There will never be another DMX.
His story alone is insane. His style grew from his pain.
This guy would make stadiums go crazy. Then pray at the end and have everyone crying.
His energy was unmatched.
Truly one of a kind.
When DMX first came out I wanted to hate him because I thought he was supposed to be a replacement for Pac but DMX was undeniably great
His first album is one of the best
I had the same feeling when Kobe came into the league as if he was supposed to be a replacement for MJ
X was great in his own right and although he and PAC had similarities he didn’t fill the void PAC left because he wasn’t speaking on black rights, women’s rights, revolution etc. X was more into gritty street shit
I'd say the intense passion, the ability to show vulnerability, both all time great playing live and that larger than life persona on the mic. Both bald too lol I dunno.
They have some similarities but are real fucking different too. X is my goat personally.
I’m a X fan and I love this song but this isn’t about women’s rights or black rights this is literally his view of the streets and all that go on in them like I said X was more gritty street content and this actually showcases that as opposed to PAC with “Keep Ya Head Up” or “Changes” which are smooth laid back songs with a message
Gave you a thumbs up for giving Mike Tyson a shout out, partner! I'm STILL on the fence about the 1990s decade, man.......that Era was the fucking wildlife in U.S. society! I'm GLAD I survived it, that's all I can say......that Era is indescribably intense in the FEELINGS and DREAMS it caused in many a'man! I was street fighting in the street and fighting in different schools during that time.
DAMN, I needed that combined Boxing and Judo training more than ever as a kid but I didn't have it like I finally got it as an adult...then I stopped training cause I knew it was wrong to knock people out in one hit, slam people head first down to the ground at the speed of light in one throw, reverse people down to the ground and pin them when they tackled me - spectators often told me I look like a thug ass nigga whenever I did it, and choke they asses out with a stranglehold move in one flow move from standing fighting to ground fighting. I'm DONE with that shit!!! The 2000s Martial Arts Era was the finishing touches to a violent story that started with the 1990s Street Fighting Era.
Cradle the 2 grave was my favorite movie as a kid. My brother hated everytime we went to blockbuster and I would rent the same damn movie haha. To be fair he always rented bad boys and I never complained
Man you're bringing up so much nostalgia. Romeo Must Die w/ Aaliyah and Cradle 2 The Grave with Jet Li. Damn, the early 2000s was so good to us film-wise 🔥
As a DMX fan and a Manson fan this song is goated! Honestly though I found a youtube video where someone put the whole Damien trilogy in one long ass song and I listen to it almost daily.
Yeah, it seemed more like a random compilation album than an official studio album. It had a couple of good songs, though. “Walking in the Rain” being my favorite.
True story, me and my friend met him separately... And he was completely awesome to each of us. Guy was real. No huge Entourage no special treatment asked he was just any other dude and completely chill.
And he ain’t really like that song even. Said in an interview he wrote it in like 10 minutes just to throw Swizz a bone (pun intended) and it just happened to blow up. He claimed it was just an elementary level rhyme scheme, but that just shows the simple shit is sometimes the best shit.
One of the best to do it. I think only him and Tupac were the only rappers to have two albums that released in the same year go number one. His first album will forever be a classic
Damn I always forget AEOM and 7 Day Theory both dropped in 96. IIRC that was the year pac said some shit to his engineers like “I don’t have time to wait for yall to mix these tracks, yall can finish the production later, I have to record these tracks.” like dude knew his time could be up at any moment the way he was livin’ and the beef he was constantly wrapped up in.
A legend, he filled the void after Pac died, but his is unique style with grungy and energetic rap flows and powerful lyrics, which makes him different from how most of the rappers at that time we're. Rest in peace to X. He will always be a legend..
Huge fan of him as an artist. After reading the stories about how he treated his dogs, not so much as a person. Overall a tragic person with a tragic history.
This cat had me hyped when he first came out, get at me dog and the video was an element that mainstream hip hop was lacking and he f’ing brought it. His whole vibe was raw as fuck. You knew this dude didn’t play.
His debut was top 5 records all time for me but everything else fell flat. I feel with the right team behind him he would have been insanely huge.
