Scarface's Tiny Desk concert radiates with his decadeslong passion as an emcee and producer. There's calculated intent behind every word and note of this 30-minute set and I learned that his love for golf also runs deep during our initial meeting. He was playing a round and had difficulty dividing his attention between the plan and the course. Three days before the show, amid rehearsals, I got a call from Facemob asking, "What if I brought Mike Dean?" My expectations were already high, but that final addition set the stage for something special.
Mike Dean provided unmatched authenticity, and their shared stories added sentimental value to this performance. After all, his signature keys and synths can be heard on most of Scarface's classics and countless Rap-A-Lot records. Here, we get a rare glimpse of Scarface the conductor, bouncing through multiple eras of his catalog including "On My Block," "Mary Jane" and the bone-chilling "I Seen a Man Die."
Scarface, along with Rakim, was recently awarded the inaugural Hip-Hop Grandmaster Award from the newly launched Paid in Full Foundation, which includes a sizable financial prize and healthcare. No matter how the never-ending hip-hop greats debate is sliced, the rapper's place is cemented as one of the most influential storytellers in the culture and his Tiny Desk is proof.

I never thought I would see Scarface do a Tiny Desk Concert. I’m beyond grateful for this one.
Blew my mind
Guess yall haven’t seen Juvenile on there
@@JCMthebrandyou didn't just put Juvenile in the same category as Face did you??😂😂😂
When they announced the Black History lineup..I DM’d the producer of Tiny Desk and begged for a Scarface Tiny Desk…he might’ve listened to me lol

This is probably my favorite Tiny Desk episode hands down.
Best rap Tiny Desk ever!

Hands down the best one ever and if your not bringing this type of quality or above than dont bother doing Tiny desk
On My Block with a full band makes my heart warm.

Listen to Cambatta. He just released an album a few days ago entitled Holy Ghost 3.

People don't realize how legendary Mike Dean is! This is truly a moment.

41 years old here sitting listening to this with my 83-year-old dad. He has always been a fan of Scarface. He bought me my first cassette tape “Mr. Scarface is Back” when I was a kid. This Tiny Desk Concert was awesome and his band is world-class.
This is Awesome!! Im 39 and Oh how I wish my Dad who would have been 89 this year could be here to enjoy this Tiny Desk with me. He had an appreciation for all kinds of music and he was a Big Fan of Scarface ❤
47 here and still it throws me back 2 my gang times geez this brother is somthing else
Come on dad.......... good music NEVER goes out of style
@tffy2004 any advice for 30's??
@@tffy2004When you have a moment and can listen to it think of him I am sure he will be listening with you from a good place. Have a good 2024.
It's his passion for me. To feel your own music years later into tears. He gave his rap too much soul
Scarface’s appreciation for music is something else. And didn’t know he was also a talented musician
I can’t be the only one who didn’t want this to end. Chills the whole way through!
Chills for real. Took me back man. That nostalgia hit hard!
Teenage years flashing before my eyes
Hit me in the feels and chills! When Smile came on.. dam!
Bruh….couldn’t sleep….
This is on repeat in my car mane!
This deserves a grammy.. the definition of nostalgia.. the arrangement.. musicianship.. tones.. delivery.. background singers.. this was masterful…it’s 2023 and we up against the same ish.. Top 5 All time.. give him his flowers ❤
Mountains of them. If he comes to Holland, I qill make sure to take the biggest bouquet with me.

My sincere condolences 💐
Just imagine Pac on these NPR music sessions talkin about how, where and what inspired him boy wouldn’t that be amazing 🥹🤔
holly molly, imagine thattttt !!!!!!
pac the most over rated of all time... good yes, great meh debatable
step your troll game up 🙄🤦🏾♂️🤡👎🏽
@@rustyjames6622 truth hurts... pac is mid at best
Pac would have his own tiny desk concert. Let face have his shine!
I'm so happy my dad showed this to me, we sat down and just chilled thru the whole show together. Hip-Hop of this caliber needs to make a comeback!
Your Dad is a "Soulja"

