Scarface on Ghostwriting and Reality Rapping

- www.vladtv.com - There are rumors of a Scarface and Ice Cube joint album floating around, which the Houston legend addressed during an exclusive interview with VladTV. He made the collaboration seem like a possibility, telling us, "We're both on that independent s*** right now."
Speaking more about Ice Cube, Scarface addressed World Class Wreckin' Crew founder Alonzo Williams telling VladTV that the "No Vaseline" emcee was a "good actor" when it came to his gangster status. When asked about Williams' comments, Scarface admitted that while he believes Cube is a genius writer, he never believed that he was a true gangster.
The conversation also touched on ghostwriting in hip-hop, which Scarface had two viewpoints about. When the question was first presented to him, the "On My Block" emcee pointed out that Beyonce and Taylor Swift, two of the biggest artists today, have people write their songs. However, Scarface said he would be very upset if he found out Rakim or Kool G Rap didn't write their own rhymes.
To hear more of what Scarface had to say during our sit-down, hit the above clip.
Face is a living legend!
@Christopher Priester indeed
I was just saying that @ 3:50💯💯💯
Fake news.
Fuck ya
Facts!
Cube embodied the voice of the people in the hood during those times, trying to prove he's a gangster was not the point

#STR8UP ... !!!
Vlad sounds like a 10 year old.
He still rolled with Eazy and walked away when he felt like he got shafted, so I feel Cube is gangster coz he ain’t let nobody treat him like a bitch.
And Eazy was def affiliated
@@silentrevolver4600 shid cube wasn't acting like a gangster when he was in chicago and had to take them pics with them gds after he said no
HOW BOUT VLAD INTERVIEW CUBE & ASK THE MAN HIMSELF.. JUST A THOUGHT
Cube wouldn't come on here.
Vlad wouldn’t dare interview Cube or Suge bc he’s pussy
Its obvious vlad didn't do his research Cube already cleared this out in his 1992 interview he did with some news lady , saying rap is entertainment and comparing how actors kill people in movies, you dont think their scary in real life.
Vlad is the white Wendy Williams.
@@themessengeromari TRUTH!
MC Lyte said "who writes ya rhymes might as well hold ya microphone"
Geeez Nuutz93 hence why he said his "women crush of all time"
She didn’t write all her shit. Especially on her last two albums.
@@WattsUpTez10mm source?
Her brother Milk D wrote her shit
She had a ghostwriter
What Ice Cube did is nothing different from a writer of a Movie.........
ice cubes body guard would smack u for that
Exactly how I’ve always felt. Martin Scorsese wasn’t a gangster
Writers write, actors act, ice cube cube.
No it’s little deeper than that. I’m sure he’s rapping on the things that was happening around him. A writer of a movie may not had witnessed or been around half of the shit they write about
The diary and the fix are 2 masterpieces