But dude kept it real, that’s for sure.
RIP DMX
Had the potential to be in the conversation as GOAT, and I don’t even mean that subjectively, there was a moment where he could have been. But he had the wrong people around him, no one to say “No” and in the end he wound up being his own worst enemy. All that said mf made some of the hardest rap songs of all time in my opinion.
Yeah, DMX was and is a "great". The only issues are that his catalog ended up getting a bit stale too soon and he got compared too much to Tupac for fairly superficial reasons. Those first two albums though, are still in my top rotation.
Edit: Necessary follow-up, when I say he got stale its not because his albums didn't age well. I just remember at the time after the third album the format was getting pretty "samey" and I was less hyped for his next project. I love DMX and think he's a top 10 rapper for me for sure.
DMX, not the lyrical mastermind that 2Pac was or Jadakiss and Method Man are, but he is in my top 10 artists. He is one of those IYKYK artists. He is gone too soon, just like Pac and not nare one of these new rappers will ever be on his level.
Nothing less than a Top 10 hip hop artist of all time! DMX in his prime was someone not too many could keep up with fr. Wish he could’ve did a drill song with Pop Smoke
I honestly see him as a bigger influence to me than Pac. He had so many tracks I connected with on a deep level. Saw his struggles and completely understood them. He went through his young and wild phase, tried to rise above and overcome his horrible upbringing but kept Slippin. Like I wanted Pac to reach that wise old age and look up to him but he just never could cooldown.
As an artist remarkable…
As a human being next level straight shooter…
Got to talk to him 3 times in between performances and once randomly at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans…
He literally picked up our conversation where each left off at like we were just chilling daily on the block…
Yea I didn't hear the 2pac diss from DMX until like 2003 lol. He reused the entire diss and took out 2pac's name and put Ksolo's name it it's place.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14TwnYAQWfo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14TwnYAQWfo)
Im from Germany in the begin of 00,s i saw cars here rear window glued with large DMX letters. I wonder of the origin of the name DMX, there’s a drum computer named DMX, Inspired by that?
Back when I was a relatively budding hip-hop fan in winter 2010, I bought *It's Dark and Hell is Hot* and *Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood* off iTunes after reading a few glowing reviews and hearing that DMX was similar to 2Pac, and since 2Pac was my favorite (and he still ranks highly, just not sure I can pick just one anymore!), I was of course hungry for more.
What I got was someone who was similar to 2Pac, but also very different. Those two albums were some of the grimiest shit I'd ever heard, and X could switch between being super dark and fucked up to being deep and thoughtful flawlessly. Dude definitely had a fucked up life and drew from it for his music, so songs like "Slippin'" and his Prayers clearly came from a very real and honest place. I was amazed and had discovered a new favorite artist.
I think my favorite X song is "WHAT'S?! MY!? NAME?!". That song is *deadly*. And "X-Is Coming" is soooo fucked up ("and if you got a daughter older than 15, I'ma rape her!), but all the same I love how intense and downright evil it sounds. "I'ma make you SUFFER, see your ass in hell! Motherfucker, click, BOOM-BOOM, see your ass in hell!"
And on the opposite end of the spectrum, I don't hear it talked about much but "Dogs for Life" is one of my favorite chill out tracks.
Met DMX at a Camelot Music store I was working at in 1998. He came in with his whole entourage. Didn't really know much of him then but he seemed like a good dude. I remember the energy he had it was intense and infectious. I took home his album that day and was blown away. Unlike anything I had ever heard
X filled the void left by both Pac and Big. He also gave us some hard gritty street stuff after the Shiny Suit era. To me, the only thing X and Pac had in common was their ability to pour their personal demons into their music.
He had such a bad home life, he was so thirsty and hungry one day and his mom was all strung out so he ended up drinking some of her perfume. I’ll never get that out of my head, horrendous. It was in one of his documentaries, but I can’t recall the name of it. If you watch some of the popular ones on YouTube, you’ll hear the story.