Music was different grown up little man
It’s gone and gone forever. We can only look back
You are watching a genius at work, his emotions, he plays an instrument, he’s a storyteller and watch him compose his music live! 🔥🔥🔥
Facemoooob! He should be mentioned with the greats more often.
Yes!!!!!!!! 🙌🏾
I honestly feel honored to watch this. Im glad NPR gave this man the recognition and respect he deserves. Salute to Scarface 🔥 ❤
Facts. Growing up on Face had u looking at life decisions early.
One of the best rap voices ever. He is never monotone.
Me and my twin brother actually had the pleasure to tour with Scarface when this was first developing back in 2008. We were the Original horn players, trumpet/saxophone!! Scarface called us the MF Horn playin twins🤣🤣🤣! We were aiming for MTV unplugged spot but at that time along with a euro tour!! Im so happy this moment finally happened for someone so deserving as Scarface!! He’s an HTOWN LEGEND and HERO who’s dedicated so much time to music and the city!!!! Thanks Scarface for giving us the opportunity to be apart of something so prolific!!!!!
❤
❤️👏🏿✊🏿
That’s dope❤
Scarface and Mike Dean raised the bar to the highest in the Tiny Desk history. After this performance, artists who are planning to do a tiny desk concert, will think twice to do it or not.
You have to put the work in it. And this is the result of 30 years +
What about Juvie and Mannie Fresh??
They probably watching too lol@@DK-bl4hp
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Uncle Charlie and Mesago was on point as well.
“I often wish that I could save everyone but I’m a dreamer” This concert was everything that I needed!!
Facts!
Classic!!!! My favorite line
This spoke to my soul!!!!✊🏾
That line right there. Shheeeeeshh
Respect to Mike dean cruising along on the moog there. The mans reach across the various eras of hip hop is phenomenal
Something about this makes me want to cry! This whole thing was everything!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m with you!
I feel that brother. Face was part of my youth.
Fr 😢
I'm a 42 year old Houston native born and raised. This was viewed on Christmas Eve morning with my 65-year-old mom she sat through the whole set and had an appreciation for my music after, so a BIG thank you face & all involved for this. Htown till I drown
💯🤘🏽
Bless you and your family 🙏🏾
Same here, Brother, born in 81. This is the Soundtrack to our youth!
This why face in my top 5. Legendary shyt.
Thats awesome man!!!!
As an average white bloke from Australia, crews like Gheto Boys and NWA told me stories, of places, and the people, that I never experienced or understood However, the stories they told broke my heart in that that there are people in this world who have been punched down on for so long, yet still provide art as poignant and intelligent as this. Thank you.
Respect 👍🏿
If everyone in the world saw it from the perspective you had… I wish.. the world would be a far better place..
I respect and appreciate this comment.
This comment right here 🙏🏾
Same here... hiphop has taught me so much, gave me so much perspective
The prayer on “Smile” hits harder on this version!
This channel deserves awards.
This was deep. I can only imagine the stories going through his mind and the pain in his heart while performing this. This also shows that real hip-hop artists are actually great musicians and not just fools screaming in a mic. This is a perfect 10 for me.
10!
Art always imitates life. The people who are a part of the culture understand.
Absolutely! 💯
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

