  Bacdafucup - Onyx - Similar Albums
Onyx, though, seemed far more threateningly hardcore than Run DMC ever were, and each song on their debut album seems like a quick-triggered, menacing chip set squarely on the shoulders of MCs Big DS, Suavé, Fredro, and Sticky Fingaz.
The grimy urban vibe is matched by Onyx's narrative thuggery, discharged straight from the streets like pumped-up news dispatches and predating the roughneck rap trend by several years.
True, the trailblazing rap crew hardly abandoned hip-hop on their second album, but they did follow through on the blueprint of their debut, emphasizing the rock leanings that formed the subtext of Run-D.M.C. Nearly every cut surges forward on thundering drum machines and simple...

  Onyx (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Onyx is a hardcore hip-hop group from Queens, New York.
Originally formed in 1989 by Fredro Starr, Sonee Seeza and Big DS, the group later added Sticky Fingaz (Starr's cousin), and subsequently produced the "Throw Ya Gunz" EP in 1993.

Onyx first hit the Hip-Hop scene in 1993 with singles like "Throw Ya Guns" and "Slam," which earned them a Soul Train Award for best rap album that same year.
Thirteen years later, the new crew of youngsters--Khaos, 18; Khaos' cousin Skitso, 19; M.I., 16; and Primo Starr, 19--assembled to re-create themselves in the image of their predecessors.
Their musical style, described as gritty, grimy, and "strictly for the streets" is not only a reflection of former Onyx members, but also of present-day artists such as Sticky Fingaz, whom the group looks up to.

 Mark Goldblatt on Hip Hop on National Review Online
When I first approached my literary agent with the idea of a satirical novel, she shrugged; when I told her the topic was hip hop, she begged me not to write it.
And their artistic leaders, with no exceptions whatsoever, have turned from themes of the persistence and universality of human nature, even in the face of prolonged oppression, to a fetishistic worship of the idea of "flness" — a connotation for which there is, in reality, no coherent denotation.
Not the bubblegum hip hop of, say, Will Smith or MC Hammer — whose crossover success immediately undermined their credibility among the genre's purists.

All the hip hop history contained on these tracks and all that trivia aside, the record is still up there as one of our favorites from the class of '85.
The three tracks here all share those characteristics, with the hip hop elements shining more brightly on "Life Is Beautiful" and "Reeewind", and much more of a electro pop vibe on "Miss You".
Both tracks have that late 90s indie hip hop sound, like a lot of the early Rawkus releases, which figures, since the a-side features L. Fudge, Tru Persona and Mike Zoot and the b-side is produced by DJ Spinna with assistance from Shawn J Period.

Back in 1990, when I made my first trip to Japan, I was very surprised to find RUN-DMC styled fans with the leather and gold teeth, chillin` with their crew.
The club was small as a mutherfucka, with people piled on top of each other dancing until 8, 9, 10 in the morning.
Other groups such as ZOO, CRAZY A, and DEER have also been the pioneers for what is now a very healthy, if not somewhat repititious and unoriginal dance scene.

With all four members of YUNG ONYX having the same zodiac signs as their predecessors, it's no wonder that these young protege's from Queen's NY are able to bring the same high volume energy and raw lyrical talent that earned ONYX a Multi-Platinum title.
With their debut album Bacdufucup selling over two million copies, ONYX came on the scene and took the industry by storm with such hits as " Bacdufucup"," Throw Ya Gunz" and the hit song" Slam" all which ultimately led ONYX to receiving that year's Soul Train Music award for "Best Rap Album".
