Search - Blaq Poet :: Rewind Deja Screw

?Poet Has Come?, but he?s been here for a long time. Those who don?t know better do their homework and check their charts. In Hip Hop, he?s a veteran: ?I?ve always been rappin?, nahamean? The first time I came out was in eightyf**kin?six with Rockwell Noel on the single ?Beat You Down?, going at KRS One. He was tryin? to sh*t on the hood... Shan was playing around, not really trying to address the issue, I was like f*ck that, I?m reppin? the hood, I?m not Juice Crew?? Just after that, ?All Hell?s Breakin? Loose? (New-Sound Records) came out, a single produced by MC T where Poet calls out names and starts trouble way before 50 Cent would even think about it. In the early 90s, Louis Chandler aka Screwball gets killed on the block. Poet sends the biggest shout-out ever by creating the group Screwball, with partners KL, Kyron and Hostyle. ?He was my man, the only n**ger I knew that would ride for me, ride and die for me.? The first album, Y2K (Tommy Boy / Hydra), came out in 2000. The collaboration with DJ Premier begins with the production of two tracks for the album: ?F.A.Y.B.A.N? (F*ck All You B*tch Ass N**gers) and ?Seen It All.? In 2000, Poet also spit his unique flow on ?Straight Outta QB? (Columbia / Ill Will), along with Jungle and good friend Cormega. Not only is it normal for Poet to be on the album, it?s also normal that NAS gives him N.W.A?s legendary beat(?Straight Outta Compton?). In 2001, a second Screwball album comes out: ?Loyalty? (Landspeed /Hydra) where Poet describes his dramatic life in ?The Bio.? The realness of the lyrics is almost shocking. When other rappers complain about the cards they were dealt, Poet claims: ?I?ll be back like Schwarzenegger, Terminator, but for now, all I wanna do is get my weight up?. The fans were expecting this event for a while; here it is, 2006 will see the rise of Blaq Poet and his debut solo album ?Rewind