His story telling is A+. He makes you feel you was in the room when all the stuff happened. The most underrated MC.
Facts
Byyyy FAR!!!
Not underrated in Texas but I feel you
@@justinleonor1592 I think he's top 10 all time great. Better than Biggie and Tupac.
❤🎉❤
“Never seen a man cry” his performance on tiny desk hits hard than the actual song 🔥🔥
Have had this on repeat since it was posted. Absolutely amazing. Much love to Tiny Desk for setting this up. Scarface and Mike Dean are legends and I’m glad they are getting the flowers they deserve. 🙌🏾
Seriously, Mike Dean's catalog is sooooooo Deep. Dude has been involved in so many hits. Scarface legend in the hip-hop/rap game. Always appreciated his story telling.
I swear I’m at least 50 of the views
This could have been 10 hours long and I’d have still watched every second of it. This was an amazing performance
Forreal!
No doubt
Scarface is the read deal
Yup several times to
For real… I didnt want it to end… I audibly said “NOOOO!” When it ended 😢
Man, I am 50 years old and when I say THIS hit differently...these lyrics hit SO different. I'm a high school teacher and when I say there's a lesson in the music...THERE IS. I guess I've seen and lived through quite a bit. Scarface, thanks for this short journey❤️🙏🏿.
Real talk. If “Face” isn’t top 10 lyricist” of all time… Then people need to re-think what the definition of “lyricist” is!!!!
Q 0:48 0:48 0:5@@aaronwoods9562
Right there with you, 32 yrs old forgot how much face I listened to.❤
Feels & Chills! Ice ran through my veins! On My Block! ! RIP Homies 🙏🏾
I'm 57 years old we grew up listening to the best music ever, from the 70s 80s 90s and early 200s 😅
Mike Dean… the LEGEND!!!!😎
Scarface is a true legend! Face will always be in my Top Five Greatest Rappers of all times! Miss those days!!
Just about a year or so ago, we almost lost Face, thank God his son was able to provide that kidney. Normalize giving our icons their roses while they can still smell them. Normalize giving our legends their proper respect and credit. His music, his message, made it ok to feel, made it ok to go through changes mentally, made it okay to be human. Thank you for everything you have done to enrich this culture Brad Jordan aka Scarface. 💯💯👑👑🐐🐐
smell crazy hit
Well said ❤
Thank God he made it 🙏🏼❤️❤️
Facts !
Yes, indeed. 💯
This is what they called “He showed up and showed out” this is such a phenomenal performance! Scarface is badly underrated! Legendary
He is definitely not underrated he gets his props in the industry and by fans the man been over def jam south
Anyone who has been listening to rap for more than like 5 years knows already.
FACTS
Been cold!
Seasoned it!!!
As a DJ on radio you never appreciate the artist till you see em live… ,”Can you hear it now?” Yes!
The I Seen a Man Die performance was incredible such a good song
That synthesizer went CRAZY. Everyone is so talented. Gives me hope that there’s still a space for real music
Yea that was that Mike dean on that piano 💯
Just look for Mike Dean in youtube and you´ll see who`s this guy, he is a legend in music production
Bruh!! Mike Dean is amazing!
it's good to see someone refer to Mike Dean as he really is… a synthesizer
After all his health issues I'm glad Scarface blessed us with this. Shout out Mike Dean the band and the backing singers too. This is a top 10 npr performance imo.
Most def. Cheers to more life!
I feel the same!❤️
💣
You took the words out of my mouth...And Hi-key I can see that in his performance. He knows he's blessed and it's all on display! This was emotional for me! Salute Scarface! 💯💯💯💯
Top 1
This performance brought some emotions out of me man. This was amazing!!!
Scarface, nat dogg are unique in their voices. I'm Brazilian today, 56 years old, I have many CDs by these great artists. Scarface with his powerful voice is my favorite, good health brother. Greetings from a black Brazilian, thanks brother.
Where is all the ladies with the the nice Bunda in Brasil?
Smoothe is all i can say about his voice....
👊🏿✊🏿
I love that he's using a directional mic, but he can't resist turning his head and speaking to the room causing his vocals to drift in and out. The man is holding a sermon and speaking to every person in that room. This is such an incredible tiny desk
Not to nit pick but, yea I wish to god they wouldn't have used that mic.
@@TheVegasViceManI just love that standing mic when he turn his head side to side we missing some words but still sound great like it was done deliberately and also when his taking his vocals on high peach and low peach it’s so interesting to watch and hear this great performance
very delibrate and intentional to cause effect in words. Scarface is a master.
Classic
Just about to make a comment about mic etiquette lol
I love how they’re doing our favorite old school artists. Tiny desk took the mtv unplugged theme and flipped it. I respect it.
MTV Unplugged 2.0 was my immediate thought! 🔥🔥
"On My Block" is one of my favorite hip-hop songs. To me, it was just Scarface telling a story of his home. I loved it. Hearing it like this makes it even more amazing. Whoever put this together, thank you. Thank you, Scarface.
Mine too sir !!!!
HISTORY was made once again…..FACE gave a wonderful performance 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
This is one of the most special Tiny Desks I've seen. It felt so good to see Scarface doing his thing conducting as well as rhyming. Such a dope way to bring music together.
Mike Dean is killin’ the keys! This whole concert is an example of beautiful music and poetry that’s timeless.
Maaaaan lol crazy
You tripping Big Homie
💯👌🏾
He’s made a lot of hits for texas rappers 🔥🔥
❤
One of the best Tiny Desk concerts I've seen 🔥
Scarface was truly one of hip hop's most underrated artist. Everyone had their own distinct style back then, but no other artist could capture the darker aspects of life the way Face could. Whoever is responsible for this episode deserves a raise IMMEDIATELY. This was incredible.
I don't think a guy thats universally considered a top 10 MC (top 5 according to DMX) be underated.
@@OXHAMMERSTONE_NYC yes, he's in a lot of folks' top 5 (mine, for sure).
He’s definitely not underrated he was call Tupac of the south for a reason. So tired of people saying people were underrated that weren’t.
Face not under rated by no means
Face is USUALLY in a ton of people's Top 10 lists.... and is usually in a ton of people's Top 3 Southern Rappers.... I started listening to Geto Boys in like 1990.... the way he grew musically over the years is CRAZY
Scarface’s tone, lyricism, musicianship, and delivery paints a picture perfectly! This was beyond dope!
Perfectly said!
Mos Def
No doubt
I almost shed a tear when he did “seen a man die” 🔥🔥🔥🔥classic … my favorite Scarface song!!!!! Seeing her perform it like this gave me chills 😮💨
Just went to his Behind The Desk Experience at warehouse live here in Houston and Face hit the stage and performed as if he never left!!!
I'm going to meet him Friday
31 minutes and 27 seconds of pure nostalgia. Scarface, Facemob, Mike Dean, and the whole crew, thanks for starting out our Christmas of 2024 this way.
Truly a wonderful Christmas gift
2023?
On loop all day while working. Each time i hear it takes me back to the good ole days. Thanks to creator
This is Legendary 🎉
This year it's Christmas of '23 my guy. Next year '24... and so on...
OutKast needs one of these ASAP!
We would all be so lucky to see and hear that happen (unfortunately, it won't and I won't say why because those guys are near and dear to my heart) ... but if it did ... CLASSIC!
Ooh 😮
.❤😂🎉😢😮😅 😊😮
Nah bro. It will ruin this show. Hard to top that tbh.
Yesssss!!!
There are many legendary Tiny Desk Concerts. This one is my favorite. A masterpiece.
Scarface filled up that Tiny Desk 3 keyboardists, 2 guitarists, 3 background singers, a bassist and a drummer - so good!
Man… I’ll admit I didn’t really grow up with Scarface’s music, but I respected how folks held him in the rap convo. Today, I understand… innerstand, overstand. This right here was a masterclass of MCing and storytelling, not only from the music but to the stage presence as well. Well done 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 As an artist myself, I’m deeply inspired and reinvigorated by this performance. 🙏🏿❤️
respect!
Looks like you got some catching up to do. I’m jealous!!!
Definitely a legend in his own right. Take some time to listen to his catalog from DJ Akshen to his progression into Scarface. I'm 39 and grew up on Scarface since a kid because of my older cousins. He's my favorite artist and always has been. A running joke, yet reality, is that folks from DC will always have Scarface as their top 3 artists when it comes to a certain age group 😂😂😂
Well said!!
GO LISTEN TO HIS CATALOG... YOULL SEE Y HE IS THE G.O.A.T... N9 WEAK ALBUMS IN HIS CATALOG
This took me back to my 20s and I'm 46. Thank you guys, because Scarface is apart of a lot of Us!!! Good Memories ❤
Same age. We in Serbia listened to Scarface (GB) on audio tape, without even knowing what he looked like.
❤💯
You look 34-37
Part of us, yes, he is. Glad to watch this.
Same here!
This is probably the greatest live rap performance I’ve ever heard… the story you tell, is real and the way you paint the picture is out of this world.
Mike Dean and Face…..incredible!!!!!!!
This performance should be on vinyl.
It would sound good with some rice krispies...
I'm really hoping they press this one!

