Thursday, August 25 2011 10:38 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

MTV caught up with the real Tony Montana, actor Al Pacino on the red carpet for the Blu-Ray release of Scarface. Al thanked and credited the hip-hop community for the popularity of the film.

“The hip-hop people and the rappers got together and they made a video and they talked about the movie. I don’t think anybody’s ever talked about it as articulately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it. I mean, they really get it and they understand it, and that’s a great thing. They’ve been very supportive all these years. I think they’ve helped us tremendously.”

Less than 24 hours after Lil Wayne’s “It’s Good” hit the ‘net, VIBE produced a quote from Weezy about his jab toward Jay-Z. It will be featured in their upcoming Oct./Nov issue.

“I know there won’t be any repercussions behind what I did,” says a confident Wayne when asked if he had second thoughts about recording his acidic verse for ‘It ‘s Good.’ “I know for a fact music is about perception. You can’t do anything but perceive what you hear. I know that for a fact. So I can’t ever be upset about someone’s reaction.” 

As for Jadakiss, who is featured on the song, he says leave him out of it, you hating ass cocksuckers.
