OUT NOW DMX - Exodus

[Big Lurko]

Album didn’t do much for me. I mostly blame Swizz. Them 2003-04 beats don’t work in 2021. X definitely showed his age.

The Hood Blues track with Griselda saved this from being BP3 status.

Rest In Peace to the Dog.

And honestly DMX struggled on the track. Sounds like it was a griselda track that swizz decided to put X on last minute to appeal to todays generation.

 

[Big Lurko]

Walkin in the rain is by far best song on album. Im tempted to say take control is close second.

Lol @ Nas namedropping Akademiks

X should have started Hood Blues and let Con finish it

 

[silverfoxx]

Listening now not really feeling the audio quality.

Bath salts was clearly an older song that they lost all files to lol

 

[silverfoxx]

Am I the only one who thought X flow was too fast/excited for this song? Like he was hyped in the studio but they should have told him to slow down lol. Dope song though man.

This is clearly a DMX Duets type of project rather than a straight up album. So i dont expect cohesion or anything but Swizz has lost it to me. I know about his involvement with the Ruff Ryders rise but this coulda used Grease and P Killer as well.
Definitely should've had Grease on this, if they could've captured that 1st lp energy this would've been great

The LOX joint is my current favorite with Walkin In The Rain a close second. Letter To My Son hits hard with the loss of my own father. Overall a solid, if messy effort.

Bath salts was clearly an older song that they lost all files too lol

it Definitely lost some of its muster luster since that battle. They Definitely should've kept jada verse.
How many times swizz gonna use special delivery

 

[Chicity]

X left a lot on the table with that record to his son

 

[Infamous114]

I actually liked the track with Wayne. The X, Jay and Nas track is a disappointment. The first half of the album had too much Swizz. I was about to come in and say this album is trash till I got to the 2nd half of the album.

 

[Chicity]

Nas *new verse* and X got off on bath salts

I agree nas kinda went off on that joint. I kinda get why he didn't use it for life if good. But it's better than summer on smash.

TRASH

RIP X

Lol I think X's flow was a little off on alot of the album... Just seems like he didnt record to the beat at times, maybe his age was catching up to him or the beat(s) didnt suit him...

This shit sounds bad. Imma give a 4th listen. But this shit sounds bads. All these features ain't helping. He sounds like a 50 year old crackhead. Sliding around on and off beat, fighting against jaw muscle spasms throughout the verse.

A lot of these beats are garbage, so was the audio quality on almost all the mixes.

Shoutout to Swizz Beats one of the worst to ever be given the chance to do it. He fucking sucks.

tale of two albums
second half is much better than the first

bath salts may be the worst verse of jays career

 

[Ironman]

Hood Blues, Take Control, and Walking in the Rain should've been the vibe of the album. The 2nd half is way better than the first half.

That Hov verse was TURRIBLE ERNEH!

 

[Ironman]

Hood Blues is my shit too. I love how Conway approaches every verse like he's got something to prove. Nigga got some of the best verses and quoteables that I've heard in a minute.

There's a personal competition that's evolved between Con and Benny the past 2 years lol and he's making a point that he's the nicest one.

I heard Swizz cut that track up at least 3 times since it's inception. It was originally more of a Nas song he had 3 verses on it. It got reworked to death and here we are.

 

[Ghostface]

Besides jayz verse I don’t mind the beginning of the album. I think it goes downhill from money to that pointless stick up skit but picks back up with this Griselda collab. I do agree the album is much better from that song to the end.
