DMX - Exodus (Discussion Thread)

I don’t think I want to hear old nikkas rap anymore. RIP to the dog

What is this supposed to mean?

 

[spliz]

waiting for Jadakiss' verse to leak on bath salts so the song could be longer than 3:01

Swizz should’ve never removed the hook. And the song would’ve stretched to about 4 minutes and some change.

Smh.. this is so bad

 

[TEKBEATZ]

So far I like what I heard.

 

[spliz]

Skyscrapers is one of them songs that will be everywhere.

 

[spliz]

Man. That shyt wit Snoop sounds like old X. I wish he rapped like that on literally everything.

That’s cause it’s not bad like these nikkas tryna say.

I think it's a solid album. Clearly a rush job, and full of features but at least the features are good. The production is good for the most part.

And it didn’t need to be rushed. It’s not like X was in the studio right before he died and had 12 solid joints in the can.

Swizz clearly called in those features and it’s not like anyone could say no. You got Jay, Nas and Bono but lead with Griselda. Makes no sense.

this should’ve been an album with a strong visual rollout that built up to the summer. Tie in some good imagery with the visually highlights of Earl’s life and throw in the pain aspect as well. Honestly, this is an album rollout that would’ve benefited from a Donda creative director hand unless they were gonna lean for a heavy Ruff Ryder vibe. They did none of that.

Cant listen till later, someone please tell me X sounds better than he did on the Griselda track?

What u mean? X said he was working with these cats before he died. Aside from Moneybagg Yo because that was supposed to be a Pop Smoke song but they ended up having label and clearance issues and couldn’t put it on the album.

How old is that Jay verse? That’s one of his bottom tier verses but it doesn’t sound new

The beat on the moneybag yo song is bottom tier Swizz and that’s saying something

 

[Why-Fi]

bath salts is nasty. raw af

 

[Ripp]

Just got through it... ima need to listen a few more times before I say anything.... way too much Swizz though I can say that much

the jay, nas song first surfaced during that swizz/just blaze battle ..and I believe that was close to 5 years ago...and it was “unreleased” then so it was probably recorded like a year or 2 before that lol ..probably when the “bath salt zombie” gimmick was a thing on the net..which I think was like 2013
