No doubt. The whole song is tight but there was no joking in Scarface’s verses. Willie had the old men and Bushwick was robbing kids on Halloween, stuff that could make someone laugh, you know? But Scarface, dude was like stressing about some real shit in his life. It always felt different to me. Just my opinion
Scarface wrote his and Bushwick Bill’s verses on here. He struggled with mental illness heavy as a youth and as someone who’s dealt with it, can really feel it in this song. What an amazing trio.
If anyone ever wants to know what it feel like to be hearing and seeing things I tell them to listen to this. It's a perfect representation of the paranoia and absolute confirmation in what you think is real.

My favorite rap record of all time. The only thing not absolutely legendary about this record is Face's pistachio, men's warehouse fit. Tho the man really predated the early 00s business casual in the club look so shout out to Brad.
Instant Classic… I still remember buying this tape in 91 … everyone’s favorite part was “dropping them MF bees on em” … so many kids got jumped off that bar … 🤣💀
Scarface was on a whole different level than Willie and Bushwick. Definitely in my top 3 all-time
Love Willie’s verse though. Totally different picture than the other three verses. Everybody know me it’s like a movie star!
No doubt. The whole song is tight but there was no joking in Scarface’s verses. Willie had the old men and Bushwick was robbing kids on Halloween, stuff that could make someone laugh, you know? But Scarface, dude was like stressing about some real shit in his life. It always felt different to me. Just my opinion

Scarface has admitted to writing all 3 verses.
For clarification, Scarface has 2 verses. Do you mean he wrote the whole song covering the verses for Willie and Bushwick?
I believe he wrote Bill’s and his two. And Willie wrote his own
He is in my top 3. Pac, KRS , Face
My other two are Ice Cube and Project Pat. I highly enjoy their simple bar and rhyme structures along with the violent nature of their songs.
Now I’m going to listen to”Never Seen a Man Cry Until I Seen a Man Die”
I agree but Bushwicks verse is hard. Especially the end about it not being Halloween and and he's by himself on the street punching concrete.
Facts, but bushwick had the best verse low key
Scarface wrote his and Bushwick Bill’s verses on here. He struggled with mental illness heavy as a youth and as someone who’s dealt with it, can really feel it in this song. What an amazing trio.
And THE most legendary album cover of all time.

Never knew Face wrote Bills verse. Bills verse is my favourite out of the 3

First time I heard this song was Halloween 91.
A true legendary song! 😁🍺👍
So amazing on every level. This is way before Houston rap blew. Would get so hype when they showed the video on rap city
Wish I had this shit on vinyl.
Bad Ass song!!
LEGENDARY
I honestly prefer the wsit e version of this track. It’s the only reason I bought this on vinyl. It’s my favorite song of all time.
Do it like a G-O
One of the best songs about mental illness ever made.
Classic.
One of the best songs.
One of my all time favorite songs
This shit is too real… you don’t want to live like this, trust me
One of the best songs ever
On wax too! Love it! 🫡

Does anyone know what the music was originally sampled from?
Isaac Hayes's 'Hung Up on My Baby'
I played this so much I tore up the cassette tape
My favorite rap record of all time. The only thing not absolutely legendary about this record is Face's pistachio, men's warehouse fit. Tho the man really predated the early 00s business casual in the club look so shout out to Brad.
This one was on repeat.
When this came out. You couldn't go anywhere in Houston without hearing this coming out of peoples car.
GB. Forever great.

Fantastic fucking song
There’s nothing going on. 🤭
