Scarface is the greatest rapper of all time.

I know it's dumb to make a statement like that and act as if its fact, but I truly feel it is fact. Every other single rapper who is brought up in this discussion has a blemish on their discography. Scarface has not 1. If not all classic albums, all near classics at the very least. And that's his solo discography. Shall we bring up the Geto Boyz? Nobody has been apart of as much classic Hip-Hop as Scarface has, without a single blemish. Don't forget The Product album a few years ago, another classic or near classic.

Due to his extensive discography without a single less than quality release, Scarface truly is the greatest rapper to ever live - the collection proves that imo.

y'all always talkin' about me and T.I. lol, when truly, Face is my favorite.

It depends what you're basing it on. His discography may have no major fail in it but there are average albums within it (Emeritus was good but not anything above average). The thing with him is that he never went for huge mainstream success so he doesn't really have the corny albums that may tarnish someone like LL or Nas' discographies but the lack of imagination or formulaic approach to some of his albums doesn't make the anything special.

Dude is a legend but if I had to choose between him and Cube i'd take Cube all day everyday.

Emeritus?!? that was great way to close his career. 9/10 album imo. The only tracks I didn't like were High Note and We Need You. Everything else is pure fire. Well it's artists like LL and Nas' fault they went for the mainstream success and tarnished their own discographies. They brought that upon themselves. That's an excuse imo, the consequences they decided to roll with. Thankfully, Face sold his good amount of records without having to do that crap.

Face > Cube imo and I LOVE Cube. Face doesn't have a single album as weak as both the War & Peace releases.

He doesn't have a a really weak album (although i dont think neither war and peaces are weak) but i'd say hes formulaic and hence sometimes a bit average for him. In contrast Cube pushed the boundary and switched it up every album from Straight Outta Compton all the way up to Lethal Injection. He has the classics that Scarface doesn't have imo Everybody has their own opnion and although The Diary is a classic i wouldn't say its top 5 and on the whole i've seen it in very few top 5s. Death Certificate or Amerikkkas Most wanted are real defining moments and on the whole put Cube above Scarface imo. Although sayin that i havent listened to every geto boy album or every scaraface track.
