In 2003 Pharoahe released his final single through Rawkus Records, "Agent Orange", a war inspired song which revisited the 1991 Organized Konfusion track "Releasing Hypnotical Gases". He also provided vocals on the track "Last Dayz" on the 2001 Adam F Album Kaos: The Anti-Acoustic Warfare and remixes of the track on the follow-up Drum & Bass Warfare, released the following year. He contributed the song "Fuck You" to the Training Day soundtrack in 2001, and rapped the theme song to Madden NFL 2002. In 2000, he collaborated with Mos Def and Nate Dogg on the hit song " Oh No" from the Rawkus compilation record Lyricist Lounge 2. This resulted in a halting in his album's distribution.įollowing the controversy, Pharoahe would not release another solo project for several years, but still released some songs and had guest appearances. Despite its success, the song caused controversy when Monch was later sued for its unauthorized use of a sample from Akira Ifukube's Gojira Tai Mosura, the theme song to the 1992 film Godzilla vs. The first single of the album, " Simon Says", became a hit single, peaking at No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100. After making several guest appearances on albums like the best-selling Rawkus compilation Soundbombing II, Monch's much-hyped debut, Internal Affairs was released in 1999. Pharoahe Monch then signed to Rawkus Records, an indie label. Prince Poetry has since denied the possibility of an Organized Konfusion reunion. As a result, the duo split up after recording their final album The Equinox in 1997. All albums received positive critical reviews, but moderate sales. The duo handled a large amount of production on these albums themselves. Monch released three albums as part of the rap duo Organized Konfusion with partner Prince Poetry: The self-titled Organized Konfusion, Stress: The Extinction Agenda and The Equinox.
