Scarface asks "Who stole the Soul?" Says Hip Hop is now a drive-through
Ойын-сауық
www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with Scarface backstage at Paid Dues. Part 3 of our interview starts with Scarface asking why white contemporary singers sell more albums than their black counterparts. Scarface proceeds to say that he heard an executive at a tv network that deals with music say that they are now going to target the network for a young white audience. Facemob is concerned that the new generation doesn't know who Kool Herc is and soon wont know who people like KRS-One and himself are because they are being written out of Hip Hop history. "If you gave a fuck about this culture in any shape form or fashion you would not put the shit out that you put out. You would slam the door on artists that came in there with that shit!" Check out the interview for the rest of what Facemob has to say!

Its so sad how urban music has fallen off, from hip hop to RnB. The generation who grew up with 90s Urban music didn't know how lucky they were.
We know who stole the soul, but what are you going to do to take it back that is what needs to be put into action

he's pouring his soul out about the music he loves and I very much feel his pain
He's got a point there! 15-years ago the trailer park took over Hip Hop, and now the entire genre is pure garbage!!!! The hood must rise again!
Benzino is a horrible rapper in my opinion but you got to admit he was right back then when he was saying this was going to happen. He was owner of Source magazine even though he was rapping. He had a better insight on what was going to come in the future and what was going on with the media and the movement of music. But nobody listened......

THANK YOU. I happen to be from Kool Herc's culture and would NEVER allow ANYONE WHITE or non-BLACK people of color (like these disrespectful Natives, Asians or Hispanics for example) to dictate what Hip Hop is or isn't... or anyone who "teaches" "Hip Hop" dance classes but never talks about the political foundation of these dances and the music...
I think Scarface need to give a call to The Old school artist . Go independent. And Get at the game hard. Like on some we taking over shit. Start a click. Like Scarface, Rakim, Kool G rap. Krs One, Chuck D. Ice Cube, DMX, Big Daddy Kane, Wise Intelligent, Brand Nubian. I mean get at the game hard. Call It " True O.G's"

I get what you saying. The truth in the matter is that there is a genre of specificity to each culture. This is a cultural thing. Just like there are many religious preferences. They have principles, values, and moral beliefs etc. that are specific to the religions, the same for this culture. It's not ignorance. It's more reality than anything. A people has music to uplift them, that's what R&B, Blues, Hip Hop was and should be to the people of color, just as Country is to white country men and women, just as Reggaeton is to the Latin community, and so on. It's deeper than just saying , "We are the human race." Indeed, we are. We also have very different cultural differences and it heard in our music, which became the voice of our people, not only to share music, but to spread hope and a message across a land that started in a community. It's our way of communicating that we are sharing in the same struggles, but there is hope in our understanding as well as sharing ways to empower that same people who have gotten lost and trying to find their way.

Yo this is some real talk we need this motivation of real hip hop music back
You can make champagne but you cant call it champagne unless it comes from France. you can make hip hop but you cant call it hip hop unless comes from the pain and the struggle of the hood.
Scarface is a flat out legend I'm glad he is speaking out one of the few to do so.

Hip Hop Started In The Ghetto With Black People Expressing their Struggles, then we let the Beastie Boys into Hip Hop and it became a party thats how it starts, then came MC Search, Vanilla Ice, Eminem, Bubba Sparxx, now we got Yelawolf, MGK, Mac Miller, Asher Roth, Macklemore, Riff Raff, Justin Bieber, lil Debbie, Kreyshawn, V Nasty, Iggy Azaela, and lil Miley Cyrus, its becoming a complete joke I guess black folks dont remember what whites did to rock n roll, jazz & the blues when we introduced it to them. Scarface is right.

I could sit and listen to him lecture all day, What he's saying is truth. As a teen in this day and age i see the hip hop industry falling apart, and it hurts. because i know what once was and what its become.
He was so on point with the trap music segment, it all sounds the same.
I came up on the Geto Boys. This is why he's one of my all time favs. Keeps it Trill.

Scarface has alway's been a staple in Hipp Hopp an everything he said is true !! yesterday was the last day for 106 & park which was a show for Black youth too watch Rapp video's after school , I grew up watching them all the way back when Big Tigger was introducing the lastest rapp video's that came out ,cause MTV wouldn't play rapp musician's unless you sounded like young M.C or Tone Loc but hardcore Rapper's like Scarface & NWA got no play on MTV but their sales were thru the roof so Corperate America couldn't ignore them & were forced to recognize their talent & business savy or they were going to be left out ? so now they have found a way to try & control the industry again , so hustler's are going to have to sell CD out their trunks again or give it away on social media ? but I have almost lost all intrest in Hipp Hopp & find myself going back too all the old artist to remember why I fell in love with it in the first place. artist like Scarface , Too Short ,icecube ,Biggie Smalls ,Wu Tang Clan, 2pac ,Rakhiem what the HELL happened to hipp hopp just one man's opinion ! Kudos Scarface for standing Up for what you & I believe in and i'm sure MILLIONS more
he is spitting so much truth. great interviews

Hey there Scarface thank you for dropping that knowledge and wisdom love you much.
They're intentionally producing music with no purpose! Taking the art and soul out, and selling and image all while advertising products. There I said it and it's true.
no coincidence that two white people won best HIP-HOP albums in the same year.....nobody I know buys their music and I know a lot of very diverse people...

