2827655, Can we list all Hip Hop references to the movie Scarface?
Posted by subjctmattr, Thu Aug-01-13 06:10 AM
Hip Hop has long been in love with this movie, but I lost count of all the references while watching this movie lately. Can we try to list them all?

A few:
Nas- The World is Yours - The Blimp
Mobb Deep- G.O.D. Father III - The sample
Public Enemy- Welcome to the Terrordome- Flav's rant "who do I trust...me that's who"

yay-yo, that's crazy blunts"

Some guy I don't know (yeah I'm too lazy to find out) on the Beatnuts "off the books": "I like to chill, spark an L and get high, I'm one hell of guy, fly pelican fly"

Jay Z on JT's "suit and tie": "nothing exceeds like excess"

Nas on "Last real nigga alive": "I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo. It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo"

There's a load on "The Predator", and let's not forget the rapper Scarface.
Also - DJ Ready Red was the first producer to sample Scarface on a record (as far as anyone seems to know). There's a load of early Geto Boys stuff that samples it too.
