Scarface: Greatest Rapper Of All Time
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2017
- Let’s do the math. 7 group albums since 1988 as part of the Geto Boys. One platinum (We Can’t Be Stopped). Two Gold. (Till Death Do Us Part & The Resurrection).
11 solo albums since 1991’s Mr. Scarface Is Back. 3 Platinum (The Diary, The Untouchable & My Homies). 4 Gold.
At least 3 certified classics. The Geto Boys Grip It On Another Level received 5 Mics in The Source. The Fix received 5 mics in The Source. The Diary received a perfect score in The Source and XXL. Mr. Scarface Is Back is absolutely in a classic conversation. Super pioneering piece of work. We’ll get back to that. Face was honored by BET with the I AM Hip Hop Award in 2015. He won best lyricist of 2001 at The Source Awards, beating out Jay-Z, Eminem, Prodigy, and Talib Kweli. That’s a diverse ass class. 29 years. Incredible productivity. Commercial impact. Spilling critical acclaim. That combination helps put into context why Scarface is consistently considered your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Every region is littered with emcees that revere the legendary Brad Jordan. Scarface may be the greatest rapper of all time.

Scarface is beyond a legend
Damnnnnn right
Nah, you underestimating it.
3 years after your comment & I wanna give yo ass 2 👍🏾 Face is legend inn DC. Was 202 favorite rapper forever... Before generational change.
@@sheldonpegram8421 awwready! Shout out to DC
@@Jsandoval_713 if u frm the H🤘🏾FW y'all moe.
The Diary is the greatest gangsta rap album ever made. It's exactly what gangsta rap is supposed to be.
Not mad at that at all. incredible project.
Tru Factzzź
@@TheCompanyMan Where can I get that shirt?
Yeah but almost every scarface album is just as good as the diary.
It's flawless.
His storytelling is epic.
Scarface is the only rapper dead or alive that you could call the GOAT without it getting to his head. That's GOAT material.
Michael Wimer Real shit!
Meh. Could say it to 3k, Z Ro, Mega, etc. Pun as well, dude said while he was alive he ain't even probably the best rapper alive... and he was no less than top 3.
"I'd often wish that I could save everyone, but I'm a dreamer." - Scarface has bars
Scarface is one of the most in depth rappers of all time. He paints vivid pictures with his words. He has and always will be my favorite rapper. Mad love & respect to Facemob.
Who gives a shit about five mics? The Fix is not a classic, it's a masterpiece.
WHEN OTHER RAPPERS REFUSE TO DISS YOU, YOU ARE INDEED THE GOAT!!!!
I've been making this argument for years I'm glad that someone finally put it out. this is all facts people!
I think one of the coolest things about "The Fix" is how Scarface got both Jay and Nas to be features on the album, I think it was right after or around the time when they were still beefin. And both tracks ("In Between Us" and "Guess Who's Back") are dope.
Edward Chan i never thought about dat u right. Real shit
I was thinking about that too. Pretty dope.
Scarface-the underrated GOAT
Scarface never been wack 😤😤😤
Consistency is his middle name. And hand down his work is forever respected.

Scarface is the G.O.A.T.. There is no argument to his greatness. He is uniquely different and knows how to craft lyrics. I respect him as a man and as an artist. Thanks for keeping it 100 on the culture #TBDSHOW
Yes there is an argument to it. Scarface the GOAT?? Come on, stop it.
Scarface is underrated I rarely see him on the top 5 of people who are from the north
he in my top 3. . . im from ohio. . . he the realest ever to do it
Dee Boy Redman is the realest to ever do it
tekashi69 the realest goat
In my top 5 there was a time he was better than pac b4 all eyes on me they both came out around the same time
@@deeboy4378 he in my top 6. Also Ohio. Dre in my top 4.
The Fix is in my top 5 albums of all time!
Face brings the human element into music! He brings soul and emotion into it. The same things that made Marvin and Marley Great!
Well said.
It's about time Face's lyricism is recognized on a grander media scale. I've been riding with Face for over 20 yrs. Peace.
