Scarface: Tiny Desk Concert

Scarface's Tiny Desk concert radiates with his decadeslong passion as an emcee and producer. There's calculated intent behind every word and note of this 30-minute set and I learned that his love for golf also runs deep during our initial meeting. He was playing a round and had difficulty dividing his attention between the plan and the course. Three days before the show, amid rehearsals, I got a call from Facemob asking, "What if I brought Mike Dean?" My expectations were already high, but that final addition set the stage for something special.
Mike Dean provided unmatched authenticity, and their shared stories added sentimental value to this performance. After all, his signature keys and synths can be heard on most of Scarface's classics and countless Rap-A-Lot records. Here, we get a rare glimpse of Scarface the conductor, bouncing through multiple eras of his catalog including "On My Block," "Mary Jane" and the bone-chilling "I Seen a Man Die."
Scarface, along with Rakim, was recently awarded the inaugural Hip-Hop Grandmaster Award from the newly launched Paid in Full Foundation, which includes a sizable financial prize and healthcare. No matter how the never-ending hip-hop greats debate is sliced, the rapper's place is cemented as one of the most influential storytellers in the culture and his Tiny Desk is proof.

@@seabassdarapper that’s actually facts
Listen to Cambatta. He just released an album a few days ago entitled Holy Ghost 3.
Exactly!
I love how the Tiny Desk shows the world that true MC's are not just rappers, but well rounded Musicians that understand all aspects of music. Don't just put Hip Hop artist into one box.
Well said!!!!❤
For sure, an understanding of rhythm and poetry

On My Block with a full band makes my heart warm.
agree sir
Ah ah ah! Durand Benarr is on par with this......
🥰🥰🥰
This is easily one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever witnessed in Hip Hop.
People don't realize how legendary Mike Dean is! This is truly a moment.
Mike Dean with long sponge hair
We do down south baby
AND HES STILL GOING!
That part.
He can thank face and face can thank him they both are legends
Just about a year or so ago, we almost lost Face, thank God his son was able to provide that kidney. Normalize giving our icons their roses while they can still smell them. Normalize giving our legends their proper respect and credit. His music, his message, made it ok to feel, made it ok to go through changes mentally, made it okay to be human. Thank you for everything you have done to enrich this culture Brad Jordan aka Scarface. 💯💯👑👑🐐🐐
smell crazy hit
Well said ❤
Thank God he made it 🙏🏼❤️❤️
Facts !
Yes, indeed. 💯
When that Man said, "There is something about good music"... I felt everything in that.

This is what happens when our legend grow old. Hip hop soul.
Well said

I was present for this Tiny Desk and I can tell you that his passion for his craft and his family was even stronger in person. A phenomenal performance.
Man! That was a blessing to be in attendance. Watching this on RUclips, gave me constant chills

All FACTS!!!
This is the comment!!!!!
Legit
This was deep. I can only imagine the stories going through his mind and the pain in his heart while performing this. This also shows that real hip-hop artists are actually great musicians and not just fools screaming in a mic. This is a perfect 10 for me.
10!
Art always imitates life. The people who are a part of the culture understand.
Absolutely! 💯

Scarface’s appreciation for music is something else. And didn’t know he was also a talented musician
My dad passed recently and I cried when Scarface dropped "I Seen A Man Die".
I helped prepare him for burial and this reminded me of that sacred moment. 🙏🏽
RIP to your Father!
REST IN POWER 🙏🏿👊🏿✊🏿

My sincere condolences 💐

Have had this on repeat since it was posted. Absolutely amazing. Much love to Tiny Desk for setting this up. Scarface and Mike Dean are legends and I’m glad they are getting the flowers they deserve. 🙌🏾
Seriously, Mike Dean's catalog is sooooooo Deep. Dude has been involved in so many hits.
Scarface legend in the hip-hop/rap game. Always appreciated his story telling.
I swear I’m at least 50 of the views
After all his health issues I'm glad Scarface blessed us with this. Shout out Mike Dean the band and the backing singers too. This is a top 10 npr performance imo.
Most def. Cheers to more life!
I feel the same!❤️
💣
You took the words out of my mouth...And Hi-key I can see that in his performance. He knows he's blessed and it's all on display! This was emotional for me! Salute Scarface! 💯💯💯💯
Top 1
You are watching a genius at work, his emotions, he plays an instrument, he’s a storyteller and watch him compose his music live! 🔥🔥🔥
Facemoooob! He should be mentioned with the greats more often.
Yes!!!!!!!! 🙌🏾
I honestly feel honored to watch this. Im glad NPR gave this man the recognition and respect he deserves. Salute to Scarface 🔥 ❤
Facts. Growing up on Face had u looking at life decisions early.

