Still, this list showcases the scope and depth of Face's deeply profoundly rooted legacy.ġ "My Mind Is Playing Tricks On Me" We Can't Be Stopped, 1991Īsk casual fans to quote Scarface, and his opening verse from this song is likely going to be their go-to. By no means is this list conclusive - there are hoards of songs to choose from that represent the depth and complexity of his music. We've taken a look at Facemob's massive discography and pulled 20 songs that readily illustrate why Scarface is indeed the GOAT. He played the guitar on a lot of his records (sometimes backwards because he's a lefty) and had always produced or co-produced much of his own music.īasically, you can't dismiss Scarface as a legend or overstate his subtle or overt influence on virtually every style that hip-hop's produced. He was raised among blues and soul musicians and it shows.
Not to mention the musicality he brings to hip-hop. Nas says he directly owes Face for inspiration, and pretty much every emo rapper whose battled with internal demons, grappled with life and death, and pontificated on their place in a corrupt, racist world owes something to Scarface, who's been doing that since before it was a thing, starting back in the late '80s.

He also arguably has the most discography in the rap history. Think about it.
