gregory johnson I say one ask his peers meth on another level period. His swag, delivery, bars lyrically, punch lines, charisma, flow, versatility etc.. Meth was the complete package and then some frfr!!! Who else had all his qualities seriously!!
DMX was a preformer. That's for damn sure. His rapping style and just the way he carried himself was always amped up. You could tell that dude was a definite cocaine/crack user. Unfortunately that's what killed him. I remember when he got charged with stealing an SUV and got caught behind the wheel and smoking crack in the car. Lol. Crazy ass dude
Like Nas said.. The Beast love to eat black meat and got us niggaz from the hood hanging off his teeth. Which is so true!!! I was locked down in the belly of beast doing a lot of time when this came out listening to this and relating to this. Especially X verse which was so much me and my reality at that time in my life. I listen to this so much I pop my tape in my walkman from rewinding this back to X verse all the time🤣 Rest easy X love you man 😪
Its a higher quality product. Lyrics, rhymes, stories being told, beats, its all better then than now. The only thing "better" now is that it can be brought to market faster.
When I hear DMX voice, I get goosebumps all over my body. They all killed this song but dmx voice oh my God, oh my God ain't no one comes close to him.. Rest in paradise dog, love you forever
Great era full of great memories. If you want to listen to newer artists of today that give you that 90s feel, Go listen to my saved Playlist "Underground_Kingz" You'll find some great lyrical content there. Much better than today's mainstream.
@@jeremybear573 I live in England.. We didn't get everything over here. Choices were limited. I don't remember this one ever playing on MTV UK or The Box.
Your life,your highs and lows, the demons. We ALL love you X. YOU helped so so many youth in the weird ages. At 20 I was a recovering from the block. Thank you for all the years. Love you X from a unknown person

Born in 95 and I would say im a hip hop and music connoisseur as a whole. My older brother, sister, and family put me on everything west coast since I was a kid(grew up on the west side of az with my bro and sis being from cali). Respect the game to the fullest. But since I grew to be my own person in high-school around 09. I started looking into everything else on my own. Proud to say I found out school soul, doo wop, old school rock going from the 50s-90s and everything else in between. When I came across east coast 80-90s rap!!! It was the missing piece in between... the sound, the flow, the culture, and everything else in-between. I was brought into the world that created hip hop as a whole. Been hearing this song for about 7 years now but let me tell you something. You know how crazy it is to hear all these top notch voices in one song!!! Just want to take the time and appreciate the moment. Wu tang and nas changed who I am and how i look and live as a person! Music is peace and everything else in between! Thankful for the old cats and the young guns that represent NY like the should (joey bada$$, pop smoke, A$AP) like it should be! Peace God and hope everyone has a blessed day. WU TANG MF!!! QUEENS BRIDGE BITCH!!! SMACK FIRE OUT YA MOUTH!!

Method Man really had one of the nicest and most distinctive voices and flows in hip hop.... He'll sound good over anything.
Best voice in hip-hop and i always said it.
But he never sang solo always “featured “ him or whoever
Johnny Blaze had the slickest verse on the whole record.
Had?Baby please

Cant say it better than you did.....
RIP Dark Man X. That energy and presence was way too heavy and iconic.😥
