Outlawz

"Now I was born alone, took my first joint and I got high alone Now I'm an Outlaw nigga, I never die alone Me and my niggaz is so close, it's complicated One nigga smokin and drinkin, and yet we all faded My nigga Edi had a son we all happy Cause now that little ridah got to deal with eight daddies My niggaz cry, we all cry, and all ride To rectify the problem, motherfuckers they all die"

Makaveli ( Tupac Shakur ): The founder and greatest MC of all time. He started the Outlawz in 1995, and since then it has become what I believe to be the greatest rap group of all time. Makaveli ( Tupac Shakur ) met his death in 1996, but there is still today (3 years later) a lot of unreleased work by Makaveli. Rest In Peace.

"Strapped and angry, with no hope and heartbroke Fightin first my trained brain until it's not so It's hostile, niggaz lick shots to watch the glocks glow Cadres of coppers patrol us like we some animals And it ain't no peace, my peace a piece on my streets to people beefin and things, squeakin on they beefs for weeks Mr. President, it's evident, nobody really care for a struggle out the gutter, twenty-two with gray hair"

Kastro (Katari Cox): He's Makaveli's cousin, and in my opinion one of the top MC's in the group, that's still alive. In '96 became an Outlaw, and featured on the track "When we ride", which was on Makaveli's next album 'All eyez on me'.

"War Time, it's either yourz or mine Outlawz be on a grind, and a mission to shine And ride on em', leave em' stuck and fucked from the gate Set it str8, regulate wit' a bomb I'm about to detonate"

E.D.I. (Malcolm Greenride): From New Jersey, there isn't much to say about this Outlaw. His lyrics speak mainly for him.

"Now in my world will it get worse When I been trapped since birth But I had to sleep in a hearse Cause it was my bed first My grands probably burnin' Turnin' in they grave Some folks ain't even get to see a high age"

Napolean (Mutah Beale): 100% Outlaw with a kid. His mother and father were killed. Then to make it worse, one of his brothers killed himself. Much respect must be given to this MC.

"I stay sharp as always Runnin ya bricks with blitz, through ya project hallways Dumpin crews like two's, nigga all day Secrets of war prepare me for the worst A life that's lavish full of cabbage or a life that's in a hearse But now my dreams it seeems though, be placin triple beams and things bro Diamond pinkie ring got the loot poppin out my jeans"

Hussein Fatal (Bruce Washington): Currently serving time in a Trenton, NJ prison for assault. The only member who was there when it first began, that's still alive. He dropped his own album in '98 titled 'In the line of fire', and maybe have another album drop sometime in the future.

I do my shootin's on a knob, prayin to God for my squad Stuck in a nightmare, hopin he might care Though times is hard, up against all odds, I play my cards like I'm jailin, shots hittin up my spot like midnight rains hailin Got me bailin to stacks more green; Gods ain't tryin to be trapped on no block slangin no rocks like bean pies Brainstorm on the beginnin Wonder how shit like the Qu'ran and the Bible was written What is religion?

Kadafi (Yafeu Fula): One of the 3 starters, some think he was the best, next to Makaveli. However, just two months after Makaveli's death, Kadafi was also shot and killed. In has nothing to do with Makaveli's murder, but some think so. Rest in peace.

"Outlawz we got our own race, culture, religion Rebellion against the system, commence to lynchin The President ain't even listenin to the pain of the youth We make music for eternity, forever the truth Political prisoner, the two choices that they givin us Ride or die" life they sentence us.

Young Noble (Rufus Cooper III): One of the last Outlawz to be added to the group before the death of Makaveli, everyone can tell when Noble takes the mic. He helped work on 4 songs for Makaveli's album 'The 7 Day Theory'.

"Who's got the heart to stand beside me? I feel my enemies creepin up in silence Dark prayer, scream violence - demons all around me Can't even bend my knees just a lost cloud; Black Jesus give me" reason to survive, in this earthly hell.

Storm: The only female in the group, and the last to come on before Makaveli's death. But don't think just because she's a female she does carry her fair share.

"Why I'm like this? Look at the world in the face and spit What the fuck provoked me to write this? Lookin at my gun thinkin "this it" cuz this bitch done took my son, thinkin he an object"

Gonzoe (Ronald Moore): Came in after Makaveli's death. He has been in many other groups in the past, and has his own record titled 'If I live and nothing happens'.