For real
Scarface absolutely stole that Dynasty album with his verse on "This Can't Be Life". I had that track on repeat for months. And The Fix was in my CD player non-stop. Great TBD!
I'll never forget his verse in Gang Starr's Betrayal track.
Bruh. I remember when Ludacris said he was the 1st southern rapper on a premo beat... How could he not acknowledge "Betrayal"
Damn, haven't thought about Gang Starr for a minute. Thanks.
Face Mob is legendary
Thank you for this. Face never gets the props from the fans that he deserves.
1 Scarface
2 Pac
3 Ice Cube
4 Nas
5 Ghostface Killah
In that order.
AmonRa1081 Dope list.
Scarface should always be #1 then tupac #2 and biggie 3 nas and andre 4th then eminem jay z should be #6,then snoop etc...
Justin looks like some sort of Guru in hip-hop videogame with that background and 60 fps lol
horatio from Watch Dogs 2
Rightbackich He should be one lol
Those 60 FPS is the shit man....
Ken over at DEHH said that Scarface has the best catalogue of all-time. He got laughed at for saying that, but it's not a complete joke. Scarface has been dope for decades.
Hey another DEHH fan. Glad that some people got Ken's back. Who would you say your personal best rapper is?
That video made my stop watching DEHH..
Super dope that u gave it up to Face...
He deserves it.
The Company Man u da realest for takin time to answer ur supporters
Im a always sunscribe to ur channels 💯🤘🏼
My #1 on my top 1. A true pioneer on the hip hop, rap scene. Big fan from the beginning. Much respect Mr. Jordan... And my Grand Father is from his land, 5th ward, Chicago bound....
Douglas Reese Face from South Park not 5th Ward
That Scarface quote is potable!
Face is the GOAT Hands down. If you can still crank them albums YEARS after their release and still play the full album without skipping a track. Goat status.
Yeah i got face number 2 behind pac
He's a the Billy GOAT of Rap.
@@nellatl I highly disagree but I understand
Of all the GOAT pieces I've seen, this is probably the strongest argument of all. Great work, sir! Houston may have the realist MC and producer with Face and Premier. Amazing.
I mean Scarface isn't even the best in Houston. K-Rino beats him in every category except Impact and Album Sales, both of which are directly connected to popularity. Both are top ten emcees.
"I Seen a Man Die" is crazy. 🔥🔥🔥
TUPAC & SCARFACE, TOP 2 OF GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!
Face has always been in my top 5. Mr. Scarface is Back is a groundbreaking album for so many tropes in rap - most notably the gangster who is haunted by his own deeds. Scarface not only invented that but also immortalized it as a rap staple. Plus, he has hella emotional depth!
His discography is top 5 all time. Still making good music after nearly 30 years in the game. Best MC from the south. Smile is one of the best songs I ever heard, in any genre. That’s all I gotta say. Peace.
K-Rino is the best emcee from the South and most likely all of hip hop. When you break everything down objectively, using objective criteria, K-Rino is leagues above anyone else.
The Fix was my favorite and my opinion was his best album heaven song always hits me along with in between us
So many gems on that project. Super well put together. Beats are incredible.
The Company Man I know it's hard to pick a favorite love the production as well so organic that's a rare album where pressing the skip button is a big No no
"The Boy FACE up at Baseline FACEMOB!!!!!!!" - JAY Z
And don't Forget Zaywop name a song after Scarface on Cilvia Demo. No one had more impact in the south than FACEMOB gotta love man.
Respect to Justin #TBDShow
Face is incredible man! That joint was tough!
Facts all day 🔥🔥🔥
"Mary Jane" and "They Smart" off of "Untouchable"....classics
Bro it was not one weak song on the Untouchable album absolute classic from start to end
A TRUE LEGEND!!!
Mr.Scarface is Back
The World is Yours
The Diary
The Untouchable
The Fix
All Classics
I know this video is 6yrs old at this point and all but still, I was born the same yr Scarface dropped his first album. Thanks putting this out there. Now I have to go through his catalog
Damnnnnn, why am I only seeing this video now?
