand but not react the the lyrical stuff.
That was roughly 10 years ago and not much has changed here. The south likes rowdy music and the classic New York hip-hop sound isn’t rowdy. New York now has turned on to rappers like 2Chainz and Gucci Maine and NY has essentially become the followers in a movement they themselves created. Scarface is a legend and he’s only being kind when he calls NY “still the trendsetters”. The only New York rapper left with any pull is Jay (This coming from a Nas fan). Wu, Nas, & Talib still get my cash but Mobb has fallen off farther than Wile E. Coyote off a cliff. It’s kind of sad to see NY acquiesce to radio rap but I think it’s mostly due to payola more than anything and people will listen to whatever the radio is playing.
Scarface is right NYC rappers follow trends! NYC rap is dead they scared to make NYC rap they sounds nowadays like dirty south rappers. Also they rapeat themselfs with each album they make. Always the same bullshit: i have guns, i sell coke etc. really sad.
Face is an old bitter man. He is just mad that Birdman doesnt want to sign him to YMCMB
Face never wanted to go to YMCMB.
just shut up and die you ugly fat racist prick
The sad part is you don’t have the slightest clue what “racist” even means.
Guci Mane realest rapper outthere:
– this nigga throws bitches out his car
– shoot niggas dead
– beat niggas up.
Gucci aint no fantasy nigga like:
– mobb deep,
– nas escobar lol nigga only had a ticket for parking his car wrong
– 2pac never gangbanged
– rick ross
fuck gucci lame and fake ass
Pac never said he was a gangbanger dummy he even said “I dont give a fuck if you blood or cuz as long as you got love for thugs.”
Some people say Scarface is a bitter man and I agree but remember this one thing, he has every right to be bitter. Hip Hop/Rap Music has been so watered down the last 10 plus years and New York has followed the same path of making weak ass commerical music.
New York was always the trendsetters now they are just the follwers of a wack movement.
Scarface is a fucking legend, respect the man!
so why is he making weak ass commercial music with french montana?
I Fucks with scarface since this dumb down south shit took over is not against the real south rappers i respect… alot of new york artists been unsuccessful since they been following the trends it was more gold and platinum new york artists doing new york rap then them following the trends of today fuck this south shit

NOT ONLY WACK ASS NEW YORK RAPPERS FULL OF SNOBBISM TRY TO MAKE A PENNY OFF THE SOUND THEY HATED YEARS AGO. ALSO IN CHI-TOWN, THERE IS THIS CHIEF KEEF DUMBASS.
NEW YORK IS DEAD, HIP-HOP LIVES IN THE SOUTH, ATLANTA IS THE CAPITAL OF HIP-HOP.
G-UNIT IS DEAD (THE BEST TWO RAPPERS FROM G-UNIT WERE NOT EVEN FROM NY), 50 CENT CAN’T EVEN RELEASE AN ALBUM BECAUSE HE KNOW HE WILL FLOP, WU-TANG CLAN HAS RESPECT BUT ODB IS DEAD AND LAST GHOSTFACE ALBUM SOLD TRIPLE WOOD, JOEL ORTIZ IS A NOOB.
MOST OF NEW YORK RAPPERS WERE WACK OR OVERRATED BACK IN 80S AND 90S. NOW THEY REALIZED THEY’RE WACK/BROKE AND THEY TRY TO COPY SOUTHERN SOUND, EVERY NIGGA WANTS TO DO FEATURINGS WITH 2 CHAINZ, LIL WAYNE, YOUNG JEEZY, FUTURE, GUCCI MANE, DJ KHALED, T-PAIN OR OTHERS. ONLY FABOLOUS, JADAKISS, DIDDY, NAS, FRENCH MONTANA, JIGGA, ASAP ROCKY AND COUPLE OF OTHERS DO IT GOOD AND STAY RELEVANT.
Kill yourself for the bullshit you said. New York will forever be the capital of hip-hop and hip-hop lives everywhere.
