Houston rap legend Scarface is slated to drop his latest solo album, M.A.D.E., on December 4. SOHH caught up with the former Geto Boy to talk about his mention on Jay-Z's latest album, hip-hop's bad rap, and why he loves Soulja Boy.
See Also:On American Gangster, Jay-Z says he was more negatively influenced by Scarface the movie than Scarface the rapper. Face said he doesn't mind getting the short end of the stick; he's just happy to be mentioned by Hov. "Sh*t, for him to say me period, f**k that's some big sh*t," Scarface told SOHH. "He coulda been easily influenced by New Jack City the movie than New Jack City the rapper. I'm humble. 'Cause Jay-Z a bad motherf**ker and for him to say that sh*t about me, sh*t that's some deep sh*t ... The world needs more of the truth." According to Scarface, the truth is that rap music wrongly gets blamed for the negative state of the world. "(You have) all of the sh*t that's going on in the world, ya know the beheadings in Afghanistan, the roadside bombs in Iraq, the kids going in these schools killing all these other kids or these ... (people hanging) Nazi nooses and sh*t," he said. "And then you turn back around and say that we need to stop doing what we do? That's our fault? I love it." "It's our fault that we over in Iraq fighting right now," he continued. "It's our fault that Imus called the girls at Rutgers some nappy headed h**s ... Don't that sound stupid? How the f**k is rap that much of an influence on somebody else's life, that don't even know the culture? One subject Scarface is less heated about is Soulja Boy, the 17-year-old newbie whose ringtone hit "Crank That" has spawned a new dance and a slew of ambiguous superhero references. "I'm telling you, Soulja Boy, that's my favorite artist right now," Scarface said. "I don't know what the f**k he sayin' but it's my favorite sh*t. First he was supersoakin' that h*e, then he was supermanin' that h*e. Is he Spidermanin' that h*e now? I'm down with that sh*t man. I don't know what none of that sh*t mean. So tell that kid to call me and tell me what all that sh*t mean." M.A.D.E. features production from Mike Dean, Tone Capone, Nottz, Enigma and Face himself with guest spots from T.I., Lil' Wayne and Z-Ro.