Scarface, nat dogg are unique in their voices. I'm Brazilian today, 56 years old, I have many CDs by these great artists. Scarface with his powerful voice is my favorite, good health brother. Greetings from a black Brazilian, thanks brother.
Where is all the ladies with the the nice Bunda in Brasil?
Smoothe is all i can say about his voice....
👊🏿✊🏿
Respect to Mike dean cruising along on the moog there. The mans reach across the various eras of hip hop is phenomenal
As an average white bloke from Australia, crews like Gheto Boys and NWA told me stories, of places, and the people, that I never experienced or understood However, the stories they told broke my heart in that that there are people in this world who have been punched down on for so long, yet still provide art as poignant and intelligent as this. Thank you.
Respect 👍🏿
If everyone in the world saw it from the perspective you had… I wish.. the world would be a far better place..
I respect and appreciate this comment.
This comment right here 🙏🏾
Same here... hiphop has taught me so much, gave me so much perspective
This could have been 10 hours long and I’d have still watched every second of it. This was an amazing performance
Forreal!
No doubt
Scarface is the read deal
Yup several times to
For real… I didnt want it to end… I audibly said “NOOOO!” When it ended 😢
Me and my twin brother actually had the pleasure to tour with Scarface when this was first developing back in 2008. We were the Original horn players, trumpet/saxophone!! Scarface called us the MF Horn playin twins🤣🤣🤣! We were aiming for MTV unplugged spot but at that time along with a euro tour!! Im so happy this moment finally happened for someone so deserving as Scarface!! He’s an HTOWN LEGEND and HERO who’s dedicated so much time to music and the city!!!! Thanks Scarface for giving us the opportunity to be apart of something so prolific!!!!!
❤
❤️👏🏿✊🏿
That’s dope❤
The prayer on “Smile” hits harder on this version!
Man, I am 50 years old and when I say THIS hit differently...these lyrics hit SO different. I'm a high school teacher and when I say there's a lesson in the music...THERE IS. I guess I've seen and lived through quite a bit. Scarface, thanks for this short journey❤️🙏🏿.
Real talk. If “Face” isn’t top 10 lyricist” of all time… Then people need to re-think what the definition of “lyricist” is!!!!

