Scarface is he overrated/underrated??

[Deepsniper35]

Many times in other rap forums a lot of people (mainly out of Texas) put scarface in their top 10s but in the Texas rap community we hardly ever recognize him... I mean the man is probably the most awarded/successful rapper out of Texas he went 3x platinum as a solo artist and 1x platinum with the Geto Boys. So my question is scarface overrated or underrated to yall? And why?

Scarface definitely one of the best to do it it in my opinion... I wouldn't call him overrated..but st the same time he's not under rated I don't think. He gets his recognition

Yeah I get you...but at the same time when discussing Houston rap icons he never gets mentioned which makes me think of him as underrated. Personally he is not in my top 10 but in achievements he one of the best

[J-Don]

to me he always seemed like one of those rappers you acknowledge, but I never cared to listen to him.

[Khameleon]

post your list of top 10 houston rappers and I guarantee he shits all over them so fuck your shitty opinion. and anyone in the "texas rap community" who doesn't "recognize" him is a fucking faggot and they're irrelevant

you probably have some dumbshit like 50/50 twin and magno in your top 10 gnr no one cares

Scarface is definitely not overrated and I wouldn't call him underrated... The thing about Scarface is that even though he is from Houston, Face really don't make that Texas style music. He is in a way different lane. There are very few rap artist who gonna reach into you soul and make you feel what they're saying the way he does. Face is the "Grandpa" of rap. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way either. Everybody know how it is when your grandpa sit you down because he gonna tell you something he knows that YOU NEED TO HEAR. Thats what Face does when he spits. I think thats why he doesn't get mentioned much in Texas conversations. People in Tx are usually stuck in box thinking you have to sound like UGK, Lil Keke, Slim Thug, etc... There ain't nothing wrong with that sound. I love that sound. I grew up on that but that can't be the only thing you listen to. When you want that substance in your rap music you go to Face, 2pac, and these days I'd throw Big K.R.I.T. in that list. So to answer Face is definitely not overrated. He will go down as one of the all time greats in Hip Hop/Rap

This.
I mean I listen to a few of his songs every now and then but he's not in my top 5 texas rappers i constantly listen to. But gotta give him credit for his music and showing that not everyone in texas is juzt tryna drrip candy paint nd fuck hoez shawty

[Pre-K]

yeah i dont listen to him much either but i dont hate on em i know why ppl like em

id rather jam some 50/50 twin or magno cuz im tryna drip candy paint nd fuck hoes

[J_man_713]

I respect him as a hip hop artist but he's never been or never will be in my top 10 from Texas. Nothin personal, just not my personal favorite

[DJ_BlackJack]

definitely got some good solo tracks as well as being a featured guest on. he gets his recognition, so id say hes neither overrated or underrated

[Mex]

I don't give a fuck about him
all I know is that I fucked his ass up that time when I played Def Jam

[pressureworld]

I believe him to be one of the best period. Who has been more constant? As he has got older his sound and albums have matured. He seems to speak from a grown man perspective. When those around him are still taking about bullshit. He should be celebrated.

Nice to see people give an honest opinion

I agree he is neither overrated or underrated
