Retired but retaining an honorary title corresponding to that held immediately before retirement. Emeritus, is Scarface. Scarface is the last of a dying breed.

No force included. Scarface has never put on airs and doesn’t start now. As if he made an album because he really had something to say. Scarface is notorious for his griot abilities: to convey reality clearly, null of falsehoods.

Thus, Scarface is the rapper you listen to if you like “Long Islands” on the rocks. He holds nothing back.

“Can’t Get Right,” “Redemption Song,” and “High Note” are all more than worthy tracks.

“Sold so many records might as well change my name to life,” Scarface spits on “Forgot About Me,” including Hip-Hop ain’t dead addends by Lil Wayne and Bun B.

Real name no gimmicks. Search no further if worn-out from believe you and believe you nots antics of today’s here today gone tomorrow “emcees.”

He spews “I’m tired of you — disrespecting the Great. I am Legend. Ain’t nobody — with ‘Face. My catalogue is timeless.”

You be the judge. Emeritus or not emeritus?
