This has been floating around for a minute but I guess we neglected to share it. Truthfully, I just want any old reason to throw up that cover & get myself amped up even more for this release. Add on to that, the buzz & promo for this album hasn’t been that high, as if LL is right & we don’t appreciate our elders.

YES! I’m gonna wait though. Thanks.
Slick Rick style coat of arms, so eye see.
Anybody remember that interview Scarface did for HHC circa 1998 where he admitted that he doesn’t even like hip hop and most of the time he does it because it makes financial sense?
He prefers to cruise around TX listening to Enya and admits he is an ardent fan of KISS and Black Sabbath.
Best interview I ever read, honest and up front.
…and Pink Floyd
Not gonna bite. I’d rather starve myself so when the full meal is ready, I’ll be rabid enough to really appreciate it. ‘Face may be the most consistent solo artist outta the south. Luda may have more records sold, but content wise, ‘Face is the Edgar Allen Poe of this rap ish.
P.S.- Enya is not gangsta in the least, but Brad effs with it so it gets a pass lol.
The Floyd too, he was waxing lyrical about Gene Simmons and how all of that KISS make up was off the hook.
Then he said man I’ve probably got around 10 Hip Hop CD’s/Tapes at most, I prefer to listen to something like Enya which is more calming to my senses.
Not a verbatim quote, but he said something like that. Probably the most memorable interview with a hip hop artist I ever read. It put things into perspective, and it was refreshing to hear an artist being candid about their preferences, rather than putting up a front.
Orinoco Flow!
Face is not to be fucked with he needs a HOV feature on this tho when they link up its always on some classic shit… the beat for forget about me is pretty ill I havent herd the song tho I’ll wait for the cd fuck a sampler
Akshen !
Sean Price said something to that effect as well.
some european cat asked him, in an interview, if he has a favorite German rapper.
lol
Sean P responded he hasn’t heard nadda not a one German rapper, and he doesn’t even listen to rap in his down time…mostly Al Green and that type of stuff…
I respect dudes like that…when you come from or are around a rough enviroment, you need something calming to the senses to balance that out
greastest south rap catalogue ever !
emperor of da south side !
rap legend.
………………..

y’all seriously need to see this, freakin’ hilarious
I will wait for the whole album. Face is one of the best MC forget about region.
@ Teef:
Rosenberg is right that dude wasn’t banging no drum. He was choking the chicken. lol
Anything that comes out of ‘Face’s speakers is automatically gangsta, even if it’s just temporarily.
won’t listen.
already sold.
and nah, I don’t need the receipt.
Aww yeah aww yeah (C) J. Prince
Mysonne speaking on the T.I. situation.
ht tp://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhqffMXqQ6S0I32Fyt
He makes a valid point too.
^ Good point… but I’m on some “Put an album out before you point fingers.” shit. I’ve been waiting for Mysonne to drop something since before he robbed that cabby.
T.I. had more to lose than dude ever did. When he’s in that situation, with that much to lose, then we’ll see which path he chooses.

T.I. had more to lose than dude ever did. When he’s in that situation, with that much to lose, then we’ll see which path he chooses.
=======================================
I feel you. It’s just that dude did a complete flip on who he is & what he stands for, but he hasn’t really been challenged much in the hip hop media. “Paper Trail” managed to avoid all the trap talk without watering down the overall product. I just wonder how Tip’s street cred will fare if this new, by-the-book image becomes permanent.
^ Yeah… this new image may or may not have been forced upon him by the feds. Who know’s… rapper’s have to grow up some day. Some by choice… others not so much.
Aside from the behind the scenes ish, I think as long as you’re successful, and put out good material that speaks to some “real” ish, the skreetz will get behind the “reformed” hustler.
Exhibit A: Jay-Z
Does’nt matter a Rat is a Rat at the end of the day…Money r whatever I’d rather have the street cred…But thats just me…
OH,
and in orxer for the “conversion” to be successful, I feel an artist has to have that been there, done that quality, w/ a decent history of good material… TI has that.
^ I hear ya, and street cred’s cool…. good even
but this IS SHOW business & by now the audience knows half these cats are frontin’ anyway, so MAYBE dude’ll be just fine at the end of the day…and the female audience still got love for dude which, as far as longevity goes, DOES mean something.
and no offense to Sheek, or Styles, but I’d take Will Smith getting jiggy checks.
^ pause if needed
but this IS SHOW business & by now the audience knows half these cats are frontin’ anyway
===================================
Hey, if Officer Rawss can seemingly escape unscathed, I see no reason why T.I. shouldn’t.
Tip’s “street cred” is established at this point, why continue to be on dumb shit? Who does he have to prove something to? Myshonne needs to get a fucking life! After 7 years he aint learned a damn thing. Niggas like him will forever be stuck in the hood on dumd shit. Its 08′ people, time to get off the boo boo!©Pimp c
Mys was referring to the whole snitching thing & I agree with him. Cats that choose to follow street laws need to live their lives accordingly. Don’t talk greasy & as soon as you catch a case you bitch up. I understand T.I.’s situation, but I still think it’s a weird move to be going around actively promoting snitching after claiming to live that life.
WOW,WOW.
shout out to our “S” showing up on the cover. I’ll take it as a sly tip of the cap to our excellence.
