The Geto Boys are regarded as the group that not only put Houston (and the Fifth Ward) on the hip-hop map, but also the South on the hip-hop map. He didn't owe Willie D anything, if that's the case.Geto Boys, a Houston rap group, was formed in 1986 by James “Lil’ J” Smith, owner of Rap-A-Lot Records. It was marketed as Scarface, meaning that they weren't honoring the group. I didn't see the grammys, but Scarface seems to be implying that his performance wasn't marketed as Geto Boys. Regular venues, hole in the wall clubs etc this isn’t really necessary, but the Grammys is different. It’s the Grammys, and they got cash to spend so I highly doubt they would’ve said no. Scarface could’ve easily been like ‘I’m not doing the show if Willie isn’t on stage to perform it’ just so he could get a bag also. Yeah, the Grammys should’ve called Willie D, but I still think there is a certain loyalty aspect that should be upheld here. It wouldn’t be the same song, and I doubt it would be held in such high regards.

J Prince made him do it as a group, so I wouldn't be surprised if Face still feels like it's really song.Įither way, Willie D should direct all of that anger towards the Grammys. That's why Face still ended up with two verses on that record. Number5 said Well 'My Mind Playing Tricks on Me' was originally a Scarface song with 3 Scarface verses by himself.