@Yebo Fuck you you southern trash. The shitty south is the reason rap is where it is today. Outkast, Geto Boyz and Master P are the true south. Gucci, 2 Chainz and Future is trash. The South is full of shitty wack rappers who lack content. Lemme see a rapper from the south make a good rap album. Only one is J.Cole. New York started this, the west took to the next level, then the South ruined it. So fuck you and the southern rap trap/trash music. Go listen to some Big L you DICKHEAD. Better yet some Joey Bada$$, and come back and tell me what hip hop it. Fucking Commercial Dickhead.
Biggie was dumb. He was not that smart of a businessman. And before people start throwing flames at me, READ READ READ….
BIGGIE IS THE BEST EMCEE. UNDISPUTED.
BUT BIGGIE WAS NOT WISE TO WHO AND WHAT PUFF IS….
Look at what’s happening….
Biggie is being used as a jewel in Puff’s crown. His ghost is and has been pimped to give Puff a little love in the street (which Puff desperately needs).
I think Biggie would probably be beefin’ with Puff just like every other artist Puff has had. Why?
Biggie was an emcee. He was not an astute businessman. Although he wrote “The Ten Crack Commandments” he was basically dumb to all of Puff’s wheelings and dealings. But in time (if he had lived) I think he would have caught on and been thoroughly against Puff. To see his ghost being pimped like this is a shame.
Biggie went out on the “Love” end of his relationship with Puff. I won’t get into conspiracy theories and blame Puff for his death…. But Damn! It’s absolutely amazing how Puff is benefiting from Biggie’s demise. I think he is probably benefiting more than Biggie’s mom!!!
And to ALLOW yourself to even be put into a position with Rick Ross to be even SLIGHTLY compared to Biggie is disrespectful to Biggie’s ghost. If you were truly Biggie’s friend and not trying to create the next Biggie, you would have never allowed those rumors to come up.
This isn’t the first issue about Puff and Big’s ghost. Anybody ever heard of a cat called JAY ELECTRONICA?
JAY ELECTRONICA is blatantly going around calling himself “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace”. And now he is hanging extra tight with Puff. And Puff has yet to silence him or correct him. Now I know what cats will say. They will say,
“Jay Electronica is only saying that as a sign of respect to real emceeing.”
That’s a bullshit argument. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I would allow someone to disrespect my man by even saying some dumb shit like that if I truly loved and respected Biggie. NO WAY!
Biggie was dumb. Not in the sense of stupidity. He was dumb to the devil that is PUFF. And his ghost is not getting respected. Real talk.
And you’re bringing up Biggie to a Scarface article because…???
Why these Southern niggas keep doing this??? Everytime I turn around I see one of these country mothafuckas talking shit about my city, like they forgot we the main reason why y’all are not broke and starving in the hood.
Now let’s take a look at Scarface’s record sales:
Mr. Scarface Is Back – 662,413
The World Is Yours – 774,960
The Diary – 1,446,443
The Untouchable – 1,157,481
My Homies – 722,890
The Last Of A Dying Breed – 671,163
The Fix – 614,180
Balls And My Word – 232,320 (LOL)
Hy Homies Part 2 – 170,000 (LMAO)
Made – 192,802 (LMAOO)
Emeritus – 145,670 (LMAOOOOO)
Hope y’all understood my point. A nigga with such low record sales is in no moral position of criticizing anyone.
