The downloads are paid for, the artists need to be getting their f*cking money. If ringtones is your hustle…I ain’t going to knock no one's hustle. My house is like a f*cking school of music.Ī: You’ve mentioned great artists with great albums, have digital singles affected album sales?
We studied R&B, we studied Rock & Roll, we studied Blues. Cause the artists today didn’t take the time out. You can’t even make records like that no more. But I want to be responsible for making those types of records. Those are the records that I want to try to create. When you heard, “Listen to my 9 millimeter goes bang.” Those kind of records are the records that are timeless. When I first heard LL’s “Rock the Bells” record, oh sh*t! When you heard the, “Too black, too strong…,” the Public Enemy “Welcome to the Terrordome” record.
It was going to change the face of what Hip-Hop was. I heard that record, I just knew it was something special man. I don’t know, we was formaldehyde funk men, that’s what we were. We heard that sh*t man, smoking that god damn fry some people call it clickums, some people call it sherm. We heard, “Clap your hands to what he’s doing!” the car bouncing with the beat, baby. And everybody from Houston know what the hell was on Rosalie back in the gap. It was riding five deep, we was going to this place called Rosalie. He took the springs out of it so it bounced. Like when I heard the “Eric B Is President.” I was in the back of my partners blue Cutlass Oldsmobile, he had about a 1977, I’ma say. Even my momma was like, “Damn!” You play the record today you get the same feeling. I remember where I was I was in my momma’s Monte Carlo and we was jamming. I remember when I first heard the “Kashmir” record by Led Zeppelin. I go back to my sh*t and be like, “Damn man, can somebody play this in ten years and get the same feeling they got when they first heard it?” My approach on a song is to make sh*t timeless. They make records for the times but they don’t make records that’s timeless. Continue to make records that are relevant, rather than just making f*cking fad records. Scarface: I think just to make the best f*cking records man. Scarface knows his true calling involves thanking the Lord that his voice is recordable, and especially you, the listeners.Ī: What do you think has been the key to your longevity in the rap business?
That lyrically uncommon sensibility is why even when he gets bored and takes a hiatus to pursue a hobby-lately, playing golf on the daily-Mr. Sure, his new album Madeis out December 4, but when the Houston native opines this much, it’s all the more clear why his mastery on the mic has touched so many souls. Notoriously finicky with prodding media, if you catch Face on a good day, you’ll be privy to the rap OG’s fascinating takes on everything from Black music history to the Feds to his appreciation of Soulja Boy.
#Keep it moving scarface plus
Texas rapper (Scarface) rises to enough prominence to inadvertently overshadow his none too shabby group (Geto Boys), achieving critical and commercial rap success in the process (four gold albums, three platinum plus albums), while maintaining as much street cred as cats with names like Hoover and Tookie. In that regard, Brad “Scarface” Jordan is truly a rap icon, in every sense of the word. Of that handful, an even smaller minority will possess the longevity to remain just as relevant in their twilight (no offense, please) years as they were during their precocious rise to rap infamy. While it may seem like the world is suddenly the land of one billion rappers, only a select few deserve or will receive the prestige of a lengthy career. Scarface, the sometimes morbid, always enlightening herald of Southern Hip-Hop, period, makes his return. Sit your green ass down and learn somethin.
