"Shit got me wishing DMX had never hit the pipe"

I remember Schoolboy saying DMX was seen as the 2nd coming of 2Pac back when he came up

X-Is Comin also >>>>>>>> the way he comes in on that beat is something that only X can do. Honestly. No other rapper past or present could do that s***.

thought of this song when I heard the news

Praying we get some good news today. He’s still fighting.

really sad about this but maybe it's time for DMX to get peace.

I can't stop hearing X on some Freddie's songs. listen to Real and Ns Done Started Something

Yeah man. I was 8 when he blew up and I remember him being omnipresent on MTV and stuff.

The passion, presence and just general soul on tracks is very Pac to me.

X influence on Freddie always been palpable

X influenced literally most rappers post 98 tbh

@Bad_Finger_Boogie

Imagine prime DMX over Madlib and Alchemist beats

Did DMX ever rap over Havoc production??? Can’t remember

Pretty sure they had beef. As far as I know we only got this freestyle

Ripped that s***

Prodigy:

“DMX was our new 2Pac. When he came out, in people’s minds, they probably didn’t realize it, but in people’s minds, they equated him with 2Pac. He had a similar look. He had a bald head, and he was wilding, from the hood. He brought that church, he would pray in songs and all that type of s***. You know how Pac was with the church and praying and all that? DMX reminded people of 2Pac, whether they realized it or not.”

Kendrick Lamar:

“Aww yeah. That’s the first album that got me writing. I wrote my first lyrics to that album actually, about 13-14. I was going into eighth grade, seventh grade going into eighth grade maybe. I just got inspired and I started writing, so that will always be one of my favorite albums. And the fact that I just met DMX for the first time last week—I got to actually tell him that for the first time. That album inspired me to be a rapper.

“It was just the raw and realness. Tupac was gone, there was a void, something was missing in the game and he came through to fill that void. Now that I think about it, that was the reason why.

“My favorite song would probably be the ‘Intro.’ ‘One two one two / come through run through gun who / oh you don't know what the gun do.’ I had that on repeat. That, ‘Get At Me Dog,’ I could go all day.”

He was, I remember watching some s*** on VH1 back in like 06 talking about it

PULL THRU GOAT!!!!!
so happy I’ve seen you live at rolling loud
