Scarface
adds that "country music is sounding more brilliant."
Scarface says that modern Rap music pales in comparison to the quality of material
being generated in other forms of music.
“The Rap shit [is] sounding stupider and stupider, and Country music
is sounding more brilliant,” Scarface says in an interview with xxlmag.com.
“Rock music is sounding more brilliant and Alternative music is sounding
way more brilliant. Shit sound good as fuck. Everybody [in Hip Hop] wants to
turn up now, even in R&B. Who stole the soul? The soul is gone. Twenty-five
years ago it was called soul. Thirty years ago it was called soul. Then they
turned it into rhythm and blues, R&B. What is it now? Is R&B gone, too?”
A member of politically-minded Gangster Rap group the Geto Boys, Scarface says
that music helped determine the type of act he would become.
“I think that the music that I listened to turned me into the artist
that I am,” he says. “I grew up listening to great music that molded
my character and my artistry, that helped me. You got to look at it. Look at
the music that came out 25 years ago. Now match it up to the music that came
out today. There’s no comparison to it. I go back to the same question
that I always ask. Who stole the soul?”
