DMX Passes Away (RIP Earl "DMX" Simmons, Long Live X)

[grYmes]

I knew that shit was a lie. HipHipDX & Vlad are not credible news sources for something this serious.

 

[NorthfolkBros]

so what I heard was somebody laced his weed with crack back in the day, and that got him addicted to it??? That's some fucked up shit

 

[SeaSnake]

Nah but the mocking of his sickle cell is kinda foul if you his friend.

There was a big thing about Pusha dissing 40s MS

But people just laugh at pac talking about Ps sickle cell

that was in 1996. Before people became politically correct

Introduced him to rap too if I'm understanding it right. Blessing and a curse.

That verse killed Canibus's career.It's widely called one of the best verses ever.

That verse didnt kill anyone s career. Lyor Cohen and Def Jam protecting their investment killed Canibus career and then the battle against Dizaster resurrected it and killed it again for good lol

 

[Norrin_Radd]

I liked Canibus' sophomore album musically, but he never got that push from the industry he got before that LL beef.

Wyclef stopped fucking with him in the midst of all that shit.

Yes he has gone on to make many projects his fanbase likes and have an indie presence but that shit derailed him.

Canibus was getting a major mainstream push for an underground lyricist type.

I wouldn’t say it was the 4321 verse that did it because he snapped back with 2nd round ko. The 99% of your fans don’t exist is what did him in

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

NYPost is lame. They made a article about the houses DMX lost during his rap career... wow

Seen that...didnt even click on it. Horrible timing and pathetic journalism. Why dont they do an article on his upbringing and the role that poverty, mental health issues and growing up in a single parent home had on his substance use disorder as an adult. But nah, let's focus on his lost real estate SMDH

Nah I'm talking till this day

Never does that shit get brung up but 40s ms do

When we talking about foul shit in disses

 

[Greg.nice]

canibus dropping a trash ass album when he had the world watchin n waiting killed his career

back to X

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

LL pulled a punk move on Canibus if we all bein' real.

DMX killed that shit

Meth&Red who were on the song both said LL over reacted and made a big deal outta nothing. Then Def Jam got involved and basically blackballed Canibus. Then LL recorded a phone convo w Canibus basically coppin pleas bc he knew the battle was killing his career and bag. Recorded phone call got released to further kill the guy. Song wise, Canibus won that battle. Nothing LL released was anywhere close to 2nd Rd KO. But LL won the bigger battle, but that had more to do w Def Jam than w the actual music that was released

That song is trash to me

2nd rd knockout was way better

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

That song is trash to me

2nd rd knockout was way better

2nd RD KO on the low might be one of the best disses of all time. Had Canibus career not gon in the toilet, it would be brought up more. But anytime niggas bring up the diss, someone bring up his wack album or his arm in a sling against Dizaster lol

 

[Norrin_Radd]

That song is trash to me

2nd rd knockout was way better

I agree I’m saying it still did him in in the eyes of the general public who don’t really know hip hop just what’s popular

 

[Suckio Andretti]

lol guys...make a separate thread

you don’t have to be in here if there’s no new news

 

[Norrin_Radd]

Anyways enough derailment. Back to X!

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Anyways enough derailment. Back to X!

I'm done lol...back to X. We can discuss LL n Canibus elsewhere

 

[Loch121]

X is a top 5 performers on stage for sure.

 

[Norrin_Radd]

This nigga commanded a a whole sea of muthafuckas! Emcee for real! One of the greatest to ever do it!


here’s his full set

 

[Freshb651]

Nah Canibus was being slick and there was some extra bars on the original version where I always thought Canibus was throwing darts at LL.

Then that verse caused the beef between Eminem and Bis because Canibus' heard Eminem wrote it or helped write it but he didn't.

Dmx' s verse is hard though.

"Yo Meth where the Gods at ?/ Red where the squad at ?/ yo L is that a mic on your arm ? Lemme borrow that" I don't think Bis was being slick.