Right there with you, 32 yrs old forgot how much face I listened to.❤
Feels & Chills! Ice ran through my veins!
On My Block! ! RIP Homies 🙏🏾
I'm 57 years old we grew up listening to the best music ever, from the 70s 80s 90s and early 200s 😅
Mike Dean is killin’ the keys! This whole concert is an example of beautiful music and poetry that’s timeless.
Maaaaan lol crazy
You tripping Big Homie
💯👌🏾
He’s made a lot of hits for texas rappers 🔥🔥
❤
One of the best rap voices ever. He is never monotone.
Tiny desk, you did it again...
Scarface. "Excellent "
I'm a 42 year old Houston native born and raised. This was viewed on Christmas Eve morning with my 65-year-old mom she sat through the whole set and had an appreciation for my music after, so a BIG thank you face & all involved for this.
Htown till I drown
💯🤘🏽
Bless you and your family 🙏🏾
Same here, Brother, born in 81. This is the Soundtrack to our youth!
This why face in my top 5. Legendary shyt.
Thats awesome man!!!!
I can’t be the only one who didn’t want this to end. Chills the whole way through!
Chills for real. Took me back man. That nostalgia hit hard!
Teenage years flashing before my eyes
Hit me in the feels and chills! When Smile came on.. dam!
Bruh….couldn’t sleep….
This is on repeat in my car mane!
Scarface is a true legend! Face will always be in my Top Five Greatest Rappers of all times! Miss those days!!
"On My Block" is one of my favorite hip-hop songs. To me, it was just Scarface telling a story of his home. I loved it. Hearing it like this makes it even more amazing. Whoever put this together, thank you. Thank you, Scarface.
Mine too sir !!!!
This is what they called “He showed up and showed out” this is such a phenomenal performance! Scarface is badly underrated! Legendary
He is definitely not underrated he gets his props in the industry and by fans the man been over def jam south
Anyone who has been listening to rap for more than like 5 years knows already.
FACTS
Been cold!
Seasoned it!!!
Scarface’s tone, lyricism, musicianship, and delivery paints a picture perfectly! This was beyond dope!
Perfectly said!
Mos Def
No doubt
I almost shed a tear when he did “seen a man die” 🔥🔥🔥🔥classic … my favorite Scarface song!!!!! Seeing her perform it like this gave me chills 😮💨
This performance brought some emotions out of me man. This was amazing!!!
Scarface and Mike Dean raised the bar to the highest in the Tiny Desk history. After this performance, artists who are planning to do a tiny desk concert, will think twice to do it or not.
You have to put the work in it. And this is the result of 30 years +
What about Juvie and Mannie Fresh??
They probably watching too lol@@DK-bl4hp
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Uncle Charlie and Mesago was on point as well.
Scarface’s voice, control, and timing are impeccable!!! The band is amazing!! This is one ☝🏿 of the best Tiny Desk performances I have ever seen.
Musician fr!!!
Absolutely it’s top knotch.
Straight up !
He definitely uses his voice as an instrument, one of very few Hip Hop artists to do so. It even changes throughout his extensive catalogue
One of the best to ever do it
Facts!!!! The best tiny desk ever!!! Woah 😳
This one right here... Man it took me back. Face has so many hit. Took me back to the block
“Never seen a man cry” his performance on tiny desk hits hard than the actual song 🔥🔥
Scarface was truly one of hip hop's most underrated artist. Everyone had their own distinct style back then, but no other artist could capture the darker aspects of life the way Face could. Whoever is responsible for this episode deserves a raise IMMEDIATELY. This was incredible.
I don't think a guy thats universally considered a top 10 MC (top 5 according to DMX) be underated.
@@OXHAMMERSTONE_NYC yes, he's in a lot of folks' top 5 (mine, for sure).
He’s definitely not underrated he was call Tupac of the south for a reason. So tired of people saying people were underrated that weren’t.
Face not under rated by no means
Face is USUALLY in a ton of people's Top 10 lists.... and is usually in a ton of people's Top 3 Southern Rappers.... I started listening to Geto Boys in like 1990.... the way he grew musically over the years is CRAZY
This wasn’t watching a performance. This was an experience! The vibe, the passion, the realness! Facemob!
Facts
Scarface filled up that Tiny Desk 3 keyboardists, 2 guitarists, 3 background singers, a bassist and a drummer - so good!
This channel deserves awards.
41 years old here sitting listening to this with my 83-year-old dad. He has always been a fan of Scarface. He bought me my first cassette tape “Mr. Scarface is Back” when I was a kid. This Tiny Desk Concert was awesome and his band is world-class.
This is Awesome!! Im 39 and Oh how I wish my Dad who would have been 89 this year could be here to enjoy this Tiny Desk with me. He had an appreciation for all kinds of music and he was a Big Fan of Scarface ❤
47 here and still it throws me back 2 my gang times geez this brother is somthing else
Come on dad.......... good music NEVER goes out of style
@tffy2004 any advice for 30's??
@@tffy2004When you have a moment and can listen to it think of him I am sure he will be listening with you from a good place. Have a good 2024.
This could literally be a live album and I’ll listen to it start to finish to start my day. Face is in my Top 10 dead or alive. We appreciate you and your contribution to Hip Hop!

