D-Block

D Block officilaly launched in 03 comin' from the underground rap game but ever since then, they been keepin' their tracks true to hip hop ever since. D Block has three members: Styles P, Jadakiss, and Sheek Louch. Each of these artists bring their own unique style to the group and when this three headed beast is together on a track its bound to wreak havoc. D-Block has beef with 50 and his G-unit gang and you'll always her em dissin thru their tracks.




They started out in Yonkers, New York when they were in high school callin' themselves "The Bomb Squad". Together they deliver fierce lyrics and they've been known to rap about what's goin on with the street life accurately as they were livin' it. The later changed their name to "The Warlocks" and then finally "The LOX" which is known as D-Block today. LOX stands for Living Off eXperience which is what they rap about to keep their music real.
Take a real listen to feel it in the air and maybe even take a look at a few of their other tracks and you'll get a feel of how real D-Block is.

NAS

Nasty Nas is a name everyone's heard, Nas has been rappin since 91 and he's goin at it 20 years later. He's from Queensbridge, New York and isn't the first from his family either, his father was also a musician for the kind of jazz, Olu Dara. At one point in his life he decided to join a group The Firm but only released one album with them called Illmatic in 93.

Nas dropped out of school in the eighth grade but if you take a look at him today, you can only say that he's a successful artist. He began writin' rhymes since he was nine and his rhymes styll kill it today. His albums are always a true product of hip hop and he's tryna bring hip hop back. He keeps his raps street and most people have hear NY state of mind by nas but check out these other tracks by him as well. His creativity and ability to put rhymes together keeps his tracks deep and real, far from all that mainstream bullshit. If you close your eyes and jus listen to Project windows you can imagine everything he's talkin about and that's just a true example of his creativity comin' to life.



A few years ago Nas was in a huge dispute with jay z, both of these artists went at it for a while through tracks constantly dissing each other. However, they both later peaced it out in a radio station in NYC. Nas has a determined mind as he's constantly releasing albums when he gets a chance, his latest album was relased in 2010 and everyone's heard of it as "Distant Relatives", it's an collaboration with nas and damian marley. He's also workin' on another album right now with  other people incudin RZA and Dr. Dre just to mention a few. His music is powerful and keeps hip hop afloat.

Canibus

Germaine Williams AKA Can-I-Bus. Canibus is a true lyrical murderer, his vocabulary is what attracts many listeners he has talked a lot about how he has vocabulary which no one has. However, his vocabulary got him to the top in the mid 90's but these days the majority dislike him cause his lyrics are to extensive. His lyrics are what truly amaze everyone, he doesn't use any normal words that most artists do, he has the ability to go into and explain his own lyrics through his songs, which is quite complex, and time consuming.

Canibus hasn't been rappin' properly since the end of 2009 cause he believes that most people don't understand his lyrics; he's just been releasing few things, and it is true as many comments and votes say his vocabulary doesn't make sense.

Canibus has had beef with several artists, the main one being Eminem, even though Eminem is an amazing artist and all, but sometimes even the greatest get owned lyrically, check this track out by Canibus he's dissing Eminem - if your one of those listeners that don't give a shyt about the lyrics don't listen to this, cause his vocabulary is off the hook



Canibus has even been enlisted in the army in 2002 because he wanted to do somethin different than what he's been doin in his teens do give a little definition to his life. He's a true lyrical genius as he puts words together in such a complex way that its almost impossible to compete.
