The fact that DMX had two platinum albums (Its Dark and Hell is Hot, Flesh of my Flesh) in one year which at the time was unheard of. Give that man his flowers
@@SingSayLes1125Technically it has been done before & after DMX because a double album (double disc album) is considered two actual albums so u would have to count 2pac's : All Eyes On Me album , Biggies : Life After Death album , Bone Thugs : The Art Of War album , Krayzie Bone's: Thug Mentality 1999 album , Outkast : Speakerboxxx/Love Below album & Eminems : Music To Be Murdered By album!!!! All of those double albums went platinum the year they all came out & are all considered two albums!!!!
DMX literally had a huge fan base across ALL races, genders, ages, etc!!! Even babies!!! Lol. There are videos of babies crying when his song ended! 😂The energy he evoked from crowds is like nothing I’ve ever seen another rapper do!!! His aura was INFECTIOUS!!! One of my GOATS!!! He was a PHENOMENON!!!
Bc X was 1 in BILLION...super original, great content... crazy energy... songs like Damien, where he speaks to the devil then songs like the Convo where he speaks to God..
Very true. But that was just one year that DMX was the top dog. Eminem took over when he dropped SSLP, MMLP, AND Eminem show. He even had the best rap album in 2009 when Recovery dropped. That’s 4 different years that Eminem was the top dog
@@rapgod8990 all of these are written as well as majority of “freestyles” so how does that take away from his flow? Also Wayne stopped writing a year or two before this so it’s a freestyle, just a recycled one.
DMX was special...his energy was unmatched. I watched an interview one time where he said he didn't want others on stage with him. This is so incontrast to other rappers who have a stage full of hang arounds. Go find DMX, he guys are lined up on the side or the back...unnoticeable.
I was born in 1980 so I've heard some of the greatest when they came out I remember when Tupac was on the radio and biggie and bone. And then when Eminem came out in the late nineties and he had five songs on the radio at the same time.... I have never heard any rapper for the extent of time that Eminem has been going and staying on top. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is my favorite rap group and Tupac is rapper of all time but skills and consistency etc ....eminem 💯
@@johnluke9036 Nah bro don't be like that. Wayne doesn't smoke Em and Em doesn't smoke Wayne, both are GOATs and that's the end of it. If you fuck with one of them more that's fair but don't bring this whack toxicity over here, reminds me of the crazy stans.
I graduated in 98 he dropped two albums. It’s dark and hell is hot, and flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood. Those albums played for two years. X in my top 5
DMX is absolutely one of the best to ever do it. Even the best couldn't follow him. That interview of Jay-z talking about being scared to go on stage after DMX says it all.
The last em freestyle was actually a freestyle all of ems joints were freestyles the only one he turned into a song was that no apologies freestyle but everyone on this list are goated 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@krishanpatel3360 I Seen A Man Die, Smile, On My Block, Guess Who’s Back are some of his most popular. He has a ton of good shit but definitely start with those
@krishanpatel3360 never seen a man cry, Mr. Mr. Scarface, between us feat. Nas, mac and Brad freestyle, Mary jane....smile fast. Pac.....many more...definitely one of the gods of hip-hop. Peace.
"Im keepin it raw, illegal like Malik n Jamal". If u know u know. If not, google it, everybody snapped on this one. Reggie noble was fave though. Cheers
DMX SOOO underrated by many, we broke his records so many times we played them. THE DAWGS HERE ARRH ARRH, X GONE GIVE IT TO YA, UP IN HERE UP IN HERE .
@@DJKuroheverybody know he can spit but they don't really give him his flowers all like that. He always had punchlines for days. Underrated as a lyricist
Yo Stevie, if you do the Jada VS Beanie TBT, the peak of the beef is, in order: - Beanie Sigel - Put Ya Hands Up - Jadakiss - Son Of A Kiss - Beanie Sigel - Special Delivery
i got wayne all day, but they didn’t even use wayne’s best one, the one where he was wearing kobes high school jersey destroys all of these, he said “i move thru ya place, waving the 4 at chestplates, eyes lower than my test grades, but my flow so grammatically superb like my essays”
Thank you for bringing back my childhood. My fathers a dj and all i remember is great memories in my child hood watching this! Need more appropriate you !
All these shits was CLASSIC!... Fuckin miss rap city da basement wit tig!. ....playin pool an shit, spinnin records, muthafucka please! Shit was gravy!... 🎉😂😂
EM hands down no comparison his rythme ability always will be savant level .....Need to play these for Dr. Umars strange weird I dont know anything bout rap self
I got the shit kicked out of me by 2 older dudes when I was a teenager and my friends made fun of me because I was furious over my DmX shirt getting ripped up but didn't give a fuck about the beating I took😂
Absolute memories this is real real hip hop which I miss so much compared to the trash that we're listening to today anyway one love to old school hip-hop forever ✊🏾
Not totally sure what sparked the Slim Shady hate? I've heard that he dropped a somewhat controversial album in recent years or something? I don't know but it can't be denied that the man's gifted. On Drake's FOREVER, LOSE YOURSELF, SING FOR THE MOMENT with Aerosmith, CLEANIN' OUT MY CLOSET, a silly song I enjoy MY NAME IS; and in the latter years of his career, DROP THE WORLD on Weezy's track, ZEUS with White Gold, 2 Bangers with Rihanna, LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE & THE MONSTER and, more of a guilty pleasure, for me, as far as it being "HipHop" goes, "BEAUTIFUL". Dude has gifted us with gems. 💎💎💎💎💎

