[DarkandHellisHot]

Many questions, no answers, just stress
Try to hold my head and remember that I'm blessed
With the curse and it gets worse as time goes by
Can't see straight 'cause I'm so high
Why ask why when you know?
nikka, when it's your time to go, you go

This is when I knew he was gonna be That Dude.
When that beat switched up, and the inflection changed…

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

This that shyt

 

[Awesome Wells]

Produced by PK and Grease.

They blessed that first album with perfect production for X, at the time. Pushed a classic on us and changed the game, when it was much needed. RIP to The Dog.

Incredible record

Crazy how Ruff Ryders anthem was the 3rd single. You tellin me "Get at me dog" (which was a great jump off joint) and "Stop being greedy" we're released before "Ruff Ryders Anthem"?? That was the difference maker in having DMX blow up to a superstar. "RRA" was released a week before the album dropped, they don't do that, DMX probably just goes Gold, if that. TIMING, is everything.

 

[Sean7]

Definitely one of my fave songs off this classic album....

 

[FreshAIG]

Alltime classic

"I'm drunk so I'ma bash his head wide open
Beggin' me to stop, but at least he died hopin'
Didn't get his wish, and now he's a dish for the pack
Two glowin' red eyes, everything else is black"

Bar always cracked me up

 

[Reptile]

Damn that beat is retarded.