I've long waited for someone to take the time, to give this man his props.
Justin, salute to you sir. I know I'm two years late, but better late than never as they say.
If anyone and I mean anyone deserves to have their name illuminated for eternity.
It's Scarface...nuff said
Face is a legend. Not much needed to be said
I disagree, I think we need to elaborate cos the word 'legend' gets thrown around too much these days.
As one of the comments above rightly points out...Face Is Beyond A Legend. We need to find another for this great man.
ICON would be one way to go.
Face is the GOAT
Man I grew up on Scarface. He made being from Houston something to be proud of. He laid the foundation on what Hip-Hop would become in the south and everywhere really
As someone born in 99' my top 5 is:
Andre 3000
Kendrick Lamar
MF Doom (this guy is so fkn good its ridiculous)
Tupac
Jay
Thats not rlly in order cause it changes all the time but Andre 3k prolly my fave of all time.
3Stax is amazing.
Nas
My subjective top 15:
1)Nas
2)Andre 3000
3)Black Thought
4)Kendrick Lamar
5)MF DOOM (I came back to this comment because your comment is what made me start listening to DOOM and now he is dead)
6)Jay Z
7)Kanye West
8)Lupe Fiasco
9)El-P
10)Mos Def
11)Scarface
12)Ghostface Killah
13)Aesop Rock
14)Q-Tip
15)Pusha T
Your list is dope 👌 🙌
Scarface is definitely the GOAT. He sits on the throne while I continuously debate with others about who my top 5 contenders are.. Real shit!
"I told 'face he was the realest in the game." - Fatal Hussein featured in 'Tupac Joint' by Jim Jones
Another great video my personal top 5 no order:
Ghostface Killah
Scarface
Pac
Nas
MF Doom
Just my take
Super solid list!
The1Don GFK & Scarface are my 1a/1b top rappers. Two of the greatest.
The Company Man Y'all got to do a why Ghostface is underrated TBD. Ghost basically owns the style of stream of consciousness rap. I can't think of too many rappers who can just stream random thoughts into a verse without it sounding disjointed or goofy. He's the only rapper with their own genre.
thats a tuff list
Remember listening to Scarface's track with 2pac, Smile, back in the day. Was a haunting and poignant track.
Scarface prayer at the end was a powerful tribute to a departed friend.
Yes! 'Face definitely in my Top 10. Classic after classic, everyone's been influenced by him, whether directly or indirectly. Keep doing ya thing, Justin!
Great Analysis The Company Man. I personally admire that Scarface has remained consistent over the years in terms of content and quality, something most rappers couldn't do. Face had the rare ability to express his vulnerabilities yet still remain badass. Shout out from Ethiopia, Africa. Keep up the good work Justin.
Thank you!!
Anytime you read an album cover and see Scarface featured on a song, you automatically know it’s probably the best song on the album.
oh and "G Code" off of the Geto Boys "Foundation" album which he also produced
Scarface is without a doubt the greatest of all time!!!!
in 2018, Mr. Scarface will be the greatest of all time for 30 years straight. your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. day 1 fan
Chris Brown real shit!
Deeply Rooted is my favorite Scarface album. Can't believe his last is his best.
Scarface verse on "This Can't Be Life" made me an immediate fan and put him in my top 5
Justin, your shirt game is absurd.
Also, how much did Jude pay you to make this? ;D
Ha! Thank you sir. Face definitely deserves the recognition. I feel like I could've made this video only using Jude soundbites from the All Out Show. Ha!
I totally think you could haha. I had a behind the scenes question i wanted to ask you. Do you work on each episode within the week it's going to go live, or have you already picked a topic and been researching and script writing for next weeks episode before this one is finished? Just curious. Love the show as always. Keep it up.
Depends. I absolutely have an editorial calendar so I always have a topic ready for each week. But on weeks where a big story breaks, Ill adjust. That's the Screaming Fire In A Stadium piece, for example. We're a lot faster on the production that we used to be so it gives us more flexibility on topics. That'll help when we roll out new shows in the coming weeks too.
