DMX Debut Single "Get At me Dog" Released on this day, 26 Yrs ago

[DarkandHellisHot]

Let me holla at you, youngin', Baltimore shyt
Nah'mean? I'm just robbin' to eat
And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbin' the street
When we starvin', we eat whatever's there
Come on, you know the code in the street; whatever's fair
Blood stains and chalk, means your man couldn't walk
After the talk about him not bein' on 11-33 to New York
Transformin'-ass nikkas'll get it quick
And yo, for real, that nikka K can suck my dikk
And it's gon' take all these nikkas in the rap game to barely move me
Cause when I blow shyt up, I have nikkas fallin' like white bytches in a scary movie
Ah! You know I don't know how to act
Get too close to nikkas, it's like, "Protected by Viper, stand back"
What's this? I thought you nikkas was killers, demented
The fukk you want me to do with this coward?
Finish him, it's ended

Really brought back grimy rap from the shiny suit era.

See I play with it and stay with it, I'm ok with it, I'll do it, but he will be the nygga, that they say did it
DMX - Pull It ft Camron



Don't play with it don't play with don't play with it.... I stay with it...


Lola Brooke sharked him unless she's clearly stated DMX is the inspiration for the hook. In her defense "Pull It" never got a proper release, so she never technically never took food off his table. If you aren't deep into hip-hop you wouldn't be able to catch stuff like this. I wonder what his response would have been to the Lola Brooke song blowing up if he was alive?

 

[Controversy]

By about April, this record was EVERYWHERE

DMX really transitioned rap from the shiny suit era back to the streets

He really transformed the game

But what laid the groundwork for this successful first single was all those features he was doing...Get At Me Dog got EVERYONE'S attn by the time it dropped

Actually one of my least favorite songs of his, and I'm a giant fan, but grew to appreciate it as the years have gone on.

The first legitimate paycheck I ever got, I bought his first album (on cd) and a boombox. Met him a few times too. Rest in peace and love to a legend
