Gröûp X(their prefered spelling) is a colorful musical group that has dubbed itself “
Arabian rap sensations.” Gröûp X has attained a strong cult following in the last few years because of their unique style. Gröûp X draws upon the same factors that have made the
Mahir Cagri and
All Your Base Are Belong To Us fads so popular. These factors include ridiculously
broken english and a healthy dose of
zany rhymes. The group claims to be made up of three thirty-year-old
Arabian men who came to the
United States to "do the
sex with ladies and play
hip-hop after we are done at the
7-11." Yet, despite their denials and fake speech impediments, they are really just three
white guys from the
suburbs of
Atlanta,
Georgia.
The stage names of the Gröûp X members:
“
Hashmeer” Shashmeer -
vocals
“
Blade” aka
DJ Pattiecake -
bass, mixing, back-up vocals
“
Rex” aka
DJ Rocksolid -
mixing,
drums
Their first
album release was entitled
40 oz. Slushie but it is no longer in circulation and there are only about ten left. Luckily, all the songs from
40 oz. Slushie "are new and better-ed versions" on Gröûp X’s second and latest release,
Stepping On The Crowtche Of Your Americain Presidente. The
cover art of this
album shows a smiling
child donning a
scarf and
AK-47 in front of a picture of the
White House.

For those looking to
sample the best of Gröûp X, I would suggest checking out “
Bang Bang Bang”, “
You Would Give Me Kiss If If I Were On Soccer Team”, “
Mario Twins”(
human beatbox version of
Mario Bros. NES game), and
Down't Touch That(parody of “
Can’t touch this”) first. I really can’t explain all that is Gröûp X, you’ve got to
experience it first hand. Gröûp X is currently on a record label named
Equidistant.
