But back then we didnt want to see no beautiful houses in the middle of nowhere. We were in a house and it was the nicest f# house I had ever been in my life. We just sat around for a little while and recorded a few songs and after that James told us, Yall aint getting it done fast enough. They took us out to the middle of nowhere and left us together. Willie D, Bill and myself literally didnt know each other. I was so excited to finally get my face on somebodys cassette. I had no f# idea this record was going to be. Grip It! On That Other Level (1989)Geto Boys The always-candid icon takes a look back at his remarkable run.
Whatever the future of Scarface, he can rest assured that he has had one of the most consistent and enviable careers in hip-hop. Im just going to call him Chris Jordan because hes a bad m#, man. Im going to give him a couple of songs on my new album, which Im aiming for an October release. I have a son thats 19-years-old who is a much better rapper than I was at that age! Im trying to make his career right. I feel good about my opportunities, Face continues. Im supposed to be a part of that money, right? I think with the amount of money independent artists make I wish I would have made the move a little sooner. If you put a few million records out and you are making eight bucks a pop, everything is supposed to be everything. I was totally unaware of that throughout my career by the label. Theres a lot of money in successful independent records. ∺nd I think that my business relationship with Rap-A-Lot has ran its course. I think with anything that you do in life it has to run its course, Face tells VIBE of his split from his longtime label home and J. But when the rapper, multi-instrumentalist and producer talks about going independent on a new album hes currently finishing up tentatively entitled The Habit, he speaks with both regret and optimism for the future. Face, whose at times violent, dark, vivid, complex and emotional lyrics dissected street life, would eventually find immense solo acclaim, becoming the souths most heralded MC. Back then, Scarface made his debut as a member of a revamped Geto Boys with country hard talker Willie D. In an era of frequent artists drops and changing imprints, the news is indeed surprising given that the man born Brad Jordan has been associated with the James Prince-owned landmark Houston label since 1988.
So here it is: Scarface has left Rap-A-Lot Records.
#Geto boys scarface shot himself full#
Even when it comes to Full Clip, VIBE has the sense enough to know not to bury the lead.
