I Bet you didn’t know that Scarface used to be a DJ before he became a rapper, and actually became a rapper to become a better DJ!
Scarface said :
“Shit, I even started rapping just so I could be a better DJ,” he wrote. “You can blame Whodini’s Grandmaster Dee for that. He was a DJ who could rap, and I just knew that I could outrap him. So I started rapping because I wanted to make sure that if I ever got into a battle with a DJ who could rap, I’d have all my bases covered… And shit, once I’d made that choice, there wasn’t any question.”
Scarface also explained how rapping got him moving forward and why he has never looked back since.
“I wasn’t just going to be a DJ who could rap, I was going to be the best rapper at my school. I was going to be the coldest DJ/Rapper you ever heard.”
