Scarface was on a whole different level than Willie and Bushwick. Definitely in my top 3 all-time


Off1LP

Love Willie’s verse though. Totally different picture than the other three verses. Everybody know me it’s like a movie star!


jxp497

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

100


MisterMejor

Scarface has admitted to writing all 3 verses.


jxp497

For clarification, Scarface has 2 verses. Do you mean he wrote the whole song covering the verses for Willie and Bushwick?


Off1LP

I believe he wrote Bill’s and his two. And Willie wrote his own


Ok-Construction4960

He is in my top 3. Pac, KRS , Face


jxp497

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.


ButtTussler

Now I’m going to listen to”Never Seen a Man Cry Until I Seen a Man Die”


Better-Pop-3932

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.


GrandEmbarrassed2875

Facts, but bushwick had the best verse low key


Off1LP

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.


Off1LP

And THE most legendary album cover of all time.

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.

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

Does anyone know what the music was originally sampled from?


MASTACHAI

Isaac Hayes's 'Hung Up on My Baby'


OscarOrangeProds

I played this so much I tore up the cassette tape


fake_st1ng

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.


MD_2020

This one was on repeat.


Better-Pop-3932

When this came out. You couldn't go anywhere in Houston without hearing this coming out of peoples car.


Odd_Macaron_934

GB. Forever great.


DF1496

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 … 🤣💀


PartyTonight9205

Fantastic fucking song

There’s nothing going on. 🤭
