Willie D Confronts Scarface About Being Excluded From Geto Boys Grammys Performance During Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Tribute: “I Feel Beyond Slighted” [Video]

“Slighted?  I feel beyond slighted,” Willie responded.  “Like what I’m tryna figure out is … First of all, I ask you Wednesday when we left here, I said, ‘What you got for the weekend?’ You said, ‘I’m finna go fuck with this Grammys thing.’ I said, ‘Alright, man, safe travels.’ Because, you know, that’s how we do it.  Saturday comes, I’m online, and an article comes across about the Grammys.  And I see ‘Geto Boys and Scarface’ in the lineup.”

“I wanna see where it says ‘Geto Boys, Scarface,'” Face interjected.  “I don’t never wanna get Geto Boys and Scarface intertwined ever.  Because I don’t need Geto Boys to be Scarface, you feel me?  So if it said ‘Geto Boys and Scarface’ or any of that shit two together, then they wrong for that because I can stand on my own two feet with no Geto Boys.”

“This is why it’s so baffling because everybody knows that, right?” Willie responded.  “You carved out a place in history for yourself.  You were so good at what you did as a solo artist – you get that.  Can’t nobody deny that, so ain’t no hate, ain’t no jealousy whatsoever.  Remember, I’m the one who said, ‘Hey man, you oughta call yourself Scarface.’ So I ain’t gon’ never hate on you.  Never.  When I see you win, I see Geto Boys win because we are a group.”

He continued: “So when somebody start talking about Scarface standing on his own, I said to myself, ‘Well Scarface got enough hit songs where he don’t need to be doing a Geto Boys song. He could have just done a Scarface song.’ If you would have done a Scarface song, that would have been different.  A Scarface song is a Scarface song.  That’s on Scarface’s catalog, not Geto Boys’ catalog.  And to do a song that’s from the Geto Boys’ catalog, ‘Mind Playing Tricks on Me,’ a song that I co-wrote, and to not have me included….”

Scarface interrupted and said, “Let’s go back to how the song came about, too, because you did have a verse on that record.  Those three verses we all know where those three verses and that music came from.  You put another verse on it.  But do you recall back when you heard that song, and J. was trying to get you to rap on that muthafucka that you didn’t like it? Do you remember that?”

“I don’t know if I didn’t like the song, but I know that I didn’t think it was phenomenal,” Willie D replied.”
