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 .

[The Blogmine is a weekly feature where your fearless Stranger Dance staffers dig up all the gold hidden around the blogosphere. Feel free to pass along any interesting stories we may miss.] Great interview with Scarface , who's whole tortured gangster persona has always made him one of the more intriguing rappers out there. [ The Smoking Section ] Animal Collective's Avey Tare responds to the last week's leak of "Brother Sport." [ State ] In other Animal [...]
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 [...]
No one can say I didn't try to at least understand what Kanye was doing (or trying to at least) on 808s and Heartbreak . Even after being non-plussed after a couple listens, I still tried to give Ye the benefit of the doubt. I'll admit listening to the production on CD is a pretty dynamic workout for my modest desk speaker system, but that still doesn't make "RoboCop" any less flaming. I want to drink the neon Kool-Aid and believe anything not in auto-tune blows, but in truth this new act is [...]
Yung Texxus is part of the group Green City who recently put out a CD under Scarface's label. Yung Texxus - Say It All
"If they addicted how they gon survive? If they stuck at the bottom, how the f they gon rise?" Face channels Pac on this one. And his album is nice btw. Go buy that. Download the audio HERE
Two of my favourite artists coming together here, Scarface and Bilal, both of them people who I think really see sense... anyway check the vid, it's powerful - 'Get Right' Can't Get Right Feat. Bilal
For those of you tree hugging + scarf hugging emo-herbs, slap yourself three times and listen to some real music from King 'Face. Emeritus is in stores today and it goes harder than anything else you've ever heard in your soft-serve life. Video directed by Mr. Boomtown for those of you who care. TEXAS > e'ery where else.
It's always good to see a strong song get an even stronger visual to back it up. A little promo for 'Face's last album (until the next one). I still think of this song every time the beat drops though. And drop David D. a word of encouragement so he can watch the clip. Emeritus in stores and online today.

I'm not joking right now. This is the release list for tomorrow. And I was being generous by including Blackout Beach because I have no clue who that is. So... how 'bout them Dodgers? :: Akon , Freedom (Universal) :: Blackout Beach , Skin of Evil (Soft Abuse) :: Britney Spears , Circus (Jive) :: The Decemberists , Always the Bridesmaid: A Singles Series - Voume 3 (Y.A.B.B./Jealous Butcher) :: Panic [...]
if yr wondering if this new joint is even worth your time, you better get your head straight and COP THAT SHIT . More than two decades of rapping and he's a legend who still sounds as important now as he ever has. "High Powered" is such a great single, stratosphere-tearing synths & face talking shit on lil troy, papa reu on the hook, stuttering snares and Scarface's old man swagger( mea culpa ). Incredible single. Nothing really disappointing here at all, and what I want to say about Scarface requires more focus than I [...]

I've been hearing things hear n' there about a new album from Scarface. Saw this over at nahright. " Can't Get it Right" featuring Bilal . Not sure who Production wise, but its on point... From the title Emeritus , look up the word if you'r unfamiliar. Ha'. Emeritus: "The term is used when a person of importance in a given profession retires, so that his or her former rank can still be used in his or her title." By that defintion Emeritus will be his last album ? probably not... [...]

Yeah, I got Itunes. No I don't have an Ipod, hopefully this Christmas Santa can overlook the whole being naughty thing. Who is he to judge anyway? Just kidding Santa if you're reading this… Anyway, as I browse and dig into the CD piles that seem to magically appear out of nowhere, like… well like jolly old Santa Claus on Christmas day, yeah! With presents, hell maybe even an electric device of some sorts that plays music, maybe it rhymes with "Fry Cod" * Wink-Wink * Maybe I'll wait until my tax returns, either way I'm getting one, ya stingy [...]
