About Onemanband

My account is based on a man who doesn’t really exist. His name is Onemanband but his real name is Matthew Jayward Ahmir Cullux. He was born and raised in the same neighborhood as Scarface (Houston, TX) and has arose to become one of the most underrated rappers of all time. He is often treated as an outcast by other well known artist mainly because he does not share the same views that they do. When he was very young is mother was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver and his father was a drug-dealer who was killed by gang lords. Because of these events, he has dedicated his life to speak out against the things that make our world so impure. Eventually he set his eyes on hip-hop and aspired to become a rapper to change the views of people who are fans of the music. He excludes money, sex, and drugs from his music and instead uses rap to fight mainstream hip-hop that is played on the radio. He has eight studio albums: (His bestselling album is Nova)
– Good for the Night (1997)
– Snitch (1999)
– The Beatdown: part 1 (2000)
– The Beatdown: part 2 (2001)
– Nova (2004)
– Me and my Homies (2005)
– Rehabilitation (2009)
– Supernova (2012)

"Don't do what I did
Or do what they did" (2x)
Don't smoke any smoke
Don't drink any drink
Cause that's all you'll ever be
And that's how you'll always think
"Don't do what I did
Or do what they did" (2x)
Don't put that weed in a bong
You'll have to smoke it all day long
Listen to your mentors
Especially when they tell you it's wrong Onemanband – Do What I Do 8

The lyrics in the hook have changed to express the changed feelings of the father figure. Instead of the kids telling him what he should do, he tells his son what he should not do.

This could be a reference to the theory of how Topac faked his death and that he will some day return into the spotlight.
