Bun B – “I thought it was very telling that he was able to do this record. And it was not just my favorite, but a lot of people’s favorite. A lot of people feel that way, but they’re not really sure about how to express that. I think that records like that make it a lot easier for the brother that considers himself hardcore, rough and tough and impenetrable, to understand that it’s okay to be real with certain people. A lot of times in life, especially in the streets and in the rougher side of the world, you’re told not to expose anything to anybody. But everybody has to break down and give it up to somebody.”

Scarface: The Grand Finale

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Scarface is dead. And it didn’t take a disgruntled business partner seeking revenge to take this Scarface out.

Emeritus is Scarface’s grand finale. Deriving his ninth solo album’s title from a word defined as, “one retired from professional life but permitted to retain as an honorary title the rank of the last office held,” ‘Face is officially announcing to the world that he’s done with the rap game.

After the December release of Emeritus [click to listen], Scarface will be retired from his emcee profession, having attained the rank of legend over the course of his nearly 20-year career.

Popular Hip-Hop site, HipHopDx, gathered perspectives from some of Hip-Hop’s heavyweights on how they felt about Barack Obama’s election on November 4th.

Here’s a little bit of what Bun B said:

No, not at all,” replied Bun B when asked if rappers should refrain from being critical in song of Obama and his administration. “One thing about being an American is that we have the freedom of speech. One thing about being a citizen is that you have the right to criticize your president. That’s the whole point of a democracy is that it’s run by the people, and the people decide and choose what the policy is and who the people are that implement that policy. And with a person like Barack Obama, we have to hold him to a higher standard than we would normally, because of who he is and what he represents to so many people. This is an opportunity that has never been given before to a person of color. And because of that opportunity, and the many opportunities that are possibly to follow, he has to do very well and do right by us…”
