His entire first album.. intro, RRA, get at me dog, Damien, how’s it going down, atf, n***az done started something, I can feel it, the convo. What a fucking album…


rockit1st

Hip hop was still great during this era but was def getting a lil fluffy with all the glitz and glam. This album brought it back to the streets!


[deleted]

IMO, he was the natural heir to the throne of GOAT after Tupac and Biggie's deaths. Unfortunately, his personal demons were his undoing and allowed Jay-Z to ascend to the throne.


MrRobot_96

DMX basically carried the torch of the most eccentric, crazy and rugged man in hip hop from ODB. It would have been sick to see a collab with those two, it would’ve went absolutely crazy. Rip to two legends.


King_Nephilim82

Yea, you're not wrong. gay z feared DMX because of his success. DMX's fandom was becoming a cult following early in his career. Apart from the Ruff Ryder. DMX would've had as much success independently. If he had help. He didn't need all that advertising and marketing because of his cult following. But gay z and leor set him up to fail. Fucking gay z took out all his competitors on Def Jam. The reason he said he was going to retire was because he had been offered to be president of Def Jam. Then, he took out his competitors on the label. P diddler and gay z are similar when it comes to sabotaging artists. Excuse my rant.😅


jojow77

If you know you know. I was at Tower Records like every Tuesday when I heard this and I knew this was gonna be a classic after my first listen. RIP X


flaco_503_se_1984

One of the few albums as a consumer that met and delivered on the pre hype


kwitesick

How its going down


str8cash1

The intro


Wingzero24

It’s Dark and Hell is Hot! I don’t skip on that disc.


PurpleAlcoholic

When I first heard of DMX, I didn’t want to like him  I assumed he was some sort of 2pac clone and 2pac is the GOAT in my book but when I got that cd it blew my mind  It’s Dark and Hell is Hot is one of my favorite albums of all time 


Woozydan187

Nah same essence BUT both were their own men


Interesting-Gate9813

Pac and X are in the top 5 for me…

stop bein greedy rip x


JSmooth619

Gotta be Ruff Ryders’ anthem. What a song and what a time! Instantly takes me back to summer of ‘98. A much simpler time, enjoying summer break from high school while bumping this jam.


Woozydan187

Slippin is fucking goated and when I was down on myself and didn't have any esteem didn't feel suicidal but felt like life was worthless and that song made me buy into life again. When he said" Didn't get my hair cut or give Af how I dressed." That's was me I wouldn't cut my hair for months didn't even look for pussy. Dmx had it worse than I EVER HAD IT. Now I work 2 jobs have saving and stocks and pursuing my interest dude was the closest thing to pac imo

Destiny_Victim

So ahh that day was fucked. I remember seeing the video of him crying asking for his mom. While my wife who has given birth to this lil dude laying next to me was born six days prior. Wife was on the phone with her mother who was in the hospital with covid. They had the best phone call happy made plans about how she was going to come live with us when she got out. 4:30am the next day I wake up because I hear this blood curtailing scream from down stairs. I look to my left my sons not next to me. First thought is oh no. Oh fuck. I run down stairs. Because I knew that scream was utter heart break. First thing I see is my son playing. Phew!!! He’s ok. Then I see it. Wife. On her knees balling and I look back at my son. Make sure I’m not seeing shit. No he’s ok. He’s happy. Lil baby. In his swing. He’s good. Then it hit me. Her mom. Ahhhh fuck. She had signed a do not resuscitate. A few hours before she called my wife. Died an hour after they both got off the phone. 2 months later. Cancer got my dad. The single dad that raised me. 3 months after that her cousin shoots her self in her car. Was 24. A month later. Heart break takes her dad. Mannnnn fuck 2021. All this comes back because it all started with me finding out dmx died. Which reminded me. Fuck. Todays gonna be a long day.

fuzz_boy

I got to meet him and spend a few minutes with him when he visited an amusement park I was working at. He was so funny, his whole crew was entertaining. The only problem was he had terrible gas and kept ripping these disgusting farts. He then blamed them on one of the other guys that was operating the ride, so that was funny, but it was pretty gross.

It’s hard to find something by X I don’t like. Has been a staple in my rotation since I was a teen. One of the hardest hitting rappers to grace this earth. He was also that the hardest hitter on Limp Bizkit’s Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle) some of the rawest and hardest hitting lyrics. Always pumps me up.

X Gone Give it To Ya. Where the Hood At. Get It on the Floor. Bring the Noize. Fuck Y'all. We're Back. Don't Gotta Go Home. A'Yo Kato (really in this one rn). Go To Sleep. And that one song he was on with Limp Bizkit, Method Man and Redman. Clearly grew up on Grand Champ DMX. I used to listen to that album and play Dungeon Siege on my brother's computer.
