Vincenzo Luvineri (born October 5, 1977), better known as Vinnie Paz, is a … Read Full Bio ↴Vincenzo Luvineri (born October 5, 1977), better known as Vinnie Paz, is a Sicilian American rapper and the lyricist behind the Philadelphia underground hip-hop group Jedi Mind Tricks. He is also the frontman of the hip hop collective Army of the Pharaohs.
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".

Not Again
Vinnie Paz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Diabolic
Ahhh ha ha haaaa...
Diabolic / Vinnie Paz
Foul Play bitch!
[Verse 1 - Diabolic:]
I got Pope John Paul in his casket turnin',
When I’m at a catholic sermon, smashed with a flask of bourbon,
Dashing in a black suburban, passing, swervin',
Crash n' burnin', like attacks from Iraq insurgents,
But now I’m back determined to have some virgins,
Taking face shots like Botox, I’m a plastic surgeon,
Not your average person, coz' this cash I’m earnin',
Got me riding dirty like the mastered version of my tracks with cursing,
The illest cat for certain, too perverted to mention,
In a class by myself like internal suspension,
I'm terminal spreadin' through you're chest and ribs,
Till the song’s stuck in ya’ head and gives you less than a month left to live,
Infect the kids, I love to poison minds,
Got hoes bending over backwards like double jointed spines,
I’m at the point in time where I don’t give a flying fuck,
And if I get fired up you get you're jaw wired shut,
And it's....
[Hook - Diabolic:]
Mic check, one, two, we back on the block again,
Body in the trunk, somebody’s gettin' shot again,
Fist full of haze, stomach full of Heineken,
My bitch put the radio on, "No not again!"
We want that real shit, somethin’ i can feel shit,
You know the gutter shit, fuck all that other shit,
That go to war shit, kickin’ in the door shit,
Diabolic, Vinnie Paz; yeah that raw shit.
[Verse 2 - Vinnie Paz:]
Ayo D, you the foulest muthafucka around,
Anyone who got a beef with us get stuck with the pound,
That’s regardless if they hate us or fuck with the sound,
And regardless if they're ravers or they come from up-town,
I don't care who get stuck, black, white, Spanish, anybody,
My weaponry a left buck and a mini shottie,
I don't discriminate, Pazienza blazin' people,
I kill you're dog and eat him up like i was Asian people,
Me and Diabolic similar to haze and diesel,
It's straight to the head and stick inside the veins of people,
And Pazienza too intelligent, my brain'll eat you,
My bitch stay strapped, even Vinnie’s dame is lethal,
I did a little bid for taking fuckin change from people,
But Diabolic did the muthafuckin same, we equal,
That's why people call the two of us insanely evil,
And that's why people call the two of us insanely evil.
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - Vinnie Paz:]
I scream "Allahu Akbar, murder murder, kill kill"
In the same sentence that's why I'm incredibly ill,
We better rebuild, and put the muthafuckin pope in prison, (hahahaa)
For practicing remote control socialism,
But i aint mean to get political on this shit,
So give me a forty-ouncer, pass the muthafuckin' buscuit
And do some type of shit i did that i don't wan' re-visit,
You better tell the c-cypha that they gone need ballistics.
[Verse 4 - Diabolic:]
So keep you distance, coz' me and Vinnie, we the sickest,
We'll make you sleep with fishes like tsunamis from the East Pacific,
I keep a spliff lit, guzzling this Belvedere,
Chase it with a twelve of beer, and heaven fell, hell is here,
Hell yeah i smell you're fear, and I'm you're fearless leader,
With lyrics deeper than the crater left in Hiroshima,
So if you love hip-hop but saw the spirit leave ya,
Me and Vinnie thought we'd bring it back here to see'ya!

The lyrics of the song Not Again by Vinnie Paz featuring Diabolic are dark and aggressive, with violent imagery and profanity. The song talks about the two rappers' determination to be the most provocative and aggressive in the game, using shock tactics to get attention. The first verse by Diabolic is particularly brutal, starting with a reference to desecrating the coffin of Pope John Paul, and going on to talk about crashing and burning like an Iraqi insurgent. He boasts about his sexual exploits and how he infects the minds of the youth with his poison. He doesn't care who he hurts or offends, he's in it for himself and the money he earns. Vinnie Paz's verse is equally confrontational, declaring that anyone who crosses him will get shot, regardless of their race or background. He raps about taking people's change and going to prison for it, but he's unrepentant and fearless. He shouts out Allahu Akbar, making a political point about the Pope's remote control socialism, but then retreats into more personal, hedonistic imagery.
The lyrics of Not Again reveal the darker side of rap music, where the artists try to outdo each other with extreme language and behavior, and where there is little or no concern for the consequences of their actions. The song reflects the nihilistic and violent themes that are common in hip hop, and which have been criticized by some for promoting negative stereotypes and values. At the same time, the song is a testament to the artistry and skill of the rappers, who are able to create vivid and compelling imagery with their words.

one of the best albums lyrically, PERIOD.
Ecstatically Extreme
Definitely equal but my personal nod goes to paz simply because I have been a fan for almost 20 years and I resonate with the heart and passion he puts into his songs. Diabolic never disappoints either love. Love the new Diabolic Grind mode cypher!

I remember going to Diabolics crib one time for the superbowl back in like 96-97 I used to go by the name Serpent.. I was like 14 rapping but I was the youngest in the group we had put together.. Diabolic passed me my 1st Blunt ever.. And I had tried to smoke joints before but it was always a waste / never worked.. But that day I had officially gotten I had officially gotten high AF.