You know that was to make White America happy. I don't fuck with Eminem, Iggy, Macklemore or any of these other wanna bes, Johnny come lately's and imitators. All of these people who are descendants of those who CAUSED the reason for Hip Hop to have to be made in the first place as a positive outlet to empower BLACK PEOPLE during the Black Power struggles and after that. PERIOD
What song is that at the start??? Out bail with Pac? Don't remember that verse
I can understand his explanation. Hip-Hop music has definitely been altered severely over the past couple years, which is why I have dwindled down the list of artists I listen to. This has caused me to dedicate more time to other genres of music because Hip-Hop has changed to a point, it hurts my ears.
It's time to just go back to the streets and making low budget videos. Stop signing contracts and be happy with the money made from small venues.
Scarface is on the money,,,,,,, straight sad
Where's the full interview?
I feel u my dude we as true hip hop fans to do something bout this u feel me
He's right on all counts! Straight BS!
music that stands out will always be the best. these days most kids are not even being taught an instrument no more
Thanks.
The blame is pointed at the fans that buy crap. If thats what people like than thats what they like. Real music will always be around. Its just much harder to find nowadays.
Real Hiphop is staying alive and stays black, Face. It never changes. I was searching for a long time and found many musicians like you. Who really wants to find authentic shit, he/she will. I dont doubt it. Peace up.
Finally someone addressing this!!!!! I've been feeling this way for a few years now. R&B/Soul has disappeared. Major artists all trying to jump on the Electronic Music bandwagon, and their major hits have to fit this genre. - from Usher, to Chris Brown, to Rihanna. Think about it; name a banging Usher CD since Confessions. I don't understand why the artists so freely abandoned this huge legacy of great music. I think the artists need to realize what's happening and give us our music back.
How could anyone forget about Scarface? this guy is a legend, my favorite rapper out of Houston
Thank you Face for saying everything that I been seeing and saying!!!!
Hardknock need to give me that intro beat
I also agree on that. We need to bring back soul and integrety back into the music.
When im in my car i dont listen to the radio & when im at home i dont watch t.v. so to say i listen to what i want to hear and watch what i want. + youtube stop changing the f***ing layout!!!!
I respect and agree with that and you are absolutely right about that
I'm the same way bro. I seeing this unfold and stolen in front of me. I can see me at 60 yrs trying to explain hip hop to the kids like old people trying to tell me about Chuck Berrry.
Damn, Refreshing!
funny part about it is I was there at paid dues in vip waited an hour to meet face ...... some white kid asked where nipsey hustle was ... face stood up and left the signing table had chase him down lucky I was able to get a pic with him and a fly one too.... this interview makes more sense then you could know
yes, good call. Good to see KRIT getting a mention as well.
Mint Condition is still poppin' !!
Real talk!bro
Real Talk!!!
Preach!...FINALLY !..I totally agree
Sad, but so true!
'Face is sooo on-point. 95% of the music I listen to is ol' school, whether it's hip-hop; r n' b; jazz; or even rock. Every blue-moon I'll hear something new that captures my attention, but for the most part, my music-library consists of ol' school music.
Was this filmed during a concert??
You give people power, and you are able to take it away as a supporter.
I am soul. Never gonna change. No r and b here
Scarface, Hip Hop Educator as myself will continue to preserve you and the history of Hip Hop Culture! Hip Hop lives forever
Preach Scarface! He should film a documentary to go along with the book.
scarface needs to create a hip hop show with some other great rappers and review new songs and have a weekly top top 5 or a monhly top ten rappers
Does anyone know if his book is out yet? "who stole the soul?"
I would encourage people whom respond to this thread to get a better understanding of the music industry before they express themselves publicly.
Scarface should check out Big KRIT if he thinks all the soul is gone in hip hop.
REAL TALK COMING FROM MEMPHIS
Scareface is spitting that hot fire TRUTH! We Blacks must learn how to put a fence around are crafts. Other ethnic groups do.
scarface is always so spot on. love this guy
I cosign with you homie,everybody is trying to mimic the electronic movement in all genres of music as well.
Scarface is telling the cold hard Truth. Its chilling. What happened to Black Rap groups, Soul Groups... only groups you see is 1 Direction.. rock groups, etc.. There's no more Unity in our Community. It's SAD. More and more people in Hip Hop are trying to be somebody else. T there's not much Originality
"One of the realist dude out there,he truely spoke from the heart!
real talk
I think independent is artists are slowly keeping hip hop alive and hip hip will eventually evolve back to what it once was
He says a mouth full in this video...too much truth
LOVE
Still relevant, till this day!
You can say what you want, but it is up to the listeners to request and seek real hip hop and soul, we can only partially blame the mainstream corporations. They only play what people request, start requesting real music, and it will come back. It falls on us as listeners not the labels!
Real Talk.
sounds like we need a national hip hop museum
I was telling some person on the internet that there are some awesome beats in rap and hip hop but the kids/rappers should be more creative with the lyrics. Scarface is saying here that people in the industry are telling them what to rap about, so that explains what I was talking about.
All this talk and you got the Clipse and lil Bow Wow on your uploaded videos? Explain that.
