Even though Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Afrika Bambaataa and some of the various other hip-hop pioneers were striking the recording studios in the 1980s, a new hip-hop artist begun to appear. Hip-hop was crossing boundaries, producing appearances in new wave and punk songs. Both Blondie's "Rapture" and The Clash's "The Magnificent Seven" included hip-hop stylings. Run-D.M.C. melded rap with hard rock. Musicians like LL Cool J, Whodini, and The Beastie Boys developed a variety of hip-hop songs.
With credits heading back over a decade with Ludacris, Fabolous and Memphis Bleek, Omen has had a great year with Drake. By no means is Sid "Omen" Brown a fresh face to the Gangster Rap scene. From linking up with musicians such as Fabolous and Memphis Bleek into their earlier days to nabbing a Grammy in 2007 working on Ludacris' album Release Therapy to joining Drake on his flourishing career path, the Harlem-based producer has created his rounds and then some. Still, Omen continues to keep his pulse on the artists of tomorrow as evidenced by his partnerships with Diggy Simmons, XV, and Vado.
Along with his wide range of relationships, Omen has his sights set on developing a musical business with the aid of his new production company Elaborate Musik Orchestra (EMO) and a prospective line-up of musicians which should stay relevant for years to come. Omen recently spoke with DXnext about meeting Noah "40" Shebib and Drake, producing "I'm Single" for Lil Wayne and "Shut It Down" for Drake's platinum-selling album Thank Me Later, and his delayed debut album You Be the Judge. The reality is, the jury's out; Omen is a monster on the MPC.
Some time before she nabbed 5 Grammys for her debut, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Ms. Hill had been in argument for the throne. As one-third of 90s super group, Fugees, L'Boogie quickly set up herself as the focus of the crew. By seamlessly mixing jaw-dropping lyricism with social commentary, she helped make The Score the magnum opus of Fugees' catalog and, more importantly, a professional hip-hop classic. On Miseducation, Lauryn revealed the best fusion of hip-hop and R&B of the last decade. Her good songwriting excelled from song to song, whether grappling with spirituality ("Final Hour," "Forgive Them, Father") or stroking sexuality without exploiting it ("Nothing Even Matters"). Like Lyte and Latifah before her, Lauryn lights without drawing unnecessary attention to her sexual atmosphere.
If you ask hip-hop supporters who the greatest male new hip hop artist in recent history is, you're most likely to get about 20 to 25 different reactions. Now, switch the question to "Who's the best female rapper of all time?" and, alas, you're most probably to wind up with the same answer 9 out of 10 times: MC Lyte. With gems like "I Cram to Understand U (Sam)" and "10% Dis" from her 1988 debut, Lyte As a Rock, MC Lyte altered hip-hop's belief of femcees without having changing her outfit. Instead, she cloaked herself in dignity and integrity. And did to say that she could run circles around many of her male counterparts with her take-your-hats-off wordplay? Lyte's creativity, sleek flow, substance-packed content, and impeccable delivery, make her the undeniable queen of rap music.
