Paz was born in Sicily, Italy, where he lived for a short time before moving with his family to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is of Sicilian/Italian heritage. He has both Italian and American citizenship. Paz originally started rapping with fellow Jedi Mind Tricks member Stoupe in his basement.
In 1996, Paz released the Amber Probe EP. This was the debut EP from the duo and it was released in 1996. It featured guest appearance from The Lost Children of Babylon. It was in 1997, Jedi Mind Tricks released their debut album; The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness (often abbreviated as The Psycho-Social CD). The group only consisted of Paz and Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind at this time and featured Apathy, Jus Allah, and Black Thought.
He released his first solo album, Season of the Assassin in 2010. This was 18 years after Paz had originally started rapping. He released his second album God of the Serengeti in October 2012. In 2013, Paz confirmed that he was working with Army of the Pharaohs to release In Death Reborn, which was released in 2014. October 22, 2013 marked the release date of his second EP, Carry On Tradition. Paz's third solo LP, The Cornerstone of the Corner Store, was released on October 28, 2016. He released his fourth solo album, The Pain Collector, in September 2018. Subsequently, his newest solo album titled As Above so Below was released in February, 2020.
Paz owns an independent record label, Enemy Soil.
Paz is known for his raw and gritty lyrical delivery. His lyrics frequently contain references to religion, war, politics, mythology, conspiracy theories, and the paranormal. His more recent albums such as Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell show a more obvious approach to politics and world issues. This gritty style of Paz became apparent with the release of Violent by Design, and has become progressively more defined since its release.
Raised Catholic, Paz is now a Muslim, which plays a major role in much of his lyrics, often controversially, as on "Heavenly Divine", where he rapped "I'm with Allah 'cause he chose me, I broke into the Vatican, strangled The Pope with his rosary." Paz is also a heavy metal fan, and occasionally uses song titles and band names in JMT tracks and lyrics.
Paz has a number of aliases, such as: "Ikon the Verbal Hologram", "Louie Doggs", "Boxcutter Pazzy", "Pack Pistol Pazzy", "Hologram", "Paz", "Vinnie P", "The Pazmanian Devil", Odrama Vin Laden", "Ikon the Python", and "Pazienza".
Bully
Vinnie Paz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doing business with you, papa
Yo, Kato, what's up?
Yo, Mr benton, when you come to Philly
I got the AR-15s
The M4A1 carbines, the Barrett REC7s
The Bushmasters
The Floro PDWs, the Robinson Armament XCRs
I'm a gun motherfucker
This is how we gon' get
Down though right now
Your liver taste exquisite with Chianti
The uppercut is so vicious that
It could lift a donkey
I pop pills and cop kill, divisions haunt me
Kill him, then bring him back to life
And forgive a zombie
Load the shotty up and hit
Him in the prison lobby
The closest thing you got to
Pussy is doing bitches laundry
You's a sucker
Motherfucker and that should alarm me
You ain't carrying hammers
You a fictitious army
Y'all make Drake look hard body
That shit appall me
And my money astronomical like Dennis Garvey
Unless you want your fucking head shattered
Get up off me
I'm about to break fool on you
Catch a homi'
Pull the motherfucking biscuit out
And catch a body
Italian luxury and I ain't talking Maserati
The fist hit you dead in the chest
The kamikaze
The flying monkey is Ozbourne like I was Ozzy
Boxcutter Pazzy yo, Mr benton
Kato, what up?
Yeah, all I need is one mic
Three syringes and two rocks
I rap like I got Pac's dead
Corpse in a shoe box i'm a retard
Jarren stay on that stupid shit
So disrespectful I slap Christ
Off the crucifix
I go to your funeral and punch the eulogist
Papa used to tell me that
Rapping ain't fucking lucrative
That's foolishness dad, you sound ludicrous
Fuck your opinion, goddamn it
We 'bout to do this shit
Boxcutter hooligan
Look what this blade'll do to him
Fuck a fifth of Henny
I could chug a whole pool of Gin
Kill him then I stand over his
Body then I shoot again fuck coke
Get high off of pesticides and fumigants
I'm an animal
I grew up in the pit's of hell
I'm strong enough to punch through the
Ocean and fucking kill a whale
Scalpels and all sorts of assortments
Bitch, I'm a pimp
I can sell shit to a toilet
So scram with your faggot ass
Don't make me let the semi blast
Fuck a gun, don't make me pop the trunk
And pull out Vinnie Paz y'all some homos
Rappers talking 'bout fanny bags
Keep the conversation brief
But we ain't talking clinic ash
Just read a shitty comment
Now my day is ruined
You 'bout as gay as a B2K reunion
I'm an innovator
Give a shit what they were doing
Rotting flesh pollutes my back yard
So now my neighbors moving
Adidas on my feet, it's never Reeboks
Hopsin say he dropping his
Album right after Detox
I'm into bestiality
Getting head from an Ewok
You niggas got it fucked up like
A blood trying to C-walk
I throw you off a tree top
In a Chevy bumping Pete Rock
Bitch, I'm off the wall just
Like fucked up Sheetrock
Doctor Lecter, I eat you, rappers get Ethered
Been the shit since papa skeeted
Me out his urethra, bitch