Scarface presents The Product
I never remember Ice Cube talking about gang banging he was just his own man. He was more revolutionary rapper than gangsta rapper.
💯
Political rapper
No different from Tupac
Idgaf if Bushwick Bill had ghostwriters he still goes hard asf
When he said he never seen a gun, a rock, or a brick of coke... He won me
I don’t buy it. He was a drug dealer. Even small time dealers only been in the game a month seen a rock and a gun. Unless he just dealt weed
@@cristiandelvillar3121 i dealt weed and i seen guns and rocks still
@@elipav484 face living by the street code which is u don't tell ur business on the streets or on camera...
Face is smart. So respectful and respected by the lyricists and gangstas at the same time.
He forgot to say excuse me officer before he said that
you don't necessarily have to be killing and robbing, slanging dope to be gangster. You be in the hood 24/7 around everybody doing bad, yu do your lil dirt and that is what it is
Stuntman Beatz I agree
Real nigga shit
@fredrik grime i will make sweet love to u and tuck u good night whoever writes yo rhymes might as well hold ur mic........i wanna hold ur mic daddy
Now
@fredrik grime bro read the autobiography. Face isn't dumb enough to get caught up in vlad be line of questioning
Scarface said I ain't ever see a brick nor gun..lol..he pretty much saying vlad mind ya business
yepblol
Only MC on Vlad who said...."I never have seen a gun or crack nothing"......LOL Face is the man.
He was being FACEtious
@@mateovigil9587 i see what you did there. brilliant
Only in HIS interviews can you see through the artist of the 90s. How times have CHANGED.
Funny shit bro....Vlad dont know shit about Face lol. If he did his homework he'd know about the shootouts etc lmao
Actually PeeWee Longway did the same thing I applaud both
There's a reason why musicians and rappers are also called ARTISTS.
ppl 4got that main part
+larry89 y
Yea facts. But you have to recognize the allure of gangster rap. At some point the gangster rapper was exposed and suburban america lost their minds. A real life Godfather. And ever since then the industry have been chasing that monetary high.
I love the energy he gives Vlad. Scarface can tell he's full of sht & knws not to be drawn into the mess tht Vlad tries to instigate. He speaks slowly & thghtfully, never answering too fast or foolishly.
“I done been in fists fights with n***** twice my size, got an incredible record, 27-5”
Favorite Scarface line of all time
and da 5 loses i got i had to redeem'em
So he had to fight me every time I seen him
Yeah okay tuff guy. Sounds like you heard about someone else and took there life story mark A** B****
Face is the G.O.A.T best storyteller ever. You can feel and visualize everything he’s talking about. That’s what rap was supposed to be about from it’s conception.
🐐face💯
DMX too he and Scarface Wille D Bush Wick Bill should have been a group
Cube was never a G nor Dre, they never claimed to be. Just real dudes from the hood wit talent
PERIOD!
Dre clamed to be gangsta cube never did
He was speaking about how messed up the system was
@@RealJamesJones24 he took it up the neegus like pac and biggy by diddy
Fi real..dont know Wat the hell vlad be reaching####for
The look on Brads face when Vlad brought up NORE talkin' about real wild out shit is fuckin' priceless. LMFAO!!!
Wide eyes 👀
"i never even seen a gun" no snitching
He ain't snitching
me just me. me just me. Yeah smart. No self snitching. People get pissed at Vladimir for asking the questions but the person providing the answers should be in full control. (Just like Brad)
"dont kno what a rock is. never seen a brick of cocaina." letting vllad kno not to be coming wit those questions. and Face even pulled out his phone to randomly open a app.
@Rudy Cota gangstas dont live that long
Smart man !...Went over ALOT of ppl heads !
lmao @ 2:56 look at scarface eyes when vlad brings up Nore and how he claim he was catchin bodies
Man-Of-War-347 😂😂😂
Nicca never said nothin about catching bodies. He was talking about ppl he shot and probably already did time for - theres a big difference smh
MultiBillionHeir don’t matter, some people don’t like talking other people’s business at anytime, especially 2nd or 3rd hand.
Damn Vladimir... I still can't believe you asked Face a question about Cube's gangsta.
😳Who does that!?
vlad dont like cube for some reason
Scarface keeps it cool and says he never saw any of that lol read his autobiography he tells all 😂
shady hodge I was going to say the same thing.
Ya great how he says "i never seen a gun. Never seen a brick of cocaine." Lmao
@@piercdbruh yup ..face book 🔥🔥💯...
Face knew who he was talking to 😭😭😭
“I got the mind of the man in the mirror so I’m lookin at me vaguely but I can’t seem to fade me” favorite face line.
Scareface given props to kool g rap,krs1, and rakim
LOL at 2:56! Scarface's face when Vlad tells him the NORE stuff.
At 8:30 Scarface was tryna get Vlad to throw him some words but Vlad so dense he just left the God hanging in awkward silences looool
I aint never seen a gun, I aint never seen a rock, I aint never seen a brick of cocaine... No sir
i aint seen sht officer this guy gets it
me either....
Scarface is smart. He ain't admitting, crsp on camera.
@@hiiipoweriii2211 have u even listened to what he was saying during the interview?
Vlad a rat why do they even talk to him
Himltoutu Fenton yktship adtbe
I can’t stand when Vlad talks like hes Street! It’s embarrassing that he thinks he’s cool 🤦♂️
That just how we talk from the bay is all
when Vlad said "1 hunnid" I almost went to another video
If rappers do what they rap about all their asses would be in jail forever.
Monica Rae monica ur beautiful, i wanna be ur drawz for a day
factz
I'd rather listen to the real then a buck of lies tbh
Are your thoughts on 2pac or were your thoughts on 2pac, who claimed to keep it real. Which I am a 2pac fan of his work by the way. I respect who he is as a person, not just a rapper.
Well not really cause they don’t live like that
Cube never claimed to be a gangster in the first place...
Who Started This Gangsta Ish? This The Mthfka Thanks I Get -CUBE
Scarface keeps to the G code and that's down af

"My Summer Vacation" - dope song
If you ain't heard Scarface single "Steer" go listen to it. That shit should win best song of the year deepest song out right now
Yea da shyt deep
That shit's dope AF 💯💯💯
For fuck sake Cube cleared this up years ago. He admitted he wasn't a Gangster and he had to be in the house by a certain time. He said he had Cousin into this shit, but not him. Niggaz are fuckin late. End of the Day Cube is Top 15 of all time and NWA would be nothing without him.
2ballz 1cup I know.
top15 ? eh cube was decent but not top10 or even 15 lol
His TOP 15 IS HIS. It's all subjective.
I wouldn't say that cubes the man but that NIGGA Z 4 LIFE album wasn't no pushover homie.