And so I find myself here again and again and again and for the rest of my life...Thank you Face for these masterpieces❤🎉🎉🎉
I am from South Africa S/O to scarface for keeping it real old school style salute❤
That synthesizer went CRAZY. Everyone is so talented. Gives me hope that there’s still a space for real music
Yea that was that Mike dean on that piano 💯
Just look for Mike Dean in youtube and you´ll see who`s this guy, he is a legend in music production
Bruh!! Mike Dean is amazing!
it's good to see someone refer to Mike Dean as he really is… a synthesizer
People forget how poetic Scarface really is. The way he raps so eloquently with that delivery. Lyrics on point and a beautiful performance which he poured his soul into.
Give the man his flowers.
I read this at the very start right when hearing Scarface but not seeing anything and I totally agree. Even the start up hype is in rythm and delivered with flow. The show starts immediately when he opens his mouth.
Trust me, I don't forget. He's still one of my top 10.
@@yannikkissa9419 Top 10 dead or alive without question!
@@punppis Right? He’s so passionate and genuinely enjoying being in the moment. Just a joy to behold.
Greatest in my opinion
There are many legendary Tiny Desk Concerts. This one is my favorite. A masterpiece.
Met this legend the other night,by far one of LOVELIEST human beings out here.🤩
His status aside.💙
I love that he's using a directional mic, but he can't resist turning his head and speaking to the room causing his vocals to drift in and out. The man is holding a sermon and speaking to every person in that room. This is such an incredible tiny desk
Not to nit pick but, yea I wish to god they wouldn't have used that mic.
@@TheVegasViceManI just love that standing mic when he turn his head side to side we missing some words but still sound great like it was done deliberately and also when his taking his vocals on high peach and low peach it’s so interesting to watch and hear this great performance
very delibrate and intentional to cause effect in words. Scarface is a master.
Classic
Just about to make a comment about mic etiquette lol
I'm so happy my dad showed this to me, we sat down and just chilled thru the whole show together. Hip-Hop of this caliber needs to make a comeback!
Your Dad is a "Soulja"

Music was different grown up little man
It’s gone and gone forever. We can only look back
One of the best Tiny Desk concerts I've seen 🔥
Oh man! Face, a legend. Where did RAP go? I want you back. Man, takes me back to my youth….I had it, no, we had it so so good. We appreciate music for what it was…a part of growing up and we will never let go….smile for me 😊
SCARFACE understood the ASSIGNMENT!!!!! I cannot stop coming back. In my daily rotation.🔥🔥👌
Ditto!!! I listen to almost every day it’s crazy!
Exactly 🔥
Me 2
Facts 💯💯💯
I can’t stop playing this whole video everyday
Let us not forget the healrh obstacles Face had to overcome. He was struggling for awhile. His comeback is beyond amazing. He got his rest and came back strong as ever.
I was thinking about that the entire time.
I saw him in concert about 2 years ago and he was very ill then. He said he wasn’t feeling well and he looked ill, so to see this was so refreshing. I absolutely love him. 🔥🔥
Let's focus on the positive and not the negative you the type that I see someone doing well in life and go tell everyone let's not forget he used to be broke what a 🍆
HISTORY was made once again…..FACE gave a wonderful performance 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
As a DJ on radio you never appreciate the artist till you see em live… ,”Can you hear it now?” Yes!
31 minutes and 27 seconds of pure nostalgia. Scarface, Facemob, Mike Dean, and the whole crew, thanks for starting out our Christmas of 2024 this way.
Truly a wonderful Christmas gift
2023?
On loop all day while working. Each time i hear it takes me back to the good ole days. Thanks to creator
This is Legendary 🎉
This year it's Christmas of '23 my guy. Next year '24... and so on...
This performance should be on vinyl.
It would sound good with some rice krispies...