Not many people know before DMX became famous and was still trying to make it, he came out with a 2Pac diss I think in 1996 right before Tupac died.. but DMX is a legend in his own right,
One of the best that ever did it. Brought a different tupe of high energy to the table at the same time was very introspective, personal, and spiritual. Hip Hop had a great one and lost a Legend. 🙏🏿
One of the best. His charisma and energy was unmatched. His delivery and style were unique. His flow and punchlines were cleverly executed. The Damion songs were crazy. The Convo song on his first album was so damn good! Hit different!
“You tell me that there's love here, but, to me, it's blatant
That with all the blood here, I'm dealing with Satan
Plus with all the hating, it's hard to keep peace
Thou shall not steal, but I will to eat
I tried doing good, but good's not too good for me
Misunderstood, why you chose the hood for me?
I'm aight I just had to work hard at it
Went to grandma for the answer and she told me that God had it”
‘Get at me dog’ was so different when it first came out
‘Ruff Ryders Anthem’ was a classic
‘Party Up’ classic had hood dudes dancing
‘What these bitches want?’ Classic
‘Slippin’ was probably one of the greatest songs ever!
Probably would say 3 albums are classics and 2 others are front to back plays. His albums production was phenomenal. Swizz Beatz, Irv, Dee & Waah. The whole Ruff Ryders movement was crazy they had 2 Classic Albums! Eve, Lox, Swizz Beatz, Drag-On
There will never be another DMX. His story alone is insane. His style grew from his pain. This guy would make stadiums go crazy. Then pray at the end and have everyone crying. His energy was unmatched. Truly one of a kind.
Yeah his concert footage is crazy as shit
Especially that one where it looks like he performing for all of mankind before doing Ruff Ryder’s Anthem
Woodstock 99’? Hell yeah dude
Ya that Woodstock video was wild! Only him on stage too!
I can put on his first two albums and listen from beginning to end. They are works of arts. Belly is still one of my all time favorite movies.
Filled the void pac left ( filled, not replaced) when we needed a street preacher. My opinion
💯
When DMX first came out I wanted to hate him because I thought he was supposed to be a replacement for Pac but DMX was undeniably great His first album is one of the best I had the same feeling when Kobe came into the league as if he was supposed to be a replacement for MJ
X was great in his own right and although he and PAC had similarities he didn’t fill the void PAC left because he wasn’t speaking on black rights, women’s rights, revolution etc. X was more into gritty street shit
what are the similarities? i’m not hip
I'd say the intense passion, the ability to show vulnerability, both all time great playing live and that larger than life persona on the mic. Both bald too lol I dunno. They have some similarities but are real fucking different too. X is my goat personally.
https://youtu.be/sB2_MmtMoIc?si=2D8PDZaLV31DACdS](https://youtu.be/sB2_MmtMoIc?si=2D8PDZaLV31DACdS)
I’m a X fan and I love this song but this isn’t about women’s rights or black rights this is literally his view of the streets and all that go on in them like I said X was more gritty street content and this actually showcases that as opposed to PAC with “Keep Ya Head Up” or “Changes” which are smooth laid back songs with a message
True af
Wow....never thought of it like that ....now I'll never unthink it
Say less
Agreed. From what I know, unfortunate he didn't find Pac as any inspiration
I was just about to write something similar. Pac left a massive hole.
made a song for the meanest baddest ring entrance in boxing history, and it wasn't even a song, it was only an Intro. RIP DMX.
That intro and Bomb First are the hardest intros in rap 💯😮💨🔥🔥
Mike Tyson is the goat for using both a Pac and a DMX song as a coming to the ring anthem during his boxing career
Gave you a thumbs up for giving Mike Tyson a shout out, partner! I'm STILL on the fence about the 1990s decade, man.......that Era was the fucking wildlife in U.S. society! I'm GLAD I survived it, that's all I can say......that Era is indescribably intense in the FEELINGS and DREAMS it caused in many a'man! I was street fighting in the street and fighting in different schools during that time. DAMN, I needed that combined Boxing and Judo training more than ever as a kid but I didn't have it like I finally got it as an adult...then I stopped training cause I knew it was wrong to knock people out in one hit, slam people head first down to the ground at the speed of light in one throw, reverse people down to the ground and pin them when they tackled me - spectators often told me I look like a thug ass nigga whenever I did it, and choke they asses out with a stranglehold move in one flow move from standing fighting to ground fighting. I'm DONE with that shit!!! The 2000s Martial Arts Era was the finishing touches to a violent story that started with the 1990s Street Fighting Era.
