In His Prime Series, Vol.2. How Good Was...DMX?

[Revolver Ocelot]

Like this was crazy when it happened...

No it wasn't.

Pac did it 2 years earlier.

 

[Duwop]

No it wasn't.

Pac did it 2 years earlier.

Word cuz pac was just a everyday mc with absolutely no hype....

Two platinum albums was just normal shit back then

 

[Mr.LV]

At that time he was the best and brought that gritty New York sound back and ended the shiny suit era

 

[Chi-Town B]

He came at the right time, rap had gotten soft.

X wasn't no "everyday MC w/ no hype"

Niggas was anticipating his shit cuz of 4,3,2,1, Money,Power,Respect, and Shut Em Down

You made it sound like going plat in the same year was no big thing cuz pac did it too....

I know x hype was crazy at the time... As was pacs when he did it. My point was at the time they did it, that was something that was amazing and they both delivered.... Maybe you missed the sarcasm

In his prime definitely top 5, then I feel like they took what were "fan favorites" on the first album and made that his whole next album, and then on. His intricate shit became very churchy wit weaker production and his "ruff Ryder anthem esq" shit, got better production. He kept tryna hit singles outta the park and made less overall good product.

But his features on 4321, shut em down, money power respect, 24 hours to live, and countless other shits was the best feature run I've ever seen.

It's dark and hell is hot is a top 10 album

The worst thing is Def Jam owns all his masters and he had to re record so he can get paid off his greatest hits. Fuck record labels and their shitty deals, vultures...



:cry:

 

[genocide_cutter]

Top ten

:cry:

Lol so is that why this shitty version exist? Lmaoo yo i never knew what the fuck this was.

 

[Gemini Til Infinity]

I'm a cruddy nigga, running raw dawg in dirty bitches,
And if I get burnt, I'm giving that shit to 30 bitches

This makes me think about that white boy that allegedly gave all those black women AIDS.

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

There was a time when his music all i would listen to day & nite

Same here...you couldn't put another rapper X to me. He fell off after the third album.

 

[AZTG]

His run during his prime is probably the best run ever.

I voted top 5 though but im basing my vote strictly on lyrics. And this aint no disrespect. Being top 5 during that era is crazy good.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

DMX could have been the best ever if he had the desire to be.

 

[grYmes]

That period of late ‘98 through 2000 belonged to DMX.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

It seem like w/ a lot of artist, some of their biggest/iconic songs are always the last song they recorded for the album or they didn't wanna do it or something.

Shits crazy.