Busta used to bring DMX type energy but even then DMX was a different type of animal. One of the greatest to ever bless a mic. Thanks Stevie
AMEN.
Fuckin a I fuck with x since 98
this era of hiphop is unmatched
FACTS!!!
Eminem my fav rapper but DMX was the best
The energy DMX brings is insane.
Rip X, missed his voice!
That first DMX album increased the crime rate here in London. That Summer was wild
X!!!!!!!!
Correlation is not causation

My guy. Those mentioned are also in my top 5.
Yb definitely has the energy he just don't rap any where close to as good as X but then again that's all rappers today
The way Wayne just delivered those verses was smooth af I’ve always loved that Wayne freestyle
Bcoz its just written..dont tell me that aint written
I prefer DMX, it just makes you want to jump and wild out

DMX is one of the all time greatest
Absolute unique energy
I got Lil Wayne all day 💯💯
Dmx was an absolute monster in the game those first two albums went so f’n hard and both number 1 and triple platinum in same year!!!!
Dam DMX got some energy I miss that sh!T in music..... But I'm glad I was around to see it
X wasn’t a terrible actor either. Belly is still in my top 5 movies.
Belly, Never Die Alone, Cradle to the Grave few of my favs with him
He was great in Belly. He made that movie! For the rec, Lil Wayne is WACK!
Honestly they had the perfect cast for that movie. It upsets me Hollywood didn’t recognize Hype Williams and the team for that movie.
@@JordanJMyersOh yeah!!! I forgot about that one! DMX was a spectacular actor, damn! Thanks for reminding me
@@JordanJMyersNotes trust you’ve reminded me, I think DMX was competing with Pac on his believability as an actor! That mf was compelling

Bizzy Bone in da Basement went crazy!!
The 1 with all the Bone Thugs & the 1 with his afro 👩🏻🦱
DMX is absolutely one of the best to ever do it. Even the best couldn't follow him. That interview of Jay-z talking about being scared to go on stage after DMX says it all.
Rap city was the only show i watched on BET back then 💯
The best freestyles rap City
Sean Price
Cassidy
Canibus
DMX and 2pac was different sides of the same coin to me
Agreed!!! I’ve always thought this!!! I knew it couldn’t be just me!!!! Lol 👌
I remember hearing someone say “if pac was the rose that grew from concrete, DMX was the concrete”
DMX is always in my top 5
The last em freestyle was actually a freestyle all of ems joints were freestyles the only one he turned into a song was that no apologies freestyle but everyone on this list are goated 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The fact that EM still killin everything he touches its crazy

I was just going to say he had one of the best in the basement freestyle
Cass was legendary in this era lol... Killa Cam part went hard af and people not even acting like that was top tier lol
Lil wayne murdered that shit

all flames stevie thanks for the reaction
Luda always killed rap city in the basement.
Hell yeah. Luda kills it ALWAYS
Feels like a midget is hanging from my necklace lol
Yeah uterus go hard
I swear, when it comes to top rappers, Luda stays underrated. He was the original Feature Killer before J. Cole. No one raps like Luda.

