Philadelphia, United States (1996 – present)
Jedi Mind Tricks (JMT) is a hip hop group formed in 1996 with two members from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and one from Camden, New Jersey. The group was founded by two high school friends rapper Vinnie Paz (Vincenzo Luvineri) and producer / DJ Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind (Kevin Baldwin). In 1999 the New Jersey rapper Jus Allah (James Bostick) joined the group to record the 2nd studio album by JMT, Violent by Design but left shortly after for reasons that remain unexplained.
The track “The Rebuilding” (2006) marked his unofficial return to JMT since the split, but made a full fledged return aside Vinnie Paz for the 6th studio album, A History of Violence (2008).
DJ Kwestion is also a part of the group, mainly scratching choruses on the turntable. Kwestion (or Kwes) is also a part of the group Skratch Makaniks. Kwestion was a replacement for JMT’s previous tour DJ, Drew Dollars, who is no longer affiliated with the group.
JMT has collaborations with both regional MCs and rap veterans, including GZA, Kool G Rap, 7L & Esoteric, Sean Price, Ras Kass, Canibus, Percee P, Killah Priest, Louis Logic, R.A. the Rugged Man, Tragedy Khadafi, and Ill Bill. The group has sold 250,000 albums in the United States and 300,000 albums worldwide, all of which were released independently.

Stoupe is to the Jedi Mind Tricks what Peyton Manning is to the Indianapolis Colts. The guy meant that much to JMT. Too bad he's gone.

Eh, disagree, but whatever. What's classic and not classic is really pretty subjective. Some people call Dre's 2001 a classic but I'd disagree there as well.

Stillmatic is good but classic? Uhh me no think so

I Am... Was not as good as Illmatic, not even close man, sorry. Stillmatic wasn't quite as good either, but it was still an easy classic, great album. In my opinion It Was Written is just about as good as Illmatic though.

@DopePhilosophy, see, Nas still made good albums after Illmatic. JMT has made a bunch of crap albums after VBD (seriously, the only 'good' songs that came off of their albums after VBD had guest features, because Vinnie couldn't fucking carry a song) and the last two albums they made were absolutely terrible. Unlistenable. Vinnie is a crappy MC now, before he was an average one. Jus is a garbage MC now, he used to be dope as fuck though. Stoupe is gone, and he was the last good member.

The jedi mind died when the verbal hologram did. Their new stuff is embarrassing and sounds like stuff from psychopatic records. They went from truly original and refreshing to just another "hardcore" rap-group which shouts propaganda in your face. Stoupes departure was the final blow. Fatass, islamic fundamentalist vinnie paz should just kill himself along with his other fundamentalist buddy jus allah. I find it unbelievable how this group wasted its enormous potential.

Feels bad that there will probably never be another album from them as great as Violent by Design. [2] I doubt there will ever be another album even a quarter as good as VBD tbh.