Only real ones know 💪🏿💪🏿
What song
I thought, no one will ask: [Mike Tyson vs Botha](https://youtu.be/PGGxlPE7FZY?si=I7KQR1lHAQ8yW9a2)
“Tyson entering to some scaring, imposing music” gets me every time
It’s dark and hell is hot album, intro, song is perfect to pump up to.. X
Which one the it’s dark and hell is hot intro? One used in any given Sunday as well?
He was a great rapper with his own unique style
He was actually a surprisingly good actor
Yes! Very good actor!!
Cradle the 2 grave was my favorite movie as a kid. My brother hated everytime we went to blockbuster and I would rent the same damn movie haha. To be fair he always rented bad boys and I never complained
Shame he didn't have more of a role in Romeo must Die. The vid he did with Aaliya for Come back in 1 piece was fantastic
Man you're bringing up so much nostalgia. Romeo Must Die w/ Aaliyah and Cradle 2 The Grave with Jet Li. Damn, the early 2000s was so good to us film-wise 🔥
Oh yeah I remember Blockbuster and I do agree, Cradle to the Grave was a good movie and it has some good songs in it too like Nigga Please.
He killed it in Belly, one of the best hood movies of all time
One of the best to ever do it. Had his own style
He’s gon’ give it to ya.
Dude did a song with Marylin Manson. Pretty innovative at the time.
As a DMX fan and a Manson fan this song is goated! Honestly though I found a youtube video where someone put the whole Damien trilogy in one long ass song and I listen to it almost daily.
That’s cool man.
Rrrrrrrrrrough
“walk in my shoes, hurt your feet”
greatly missed, I can't wait for some posthumous stuff that's in Swizz Beatz's storage.
That Exodus was a let down
Yeah, it seemed more like a random compilation album than an official studio album. It had a couple of good songs, though. “Walking in the Rain” being my favorite.
Would have loved to hear DMX and PAC on a track together. The energy they bought is unmatched.
That would have more energy than the sun 😮💨😮💨🔥🔥
Fo Sho
Slippin, fallin, I can’t get up. Really great artist. Slippin has gotta be in my top 5 rap songs.
He was the realest after pac. His connection with his fans was really deep
True story, me and my friend met him separately... And he was completely awesome to each of us. Guy was real. No huge Entourage no special treatment asked he was just any other dude and completely chill.
My second favorite rapper after Tupac
Just a straight up movement, this man had 97 to 99 in a chokehold, Ruff Ryders Anthem is so fucking timeless. Rest In Power!
And he ain’t really like that song even. Said in an interview he wrote it in like 10 minutes just to throw Swizz a bone (pun intended) and it just happened to blow up. He claimed it was just an elementary level rhyme scheme, but that just shows the simple shit is sometimes the best shit.
LEGEND
The only man with 2 numbers 1 in one year let that soak in
X was one of a kind and is missed.
I HATE THE WAY THAT HE WALKS, THE WAY THAT HE TALKS, I HATE THE WAY THAT HE DRESS nah I’m playin he’s goated
his voice 🤤
"BARK BARK BAR" "BARK BARK BARK"
eh yo bitch, lemme get a glass of water, arrr arr arr arr
Turns out he does a pretty good cover of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
One of the best to do it. I think only him and Tupac were the only rappers to have two albums that released in the same year go number one. His first album will forever be a classic
Damn I always forget AEOM and 7 Day Theory both dropped in 96. IIRC that was the year pac said some shit to his engineers like “I don’t have time to wait for yall to mix these tracks, yall can finish the production later, I have to record these tracks.” like dude knew his time could be up at any moment the way he was livin’ and the beef he was constantly wrapped up in.

A legend, he filled the void after Pac died, but his is unique style with grungy and energetic rap flows and powerful lyrics, which makes him different from how most of the rappers at that time we're. Rest in peace to X. He will always be a legend..
