what Chris Rock said in rolling stone about Scarface's first album was real talk..
Chris Rock on Mr Scarface is back
"Everything Biggie did, everything Pac did, everything Jay z does was originally done on the first Scarface album. Biggie kills himself at the end of his first record: well, Scarface did it three years earlier. He was the first guy to do rhymes in the first person about robbing people and drug dealing: he was the first guy to really talk about being depressed and being institutionalized, and how his mama is scared of him. He is the most underrated rapper of all time and absolutely in the top three, you cannot get to four without mentioning Scarface. Any rapper knows that."

Amerikkka's Most Wanted
Death Certificate
Kill At Will EP
Lethal Injection/The Predator are both arguable classics as well.