Normally I wouldn’t waste my time with the comment section of a site like this,but I JUST HAD TO DO IT. You East Coast niggas can eat a fat sloppy dick.Yall wasn’t fucking with the South in the late 80’s to early to mid 90’s,but now yall hanging off our balls like a fucking pubic hair. Don’t act like the shit face said wasn’t true,because if it wasn’t you wouldn’t be crying all in your feeling and shit.Like a GROWN ASS MAN isn’t entitled to his OWN OPINION( nigga PLEASE). That old tired East Coast shit is played and instead of yall niggas reinventing the wheel,yall are following trends.East coast niggas stealing Jeezy,Wayne and errbody else swag.Trying to sound like whatevers hot. Rapping over trap beats with heavy 808s,synths and shit.You niggas wasn’t even fucking with 808s at one time.The SOUTH is the industry.There taking our culture and our slang and trying to make it GLOBAL. From Drake,to Timbaland and Justin Timberlake Suite and Tie,to ASAP Rocky.Pau Wall had all you niggas in grills LMAO.The South has been it’s own intity for yrs.After Suave House,SUC,RAP A LOT,No Limit,Cash Money you would think we would get our just do and some RESPECT.But just like anything else dealing with the south that will never happen.Where do you think Blues came from,how about them Soul and Funk records ya favorite producer samples from.Nigga you better do your research.And if it’s fuck the South/Houston then it’s fuck New York. Cause we been doing this independent rap shit.Selling music out the trunk of our cars doing 50,00 without Radio Spins and ya bullshit ass 106 and park fly by night fan bases and it wont sotp cause you mad(Check ya boy Nas’s song Get Down of God Son).I loved the East Coast music scene,just like I did the West Coast,but them days of being trendsetters in this industry is over with. Jim Jones,Cameron,Mobb Deep,Prodigy,Mos Def,Talib and so on and so on.Shits DEAD.Me being a hip-hop lover I can appreciate it,but Nas,50,and Jay are the only ones still relevant in these here parts homie.You better hope that Fab and Meek Mills continue to keep rapping over trap beats are you niggas will be extinct in the next few.Holup aint Meek on MMG were dat at?In the country as South in Miami Florida. Home of what Hip-Hop group 2 Live Crew.So while you dissin.Talking that bullshit about the South needing handouts and all this and that.My nigga we been here.It’s just now the world is starting to take notice and appreciate our culture.Now you Niggas butt hurt.Fuck yall cause we couldn’t get no love and now it’s our turn to eat and we remember all that negative shit you niggas did when we were trying to get on in the 80s-90s and how the East Coast shitted on us.Now look were you niggas at LMAO
To the nigga pointing out Faces album sales
One thing you failed to mention was the fact that all of those albums were INDEPENDENT,but you fake spoiled East Coast niggas wouldn’t now nothing about that there.Still trying to chase that major label/mainstreem crossover shit.
BTW FUCK NEW YORK
i wish the radio stations in the east coast would just play some east coast hip hop like joey badass, termanology, papoose, saigon, n.o.r.e, thats hip hop not no dub step, techno, pop, rachet ass booty clapin bullshit.. turn on a hiphop station and u hear justin bieber..
@DownSouthVeteren Nigga New York started this shit. The South can eat a dick. Yall the reason rap is what it is today. Eat a dick cocksucker. Southern trap is Southern trash.
fuck you hip is dead with all this ratchet ass shit. its all gay ass trap music if you sell drugs why the fuck would you rap about it thats snitching on your self every thing is fake gone with all that ratchet shit.
Wow and his net worth still 500,000. I guess he is still working hun
Someone in the comments below mentioned that New York was jocking the south because New New York rappers started wearing grills? Are you kidding me?? Do you not remember when Wu in the 90’s was rocking Gold grills? As a matter of fact, there’s a picture of Jay-Z circulating around the internet wearing gold fronts in the late 80’s. All you gotta do is type it in on Google and it pops up. The root of hip-hop is NYC don’t forget that. I’m not gonna lie,out here in Los Angeles, that south bounce goes in at the night clubs but that don’t mean you’re shit is better then New York or LA; that’s like someone having 50 likes on Facebook, but offline they don’t have any friends. See what I’m saying? I’m not saying all the rappers from the south suck because there’s a few that go HOOORRRRDDD. I like Outkast, I like Ludacris, kind of a fan of T.I.,and a few others but Trinidad James? Two Chains? (original name Titty boy) Gucci mane? that little particular group that all sound the same, give hip-hop a bad name. It’s like black face for hip-hop, a gimmick, an act. It’s not Hip-hop. As a matter of fact, come to my blog and check out some of my TBT’s and you’ll find some lyrical shit. Sure NYC is not on the club scene or radio scene anymore but don’t think for one moment they don’t have mad lyricist in that city. Ya’ll can have the “shimmey for the whiteman act” LA and NY, we’ll be here re-creating hip-hop in poetic lounges and dive bars with the hipsters. ha! lol Check out my tbts, and please click on those green links. =)
