Once again, were here to talk to another one of hip-hops lyrical geniuses, Sadat X. In case youve been living under a rock for the last 15 years or so, Sadat X is the high-pitched, pro-black, ultra-lyrical emcee from New York who is a member of hip-hops classic collective known as Brand Nubian.
Sadat X debuted with Brand Nubian in 1989, along with two other members, Grand Puba and Lord Jamar, with the release of their single Brand Nubian. The singles album was later released in 1990 titled One For All. That particular album, along with others, was encouraged by the teachings of the Nation of Islam. One For All in many circles is considered to be one of the more classic albums from Brand Nubian, including 1993s In God We Trust.
Sadat X is widely known for his controversial lyrics with alleged homophobic content in Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down. His line, “I can freak, fly, flow, f*ck up a faggot/I dont understand their ways/I aint down with gays” stirred up much controversy. Sadat X hasnt stopped with Brand Nubian though. Hes continued on doing his solo thing and helping in his community. In 1996, he released his first solo album titled Wild Cowboys, which featured artists such as Pete Rock and Buckwild. Sadat Xs latest album, Generation X, is another in the long line of dope projects from this legendary emcee.