Mike Dean is criminally underrated, bro! He is an animal behind the boards!
And the guitar too ✨️
Mike Dean is a lot of things, but underrated is not one of them. His songs had almost 8 billion streams this year, not to mention his tour with The Weeknd. He’s the biggest producer in the world. lol
Mike Dean made them keys scream..oh my
@@justinxxiii7035 Mike Dean has a lot of money, but he doesn’t get nearly the recognition… where is he on the list of everyone’s top Producers list… he is probably listed around a bunch of guys who he would have eaten for lunch
So Scarface plays a left handed stratacaster....that is the dopest thing in 2024 that I have seen to date
Can we just give the band a little? They COOKED! Those transitions were flawless!
I’m a little older now and struggle a bit with depression… This brings me back to a happier time in my life. I needed this… thank you !!
Perfect energy for the New Year! May it fuel you to better days 🫶🏾💕
Same for me. This was refreshing in a way.
God bless on your journey👍🏾👍🏾
That's just part of life man don't ever give up the sun always rises after a dark night
Hang in there BROTHER 👊🏿✊🏿
Keep in mind Face can actually play all of the instruments up there. A living legend at the height of his powers!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finding this out when I have always had Face slamming in the car since an adolescence, and never understood why more people don’t bring him up, and his talent , to find out he plays is TRULY MIND BLOWN STATUS 🤯
Back here again for 5x times. 🔥
Listening to “Smile” got me crying 😢 at work.! 🙏🏾❤️ GOD help us!
It’s so dope to see face completely overwhelmed by the music yet in complete control of the symphony… This is amazing
Let us not forget the healrh obstacles Face had to overcome. He was struggling for awhile. His comeback is beyond amazing. He got his rest and came back strong as ever.
I was thinking about that the entire time. I saw him in concert about 2 years ago and he was very ill then. He said he wasn’t feeling well and he looked ill, so to see this was so refreshing. I absolutely love him. 🔥🔥
Let's focus on the positive and not the negative you the type that I see someone doing well in life and go tell everyone let's not forget he used to be broke what a 🍆
This one right here... Man it took me back. Face has so many hit. Took me back to the block
Oh man! Face, a legend. Where did RAP go? I want you back. Man, takes me back to my youth….I had it, no, we had it so so good. We appreciate music for what it was…a part of growing up and we will never let go….smile for me 😊
Houston’s own Scarface, one of the best to do it in hip-hop history. Mike Dean was icing on the cake. Thank you NPR Tiny Desk!
🫡 💨💨💨💨💨💨 💯💪🏿✊🏿🖤
This could literally be a live album and I’ll listen to it start to finish to start my day. Face is in my Top 10 dead or alive. We appreciate you and your contribution to Hip Hop!

