The Gas Face is a song by the hip hop group 3rd Bass, released in 1989 as a single from their debut album, The Cactus Album. The song features rappers MC Serch and Pete Nice trading verses over a funky beat and samples from various sources, including the Tom Tom Club and comedian-actor Richard Pryor.
The "gas face" was a slang term popularized by the group that refers to a facial expression of disgust or contempt. The song's lyrics take aim at various targets, including rappers who "front" or fake their tough personas, music critics who don't understand hip hop culture, and corporations that exploit artists for profit.
The Gas Face proved to be a hit for 3rd Bass, reaching #46 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and cementing their place in the emerging alternative hip hop scene of the late 1980s. The song's video, directed by Spike Lee, also helped to popularize the group's message and style.