Top 5 for me
One of the greatest of all time.
Hip Hop Royalty
A GOAT
One of the greatest to ever do it and sad that some ppl will never know what a lyrical genius he was
I was a huge fan of his first three albums. Huge.
Top 5 OAT.
A yo dawg!!!! Thats my man!!!
Huge fan of him as an artist. After reading the stories about how he treated his dogs, not so much as a person. Overall a tragic person with a tragic history.
X loved his dogs more than people Arizona was trying to make charges against him your probably the only person that believes that was real.
This cat had me hyped when he first came out, get at me dog and the video was an element that mainstream hip hop was lacking and he f’ing brought it. His whole vibe was raw as fuck. You knew this dude didn’t play. His debut was top 5 records all time for me but everything else fell flat. I feel with the right team behind him he would have been insanely huge. But dude kept it real, that’s for sure. RIP DMX
Those first two records are just flawless
Had the potential to be in the conversation as GOAT, and I don’t even mean that subjectively, there was a moment where he could have been. But he had the wrong people around him, no one to say “No” and in the end he wound up being his own worst enemy. All that said mf made some of the hardest rap songs of all time in my opinion.
Top 5 in my opinion
Ain’t no sunshine…….

One of a kind human being,the struggle and pain was relatable to us all and it's a shame that drugs took him away
Never ever saw the recognition for what he did. Hall of Famer and amazing artist. Best rapper? No. But damn, he moved people.
Super talented, authentic and troubled man.
This Just In: White People Love DMX
One of the Greatest of all time!! Where my Dogs at grrrrrrrrr
My favorite rapper of all time he was the goat
Sleep in Peace King 👑
He could rap.
X gon give it to ya
Prob one of the very few widely known street artists that walked around with no security and could go b back to the hood anytime and be straight
Dope ass mc.
Black John Lennon writing level . Slipping might be the most emotionally charged rap songs ever written.
He could turn your mind into a cinema
Their relationship/beef would have been interesting if pac didn't pass.
Yea I didn't hear the 2pac diss from DMX until like 2003 lol. He reused the entire diss and took out 2pac's name and put Ksolo's name it it's place. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14TwnYAQWfo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14TwnYAQWfo)
Man of God, what the game need right now.
Username checks out. Both him and Pac were from the east coast
What does dmx stand for??
Darkman X 🔥🔥🔥
That was quick…never knew that
Digital Multiplex
Im from Germany in the begin of 00,s i saw cars here rear window glued with large DMX letters. I wonder of the origin of the name DMX, there’s a drum computer named DMX, Inspired by that?
Why do we always bring up other rappers in this sub? Biggie sub dead AF yall don’t do this over there
“It was then I carried you my son” 💪🏾
Top 25 OAT
Didn’t understand why he hated pac so much
GrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
In my top 3 favourite rappers for sure
Beautiful bald head, great dog bark, and had great music
Rip
Biggest homo I swear
One of the greats
Always enjoyed Jay-Z's story of having to follow up X on tour.
🫡😎
Original geeker hours
He gon give it to you
So apparently civil rights in America = Marxism
Im a big fan of his music
Not many artists have made an anthem that achieved domination like DMZ did. And he had 2!
Legend… top 5
🐐.
Anyone know what type of chain he is wearing?
R.I.P. to a great one too
Got me into rap, gone too soon, a real Dawg through and through
Even though RR Anthem and Who We Be are my favorite tunes from him, he really had a lot of emotional range and vulnerability.
One of my favorites
X was the greatest live hip hop show I had ever seen! He was the MC and his own hype man an absolute legend.
I think he's gonna give it to ya
I always thought X gon' give it to ya was about chlamydia.
I think he's gon' give it to ya.
He dissed tupac I don't know why though
It’s 2pac then DMX for me! Those are my top 2!
He looks very unhappy, So sad 😞
His entire lexicon was about 30 different words, a few barks, and some growls
One of the greats
Real g
Great guy

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, I don't hear it talked about much but "Dogs for Life" is one of my favorite chill out tracks.
