He traded rhymes with his Yonkers brethren Jadakiss and Sheek Louch as The LOX, and his solo career saw a stacked catalog of 14 studio albums, 12 mixtapes, five collaborative projects and several hit records.<\/p>\n<p>If you ask him, Styles P is a rap juggernaut who is not afraid to put his bars up against anyone, as we saw during The LOX\u2019s dominating performance over Dipset in Verzuz in August. Styles has always said he\u2019s a student of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> and regularly sharpens his lyrical blade with every track he raps on, but there may be even more to his rap prowess than most people believe.<\/p>\n<p>During a conversation with <em>HipHopDX<\/em>, Styles P gave some insight behind his elite level of lyricism. According to the 47-year-old, a pair of Hip Hop legends had something to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what I was the first human being to do? This is why I might be the rap mutant,\u201d Styles said with a laugh. \u201cI was the first person to ever do this. I was blessed enough to be on the road with Rakim a lot and do shows. House of Blues L.A. Rakim is performing, and who does Rakim bring out to perform with him. Look this shit up, Rakim brings out KRS-One.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CWS7dbJFv9S\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CWS7dbJFv9S\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\">A post shared by Mrdavidstyles.com (@stylesp)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The rarity of KRS-One and Rakim performing on stage was unheard of back in the 80s as both rap legends were carving their own path in Hip Hop\u2019s golden era. Styles witnessed a true Hip Hop moment, and a real fan of the culture can\u2019t blame him for what he did next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey never been on the stage together before. Rakim and KRS are fucking ripping it down, it\u2019s crazy,\u201d Styles said. \u201cYou know what I did? I couldn\u2019t even help myself but I ran out and touched Rakim and KRS at the same time while they was performing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Styles continued, \u201cI\u2019m Professor X, are you kidding me?! I couldn\u2019t even contain myself, I ran out. Kid Capri said I was a smart n-gga for that one. This is crazy I touched Rakim and KRS, and it was like the powers just came through me. I was already nice, but that did something to me. I told you my secret. I let it out right here God damn it [laughs].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Styles P displayed those Hip Hop X-Men powers on DMX\u2019s 1998 posse cut \u201cBlackout\u201d featuring Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and JAY-Z. Fans have debated who had the best verse for quite some time and Styles P told <em>HipHopDX<\/em> who he thinks has bragging rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always go for me, but no \u2018Blackout?\u2019 Nah me,\u201d Styles P said. \u201cI think it\u2019s safe to say. You know what it is, if you want me to be honest, you know this. I be roasting shit, I ain\u2019t no sleeper dog. I\u2019m the guy who don\u2019t really say much, but look at my track record and look at what I\u2019m rhyming on.