one of the only times u see waynes face not covered in art the shit is dope that em DOING DRIVE BYE AND MISS U WITH 5 TRIES GETS ME EVERY TIME.
I liked Eminem👱♂️, Lil Flip🍀, & Bizzy Bone👩🏻🦱 cause they were actually off of the Dome 🤯🧠 no prewritten 🚫📝 or same lines from their album songs 🚫💽
Why the Bizzy Bone emoji a female?
Yo Stevie, if you do the Jada VS Beanie TBT, the peak of the beef is, in order:
- Beanie Sigel - Put Ya Hands Up
- Jadakiss - Son Of A Kiss
- Beanie Sigel - Special Delivery
X was setting tha booth on fire
Bone thugs was legendary 👌🏽🔥 Bizzy Bone
Listen Wayne was my top for me.
The Basement is classic!!
DMX highest energy from an M.C. ever. And Cam is always hilarious
Between DMX and PAC
Counting the money was classic for real
i got wayne all day, but they didn’t even use wayne’s best one, the one where he was wearing kobes high school jersey destroys all of these, he said “i move thru ya place, waving the 4 at chestplates, eyes lower than my test grades, but my flow so grammatically superb like my essays”
Yep. Wayne better
🦍
Every time Ludacris has been on rap city in the basement it's legendary.
damn I miss those days real lyricist spitting real lyrics in a real booth tha basement was just something different
Thank you for bringing back my childhood. My fathers a dj and all i remember is great memories in my child hood watching this! Need more appropriate you !
I remember going home after school and waiting for rap city to be on. Or even 106 in park😊
X was just different there has never been an impact like X 2 number 1 album in 1 year .
Rap City was the show back in the day. Lloyd Banks Freestyles are also fire
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood. And then there was.... R.i.p Earl Simmon
The word I think best used to describe is soul. Man if you got that as an artist in any genre. You are going to be transcendent
I thought the world forgot about about that DMX slaughter in the booth. Sheesh. Going to watch the unedited just to relive it again.
DMX is the one who got me into music in general.
Em, Wayne, and DMX. My favorites rappers. Em number one for sure.
Cam'ron ate that beat 💪🏾 i remember that shit 🔥🔥🔥
Cam’ron whole vibe was the best but Em was absurd
All these shits was CLASSIC!... Fuckin miss rap city da basement wit tig!. ....playin pool an shit, spinnin records, muthafucka please! Shit was gravy!... 🎉😂😂
Love when mr.knight spits okd school sht. Props ny guy
Luda so slept on! DMX is in his own league!! Eminem is the 🐐.
Dmx is one of those who always make it to my playlists weather it club/party or just straight hip hop
The energy that DMX bought to rap was revived by pop smoke and died again the day pop was killed.
Two whole different
Lmao 😂😂 I can’t
@@ammarhazimaljanabi3618 I’m talking ab energy numb nuts. Not anything else.

Yeah I remember growing up in the in the 90s around get home from middle school get ready at 4:00 to watch Rhapsody
Killa was SO NICE yo lol
Dmx is 1 of my top. He needs all the flowers 💐 I love Luda too
Bro. Em killed it. I forgot about that Freeway freestyle
. Rap just aint the same. 90's rap is the best era.
Same energy as DMX is Mystikal
Freeway was insane !
That boy killa Cam 🎉🎉🎉
I Heard thousand times Jadakiss track’s but didn’t find the title 🥹✌️❤️🔥someone know’s it bro’s and sis’s 🙏✌️
Words can’t express how much I miss this era of hip hop.
@Stevie.knight respect go spitting straight facts on dmx he dont get enough respect amongst the greats
You remember the redman freestyle because he used that verse on the lost boyz album
DMX THE CLOSEST TO PAC .. STORY TELLERS ... LOVE THEM BOTH
😅......what a start, yo tops of the chops😂❤❤❤❤
I remember most of these too, idk how 😂 maybe cause i was young and it sort of got printed to my brain 😂
Lil flip in that blue Superman shirt can’t find anymore shit was hard af
Cam'ron 🔥🔥
Stevie can you do some DMX throwback reviews? lovin the real sh*t keep up the grind and grow.
Dmx the best...period...pre-writtens vs off the top. Dmx never gets his flowers, but better than all the so called best
Love dmx but pretty sure all his lines were from 2 or 3 different verses on released content
I got the shit kicked out of me by 2 older dudes when I was a teenager and my friends made fun of me because I was furious over my DmX shirt getting ripped up but didn't give a fuck about the beating I took😂
That's true, DMX was a darn BEAST! I've always had him in the top 5!
Luda killed it as usual
Great job Bro
Really hoping to see more DMX reactions now Stevie !
Cassidy flowin on Obie Trice beat was the dopest, also Jin the MC on that same beat as well!
Hey Stevie, any chance you could check out some of Lil Dicky's new shit? HAHAHA and Harrison Ave. Are really good
At 10:22 where is that from? I’ve followed Em since Infinite days and all freestyles. Never heard this
Absolute memories this is real real hip hop which I miss so much compared to the trash that we're listening to today anyway one love to old school hip-hop forever ✊🏾
I remember hearing that Cam freestyle way late, and having a wild hot take that, that freestyle was better than everything he'd put out.