This is probably the greatest live rap performance I’ve ever heard… the story you tell, is real and the way you paint the picture is out of this world.
Thank you Scarface you were my inspiration for putting my life on wax to wake the drowsy. This is amazing I watch this at least once a week and still shed that same tear when you say you made some good music..... Groundbreaking.. One love
OutKast needs one of these ASAP!
We would all be so lucky to see and hear that happen (unfortunately, it won't and I won't say why because those guys are near and dear to my heart) ... but if it did ... CLASSIC!
Ooh 😮
.❤😂🎉😢😮😅 😊😮
Nah bro. It will ruin this show. Hard to top that tbh.
Yesssss!!!
Man… I’ll admit I didn’t really grow up with Scarface’s music, but I respected how folks held him in the rap convo. Today, I understand… innerstand, overstand. This right here was a masterclass of MCing and storytelling, not only from the music but to the stage presence as well. Well done 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 As an artist myself, I’m deeply inspired and reinvigorated by this performance. 🙏🏿❤️
respect!
Looks like you got some catching up to do. I’m jealous!!!
Definitely a legend in his own right. Take some time to listen to his catalog from DJ Akshen to his progression into Scarface. I'm 39 and grew up on Scarface since a kid because of my older cousins. He's my favorite artist and always has been. A running joke, yet reality, is that folks from DC will always have Scarface as their top 3 artists when it comes to a certain age group 😂😂😂
Well said!!
GO LISTEN TO HIS CATALOG... YOULL SEE Y HE IS THE G.O.A.T... N9 WEAK ALBUMS IN HIS CATALOG
I heard this album so many times and it was in my spirit in my high school years. Love it..I heard it. I'm 43 now and I can feel this.. especially in this atmosphere. The instruments are on point!
Give me chills every f.. time ! Didn't really dive into Scarface/Geto Boys works before this.
One of my biggest discover of the year, come to this almost every day. Thanks a lot.
This is what talent looks and sounds like. I can see the passion in him as he lets the music travel through. That band is phenomenal on those instruments.
Agreed! 💯
🔥 🔥 🔥
I love it.. realy good
Scarface defines a real musician, and the band sounds amazing. 🎶🎧🎵🎼 It was one of the best performances I've seen on this platform.
I’m from Htine. And of course grew up with Scarface loud in everyone’s stereos. I had no idea he was using a full band. Man… this is new life to classic hits.
I’m a little older now and struggle a bit with depression… This brings me back to a happier time in my life. I needed this… thank you !!
Perfect energy for the New Year! May it fuel you to better days 🫶🏾💕
Same for me. This was refreshing in a way.
God bless on your journey👍🏾👍🏾
That's just part of life man don't ever give up the sun always rises after a dark night
Hang in there BROTHER 👊🏿✊🏿
Glad to see Scar getting the love he deserves man is absolutely brilliant artist and one of the best storytellers of all time
Dude, this just brought me right back to my younger days. Love you brotha. This was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Thank you ALL for the incredible performance.
Keep in mind Face can actually play all of the instruments up there. A living legend at the height of his powers!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finding this out when I have always had Face slamming in the car since an adolescence, and never understood why more people don’t bring him up, and his talent , to find out he plays is TRULY MIND BLOWN STATUS 🤯
This took me back to my 20s and I'm 46. Thank you guys, because Scarface is apart of a lot of Us!!! Good Memories ❤
Same age. We in Serbia listened to Scarface (GB) on audio tape, without even knowing what he looked like.
❤💯
You look 34-37
Part of us, yes, he is. Glad to watch this.
Same here!
Man would've listen to this show for hours, didn't see time pass at all. Scarface and the whole crew was just on point, best tiny desk show in m’y opinion. Peace to all
Just went to his Behind The Desk Experience at warehouse live here in Houston and Face hit the stage and performed as if he never left!!!
I'm going to meet him Friday
Story telling, picture painting, the raw emotion in his delivery, subject selection, lyricism, face is the greatest in my eyes and top 3 in every real hip hop heads catalogue
💯
🎯💯
All day
Facts! Ice Cube, Face and TI to me.
He's definitely my 🐐!
I love how they’re doing our favorite old school artists. Tiny desk took the mtv unplugged theme and flipped it. I respect it.
MTV Unplugged 2.0 was my immediate thought! 🔥🔥
Listening to “Smile” got me crying 😢 at work.! 🙏🏾❤️ GOD help us!
Wish i could like this a thousand times🔥
To see Scarface perform like this is nothing short of AMAZING!! I remember seeing him on RUclips talking with Willie D while battling all of the health issues and I wasn't sure he was going to make it! But seeing him come back and break out all of his hits the way he did, was not only AMAZING, BUT TRIUMPHANT AND INSPIRATIONAL! You can see it in the passion of how he performed! Shout out to Mike Dean, the Band and Background Singers!
I agree 💯
Yeah I remember that
He also said he’d never perform “Mind Playin’ Tricks” without Willie again. Yet here we are.
I really didn't think the Juvenile Tiny Desk could be outdone. As a Face fan, this one gave me chills!
Juvenile, big daddy Kane, and this together in a group is a vibe
T-Pain was brilliant too, hard to beat.
💯
Same G
Juve still better
My favorite Tiny Desk. His passion and talent is incredible.
Tears rolling down my face rn. Thank you Face! For everything man, for sharing your gift to the world! We was really lucky growing up with this kinda talent and had no idea….
Not gonna lie me too, like hearing my childhood all in one video. Great times when facemob ran the airwaves.
Man you speak for all of us
Couldn’t help it, you heard this and felt every word.
