:beli:LAD was damn near complete and did not shoe horned a lot of rappers just to capitalize off of a fallen rapper. :hubie:I know folks are going to blinded by the hype which they should because "DMX", but when you have fukking "Bono" on the album, it comes off as a cash op for a fallen GOAT.

In the immortal words of Jadakiss:

"You know dead rappers get better promotion"




DMX said most of the album was complete BEFORE he died and he mentioned Bono amongst his collaborators so….

The entire album just screams "capitalizing", instead of a legit X album. You mean to tell me all of these motherfukkers wanted to rock out with X, despite in his days of living he pretty much was just rocking with a selective few like The Lox. I honestly would rather have the album as it should had been, instead of a mash up of rappers that barely gave a damn about Earl when he was begging for soup when he was sick.

This. Stinks of let me get a verse on there etc.

X been working on this for a while and Hov etc had a chance to be a part of it but all of a sudden people got verses on it :stopitslime:

You watch his drinks champs. He was talking bout how he was surprised all these rappers and other artist was eager to work with him. I don’t think this is much of a mash up

When he was on Talib's podcast he mentioned all these people being on his album The Lox, Nas, Lil Wayne, Snoop, Usher, Alicia, Bono, Griselda. He even said Dre was supposed to do a couple of records too. He didn't mention Jay, but that's probably because the Bath Salt song wasn't originally gonna be on the project.

Or maybe it's coz these features might help with record sales the proceeds of which will go to X kids.

I love X but wasn't nobody checking for him anymore when he was alive. It is what it is.

Most those features including Bono was already on the album. X spoke on this in the DC interview :gucci:

And said the album was almost complete

Literally everything you said about LAD applies to Exodus :dwillhuh:
