From 1992 Soundtrack: "South Central". Also appeared on the 1993 Geto Boys Album: "Till Death Do We Part"...(Click "show more" for artist info)...
Scarface began his career as Akshen (pronounced Action) recording solo for Lil' Troy's Short Stop Records, a local label in Houston. He would go on to sign with Rap-A-Lot Records and join a group who were collectively known as Geto Boys replacing one member who left, and released the group's second album Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), a highly successful LP that garnered the group a large fanbase, in spite of their violent lyrics keeping them from radio and MTV. He took his stage name from the 1983 film Scarface.
The album Mr. Scarface Is Back was a success, and Scarface's popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys. Scarface remained in the group while releasing a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view with increasing sales. This peaked with The Diary and The Last of a Dying Breed, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and sales, and earned him Lyricist of the Year at the 2001 Source Awards.
In 2002, he released The Fix, the follow up to The Last of a Dying Breed and returned to the studio with the Geto Boys for their album, The Foundation. He was also featured on The Biggie Duets alongside Big Gee and Akon. He guest-appeared on Ray Cash's debut single "Bumpin' my Music".
In addition to his career as a lyricist, Scarface has also been the coordinator and president of Def Jam South since 2000, where he has fostered the career of popular rapper Ludacris, whom he originally signed to the label.
Scarface has appeared on Freeway's album Free at Last and will appear on Beanie Sigel's album, The Solution. Scarface is currently planning production; he has produced three tracks on UGK's Underground Kingz: "Life In 2009," "Still Ridin' Dirty," and "Candy."
Some of Scarface's early music videos ("A Minute to Pray, A Second To Die") featured community activist Quanell X in supporting roles.
In 2008, Scarface collaborated with rapper Tech N9ne on his album Killer on the song "Pillow Talkin'".
Despite limited commercial appeal, he remains uniquely popular amongst those in the industry, and has been described as "your favorite rapper's favorite rapper". On August 6th, 2009 Scarface will be performing his final performance at the 2009 Gathering of the Juggalos. In 2005, comedian Chris Rock praised Scarface as one of the best three rappers of all time on his list of the Top-25 Hip-Hop Albums ever: "Everything Biggie did, everything 'Pac did, everything Jay-Z does was originally done on the first Scarface album. Biggie kills himself at the end of his first record; well, Scarface did it three years earlier. He was the first guy to do his rhymes in the first person about robbing people and drug dealing; he was the first guy to really talk about being depressed and being institutionalized, and how his mama is scared of him. He is the most underrated rapper of all time and absolutely in the top three. You cannot get to four without mentioning Scarface. Any rapper knows that."

King of Gangster Stories
I was in my late teens when this dropped. I lived in a very bad neighborhood flooded with drugs, gangs, and guns. I ran with some unruly people that are all mostly dead or in jail now. My parents didn’t like it but I had to claim the set. I helped destroy my community and my people. A few years after this came out my father passed away and left me some change. I left and never came back. I have sons now and they have never got a taste of the streets. My oldest is a teacher now. I tell them about the things I’ve seen and went through. I feel lucky to be alive and free. I also feel like I wasted the best years of my life out there in that street life. It’s a trap. If you’re in the streets, get out while you can. Peace.
Go to Church and thank God. Glad you made it out
@@idomalion6167 thank you so much.

I'm still jamming this in 2024. Did anyone notice the Muslim brother? Quanell X
G.O.A.T, this is how RAP supposed to sound, BIG FACTS
Straight up
The male voice on the hook is Oakland rapper Seagram, who was the first West coast artist signed to Houston-based rap a lot records. RIP Seag he was slain in 1996.
Dope!
From East Oakland never knew that was seag on the hook but it is I can tell the voice.
Damn thats sad
DAMN I just came here seeing if I could figure out who that was cause I thought it was Poohman (from Oakland) oh well guess I was kinda close
Thanks, I been puzzling my brains for years trying to figure out who that was..
scarface is so under rated
and az
face, az, buckshot, guru, jeru,black thought,chuck d, redman, masta ace, all underrated and could all hold water to the so called greatest rappers ever

Shit made me cry thinking about my life man. This song is so real for the kids living in the ghetto bro. Peace to you O.G. Scarface
This generation need to listen up to this song
+
I'm here too
These kids could never relate. This was a reality beyond their comprehension. These social media soy gamgstas want zero smoke.
I had a lot of friends who were like this. Shit really makes me think. Scarface one of the realist.
Love Face. Most respected rapper in my book. So real. That movie is a dope classic too-South Central.
Utrsinrfs
“And my so-called friends want me out of the gang because they don’t know if I’ll walk again,” best line of the whole song, absolutely devastating
Face is on the hiphop mt rushmore, and thats not even up for debate. Unparalleled storytelling, passion and strength in his voice, amazing production. You put on a face album, youre not gonna ever skip a song, its just all high quality.
27 now I don’t know why I never gave Scarface a listen even though my whole life I heard how legendary he was and IS. been listening to a lot of Scarface and Geto BOYZ lately and I’m hooked 90s hip hop was amazing man I’m glad I was born in the 90s ❤
Scarface is the truth
New generation don't have a clue about real lyrics life stories

this song will make you emotional because its sad as hell and continues to be very relevant today.
This album was already a Scarface + 2 album but this song is it... This solidifies Mr Jordan's GOAT status
Scarface is easily top 5! Greatest out of Houston for sure!

Relinskee Patterson no* other rapper
Yup.... Face Pac and X
Damn Quanell was in scarface videos!!?
11 years old when I first heard this track 38 years old still knockin it
Love this track. Scarface will always be a legend in my eyes. Wish rap of this day and age could reach the heights of the good old days
I dont know what rap would've been without Scarface and 2pac.
Just got done bumping a bunch of 2Pac tracks . Just got done listening to "Smile "
The best storyteller in Hip Hop history a true poet.
True 👍👍👍✊✊✊
Scarface always was one of the realest, straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🐐💯
"South Central", real cool movie. I used to own a copy of this movie on vhs, also "New Jersey Drive", "Menace to Society" and "Fresh" and watch them all the time.
He's Hoover Deuce, and I'm keeping him!
Og call 🤷🏾♂️
Saw him in Reading PA at the reverb about 2 years ago he played all kind of guitars
I've always thought he is the greatest and that concert proved it there was only about 70 of us there but he put on one hell of a show even sat down and talked to us
Back when hip hop made man cry
It's crazy how these lyrics are still relevant till this day... peace nd luv to errybody
Scarface is one of the best. His lyrics tell a complete story. I could listen to an album of his and feel like its an audio-book. Dang.
The best story teller of all time💪💯
Fuck being based on a movie,this is a lot of brothas life for real!
Exactly, I grew up with kids going through this

@@Jay5hundo fuck off
J cole is a gentrified 90’s rapper 😂
Scarface is great because he is a real dude with real struggles that real fans relate to. Some people like to listen to music to fantasize about a type of life they wish to know. And that's fine. But a lot of us would much rather listen to music we can relate to in our day to day struggle and find that there are others going through the same type struggles and find solidarity in that and even that there is always a silver lining or something to smile for even in the darkest hours. Plus we see how they have made better lives for themselves despite less than ideal beginnings, and that is truly inspiring and is in a very real way a positive message in itself. Bit people who aren't from the "wrong side of the track" don't understand that type of inspiration I guess. Only hear the negative parts.
Face music is authentic...very ..every verse n song....💯🐐💯
REAL TALK 💯
@@sage5738 alotta folks make dope music.....the depth of face music...nobody 4 as long as he has been doin it...30 plus yrs....comes close
Damn Quanell was in scarface videos!!?
2021 and These lyrics still hit hard
“I thought I had friends…but I ain’t got no fuckin friends”💎 🔑
Damn the brother quan x been out here in the community for years 💯
Scarface has the best voice in Hip hop
2022 and that street life ain't changed just adapted. 💯
2023 still better than the so-called “gangsta rappers” of today. Salute Brad Jordan aka Scarface
Not just one of face’s dopest songs...one of the dopest songs on music history period! My favorite artist in any form of music.
Man this track still goes - from the opening verse. "Up early in the morning lacing up my British Knights" yeahhhhhhhh
the Geto Boys gave alot of game growing up
B
Foreal they really did
They would have given a lot more if the government would have left them alone..
Damn Quanell X was in scarface videos!!?
I'm just a white dude rocking out to Scarface in 2021.
since '93
2002, sunday nite, Grade 5, last nite before March break was over, got back from Patterson, New Jersey, 'South Central' on BET Blackbuster Movies, end of the movie made me cry like a baby, changed my life.
It was a dope underrated film no doubt
Scarface rarely ever gets mentioned in peoples "Top 5" but imo he's neck to neck with Pac for the TOP spot! I'm talking song for song, hit for hit, message for message! I based that on lyrical content not just the amazing rhythm and rhyme! Sad to see what rap has dissolved into now days. Brothers were truly poets back then teaching and dropping knowledge in the form of art! Houston's own!
never knew no better cause my mommy never taught me goin out to get the shit that mommy never bought me... best line
Man! Look at young Scarface.... Giving up real game
BEST SCARFACE SONG EVER!!!!
Classic ..Greatest storyteller ever --Scarface
also one of the best gangsta rappers of all time
this here is real rap definition autistic and from the hood im proud to say I came up liked this man anyoned dislike this on the real don't identify they had money they had education they had functioning fams go hate on lil wayn if you choose but not when a man speaks from the heart
2022 GET WELL FACE , SALUTE TO YOUR SON FOR THAT KIDNEY 👏🙏🏅🏅🥰✌
I have a feeling that Scarface is one of those artists who cant be truly appreciated in his own lifetime.
44 people live in the suburbs. They don't understand the street life.
Rakim. /Once upon a rhyme,,,,,heat it up,,,,,,,hoodlum,,,,,,,,,message in a song
Some people don't embrace the "street life" maybe we should educate our kids??? seems to work for a lot of black men. Why put in the hard work when we can do sour shit and blame it on whitey right?
Zulu swashbuckler.
@robertsmeagles not everybody is able to resist yes there those who live in that kind of environment that haven't joined a gang or got into selling drugs or anything kind of criminal activity but they are those who have because they didn't have people to teach and guide them or they didn't have the right people guide them yes they are those who chose that life but they are also those who had no choice I didn't grow up in an environment like the one scarface was rapping about so I can't say I relate but I've learned that life isn't all candy and ice cream and one big party and it's becoming more and more clear everyday it's easy to criticize someone when you haven't walked in their shoes or experience what they've experienced you're right though we should educate our children so they would stay away from things like gangs and drugs but if we did that people like you would have nutting to criticize and were the fun in that especially when it's so much easier funner to judge and point the finger and say lock them up ha🗣‼️😉
Oh and f.y.i it was the white man who created this unfair and unjust system that for centuries and decades that kicked us black people in the ass racism is not something that black people just one day made up and pulled out of their ass it's something even black people who haven't grown up in the ghettos and inner city experience🗣‼️
Always leaves me SPEECHLESS!!! The TRUTH in it's REALEST form!!
Shout out Ali for making Bobby a new man
I had good time when this track came. U always this G.O. A.T. bruva till the in of times. Ghetto boy's forever. Rip little Big man👊✌️💯
ScarFace Is One Of My Favorite Rap Lyricists Of All-time Period Hes Very UnderRated Lyricist One Of The Kings Of The South Classic Music Timeless Real Talk HTown Legend
The future was told back then but some people don't listen, a true genius in the game always real life in 3D!!!! Feed us we're hungry now more than ever Scarface!!! Stay Blessed we need you!!!!
My uncle is the one acting in this video he passed away I miss him so much 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️ thx for having this up RIPTREEE!!
1992, The Geto Boys at the top of the mountain!!! The quality was outstanding at that time. After their monster hit "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" they came one year later with "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster" and "Street Life", Bushwick Bill released "Ever So Clear" and then in 1993 Scarface dropped his best solo track "Now I Feel Ya"... that's unbelievable if you think about it right now...
NWA was dope af, and legendary, and groundbreaking.... but the Geto Boys are better!
Răzvan hahaaaa nice joke
Nwa were Hollywood. Non actually lived in the hood. Only easy e.
Now he's dead and dre is a BILLIONAIRE.
Put the dots together. This generation is retarded. A binch of cock suckers.
Geto boys was harder
nah man, NWA was ground breaking... Geto boys were just great
Scarface is a poet
Greatest storyteller of alltime!!! Facts!! 💯
We still here 2022‼️🔥🔥🔥
Face in rarest form‼️
The corner doesn’t PROMISE me a good life.. but at least it shows me PROMISE ‼️ that hit a nerve
I'm so glad I grew up with this real rap music 💯
This hit different when half ya homies dead, drugged out or locked up... this sends a stronger message now for Generation X (Me being a 90s baby... I see the end) #facemob4E #ballsandword #realcontentnotcatchy
“I’m calling deuce my family cuz these niggas say they love me”idk why but that line just gives me mixed emotions
Some dudes join a gang & others are in a gang bcz they family is down bad and ish. That gang is ALL THEY HAVE.
"South Central" Was one of the realist movies of the early- mid 90s
1.2 million views... my god how can the realest shit get ignored. the hip hop and rap today has no substance.. same goes for all types of music.. and still all of the no substance havin songs have millions upon millions of views.
He is one OG preacher's from the street. Scarface, Tupac, Ice Cube, Ice -T, E40, Nas, Public Enemy.
The good old days of rap music. Now we get Katie Perry ft Juciy J.
Lol
Haha so true
Fucking true
+algierssolja no doubt bruh-bruh, that's why I stay bumpin face, talib, peterock, little brother, busta, ASHERU & UGK
Harvearre Wright Check Lecrae and Dee-1's stuff, New cats with positive messages.
Duh KING OF THE SOUTH MY BROTHER MR.BRAD (SCARFACE)JORDAN SINCE THE EARLY NINETIES BEEN MY BROTHER SINCE THEN AND STILL IS.LOVE YUH BRO
It would've been something real special if
SCARFACE and NATEDOGG had joined to make an entire album.✊✌😎
Life lyrics 🔥🔥🔥
THE REAL HIP HOP MUSIC 💯
😂😂😂😂We used 2 be ridin' through the hood slaapin' this back when it 1st came out in like 91-92
thank God I was raised in this era I miss the 90s
I was born in 98 and can relate to this song so much💯💯
You got to be from the hood to understand and feel this. This one for the underdogs!!!
BEST STORY TELLER EVER BRO
When this was out I was 20 years old going through jail riots in CT. This song got me through stabbing shit left and right!
the greatest of all time!!
this reminds me when i coming up in the early 90's
Wow! This takes me back! Scarface the 🐐
Great video. One of my favorites by him.
Face has to be in everybody’s top 5!
Fucking love this song. So powerful.
You truly don't know how precious this song is..
One of the greatest beginning of a scarface song up early in morning lacing up my British Knights throwing up my deuce sign fucking with the street life.
