About Me


BIOGRAPHY OF PHOREIGN-THREAT
...So yeah, I'm 17. I breathe. And enjoy complexity. I'm down-to-earth (strange, considering I'm an alien...aliens are fucking cool!) I completed my senior year in Universal School, a reprehensible private institution in Bridgeview, Illinois. I'm going to the University of Illinois in Chicago. Major: Computer Engineering, Minor: Graphic Design. I don't like pessimism, or superficiality. I piss in the mainstream you so willingly drink out of. Maybe I should see a doctor. My psychiatrist is inside my head. Some days I'm a thug. Other days I'm emo. I have English ettiquette when it comes to writing and speaking (fo' sho'). I'm Muslim. Palestinian/Jordanian. Psycho. My roommates are my parents. =) I rap. My companions and I have shared the stage with the likes of Capital D (of All Natural), Amir Sulaiman (of HBO's Def Poetry Jam), Brother Ali (of RhymeSayer's), Napolean (of 2-Pac's "Outlawz"), as well as opened for MC Lyte...Life is fun, and radient. 'Till around 8 p.m, then the gangsters come out.
Umm, other crap that interests me...Well, I enjoy skateboarding (I got the "poser" look held down pretty good)...I used to Graff-Write occasionally, I was horrendous. A train differs from a sheet of paper, I learned that through trial-and-error, blistered fingertips, and Wal-Mart restrooms (R.I.P B.O.T)...I'm into breakin', but my massive ass certainly does not break anything other than microphones and floors. It's amusing, if I growled a bit more, I'd pass off as a scary person...Um, I have an infatuation with organization, the arts, Japanese street culture, and exclusive sneakers. I'm also interested in fauxhawks.....Fauxhawks, and "Weapons of Mass Destruction"...They're reminscent of myself, actually...'cause I'm loud and cool and shit. And explosive, and rare, and quite obviously well-hidden, and soo darned demanding of attention...and, and, and.
AIM s/n: MCForeignThreat
Scheduled for release, the first Stone-Faced Grimmlens effort..."The Carefully Assembeled Mess of Complexity". I'm putting a lot of work into it, so buy it or else! Currently in the writing phase, but we have an ill line-up of features and a bit of everything.

Thank YOU for reading my bullshit, pal.

Music: I would have to say myself first (It's not arrogance.

Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him): To grasp the complexity of his legacy and intellect, you look past biased media nonsense and focus on how immensely great and modest this man was. He single handedly struggled against the people of his narrowminded tribe.....and used his mind, tongue, and his ability to function efficiently while being tortured, as he spread the message of Islam. He visited his own enemies when they were ill, and spared the lives of those he captured during combat. His influential, humble, powerful character will continue to effect mankind's moral obligation to establish peace, despite what the Western demoralization of humanity may try to coercively brainwash you with.

Most importantly...Almighty Allah's existence.
Sounds Like: I tend to be versatile, and alter my style up as much as possible...

When spitting fast, I try to link styles with the likes of Twista, Tonedeff, etc...

On a backpacker level, I seem to bare resemblance to a mixture of Slug, Eyedea, Carnage, and Tonedeff with the presence of Immortal Technique and consciousness of Common Sense!

When I freestlye, I bite Saleem's style because he cooler and older.

But overall, I sorta sound like Ashqar, the funky/husky suburban Arab backpack "nerd-rap" skateboard-enthusiast/Ex-graffhead with a unique sense of fashion and an infatuation with Green Tea and spending time in Hotel rooms.
Record Label: Nocturnal Lights.
Type of Label: Indie

The problem with Hip-Hop nowadays

...Well, a pretty big problem that we, as logical-thinking humans have is that we tend to generalize an immense amount of what we perceive. We have a very "THIS"-or-"THAT" psyche, which leads to point...
