The Alpha and Omega philosophy are one of life’s classic certainties. All things, whether good or evil will eventually cease to exist. Period. But who would’ve thought from his humble beginnings as a Geto Boy, that the rapper Scarface would be closing out his career after making “country rap tunes” for well over 20 years. Cultivating into a more impeccable artist as his career developed opposed from the usual decline, Mr. Scarface penned some of most riveting apologues Hip-Hop has ever witnessed such as “I Seen A Man Die” and his 2002 magnum opus The Fix.

So the time has arrived for the Brad Jordan to collect the pension he’s undeniably deserved which in turn, brings us to his 9th solo outing Emeritus. Despite the perodic conception that the album is an effortless attempt of bowing out gracefully, an artist of Scarface’s stature can still run with the best of them in his sleep.

The Southern Hip-Hop scene has undergone vast transformations over the past twenty years. The once neglected region has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, becoming the leading force and trendsetter. Through it all, one artist has been the unmoving standard-bearer: Scarface. Revered & referenced by many of the current bests, Scarface’s career has been rivaled by only a few.

Now, after two decades in the game, Scarface is hanging it up with his final Hip-Hop album, Emeritus. The Crew’s David D. was able to catch up with the King of the South to talk about that momentous album, Face’s plans after retirement and the possibility of seeing him as a 2009 Hip-Hop Honoree. We all know Scarface. Now it’s time to meet Brad Jordan.

Scarface: Dave, what’s up?

TSS: Man, how you doing?

Scarface: I can’t complain about it, you alright?

TSS: I’m doing good, where you at right now?

Scarface: I’m on the golf course (Laughs).

TSS: Really?

Scarface: Yea, I’m on the driving range.

TSS: How’s the game going? What’s your handicap?

Scarface: I’m probably shooting an 80.

TSS: That’s pretty good, though.

Scarface: It ain’t bad.

TSS: I don’t know if you know how we got hooked up on this interview but Ms. Theda contacted us because I wrote a piece on how your videos used to scare the shit outta me, man.

Scarface: (Laughs) Well you gotta see this new video I just shot called “Can’t Get Right.” That’s a spooky mu’fucka. I actually died in this video.

TSS: Aww man, c’mon.

Scarface: Yea, I died.

TSS: Man, I was like five when “Mind’s Playing Tricks On Me” and I used to have nightmares of Bushwick jumping out the tree.

Scarface: Yea, he an ugly lil’ motherfucker ain’t he? (Laughs)

TSS: (Laughs) So do you make a conscious effort to make the videos like that or what? Read the rest of this entry »

It’s always good to see a strong song get an even stronger visual to back it up. Read the rest of this entry »
