No, Scarface is this generation Scarface. And still dropping heat better than most rappers including Big Krit and I love Big Krit music.
I feel ya. Face is personally one of my favorite rappers ever.
From Scarface himself:
Scarface: [Dr. Dre] is the shyt! Period. Man, I’m gonna tell you something, man. So we can be real clear. A lot of artists don’t admit their influences.
Ice Cube and
Chuck D and [
Big Daddy Kane] and [
KRS-One] and
Rakim and all them mutherfukkers, they influenced me.
Marley Marl and Dre, they influenced my production. I always make music with the shyt that they did in mind. I have a blueprint to go off of. That’s my blueprint. The shyt those guys are doing. The shyt that those guys did. Those guys birthed me. From Marley and Dre came me. From Kane and Chuck D and Ice Cube came me. Now who came from behind me, I don’t know. But I love [
Big K.R.I.T.]. I can hear a lot of me in K.R.I.T. and K.R.I.T. got the fukking blueprint. He got it. The work that I did didn’t go in vein. A lot of people don’t have the blueprint to go by so they don’t know how to make a record. They don’t know how to make songs and I give all of that to the people that I grew up listening to. I can’t ever see myself falling off because I know what it took to make people like me. I know what makes me fall out of like with people.
