But X tried to work with him. This post makes no sense lol.
DJ Quik said one of the worst things ever on that MC eight diss....I couldnt believe it.Probably, I don't like how people try to say rappers from that time periods lyrics were suspect though. We knew certain things weren't supposed to be taken literally then.
Snoop gets bashed real hard on Threads...Nelly too.Nah Snoop showed his ass performing for MAGA and people know how much of a liar he is now.
But having no talent means you fall off and beg for returns...Ja Rule...So basically what I’m gathering from this thread is that taking L’s, crashing out, and making bad decisions makes you “real”.
DMX lost so much during the 2000’s that we felt sorry for him.
But he was still willing to work with him. He didn't refuse initially so I see no real difference.X did that as a favor…
Kellz was playing games though
So we just gonna pretend like nikkas didn't know that X was arranging for his own son to get raped as a minor?![]()
While we’re at it, throw Larry June in there. E40 and Too Short rarely get BS thrown their way too.

I remember Crooked I made a whole diss record to DMX over that statement but it was largely forgotten even though it was solid lolI may be biased but i feel like Too Short and definitely E-40 got criticism. Or maybe as a big fan of both i just noticed it more.
I would just say there really was nothing polarizing about DMX. He was lyrical enough to not have haters on that front. He made hits,but they werent pop sellout records. So you never had anybody to accuse him of not being real hiphop or soft. He never had a real beef so you dont have fans picking sides against him like with Nas,Jayz and Pac and Big.
Only incident i can remember is i think he said some shyt about the west coast and got some backlash. But it was just a blip because even the west coast messed with DMX and people chose to write it off as the crack made him say it![]()
