Scarface (born Brad Jordan, November 9, 1970) is a rapper from the South Acres neighborhood in Houston, Texas, originally known for his work as a member of the Geto Boys. He has been a solo artist since 1991, becoming one of the most popular southern rappers in the business although maintaining ties to the Geto Boys. He is known for his sometimes unique and exaggerated voice and rapping technique.
Recording as Akshen, he began his career recording solo for Rap-A-Lot Records, a local label in Houston, Texas. In the late 1980s, he joined the Geto Boys as they were forming and released We Can’t Be Stopped, a highly successful LP that garnered the Geto Boys a large fanbase, in spite of their ultra-violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV. Akshen changed his name to Scarface (he even changed his flow from a rapid-fire Kool G Rap-like delivery to normal flow, this time with a darker tone), after the film Scarface, saying he felt that the main character of the movie was just like him in many ways. Scarface soon released his debut solo album, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The album was a success, and Scarface’s popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys.
Scarface left the group and released a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view in spite of decreasing sales.

hands down the most over looked mc in the game!!!!!! he wrote rymes for bushwick n willie d from his ghetto boyz dayz, plus he can go head to head with jay-z,nas,king tee,ice cube,snoop dog. this is nothing to sneeze at cause he does rank up there with the likes of rakim,slick rick,drez(from black sheep) and gurantee lil wayne WOULD GET BLOWN OUT THE BOX if he ever got on a serious track with scarface.

I would not say that Scarface is better then Rakim at all....wow...The man that is acclaimed to have written the book for mcing. Anyways, lyricism is alot about flexing your mcing ability in Hip Hop, its not just about what you are saying (bear with me). A Mc's lyrical abilities, in Hip Hop, are determined by internal rhyming, metaphors, rhyming couplets, vocabulary, message, concepts, versatility, and originality...Sorry that I don't think Face is the greatest because his ability to story tell.