Arguably the Greatest from the West. (Depending if you're counting Pac).
IF SOMEBODY ELSE WRITES YOUR RHYMES THEY MITE AS WELL HOLD YO MICROPHONE!!!!! PERIOD!!!!
Tango Ca$h Word To "MC LYTE"...
"We got secrets that we'll take to the grave."
Hip hop is an art form it's from the deepest darkest corner of your mind it's just like writing a song it's on a similar level only in hip hop you don't sing, you rap your lyrics to musical beat.
True it's in a lot of us
Ice cube never rapped about gang-bangin. Doin hood shit or dealin with situations that go on in the hood is an everyday occurence, whether you in a gang or not. Ice Cube was a Crip Affiliate, and he made that clear.Never dissed bloods, never dissed Crip. Respect to Cube; keep inspiring. Vlad you keep hatin.
Vlad should interview Slim Thug!

or young thug

Salute... brad Jordan aka Face
Scarface ready to leave.

Exactly
There's a difference between telling a story and claiming that what you're saying is you. There's a difference between saying this is a story and saying "this is my life". Kids are dying over this desire to make their stories true life experiences. Emcees should write for themselves, but if they can't don't act like you do. Say you have ghost writers if you have ghost writers. It's when you hide it that it becomes a problem. Hip Hop Culture demands for authenticity not limits. I respect the Emcees who speak the truth and write their own shit. There's a difference between Rap industry and Hip Hop Culture.
+Zayd Shakur thankkkkk youuuuuuuuuu - why can't anybody understand that? Vlad sits there thinking hip hop is held to a different standard. "Johnny Cash never shot anybody" - well guess the fuck what, there should be ONE form of artistry where the people speak their truth - what's wrong with that? Damn...
I wonder if MADDRONN from ST. Paul Minnesota was a ghostwriter, and after his death was his music stolen and/or given to ScarFace thru MaddRonn's family member? Is that a secret you take to the grave?
Very True.
@@LadyDevastating Enough to write 11 albums?
@@skepchica Tupac accepted a deceased man's rap from some of the OG'S (SCARFACE & DR. DRA) Didn't think he had to tell. He created an image out of it, great acting job. Then the MaddRonn Makaveli CURSE started to hold the rappers accountable.
Love listening to Scarface! I listen to him over and over get new shit out of it every time!
Scare face eyes popped out of his head
rap is different than rNb and pop in the since that the lyrics are the actually talent vs a singers voice being the talent
Face is the coldest ever!
Remember rhat Gangsters are thinkers 1st with a strong moral structure very respectful, and in my opinion, not folding under pressure or changing up is what makes you a G, not being caught being involved in criminal activity
Gosh,VLAD! It's almost as if you were expecting rappers to be reading from "police reports" or from behind bars!
damnnn u sexy
FACE no doubt in the top 10 #1 out the south
I rated him higher
That ain't sayin much.
What you need to hear?
@@josephparker6510 not many great rappers come out of the south.
Top 5 of the south
This mane Drinking juice, texting, half listening to Vlad 👉😂😂😂😂
Scarface actually put the whole thing in perspective, good interview.
VLAD DRY SNITCHIN ON NORE LOL
+Benny Blanco shit nore snitching on nore lol
How is Vlad dry snitching when nore himself admitted it on camera? Stop trying to blame Vlad for every damn thing, that shit is corny
+Benny Blanco Nore said it on camera, so Nore snitched on himself.
+justforkickschris did you see Face when Vlad said that? Right after that, "I ain't never seen a gun, or a rock or a brick of cocaine" lol... ain't bout to jam me up with my own words lol
Nore dry snitched on Nore lol
Great point on telling a vivid story. Every song doesn't have to be lived.
i do feel Hip hop limits itself when i comes to writing and collaborating.
Damn...he was real laid back til he started talking about writing rhymes...he got live as hell!!!
Singing and rapping are two different things. I can write a song and not be able to sing the song. But as far as rap if I wrote it I can say it
His depression literally radiates off the screen
Vlad has always had an issue with Ice Cube.
Vlad has a way to make you confess in a interview lol
If the rappers did what they said they did I'm sure they'd have life sentences or death sentences...
You can't compare singing and rapping when it comes to writing. With singing, it's about the voice. Not every singer wants to be a songwriter and not every singer can write a song. When it comes to Hip Hop, it's about skill and originality.
