Scarface Says "Hip Hop Is White Now," Blames Record Executives

[cobbland]

Scarface recently vented about his frustrations with record label executives and Hip Hop. In an interview with Hardknock TV, Face shared his displeasure by speaking on how he feels race and racism affect the music that is released by record companies.

"I feel like we losing it," Face said in the clip. "I feel like the people that are in control of what Hip Hop does is so fucking White and so fucking Jewish and so they don't give a fuck about what the culture and the craft really is about."



Scarface paused at this point and said he wanted to clarify.

"Let me say this shit right because I want this to be as offensive as I can fuckin' make it for these old-ass punks that's running these record labels that's in the powerful positions to dictate what the Black community hears and listens to. I fucking hate that shit. That shit pisses me off," he added.

"There's no fucking way that you can tell me that it's not a conspiracy against the Blacks in Hip Hop. You put out fucking records that make us look stupid. You make us look dumb. You brainwash a generation of Hip Hoppers with this fucking crud and then when these other rappers come out, splitting it down the middle, these other rappers' shit sound like 'Wow!' Y'all look great!' 'Y'all look stupid!' ... Then mothafuckers start going over here and pretty soon, Hip Hop is White now."

More from this interview, including Scarface's praise for Kendrick Lamar, can be seen below.

Scarface has been rapping as a solo artist and group member with Geto Boys since the early 1990s. Scarface has also been in charge of Def Jam South in the past. Less than a year ago, Scarface spoke with HipHopDX's current Editor-in-Chief Justin Hunte regarding his take on the new generation of emcees and Hip Hop. Speaking of this, he said, "I think that anything goes in Hip Hop these days. I blame everybody who came before right now, including myself, for the conditions of what it is. I think the people that came before me taught me and if I couldn’t reach nobody else, then I didn’t do my job. I should’ve been a little better about the way that I laid my blueprint down. So I have nobody to blame but myself for the conditions of Hip Hop today."

Props to Scarface for this.

But it's amazing how people can cosign a message, based on who the messenger is (not just on this site, but in general).

People need to stop looking at the negative, rap is way better now than it was five years ago. Don't we got k dot, j Cole, drake, Krit, TDE, etc at the forefront of this shit. It's heading in the right direction. There has always been fuckery in rap

has black ownership increased?

do black artists as a whole do better financially?

why the fuck shouldnt we be aware of who is pulling the strings?

the creativity and talent will always b there in some way... his sentiment speaks towards the composition of the machine and the filth that they are deliberately pushing...

I remember reading somewhere that almost every major black artist that has tried to create a black distribution system has either died or had their reputation completely obliterated

Because it's so fucking white, so fucking Jewish...they won't allow it to happen. That's why.

What he is saying is true but I don't agree that we will ever lose hip hop.

When Robert Johnson n them started the blues or even when Chuck Berry and them were pioneering rock and roll, they were virtually unknown on a large scale in the U.S. till the British started wanting to be black and came back over here performing our music

Hip hop though has already sold 100 of millions of records performed primarily by black artist and nobody will ever forget that.

They might control the money but we still control our minds

Even with all their wealth, affluence and connections, they're still SLAVES to the system . .

Most of their wealth, believe it or not was obtained by obeisance to powerful Caucasoids . ..

Yes black ownership has increased and we are doing better financially. Yall niggas really need to do some research about blues. Rock, and early rap artist, those mfs got jerked.

We got and had people like jay, puff, site,j prince,etc. Blacks have made strides in the executive ranks in the business.

So youre saying we had millionaires in the 50s and 60s like we do today like we do in jay,puffy,birdman, Dr dre, Wayne, snoop, camron,Outkast,etc. Aside from probably Berry Gordy, who the fuck was wealthy back then?
