DMX passed away in 2021 also DMX stands for Dark Man X. DMX is from Yonkers, New York & got his start by battle rapping 2 guys who ended up founding the label he was signed to "Ruff Ryders" became his managers & the rest is history.
Actually if you've read his book earl. DmX don't really stand for anything he got it off the side of a drum machine oberhym dmx drum machine.,when he started recording. He just liked the sound of it. fans made the dark man x
DMX is a story teller!!! I went to one of his last concerts when he was in Atlantic City beach. He’s cussing one minute then having church the next😂 Had grown men in tears
DMX actually was a great storyteller rapper. His subject matter mostly revolved around the streets, his spirituality, fighting his personal demons, and crime stories. He was a great rapper.
2Pac was influenced by the streets, DMX was the streets. He was born in Baltimore, but grew up in Yonkers. He was known for robbing hustlers and drug dealers to survive while on the streets. Many rappers rap about what they saw, X rapped about what he lived.
The DMX I grew up with was the whole '''Im about to lose my mind up in hea up on hea!" back in the late 90s and my personal fav X Gon' Give It To Ya!! Love that song.
I love me some Earl❤ I’m glad this was your first song by him. It shows all sides of him to me. DMX was beloved worldwide and when he passed, it affected a lot of people. We loved him, flaws and all. “Slipping” and “How We Be” are two other of my favorite songs by him.
They always do. I don't understand how someone says all I heard him do is bark. Like if you saw him at anytime, he's not barking for 1-2-3-4 mins straight. Like this dude heard him bark, and turned off the radio or some shit LMAO
I don’t think he has a bad song… your right he’s truly a true story teller. Can make you hype, somber, pray, and cry. Maybe start with his first hit Party Up/In here, Slippin, What they want from me… No Sunshine..” Honestly his albums are no skip records. Slipping tells his life story, be prepared.
X was multi talented. As real as they come. Definitely a storyteller. Wasn't afraid to speak of his demons and troubles but certainly grounded in faith.
The difference is most old head hip hop lovers listened to the ones who paved the way for those after them...the fact that DMX was one of the best to ever do and you never heard of him is crazy....saying he can rap is an understatement...if you gone critique hip hop and do reactions pay homage and do ya homework my boi....respectfully
LMFAOOOOOOO bro had me crying laughing at the "I Thought He Just Barks" lmfaooooo that shit is silly. But seriously he was a legend in hip-hop youngin. Do your research
This is my favorite Dmx song. He’s in my top 5 favorite rappers of all time. He’s very similar to 2pac in the way that he made you feel his stories and passion. One of the all time greats.
Pac was more than a battle rapper. He was a prolific storyteller who rapped about a variety of topics. Black empowerment, female empowerment, love, hate...that's what made Pac among the greatest of all time. X was similar and while excellent, comparing him to Pac is unfair. X is X and Pac is Pac.
DMX is most known for the energy he brings to his raps, and not really for his wordplay or lyrics. He is not a bad lyricist by any means, but he is still a pretty simple lyricist. Thing is his delivery and energy make up for it and it makes him stand out.
@@punkem733 he is basic with rhymes like "ay yo the dog livin like a hog, in tha dark im a shark in the park". Take away the energy and delivery and he would objectively not be very good. Does he sometimes show a bit more than that? Of course, but he has never been much of complex rapper with bars that make you jump out of your seat. His energy was his main draw.
DMX came out during an era in rap where Puff Daddy and Bad Boy were at the top of the charts and rap was amount cash, prestige, glitz and glamour. X came on the scene dirty, gritty, and hyper aggressive. He pretty much too hip hop music back to grunge of the street with an overwhelming presence in the industry during the late 90's early 2000s.
"Dog Mentality eXtreme" LOL that made my day. You should have used the unedited version to get the full understanding. For me, DMX will be remembered as a great lyricist known for his high energy, gritty rhymes delivered with extreme intensity. You can FEEL what DMX is rapping about. DMX will get you hype! This particular song is slower and has R&B flavor, but it tells a real life story in a colorful way. I always liked this song and the video was dope too. Irv Gotti, Ja Rule, and Eve with cameos.
X ENTIRE 1st album is INSANE 🔥!! He 1000% was a storyteller, a BRILLIANT storyteller!! "Its Dark and Hell is Hot" is a whole album checkin out real talk. His "radio hits" are.dope n all but the REAL X is told through his album tracks 🐾🙅🏽♀️❤
I don’t know if you have already, but dig into DMX catalog the man was phenomenal, absolutely different from 2Pac, but phenomenal at the most. DMX was a great storyteller there will never be another MC like him.
One of the most underrated storytellers in hip hop history. Listen to his debut It’s Dark and Hell is Hot. It’s FULL of stories! And since storytelling interests you, listen to Sticky Fingaz (from ONYX) solo debut album called Black Trash: The Diary of Kirk Jones. It’s LITERALLY one long story from beginning to end. Dope concept, dope features, everything! You’ll LOVE it! I promise you
He's got a few more hits that are way bigger like x gon give to ya, party up, where the hood at and ruff ryders anthem. he's also been in a couple of cool movies like exit wounds and cradle 2 the grave
2 Pac n DMX were 2 legendary intelligent artists that deserve some respect. U speak down on them like u some type of general or something. Doesn’t seem right at all youngin