The Company Man great insightful video on scarface he is definitely one of the greatest but why don't you do a goat argument video on female emcees (missy elliot or lauryn hill)
dontetank09 MC Lyte is the GFOAT...
Never found the time to check out Scarface. This video made me want to buy, not torrent his stuff. Thank you, Justin.
Also, MF DOOM is the true favorite rapper's favorite rapper.
Ian Cruz Nah Scarface is way more influential than DOOM. This from a big DOOM fan.
Ian Cruz nah chill scarface has way more influence over the game
You need to listen to all of Faces albums and the Geto Boys also. Everything that they have is 🔥 He's the GOAT and that's a 🎤 drop.
Justin.. you the man i love your channel
Please do method man.. the best flow in hip hop period
We also need a wu tang video.. or a "best hip hop groups of all time" video
Thanks McLovin. I have an idea for a meth piece I've been wanting to do for a while. It'll happen.
The Company Man YES!! Can't wait for it.. a big thank you from me big man.
The Company Man This is why you're the best, man! You listen to the people, and you're already one and two steps ahead when it comes to what we want. Keep it up, Justin!
I've been waiting on you to do this one. "My Homies" is still in my rotation.
This is a solid case wayyy better argument than Andre 3000.
Channel1Mind All Andre ever needed was that solo album. It's a shame he never dropped one.
He admitted that he was always nervous... Andre 3000
Andre still top 4/5 DoA
@@crabmanboyjake2077 He needed a Real Solo album plus years of good consistency writing which he has none of.
@@lyrics2challenged If he's in your top 5 then your top 5 must consist of trash 1 hit wonders like MiMs or J-Kwan. Andre 3000 being in top 5 debate Is an insult to Rappers who put out album constantly.
you should do one of these for Ghostface Killah
Will do.
Yes
Best case I've heard for goat. Without Scarface there's no Biggie, Jay, Kanye, Kendrick, Uzi. Take those 5 out and hip hop looks very different.
Ryan Rabaca wouldn’t be much different without Uzi. In fact it will probably be better
Did Rude Jude force you to do this one? Just kidding man I love scar but jude LOVES him
EMOTIONAL DEPTH!!! Ha!
The Company Man Can you please do the next TBD on Royce Da 5'9 I have been dying to see that.
Sold to the south scene? Not sure what you mean.
The Company Man If you can't do Royce Da 5'9 then can you do a G.O.A.T. piece on Common that would be perfect.
The Company Man For the next TBD you should do a G.O.A.T. piece on Royce Da 5'9 that would be really great to see and I know that a lot of people would love that.
Definitely one of the greats. Especially being a Southern guy, he represented the South well and help widen the scope of rap. Helped put us on the map!
Thanks Justin I'm checking out Scarface immediately. Ive been missing out I think
As always, appreciate your insightful commentary and appreciate you putting me on to someone I've been sleeping on for years!
justiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin, your best pieces are when you jam social relevance into hiphop themed discussions, nonetheless, great piece as always
That's dope. I love doing those too. Glad you dig them. Usually heads just ask for GOAT pieces all day.
Badreddine Amine it's a classic that definitely should be platinum plus!!!
Thats what some of the "bitter old heads" should do. Use the lyricism on modern production. Case in point, look at Juicy J who didnt change his style. Not to take a jab at Old Heads, I bump a lot of 90s music.
Beyond his story telling craft, his delivery is incredible. At times it's close to singing, giving his lyrics an extra oomph
ScArFaCe's EmOtIoNaL DePtH.
I love your views..spot on..
I really liked that you talked about which albums and songs to listen to from face on the outro. Keep up the good work
Thanks Nick!
tupac got that ready to die mentality from scarface too..i actually told him that but he was humble about it …true story 👌🏾
Face is in my Top 3 due to a combination of realness/authenticity and consistency. What's crazy is that when most people stay consistent, they usually fall off because they don't change with the times. The reason I think Face avoids all that is because though other guys will stay consistent, their character foundations are rooted into something more artificial than authentic.
