![]() ![]() The search for a match began last Fall and ultimately, Scarface’s son Chris was a match. At one point, doctors determined he had kidney failure and needed a transplant. The health issue forced him to be bedridden for weeks and isolated from his family. The 50-year-old Houston legend had been battling kidney issues after being diagnosed with COVID-19 in March of 2020. ![]() well Friday they called me and said I was a match with my son,” Scarface said over a Zoom call promoting he and Willie D’s brand new podcast, Geto Boys Reloaded. On Tuesday (July 13), the Geto Boys member revealed his 30-year-old son would be giving him one of his kidneys, more than a year after he was diagnosed with kidney failure. Meanwhile, in the same piece, he expressed his adoration for Rakim, saying, “If I ever have a son, his middle name will be Rakim.” Praise doesn’t get much higher than that, although he’s still yet to have a son and make good on his promise.Scarface is finally getting a kidney transplant. Reasonable Doubt is his real The Blueprint. What Jay-Z did with Reasonable Doubt is take the Scarface formula and pretty it up for New York. “I love it ’cause it’s Jay’s best record – best beats, best flow – and I hate it ’cause since it came out every rap record is trying to copy it. “I love this CD and I hate it,” Rock says. Unsurprisingly, Rock has shown love for these artists before, and once speaking to Rolling Stone, he named Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt as one of his favourite albums of all time. He also provided a notable mention for LL Cool J, who narrowly missed out. In 2014, Rock even revealed that Jay-Z, Nas, Ghetto Boys’ Scarface, Rakim from Eric B, and Biggie were his five all-time favourite MCs. Hip-hop is a subject that he regularly integrates into his stage shows and has been a rare defendant of the genre in the mainstream. In the late ’90s, Rock’s Bigger and Blacker special made him the most revered comic in the States, which is a status that he’s managed to maintain over the last 20 years. It only took him a couple of years at Studio 8H before outgrowing his role and dominating the comedy scene. That allowed Rock the opportunity to elevate his career, and soon enough, he had millions of Americans in hysterics by his antics every week. His startling career started back when he was a teenager in the ’80s, which led to him securing his big break when in 1990, he earned a role as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. ![]()