5 straight no1 albums …He was huge in the late 90s-early 2000s Check out “Slipping” DMX was a Genuis ..Great storyteller RIP Earl Simmons 🕊️🕊️ (I don’t get why u keep tryna compare him to 2Pac…(To me they are totally diffferent Love DMX❤❤
He ran from a group home his mom didnt want him ,,,a Abandoned pit dog was his only friend ,,,he owes to intimidate and steal with the dog whe woyuld sic the dog on you ,,ONCE of the worst cases of child abuse BRO DO YOUR HOMEWORK

What is DMX known for? he can, hesitation hesitation rap? Man this dude is a LEGEND. One of the last real rappers, PAY HOMAGE!
DMX is known for echoing the STREETS. That is why his passion is felt. One more road to cross, here we go again where da hood at.
2Pac was influenced by the streets, DMX was the streets. He was born in Baltimore, but grew up in Yonkers. He was known for robbing hustlers and drug dealers to survive while on the streets. Many rappers rap about what they saw, X rapped about what he lived.
Big facts 💯💯
PAC was influenced by revolutionaries , he grew up in some rough places so he talked about it but he was the product of the Panthers and the BLA.

FAM DID NOT READ THE COMMENTS… Fam you gotta research the artist out of respect for the artist & your viewers 💯
Big facts lol homie making me take it personal 😂
Not sure what DMX songs you have heard before, but DMX has never just barked in his music. Yeah young one you have a lot to learn.
They always do. I don't understand how someone says all I heard him do is bark. Like if you saw him at anytime, he's not barking for 1-2-3-4 mins straight. Like this dude heard him bark, and turned off the radio or some shit LMAO

Those barks are because censuring certain words, the barks are not on the original song.
X was multi talented. As real as they come. Definitely a storyteller. Wasn't afraid to speak of his demons and troubles but certainly grounded in faith.
Biggie's wife Faith Evans is singing the hook.
This song was released in 1998

It's also hilarious because 90% of the rap of his generation is just mumbling
@@SayberV1 💯👏🏻💯👏🏻💔💔💔💔
DMX has alot of good songs. Slippin, Party up, Damien, Ruff Ryders Anthem, X Gon' Give it to Ya, Where the Hood At?
unfortunately no dmx passed away. but he pass a problem in the industry for a few years. request. DMX-Slippin he tells his story.

Well X lived the lyrics he wrote. Tupac was supposed to be revolutionist but did gangsta rap.
DMX was a beautiful artist bro....look into him more if you haven't since this video.
I guess I’m from a different era(80s baby) but how is this yall first time ever hearing this song? 🤦🏽♀️
X ENTIRE 1st album is INSANE 🔥!! He 1000% was a storyteller, a BRILLIANT storyteller!! "Its Dark and Hell is Hot" is a whole album checkin out real talk. His "radio hits" are.dope n all but the REAL X is told through his album tracks 🐾🙅🏽♀️❤
Dmx, Pac and Naughty By Nature were all boys growing up.
‘I thought he just barks’. What the fuck is this kid talking bout? Smh
I don’t know if you have already, but dig into DMX catalog the man was phenomenal, absolutely different from 2Pac, but phenomenal at the most. DMX was a great storyteller there will never be another MC like him.
His album “It’s dark and hell is hot”…you should listen to it. It’s doesn’t have to be a reaction it’s a must listen to
X is known for everything no cap 🧢 he touches on all topics for the listeners
DMX catalog is unequaled. What they want from a.
If you're saying you don't understand him, or your first thoughts of him was adlibs, please go back and listen to his first album.
One of the greatest rappers ever rip X
Earl Simmons aka DMX passed away April 9 2021 from a cocaine induced heart attack . Sad Loss for faily and fans.
One of the most underrated storytellers in hip hop history. Listen to his debut It’s Dark and Hell is Hot. It’s FULL of stories!
And since storytelling interests you, listen to Sticky Fingaz (from ONYX) solo debut album called Black Trash: The Diary of Kirk Jones. It’s LITERALLY one long story from beginning to end. Dope concept, dope features, everything! You’ll LOVE it! I promise you
The ninth song off "And then there was X."
I've watched that first 10 seconds 100's of times and never noticed "Harlem".
DMX can stand side by side to Tupac. Both great story tellers. I know they are making music together in heaven.❤❤
He is a hood legend
He made a lot of money fast he got more than 10 platinum albums. Like 15 fr
"What is DMX known for?" Dude, you are embarrassing yourself.
Why? He’s being honest.
It's cringe for us, but we'll give the youngin a pass . Hopefully, he does his homework ....
Devine master of the unknown.
You need to do a lot more of old music reviews…. This is one of my favorite songs and I’m actually doing a remake as well
He raps better than any rapper out now by a long long shot
DMX is one of the greats. 💯
He struggled with drugs and Alcohol. Prison hurt his soul.😢
You should’ve listened to the unedited version so you can get everything he was saying 👌🏾
Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
The type of guy to react to a radio edit of a DMX track.
You thought he barked through all his rhymes?😂
My fav song from DMX is Aint No Sunshine. It was mt adult life as well as his .😢 try it
DMX, my favorite rapper along with 2Pac and biggie small❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
X is known FIRST as 100% authentic… flaws and all. Pac was a persona that became a symbol.
Dmx a real lyricist the barking is simply adlibs should react to slipping
DMX= Dark Man X
Lord I feel for this generation ...😢
It's impossible to listen to a Radio Edit of a DMX song 😂. Album / Dirty Versions only
React to Damien 1, 2, and 3. This trilogy is highly slept on! It's one of the best ever ❤️
PLEASE do more DMX!
If you want to know more about DMX, react to his song Slippin
