Scarface Willing To Make Another Geto Boys Album If Rick Rubin Produces It
Scarface commends Rick Rubin for his contributions to Hip Hop, says he's unsure if the producer's a fan of his music.
For fans of Houstonian Hip Hop trio Geto Boys there might be the slightest chance of a new album from the group, but a new project from the Geto Boys comes with a rather hefty stipulation. While chopping it up with Hard Knock TV, Scarface revealed that he’d be willing to create another Geto Boys album only if it was produced by iconic record producer Rick Rubin.
“You know what, if Rick Rubin would produce another Geto Boys album I’d do it. If Rick Rubin produced a Geto Boys album, not a song, a fucking album. I’d do it. Otherwise, I ain’t doing it,” Scarface revealed.
Rubin worked heavily with Scarface as well as Willie D and Bushwick Bill on The Geto Boys, an album that featured a handful of reworked tracks from Grip It! On That Other Level and Making Trouble on top of several new songs from the group.
Prior to speaking on the possibility of a new Geto Boys album, Scarface expressed his appreciation for Rubin as a Hip Hop pioneer, but did express some uncertainty when he stated that he was unsure if the producer was a fan of his music.
“I got a lot of respect for Rick and what he did, what he’s doing. And what he means to Hip Hop. And I could have just been reading it wrong. Maybe somebody said that shit just trying to be funny or some shit, but somebody said that Rick Rubin didn’t like my shit,” said Scarface. “Every time I see Rick Rubin it’s like we all cool and shit. So, I’m assuming that he might have did like my shit and then again maybe not. I love his shit. I love Rick Rubin. Like I said, I love what he did for Hip Hop. Rick Rubin was a part of the program, in the early parts of it. He had those rock and roll type beats.”
Released in 2005, The Foundation serves as the Geto Boys’ last studio album.

Well a new Rubin/Geto Boys effort would be a dream come true. Right now Rubin is working on albums with Black Sabbath, Crosby Stills and Nash, Metallica and The Band Perry whoever that is. Really, if they do not do a whole album even a single would be really nice. The Ruben/Geto Boys CD is the best Geto Boys disc in my opinion, and it was just reworking previous material. Rubin is just the kind of maverick renegade who might do this, even after producing shits like Timberlakes Future Sex/Love Sounds and Jay Zs' Black Album.

He hasn’t touched many rap albums or songs in a long time. I think there are many more people he could work with that would be better for the album.
Like DJ Paul and Juicy J

Scarface also says there is “a conspiracy against the Blacks in Hip Hop” and explains how record label executives have “brainwashed a generation” of fans.
Scarface recently vented about his frustrations with record label executives and Hip Hop. In an interview with Hardknock TV, Face shared his displeasure by speaking on how he feels race and racism affect the music that is released by record companies.
“I feel like we losing it,” Face said in the clip. “I feel like the people that are in control of what Hip Hop does is so fucking White and so fucking Jewish and so they don't give a fuck about what the culture and the craft really is about.”
Scarface paused at this point and said he wanted to clarify.
“Let me say this shit right because I want this to be as offensive as I can fuckin' make it for these old-ass punks that's running these record labels that's in the powerful positions to dictate what the Black community hears and listens to. I fucking hate that shit. That shit pisses me off,” he added.
“There's no fucking way that you can tell me that it's not a conspiracy against the Blacks in Hip Hop. You put out fucking records that make us look stupid. You make us look dumb. You brainwash a generation of Hip Hoppers with this fucking crud and then when these other rappers come out, splitting it down the middle, these other rappers' shit sound like 'Wow!' Y'all look great!' 'Y'all look stupid!' … Then mothafuckers start going over here and pretty soon, Hip Hop is White now.”
More from this interview, including Scarface's praise for Kendrick Lamar, can be seen below.
Scarface has been rapping as a solo artist and group member with Geto Boys since the early 1990s. Scarface has also been in charge of Def Jam South in the past. Less than a year ago, Scarface spoke with HipHopDX's current Editor-in-Chief Justin Hunte regarding his take on the new generation of emcees and Hip Hop. Speaking of this, he said, “I think that anything goes in Hip Hop these days. I blame everybody who came before right now, including myself, for the conditions of what it is. I think the people that came before me taught me and if I couldn’t reach nobody else, then I didn’t do my job. I should’ve been a little better about the way that I laid my blueprint down. So I have nobody to blame but myself for the conditions of Hip Hop today.”
