"Pharoahe Monch: (born Troy Donald Jamerson on October 31, 1972) is an American hip hop artist from Queens, NY. He is known for his complex delivery and multi-syllabic rhyme schemes... Pharoahe Monch's name is derived from the monkey doll Mon Chi Chi. After receiving a bad haircut, which left Monch looking like a "chimpanzee", girls in Monch's High School class began calling him "Mon Chi Chi", which was later shortened to "Monch"."-Wiki
I'm dedicating this first post to my man Pharoahe Monch. He's got a new album coming out June 26 called "Desire". I've dropped a link to the single for you here. Dude has got to be one of my favorite MC's. All of the Organized Konfusion (3 albums, 1. Self Titled, 2. Stress: The Extinction Agenda, 3. Equinox) stuff is classic and I can go back and listen to it now and it's still dope. But I think wiki put it best, there aren't many better than Pharoahe at the "complex delivery and multi-syllabic rhyme schemes". Not only does he have the illest style and delivery, but he's using his ability to make social and political comments, which to me is what it's all about. I've also posted a track that's kinda hard to find called "Book of Judges" which was released on the Marc Ecko's graffiti video game soundtrack in 2006. I really identify with that one, I hope you do too. The last track, "Love" is produced by Jay Dee and it's the first single from The Shining which was released last year. It's one of my favorite songs of last year, this year, and probably for a long time.

Rarrrrrgh!
You will now consider me the apocalyptic one
After this rhyme, henceforth, there is none
NO more will exist, when I emerge
From the mist in whence I was born into, scorned
Most of you can't even comprehend what I am saying
to you even in my human form the message I'm relaying
Why do you choose to mimic these wack MC's?
Why do you choose to listen to R&B?
Why must you believe somethin is fat
Just because it's played on the radio, 20 times per day?
My perception of poetical injection is ejactulation
The Immaculate Conception
The hall walker, who stalks bodies in Central Park
Soon emergency services'll outline that body in chalk
Then I begin to walk away and spit
Then when I walk away I talk shit!
Huh, a driver sprayed my face with mace
She didn't know that I enjoyed the taste of radioactive waste
When I'm in the backseat of your mid-town taxi
Don't even ask me for the cash G
The four cabs before didn't pick me up
Now ask yourself who the fuck's gonna stick me up