Studio Gangsters rapping like they did when we know they dont, and acting like they will when we know they wont... but being right in the midst of Gangster shit and not folding or changing, and being lyrical capable of capturing a scope on what you see, and creatively melodically conveying a view, perspective, and moral standpoint is Gangster
@3:29 lmmfaoo when scarface said "i aint neve seen a gun" lmaoo
He is so intelligent, real, great rapper, should get plenty more credit, nice looking gentleman in, out, God bless his heart
Scarface is the best rapper of all time.
No debate
i dont bang i rock the good rhymes the whole scenery reminded me of good times
Bruce Miller the whole scenery reminded me of good times
Face like, "Nigga holdup for a min...damn." 😆😆😆
Face refused to take self incrimination bait..😂
Him pulling out his phone got me dying. 😂😂😂 "Okay. Alrite. Das cool."
His collaborations is what sets him apart. Things got crazy at one point
His pen is what sets him apart. Nobody touching Face.
Tupac. Face was intimidated by the speed of the lyrics during a session and left the studio
@@robb4879 Sorry, I never heard that. Picture Face being intimidated.
Tupac was writing lyrics on the floor with a gun on the backside. No disrespect to Face
a lot of people would be mad and disappointed if someone wrote Rakim shit.
It is absolutely no surprise to me that J. Prince wrote, Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta'. That's it was pure genius, especially the way J. played the roll of the president with that cool, lated back southern tone of voice. J. Prince did that shit honorably!!!
It's all about whether you even really feel what you say, and say what you feel.
Ice cube was writing about what he observed along with the energy he absorbed from living in the hood...that's all...and also it's easy for him to rap about it simply because he didn't experienced it...
Dam i wish they would do a album together
Deeply Rooted goes hard! #Salute to Face.
Big facts
Scar face lookin like the bud hits hi, harder after Losing all that weight
One of the greatest lyricist i heard spit right here Scarface
Vlad just because he wrote bout gangsta shit. Doesn't mean he lived it or done it. Its called story telling and being a lyricists. Ice Cube and Scarface are 2 of the best.
'Face's face when he raised that Orange Crush up,look at his eyes doe! @2:56
Are we interviewing the DRUM KIT or Scareface, and its not in focus.
***** well its still poor camera work, but thanks
it's an old technique. it a not bad just goes for a different effect.
Lmaoooo
The drum set said to kiss its ass
Haha nice dude
The difference between ghost writing in singing and ghost writing in rapping is that the singers talent is their singing voice and although there's an art to performing raps, the rapper's talent is their writing. Nobody ever screws up thier face while listening to beyonce cause that was a hard bar, and inversely, nobody ever screws up their face cause a rapper performed his bars well.
One of the realest out there that's still going...salute to you real O.G. ghetto Boyz for life🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Real legend from the south.mad respect from the east coast.

I can't tell if scarface is just bored and doesn't want to be there or if he's on one...
classic Ice Cube, line, I ain't no gangster I write the (sic) good lines
Scarface is a beast in the rap game👑👑👑👑
Im shocked...Scarface drinks Crush???!!!!!
That’s my drink..lol
Scarface looking like why the f*ck I'm here with this guy!!
He's so charismatic..he doesn't gaf and it's attractive
I love the faces he's making O-O
I disagree with the conversation. Ghost writing for a rapper is different than writing for a singer. A singer talent is their singing talent. A rapper who needs a ghost writer talent is what? I anybody can read somebody lines. Anybody!!!!
Nah bra. Good rappers can ride a beat. The way a person can manipulate a 16 is considered an art in itself. Everybody can read a verse yes, but you cannot take any person put em on a beat and make it a classic. No Way.
Basically a rapper is like a poet whos claiming they are a poet but somebody else is writing their poems instead of the claim to be poet... I get you!!
People use to say a lot of people wrote Face raps. Good to know the truth.
Face wrote a lot of ppl raps, nobody wrote for Face.
Scarface's laugh at 10:58..classic.
