Just mumble a bunch of unintelligible stuff, then drop a heavy "Ugggghhhhhh" over a dope track, have Mystikal drop a verse, and it was golden lol That dude snared me on something serious, but looking back on it, I feel like someone reflecting on their time spent in a religious cult, fully rehabilitated i distinctly remember having my ear close to the speakers and constantly rewinding Mystikal's verse on Make'em Say Ugghhh trying to memorize it in my youth wasn't surprised that he ended up with commercial success beyond No Limit, but he turned out to be a rapist, can't look at his lines the same. Mac had the best albums on No Limit Edited February 4, 2019 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite albums of all time. Didn’t it come out in 1998? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I thought it was late '98 too. Maybe there was a delay for the show or whatever. Lot of anni's are coming up if they haven't already passed (Nelly, Luda, Em, etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hype and reaching of expectations for Flesh of My Flesh is LeBron levels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Must be why I remember that one and not the first. I just remember being in 5th grade when I first heard the Anthem around Halloween. Felt like DMX was the closest thing to metal for the rap game. Like, I would've legit crowdsurfed at a DMX concert. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why he’s calling it the 20th anniversary tour but whatevs. Probably trying to make extra money off the nostalgia. Maaan, when Get At Me Dog came out, I was a sophomore in high school and **** was never the same after that. That was before Ruff Ryders Anthem which was WAY more pop. I just got my first hoopdee when Get At Me Dog came out. I would crank that **** everywhere. Plus all the other good **** on that album. The intro let’s you know that D isn’t ****ing around.

He was on some bad boy stuff though too. His spot on 24 Hours to Live off of Mase’s album was legit. That whole song was tight. The DMX feature on the Belly soundtrack. What, Grand Finale? That song was fire. Dude was just all over the place. Ruff Ryders (mainly DMX though) took over for a good 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me remember a happier time though, that cheesy Bad Boy era when I was in high school. All About the Benjamins was my joint... especially when the beat changes and Biggie drops.

You goto a club or party and people will show you how much they love it when those tunes start blasting. But the aesthetic changed. JayZ went from this and jumping on the Diddy/Bad Boy/The Hitmen: To this after DMX dropped (can't find a better pic): It was just different. And people were chasing a darker sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Haha that’s so true re: Jay Z. Although he did switch to the Neptunes sound for a while too. He’s done great with staying relevant to the sound of the times although I don’t know if I’d dig Jay Z over a trap drum. Who knows though, anything is possible.

He jumps on trends and what's currently hot. After DMX, you saw JayZ rocking bandanas and what not. That's one thing Drake has over him. Drake brings those new sounds out. (not saying he creates them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Id go so far as to say that Kanye brings a lot of new sounds out. He does kinda poach on the up and coming stuff though. Dude is a basket case but I think he’s got a great ear for music. People love to hate on the new Kanye but I really like his stuff lately. His last album was kinda meh to me when it came out, but I think I’ll end up liking it in a year or two. Same thing happened with Life of Pablo. A year or two later and I think it’s good.

Bozo the kKklown Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Drake brought Grime to America. That's what I meant with him bringing out new sounds. Kanye create(d) new sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) While on the topic of DMX still, I watched Belly about 2 years ago for the first time since it initially came out. Was blown away by the soundtrack, specifically the track "Grand Finale," featuring Nas, DMX, Meth, and Ja (before he wanted to sing duets with Ashanti and **** 😂) I've always been a fan of those multicollaboration tracks, and imo, only "Hit Em High " from the Space Jam sounftrack (with B Real, LL, Meth, Coolio and Busts Rhymes) comes close DMX was definitely that dude from like '98-'03 Edited February 5, 2019 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 That was back in the day when so many good ass songs came out on soundtracks. I remember the Rush Hour soundtrack being dope. The In 2 Deep soundtrack has the first ever 50 Cen song I ever heard, How to Rob. The Wash soundtrack. Man, that was such a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
