You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Looptroop Rockers''' is a [[hip hop music|hip hop]] group from [[Västerås]], [[Sweden]]. The members are [[rapper]]s [[Promoe]] (Mårten Edh), [[Supreme (Mathias Lundh-Isen)|Supreme]] (Mathias Lundh-Isen), [[DJ]]/[[Hip hop production|Producer]] [[Embee]] (Magnus Bergkvist) and [[Cosmic (rapper)|CosM.I.C]] (Tommy Isacsson). On their fourth album, Good Things,  the group changed its name from '''Looptroop''' to Looptroop Rockers, a name used unofficially for some years prior to the change.

==Biography==
Looptroop was formed in 1991 by [[Promoe]] and [[Embee]]. The two had met while attending school in [[Västerås]] and were still in their teens at the time of the group's inception. [[Cos.M.I.C]] joined shortly thereafter and in 1993 the group independently released their [[compact audio cassette|cassette]]-only debut [[Extended play|EP]] ''Superstars'', which was followed in 1995 by ''Threesicksteez''. By the time they released their third cassette, ''From The Wax Cabinet'' (1996), long-time associate and frequent collaborator [[Supreme (Mathias Lundh-Isen)|Supreme]] had become a permanent member of the group. It was in the pre-DVSG time when Promoe and Cos.M.I.C were also part of a group of graffiti writers called the "BIF" (Babylon Is Falling) crew in [[Västerås]].

In 1998, Looptroop started their own [[Recording label|record label]], David Vs. Goliath (commonly referred to as DVSG), and with distribution handled by the [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[punk rock]] label [[Burning Heart Records]] they released their full-length debut [[album]] ''Modern Day City Symphony'' in 2000. The album managed to sell reasonably well despite limited [[mass media|media]] exposure and spawned the underground hit single "Long Arm of the Law," which took a critical stance towards the Swedish [[police|police force]] and has since become one of Looptroop's [[signature song]]s.

In 2001, Promoe became the first member of the group to launch a solo career, with his debut [[solo album]], ''Government Music''. In 2002 Looptroop released their second album ''The Struggle Continues''.

Embee's solo album ''Tellings From Solitaria'' was released in 2004 and featured contributions from several notable Swedish artists, including [[José González (singer)|José González]], [[Timbuktu (artist)|Timbuktu]] and [[Daniel Lemma]]. The album was critically acclaimed and won a [[Grammis|Swedish Grammy Award]] for best hiphop/soul in 2004.

Their third full-length studio album, ''[[Fort Europa]]'', was released in 2005.  On the track "Fort Europa," the group takes a particularly critical tone towards their country's immigration policy.  In the video, an image of a TV screen reading "Welcome SWE" is smashed by a golf club as the beat drops.  In the first verse, Promoe compares immigration policy to the Berlin Wall.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCOVDdzrCU YouTube - looptroop - fort europa<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

On February 9, 2007 Cos.M.I.C announced that he was leaving the group indefinitely. He stated that there had been no falling-out between him and the rest of the group and mentioned that the group's busy schedule, which prevented him from spending time with his family, prompted this decision. Cos.M.I.C then contributed to two songs on the group's 2008 album "Good Things". After Cos.M.I.C left the group, they have also officially changed the group name from [[Looptroop]] to Looptroop Rockers!

Looptroop Rockers released their fourth album ''[[Good Things (Looptroop Rockers album)|Good Things]]'' on 23 April 2008. Cos.M.I.C is featured on one of the tracks on the album. 2008 was also the year that DVSG was celebrating its 10th anniversary. Looptroop Rockers worked with artists like Rakaa Iriscience of the [[Dilated Peoples]], [[CunninLynguists]], [[Timbuktu (artist)|Timbuktu]] and [[Adam Tensta]] for this album.

On 21 May 2010 Looptroop Rockers announced on their website that they were working on a new album.<ref name="looptrooprockers">[http://www.looptrooprockers.com/cosmics-back-in-looptroop/ website]</ref>  Promoe said it to be slated for a February 2011 release at a gig in Helsinki on May 19. On the same occasion it was announced that Cos.M.I.C. rejoined the group as a full member working on the new album.

In March 2011, the group released their fifth album "Professional Dreamers".

2013 saw the release of their first album in Swedish, "Mitt hjärta är en bomb". Made available on both CD and Vinyl LP.

In late October 2014, Looptroop Rockers released their album "Naked Swedes" on CD, LP and digital formats. It features guest appearances by [[Cunninglynguists]],  [[Seinabo Sey]] and Sabina Ddumba. [[Lord Finesse]] produced an exclusive remix for the first single from the album, "Another Love Song".

In 2017 Looptroop Rockers was inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame.

To celebrate 25 years as a band, Looptroop Rockers released 25 new songs in 25 weeks during 2017.