My analogy would be - Face' character is the raw mineral, Gold. Where other rappers could have a similar a Gold standard of a character, they do other bs to give off the image that they are something more than that, in this case White Gold. That's cool for a short time being, but when rappers who came out with a Platinum character, that pretty much exposed White Gold for being a faux mineral to compete with Platinum. But no one can take away the importance of the raw mineral, Gold. Gold dates back way further than Platinum and is still the preference mineral to many over Platinum. That's what Face is to me.
Interesting analogy, Slays. Thanks for that.
Nah, thank YOU for all the dope content. I've waited so long for a channel like yours that I thought maybe it would never come. Your hard work is much appreciated, and your channel brings a much needed dissection and analysis of the culture and it's participants. Me, "I'm just a travellin' man". 🙏
He has so much power and angst behind his voice yet delivered it in a calm manner. One of the greatest
Definitely in the conversation
Introducing rappers to Scarface is like putting them through a fire
thanks for comin down south wit the vid...much respect
Fucken finally, been waiting for a Scarface breakdown for like a year!
Another great TBD, love it.
I have everything I can get my hands on a couple years ago he came to Fort Wayne Indiana and I got to see him in person...He is always in my car on my phone I love him so much ...Prayers for the GOAT who may be facing Lung Cancer Luv u Face...
Great episode glad you brought GOAT topic along with you.
Thanks, Boz.
MR.MR.SCARFACE is the greatest of all time!!
Great video Justin, made me realise why everybody rates Scarface so highly (especially Jude like damn). Never really listened to the Geto boys enough. Also, nominations for an episode on this. DOOM (so many DOOmbots in the comments, Royce da 5'9, AZ, Guru, Big Pun, Big Daddy Kaneor LL Cool J, DMX and Canibus (personal Favourite of mine). Loving the content recently Justin.
Thank you Krishnan!
2pac said face was one of his favorite as well remember smile for me!
I was born in '84. I was introduced to Richard Pryor around 2004 after growing up on Def Comedy, Martin, etc. After I saw Pryor's work, I could see his influence on every black comedian that followed. That sample of Biggies and Hov then Face gave me chills and the exact feeling Pryor gave me. Thanks for reason to stick my southern hip hop chest out a little further.
I'm glad I found your channel because you really do your research and you know what you're talking about. I love listening to you and your channel and podcast and Rude Jude adds a certain element to your channel that is irreplaceable. Keep up the Great Work
Ive been waiting on this piece a long time, Face is in my top 5, he was Pacs favorite rapper too, I was just listening to his MADE album the other day, very underrated album in his discography
Made. Emeritus. Deeply Rooted. Face's unheralded albums are great! That joint "Git Out My Face' is one of my all time favs.
Man this is good
Really enjoyed this video & dat ending line b4 da #credits made me smile... very smooth,magne.
Justin broke it all the way down. He did a great job . I been a GB & Face fan. Great video.
Been patienly waiting for this one. Great Video.
Bout damn time! Been waiting for this since I first came across the breakdown. Thank you Justin!
thank you 👑
I truly believe Scarface is the goat. He’s got it all and is still around while pretty much putting the south on the map
Face albums had the gritiest and most melodic intros to start his albums...they always set the tone. Then the outro to be a bookend to the work. Genius artist
Goat Goat Scarface...............This my favorite Rapper point blank.
I wonder if that Rude Jude fellow would agree. I don't have the answer to this.
People just don't understand how intense on the mic this man is. His music is beautiful and powerful and holds the meaning of everything pertaining to the streets also with raw emotions that shows the world that he is only human battling struggles that we all go through. Face lyrics make you feel like you know him personally.
I love how much I learn from these weekly breakdowns. Dropping knowledge 💯
I get way too excited when I see your videos
Congratulations Scarface! His music help me through a lot of my life when I was a problem teenager. Now he is one of influential Kings that I know and he is real.
Chimyra Atkins Real shit!
