When many think of DMX they think of his dog barking and growling, RR, and his ‘in your face’ style. He is one of tha realest ever in Hip-Hop. He is never fake, never lies, and always 100. Nas has even stated that he thinks X is tha realest ever. With DMX, what you see is what you get, and what you hear is what you get. His lyrics speak for everything he is. He doesn’t fake, doesn’t front, and doesn’t lie. He is one of tha most energetic over a beat. Along side Busta, I think they have tha most energy on a beat. X can do damn near any style of Hip-Hop. He is known for his street style and street lyrics. Songs like Get It On The Floor..Tha hooks seems like it will be club style, but then X comes in with some crazy ass verses and your like damn! Swizz is singing a hook about ‘Gettin It On Tha Floor’, dancing, freaking, riding..Then D comes with some dark, crazy, intense shit. He keeps it real on that track. Explains how he is tha realest, who he is, and how he does. He always does it his style no matter what anyone says, and makes me have much respect for him. He is tha definetion of tha word real. Him and 2Pac are, in my eyes, tha most in your face, real, true, up front emcees ever. They are very similar with their styles. One of tha best things about X is he doesn’t speak on jewelry, clothes, clubs, and all that fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen him say in interviews how what he does is spend time with family, his dogs, ride fourwheelers, hang with his friend, and that shows how he is laid back and real. He doesn’t wear all kinds of chains, ride big ass rims, buy all kinds of pointless bullshit, and go to clubs..So you don’t hear him spit about that, he spits about what he does. And if you did not know, DMX’s first 5 albums all debuted at #1 on tha Billboard Charts. He is tha only artist to have 5 albums debut at #1 in a row! And besides that he is one of tha best selling rap artists of all time, selling over 20 Million. And X is a great actor. He was in movies such as Never Die Alone, Romeo Must Die, Last Hour, and Belly-along side Nas. Beast is set to be tha sequal to Belly. He is set to be in a few movies that will be coming out. He has a gospel style album coming out called “Walk With Me Now And You’ll Fly With Me Later” He has a great ability when it comes to gospel style songs. That ability shows in songs like I Miss You, which is for his passed grandmother. That song is just amazing, if you have not heard it go listen. And Lord Give Me A Sign is another great gospel song by X. Slippin is one of his deepest and best song, it is widely considered his best. But in my opinion DMX’s greatest song is and always will be Let Me Fly. That song is from his first album “Its Dark And Hell Is Hot” There is just a special thing about that song that words can’t explain. Tha lyrics just flow together perfect, chorus is perfect, overall tha song is great. That song sums up DMX in four minutes. And another song that could be his best is Look Thru My Eyes, which is also from “Its Dark And Hell Is Hot” That song is great. He is one of tha darkest emcees ever. Songs like The Professional prove that. He has dark, scary lyrics that most have to respect. He is just a natural emcee. If you haven’t heard tha song More 2 A Song, check it out. That songs shows DMX’s view on tha game, tha rappers, and tha industry. Tha hook tell it all, but tha verses explain it so much better. And in tha last verse he says: “I will be tha voice of tha streets till I die, cuz I know if I keep my heart real I will fly, ‘Evil let me fly or give me death’ if you didn’t catch it then, get it now cuz its all thats left” That explains X, his style, and his career within a few seconds. Tha part I have in ‘ ‘ those little quotes, is him referring back to Let Me Fly, and if you didn’t get it then, get it now. One thing about DMX that is widely know is his views on tha industry. He was at a safe home with his label, and they just left, soldout and left him there alone. He explains very quickly in a video that can be seen all over tha internet how he feels on tha industry. And his style of barking & growling, ain’t no other dude gonna do that or done that. He is one of a kind, he is a legend in Hip-Hop. And his beef with Ja Rule, he tore that mutha fucker apart. I don’t see how Ja still thinks he is respected in rap. After DMX, Eminem, 50, Obie, and so many more tear you apart, your done. X and Ja were good friends, rapped together, and were close. But Ja ruined that. If you don’t know tha story, look it up. And in an interview I saw on youtube on what I think was with Tim Westwood, DMX was talking about a time in Chicago where he claims to of saved Ja’s life and stopped tha people that were coming for him. And if someone does that for you it would seem like you’d have more respect and love for them. In tha track We Don’t Give A Fuck, DMX tells it perfectly, 100% perfectly. “There was always something there, but I just couldn’t touch it, wasn’t something that would hurt me, so a nigga said fuck it, I let it slide, laugh at jokes, let it ride, but now that you done killed it, I’m glad that it died, thats iight, I know where you live, I’m just waiting, till we knock on ya front door and let you meet Satan, thats what you get for hatin, fuck you fagget, I never did trust you fagget, I’ll bust you fagget, what you done forgot about tha streets is this, you do a grimy nigga like you do a grimy bitch, ya stop fuckin with him, got no more raps, no more yo whats up D, not more that, be lucky if I don’t spit in your face, off a GP, and what? bitch ass nigga, ya can’t beat me, don’t take it as a loss, just take it as a lesson, next time think twice or get iced with tha Wessun, nigga” Explains itself. He says how he always knew there was something funny about tha relationship, but didn’t fuck with it and once it died, he didn’t give a fuck. And how he ain’t scared of Ja and Ja stands no chance. And RR is a very talented group. Swizz is a great producer, one of tha best. DMX has a unique style, dark and crazy rhymes, and is always real.
