Love, peace and happiness.


Is there ever going to be love, peace and unity in hip hop music? I think it is hard to reach these above mentioned goals in the hip hop community. There are many music genres where there is a harmony. I think that is not in the nature of the hip hop culture. I think there is an element from the streets involved with the hip hop culture.

Love: Where ever there is love people can work together and achieve something. This is in the hip hop culture that is why there are so many collaborations are in the game of rap. I can give you an example the song called "Black republicans" is a song made my former enemies who became friends and made a great hit. Nas and Jay-Z are hip hop's big names in the hip hop music. I think showing love is the way to get things done.

Peace: Where ever there is love there is peace. I think in the today's hip hop culture there is lots of peace between rappers. I think rappers Cam'ron and Ma$e are really cool. They influence other rappers to collaborate and achieve riches.

Unity: Where ever peace and love is there can be unity. I think there is a lots of people need to join in some sort of community to take them out of the social isolation. There is the Templeofhiphop for all the heads out there who like to study the hip hop culture. In this case you can be part of a culture.

Dmx new album coming in 2010.


In this post I would like to introduce the rapper called DMX. He is born in 18-december 1970. He is an American rapper who rose in the late 1990s. His name refers to the Oberheim DMX drum machine. He used this beat machine to make his beats in the 1980s. His best selling album is 'And then there was X'.

I think DMX is a grimy rapper and he gets all the props from all over the globe. I think he is not only famous in the US, but also across the borders. He is also an actor. He has played part in the movie 'Belly'. I think he is very suitable for the character in the movie Belly. He also played a part in the movie 'Exit wounds'. He also played a part in the movie called 'Romeo must die'. I think it is great that he got his own show on B.E.T. This show is called 'Soul of a man'. DMX is from Yonkers with his fellow Yonkers Ruff Ryders he made great music for all types of hip hop fans to listen. I think the song called 'What is my name?' is a great song with a hype beat.

Below you can find all the albums he released.

Born loser (1992)
It's Dark and Hell Is Hot (1998)
Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood (1998)
...And Then There Was X (1999)
The Great Depression (2001)
Grand Champ (2003)
Year of the Dog...Again (2006)
Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly With Me Later (2010)

THE L.O.X


This post is about the rap group called The L.O.X. This stands for Living Off Xperience. The LOX is an American rap group with three members. The members are Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and Styles P. They were signed to P.Diddy's Badboy records before signing to Ruff Ryders records.

They started their career in their hometown Yonkers. They started a rap group called Bomb Squad. The local scene was mainly brought to attention by names like Raw Rome, Lord Devon and DMX. The group changed their name into Warlocks. They kept building a loyal fan base and one of their devoted fans was Mary J. Blige. Mary saw what the group's potential was and passed the demo tape to P. Diddy. Later on they signed the deal with Badboy records. In 1996 LOX gained lots of attention by appearing on the hit song 'Last Days'. They made a tribute song to Biggie Smalls called 'We 'll always love big poppa'. The album 'Money, power and respect' branded the rap group as an important voice in rap music. LOX wrote the hit 'All about the Benjamins'. They also appeared on the track called '24 hours to live'.

In 1999 they wanted to sign to the new formed rap label called Ruff Ryders/Interscope. They thought the new label might be more suitable to their hardcore mentality. Sheek Louch says that they wanted to sign to a label that fits their hardcore image. In 2000 LOX released the album called 'We are the streets'. In 2010 the album called 'New LOX order' will come out.

Dilated Peoples


If you know the hit song called 'worst comes worst' then you must know Dilated peoples. If you do not know who Dilated Peoples are then you can get to know if you read this post. Dilated people are a rap group from California. The crew exist of three members. DJ Babu, Evidence and Rakaa Iriscience.

They made their name known in the underground hip hop scene. They made hits like 'This way' with Kanye West and 'worst comes worst'. This song contains a sample of Prodigy from Mobb Deep. This song is a song that makes you feel good on a summer day. Their first single was released in 1992 called 'third degree'. In 1997 they released the song 'Work the angles'. An album called 'Imagery, Battle Hymns & Political Poetry' was never released. In 2000 they released the album called 'Platform'. In 2004 was the album named 'Neighbourhood watch' was released.

The fourth album was released in 2006. It is called 20/20. Dilated Peoples are in the network of Alkaholiks. I think Dilated Peoples have to gain more commercial success. I think they got talent. I think Dilated Peoples do a great job contributing to the hip hop community. They label their self as true underground hip hop. That is what I like the most about them.

Capone and Noreaga.


In 1996 Capone and Noreaga signed a deal with Penalty records. They were featured in the unsigned hype column. In 1996 before the debut album was finished Capone went to prison for parole violation. Noreaga got help form various QB artists to finish the album. The War Report album contains great tracks like 'LA, LA' and 'Driverseat'.

This album was commercial and critical acclaim. Release of this album was a new beginning of the Gangster rap era of the east coast. In 1999 the second album was released this album was called 'The reunion'. This is a great album with famous guest appearances. In 2004 there was a mixtape released it was called 'what's up to the hood thugged out'. In 2005 Capone was released form his label called Def Jam. In the same year Capone recorded the album. 'Pain, Time and Glory'. In March 2009 CNN released the album called 'Channel 10'.

This Queens duo make dope hip hop music. Capone and Noreaga are childhood friends. They continue to bring hip hop music from New York to the next level. I think the solo projects of the duo are fruitful. I hope that this Queens duo stick together for long time to bring us dope hip hop music

Jay-Z is a great entrepreneur.


Shawn Corey Carter is also known as Jay-Z. He is a New York rapper and an intelligent
Businessman. He is one of the most successful businessman and a rapper. I think I like Jay-Z for being a businessman first. Because it is obvious that he brings that knowledge from the studio to the stage. I think it is important to rappers have some sort of foundation in working ethics.

I think rapper Jay-Z has a strong working ethic. He seems much disciplined in his behaviour. He works hard and this make the rap business go around. I think he is a dope rapper. That is a second thing I like about him. His flows changed through the years. On an early track with Big Daddy Kane and Big L he raps were fast and nowadays his raps seems to be no more show and improving with outdated flows. I am a fan of his clothing line called Rocawear.com. I think the watches are of the finest quality. He is also the owner of the New Jersey Nets.

He is originally from Marcy housing projects. He and AZ use to go school together. His nickname use to be Jazzy. This later became Jay-Z. He had much interest in music since the early stage. His musical master is known as Jaz-O.

Divine breath.


No time for playing, I'll be spraying,
verbal aerosol, the essence of rap,
I am not stressing the facts,
why chaps fake moves, clap tools,
spill brew, chill is my mood,
no troop can blam, my moves too smooth,
keep you in check, loops and tunes,
for me to groove, not that rude

chedder I got that too,
for better I break the fool,
the head cat, get bread back,
from the initial state to now,
rhyme best, evil appears with nine heads,
wetting like regal gear, I blow divine breath.

Off the map


I blaze cubans with aroma, phrase glazed styles,
the low profile, the Asiatic child,
hold down the grounds from oversees,
I got to rap for my cheese, no need to be straped,
I front not, peace kids, ease and breath,
the scene lit like trees, the sqadron of supreme mc's,
at least I can preach peace in my thesis,
Like Jesus,

I represent the streets, the life and the rhymes and beats,
you know out to flow, staying low and playing big, my enemies
want to hold hands, that is not all man,
my style 360 degrees like the plasic plate,
the prolific raps, you can not mess with,
watch you step might collapse off the map kid.