Instant classic. This is right up there with Juvenille for the best NPR (Rap) Concert ever. Can we PLEASE get DJ Quik on here?? PLEASE????????
Quik would be in his element here. That’s a great suggestion. And while we’re on that, what ever happened to that EP that Face and Quik were supposedly working on together a while back?

By far, THE BEST TINY DESK CONCERT EVER!!!
Face on tiny desk directing traffic inside that tiny room, man is musical genius❤
You could have had a 2 hour Tiny Desk concert with Scarface and I would still complain it wasn't long enough. But I will just be appreciative of this 31 minute gift to the world.
Hear Hear
Exactly😂
Amen!!! 31 minutes felt like 5!!! This man is a gift from music!!!
No skill. He sucks. “I was high”
Its a gift❤
Seeing Mike Dean live is so surreal
Saw him open for The Weeknd and he was astronomical
Facts Mike Dean is eye dropping
Story telling, picture painting, the raw emotion in his delivery, subject selection, lyricism, face is the greatest in my eyes and top 3 in every real hip hop heads catalogue
That’s a whole fact!
Agreed
This was needed for hiphop
If face went on tour with a live band like this I definitely would buy tickets
I really didn't think the Juvenile Tiny Desk could be outdone. As a Face fan, this one gave me chills!
Juvenile, big daddy Kane, and this together in a group is a vibe
@@yjuicce Yes...
T-Pain was brilliant too, hard to beat.
💯

As amazing of a lyricist as Face is, the man has one of the coldest voices ever to grace a mic. And his tonal control-HIS VOICE is an instrument.
In deed
Facts
BRUH! the more I keep listening to this jont, I agree with you more n more!
And so I find myself here again and again and again and for the rest of my life...Thank you Face for these masterpieces❤🎉🎉🎉
Smile gives me chills this is like my 100 time watching
