Paris (Rapper)Paris (real name Oscar Jackson, Jr.; born October 29, 1967 in Illinois) is a hip hop artist from San Francisco known for his militantly confrontational rapping, and especially the controversial track "Bush Killa." After earning a degree in economics from University of California-Davis, Paris founded Scarface Records but released his first single with Tommy Boy Records. The Devil Made Me Do It was his critically acclaimed debut 1990 LP; the title track was banned by MTV. Paris' 1992 follow-up, Sleeping With the Enemy, was not released due to the anti-George H. W. Bush track "Bush Killa." Unable to find a distributor, Paris released it on Scarface and the album was a critical success though sales were slim. Guerrilla Funk (1994, 1994 in music) was similarly unpopular, as was the follow-up, Unleashed, which drew cries of selling out with its G funk sound and gangsta rap lyrics. His most recent album is Sonic Jihad and continues his record of controversial album covers: it depicts plane flying into the White House. Discography External links Paris (rapper)
