Meek Mill's New Song Inspired by 'Scarface' Intro?

It's no secret that crime movies like Scarface remain favorites among rappers to this day. Many emcees, including the new crop's favorite OGs, have likened themselves to Tony Montana. So, it makes sense that the Scarface intro song, composed by Giorgio Moroder, might one day be looked to as a source of instrumental inspiration.



The grave aura of the Scarface intro music feels familiar to that of Danja's production in "Stand Up," and is in keeping with the '80s influence in his music. I'm sure we all remember the time Danja recreated Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" from the ground up for Kevin Cossom, and the time he sampled the "Knight Rider Theme Song" for Ciara's "Echo."

However, given the climate in music after the "Blurred Lines" verdict, I'll avoid throwing around any terms that could directly link these two compositions. No snitching. But, it's definitely worth pointing out, especially since Danja's acknowledged the parallels himself.

With the release of Dreams Worth More Than Money which dropped earlier today, here is the stream of the Danja produced track called Stand Up. Also check out the recent single called All Eyes On You featuring Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj from the album as well, which features songwriting and co-production from N.A.R.S. artist Kevin Cossom. Enjoy!