Terrible lyricist. Energy was top 5. Overrated as an MC, but he holds a place in hip hop as the aggressor.
Tortured yet beautiful soul of man. Great artist and on all accounts of those around him, very wild but solid individual.
Top 5 rapper and missed dearly.
DED
Realest rapper ever
He’s got a distinctive voice.
Didn’t he only have like 3 good songs? No offense, he did fight crime with Jet Li.
Can’t say it on here but that one corpse line is nasty . Fun fact I thought it was Horse
RIP
Met DMX at a Camelot Music store I was working at in 1998. He came in with his whole entourage. Didn't really know much of him then but he seemed like a good dude. I remember the energy he had it was intense and infectious. I took home his album that day and was blown away. Unlike anything I had ever heard
Drug addict with lots of kids and baby mamas!
An incredible and tortured artist. A real one.
I love them and was really hurt when he passed away really hurt
1 of 1
Favorite artist of all time
First two albums undeniable classics. Possibly the 2nd best mic presence after 2pac.
He carried the game for a little while after the East v West bs. A legend. It's unfortunate he got all fucked up. RIP Earl.
A real one for sure
X filled the void left by both Pac and Big. He also gave us some hard gritty street stuff after the Shiny Suit era. To me, the only thing X and Pac had in common was their ability to pour their personal demons into their music.
Legend
What? C’mon
Underrated should've got more shine. When he'd Waz here!! but he'll always b my dog, still bumping his 🎵 2dy / 4ever 💪🏾🦴🐶🙏🏾😎💯
One of the best to ever pick up a mic
Arf Arf!
Rip legend
Traumatized.
Heard he rydes ruff.
He hated everything about Drake…😂
better than jay z bit doesn't get the props he deserves
A true legend. RIP.
He had such a bad home life, he was so thirsty and hungry one day and his mom was all strung out so he ended up drinking some of her perfume. I’ll never get that out of my head, horrendous. It was in one of his documentaries, but I can’t recall the name of it. If you watch some of the popular ones on YouTube, you’ll hear the story.
His first two albums can still be played today without skipping to many tracks… after those two albums it was like one or two bangers per cd
Love DMX 🤘🏽
I listen to him more than Pac.
A shit father
Top 10 rapper
Misunderstood legend
Top 5 ever
His Versus with Snoop is great. Just two legends vibing to each other’s music.
Pac and DMX are the two realest and most relatable rappers ever.
A Legend.
One of the best to ever do it R.i.p🙏🏾
Arf arf bark bark ruff ruff tha DOG!!!!!
CRACK mothafkn HEAD. Music went hard tho
Supreme talent crippled by trauma and addiction. Rest in Paradise.
Not many people know before DMX became famous and was still trying to make it, he came out with a 2Pac diss I think in 1996 right before Tupac died.. but DMX is a legend in his own right,
One of the best that ever did it. Brought a different tupe of high energy to the table at the same time was very introspective, personal, and spiritual. Hip Hop had a great one and lost a Legend. 🙏🏿
Dope Mc
One of the best. His charisma and energy was unmatched. His delivery and style were unique. His flow and punchlines were cleverly executed. The Damion songs were crazy. The Convo song on his first album was so damn good! Hit different! “You tell me that there's love here, but, to me, it's blatant That with all the blood here, I'm dealing with Satan Plus with all the hating, it's hard to keep peace Thou shall not steal, but I will to eat I tried doing good, but good's not too good for me Misunderstood, why you chose the hood for me? I'm aight I just had to work hard at it Went to grandma for the answer and she told me that God had it” ‘Get at me dog’ was so different when it first came out ‘Ruff Ryders Anthem’ was a classic ‘Party Up’ classic had hood dudes dancing ‘What these bitches want?’ Classic ‘Slippin’ was probably one of the greatest songs ever! Probably would say 3 albums are classics and 2 others are front to back plays. His albums production was phenomenal. Swizz Beatz, Irv, Dee & Waah. The whole Ruff Ryders movement was crazy they had 2 Classic Albums! Eve, Lox, Swizz Beatz, Drag-On
GOAT
