^That. Cube was really more of a socially conscious rapper than Scarface. Hell even Face goes socially conscious sometimes also.

[Choke2Death]

Scarface is truly the GOAT gangsta rapper. Hell, I'd even make a case for greatest rapper ever. Definitely in my top 5.

1. Face
2. Cube
3. Ice-T (kind of like a lesser Cube with a lot of political commentary too)
4. Spiggity-Spice Wiggidy-One
5. MC Eiht

Spice and his stuttering flow was sick.



Tell me someone who can make a song consisting of stuttering every other word work like him?

Also he's got some awesome storytelling using items. (before GZA came out with Labels, Animal Planet or Fame)



I absolutely love this video. Just laid back shit where he storytells about liquors like they're human characters while he's roaming around his room and laying on his bed.

Sing About Me is easily the best track off of GKMC IMO. Absolutely love it.

Definitely the deepest track. That album was just overall great, with some nice bonus tracks (Collect Calls, County Building Blues, Now Or Never, & Black Boy Fly are good enough to make the 12)

I think GKMC is going to relate to alot of teenagers this generation (The temptations of alcohol/drugs, Fornication, First Loves, Peer Pressure, What it means to be real, Becoming involved in criminal activity, etc)
